Описание:
What happens when your body doesn't look how it's supposed to look, or feel how it's supposed to feel, or do what it's supposed to do? Who or what defines the ideals behind these expectations? How can we challenge them and live more peacefully in our bodies?
Shameful Bodies: Religion and the Culture of Physical Improvement explores these questions by examining how traditional religious narratives and modern philosophical assumptions come together in the construction and pursuit of a better body in contemporary western societies. Drawing on examples from popular culture such as self-help books, magazines, and advertisements, Michelle Mary Lelwica shows how these narratives and assumptions encourage us to go to war against our bodies-to fight fat, triumph over disability, conquer chronic pain and illness, and defy aging. Through an ethic of conquest and conformity, the culture of physical improvement trains us not only to believe that all bodily processes are under our control, but to feel ashamed about those parts of our flesh that refuse to comply with the cultural ideal. Lelwica argues that such shame is not a natural response to being fat, physically impaired, chronically sick, or old. Rather, body shame is a religiously and culturally conditioned reaction to a commercially-fabricated fantasy of physical perfection.
While Shameful Bodies critiques the religious and cultural norms and narratives that perpetuate external and internalized judgment and aggression toward "shameful" bodies, it also engages the resources of religions, especially feminist theologies and Buddhist thought/practice, to construct a more affirming approach to health and healing-an approach that affirms the diversity, fragility, interdependence, and impermanence of embodied life.

Описание:
In his Problemata, Aristotle provided medieval thinkers with the occasion to inquire into the natural causes of the sexual desires of men to act upon or be acted upon by other men, thus bringing human sexuality into the purview of natural philosophers, whose aim it was to explain the causes of objects and events in nature. With this philosophical justification, some late medieval intellectuals asked whether such dispositions might arise from anatomy or from the psychological processes of habit formation. As the fourteenth-century philosopher Walter Burley observed, "Nothing natural is shameful." The authors, scribes, and readers willing to "contemplate base things" never argued that they were not vile, but most did share the conviction that they could be explained. From the evidence that has survived in manuscripts of and related to the Problemata, two narratives emerge: a chronicle of the earnest attempts of medieval medical theorists and natural philosophers to understand the cause of homosexual desires and pleasures in terms of natural processes, and an ongoing debate as to whether the sciences were equipped or permitted to deal with such subjects at all. Mining hundreds of texts and deciphering commentaries, indices, abbreviations, and marginalia, Joan Cadden shows how European scholars deployed a standard set of philosophical tools and a variety of rhetorical strategies to produce scientific approaches to sodomy.
Описание: In this powerful, illustrated and well documented book, Dr. Sloane-through extensive research-has undertaken the task of setting the record straight against Replacement Theology, which is a History of the Church's Dark and Shameful Treatment of the Jews. Also known as Covenant Theology, it wrongly teaches that the Church has replaced the Jews as God's Chosen People, alleging that it was the Jews who were responsible for the death of Christ and, therefore, God has supposedly turned His back on them. This fabrication of the Church has no basis in Scripture. In the first century the debate was, "How can a Gentile become a Christian?" In the second century onward, the debate became, "How can a Jew become a Christian?" In addition to the Bible, God placed certain signs in the heavens, which are tied directly to the events surrounding Israel, "And God said, 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; AND LET THEM BE FOR SIGNS, and for seasons, and for days, and years' " (Genesis 1:14, emphasis added). Such heavenly signs include the Blood Moons which have accompanied major events surrounding the children of Israel, up to and including this very day. Discover the roots of Supersessionism (Replacement Theology) which has resulted in the horrific wholesale hatred and slaughter of millions of Jews throughout the Christian era. It is time for the Church to repent and come alongside their Jewish brothers and sisters and be a blessing to them as God ordained when He promised Abraham, "I will bless them who bless thee and curse them who curse thee" (Genesis 12:3). This book will expose the atrocities done against the Jews in the name of Jesus and show the overwhelming, biblical evidence against Replacement Theology.
