Описание:
The media's coverage of religion is an important question for academic researchers, given the central role which news media play in ensuring that people are up-to-date with religion news developments. Not only is there a lack of treatment of the subject in other countries, but there is also the absence of comparative study on news and religion. A key question is how the media, the political system, the religions themselves, the culture, and the economy influence how religion is reported in different countries. Spiritual News: Reporting Religion Around the World is intended to fill this gap. The book is divided into six parts: an introductory section; the newsgathering process; religion reporting in different regions; media events concerning religion; political and social change and the role of religion news; future trends.
Описание: Over the course of five deployments to the Middle East since 9/11, Colonel (retired) Brian Rees documented his daily life at Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Kandahar, Camp Bucca and elsewhere, by writing emails to his friends and family: "...they fired their warning shots, disabling (engine block) shots, then lit up the vehicle with their .50 cal. killed two or three and wounded a half dozen more. the .50 cal produces horrendous wounds, not bullet holes, but big chunks just gone, no buttock, no shoulder, just erased. if it hits the torso, no ER visit, just straight to the morgue. the tragic thing: they weren't bad guys, just a bad driver. c'mon guys, we've been here three years, everybody in Iraq knows, DON'T TRY TO RUN AMERICAN CHECKPOINTS DON'T RUN UP ON AMERICAN CONVOYS it's like driving on the right side of the road, it's not optional.... i can't blame the marines, you've got about 100 yards, just a few seconds to make the decision; if you don't fire, you and your friends can be dead in another couple seconds. it's a helluva burden to place on a 20 year old. something they must live with forever. a burden of their service that often goes unappreciated.... a bunch of customers just rolled into the ER, so i gotta go. looking forward to coming home in may. love to all, brian" Published for the first time in this memoir, Detained is a candid look into America's involvement in the "Global War on Terror." Humorous and insightful, you hear what it is like to be a doctor to Taliban and al-Qaeda insurgents, to serve at Saddam Hussein's trial, and to work with a mostly Muslim population in an occupied country. Dr. Rees gives us a first-hand look at our wars, and at some of the ethical dilemmas faced by a physician on the battlefield: in the morning he may be required to provide medical care to detainees who have killed or maimed US soldiers, and in the afternoon he may have to send US soldiers, who are developing posttraumatic stress, back to combat duty. While attending the US Army War College, Colonel Rees integrated evidence-based discoveries from Eastern spiritual traditions (such as meditation) that have shown promise in treating and preventing the moral injury of posttraumatic stress, as well as interventions that can help to modify behavior on the battlefield, actually influencing the course of combat. He explores his own Catholicism and shares his unique inside perspectives on topics as diverse as how the Army molds soldiers, how the Veterans Administration treats veterans, what went wrong at Abu Ghraib and in our invasion of Iraq, the dynamics fueling the Transcendental Meditation organization, the influences of fundamentalism in both Islam and Christianity, and whether Islam is a "religion of peace." Detained unflinchingly addresses some of the defining questions of this generation: how and why have Americans been engaged in wars for a decade and a half? Will religion and spirituality help or hinder our efforts to conclude our ongoing wars on favorable terms? Dr. Rees reflects on a number of risks we face as a family of nations, how we can avoid a "clash of civilizations," and how we must heal casualties at home and abroad. All the proceeds from this book go toward programs that support veterans and those with PTSD.

Should your faith and your spirituality be a matter of simply private concern, or should they connect to social action?
This book explores the disconnect between social and religious progressivism. The author maintains that both social and religious notes are essential for those who want to further a progressive agenda that creates equity and compassion, restores the dignity of all people, and ensures the full participation of all in common life, common wealth, and the common good.
The Space Between builds bridges across the space between these elements, both between social and religious belief, but also between contemplative action and active contemplation. This book is an vigorous and unashamed call for social action, but specifically a social action that grows from contemplation, but also for the balance and strength that comes from resting and waiting.

Описание:
Refuting the common perception that the American left has a religion problem, Vaneesa Cook highlights an important but overlooked intellectual and political tradition that she calls "spiritual socialism." Spiritual socialists emphasized the social side of socialism and believed the most basic expression of religious values—caring for the sick, tired, hungry, and exploited members of one's community—created a firm footing for society. Their unorthodox perspective on the spiritual and cultural meaning of socialist principles helped make leftist thought more palatable to Americans, who associated socialism with Soviet atheism and autocracy. In this way, spiritual socialism continually put pressure on liberals, conservatives, and Marxists to address the essential connection between morality and social justice. Cook tells her story through an eclectic group of activists whose lives and works span the twentieth century. Sherwood Eddy, A. J. Muste, Myles Horton, Dorothy Day, Henry Wallace, Pauli Murray, Staughton Lynd, and Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke and wrote publicly about the connection between religious values and socialism. Equality, cooperation, and peace, they argued, would not develop overnight, and a more humane society would never emerge through top-down legislation. Instead, they believed that the process of their vision of the world had to happen in homes, villages, and cities, from the bottom up. By insisting that people start treating each other better in everyday life, spiritual socialists transformed radical activism from projects of political policy-making to grass-roots organizing. For Cook, contemporary public figures such as Senator Bernie Sanders, Pope Francis, Reverend William Barber, and Cornel West are part of a long-standing tradition that exemplifies how non-Communist socialism has gained traction in American politics.

Описание:
When the demon Jade was sent to Earth, Sarah Michel was one of the first women he encountered, and almost made him lose sight of his mission. Luckily, he was able to convince Dr. Andrew Bailey, a dear friend of hers, to betray her--a decision which eliminated the growing problem Sarah was becoming. Now, four years later with a fresh start, Jade is completely focused on his agenda and has serious plans that start with the 2020 Presidential Election. Sporting a new identity, and assured the past is far behind him, nothing will get in his way. There's only one problem: Sarah was not the only loose end. Jessica, a young girl Jade encountered years ago, recognizes him. She remembers him as the last person to see her brother, Max, before her family found him dead. In her quest to learn the truth about her brother's final moments, she will unearth secrets about a spiritual world she never knew existed. But, can she stop Jade? Or will he end her?
Pastor Armour uses the vertigo that he experienced in an amusement attraction as a metaphor for the spiritual vertigo of the modern Church. Vertigo is a feeling of dizziness or lightheadedness. While the author touches on several areas, he zeroes in on the dizzying impact of politics upon the Church and the individual Christian. Both the Church and individual Christians have lost their balance, their perspective, their voice and their purpose.
Armour not only discerns various impacts of this spiritual vertigo upon the Church and its members but also gives astute Biblical advice to help both regain their equilibrium.
This is not only a brilliant prophetic and Biblical perspective; it is also a timely book as modern local churches are struggling with their identity, calling, and purpose. While looking towards a positive future, Pastor Armour considers the past and discerns the present.
Gain your Biblical, spiritual, political and practical balance by Avoiding Spiritual Vertigo.

Описание: The overall rate of incarceration in the United States has been on the rise since 1970s, skyrocketing during Ronald Reagan's presidency, and recently reaching unprecedented highs. Looking for innovative solutions to the crises produced by gigantic prison populations, Florida's Department of Corrections claims to have found a partial remedy in the form of faith and character-based correctional institutions (FCBIs). While claiming to be open to all religious traditions, FCBIs are almost always run by Protestants situated within the politics of the Christian right. The religious programming is typically run by the incarcerated along with volunteers from outside the prison. Stoddard takes the reader deep inside FCBIs, analyzing the subtle meanings and difficult choices with which the incarcerated, prison administrators, staff, and chaplains grapple every day. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research and historical analysis, Brad Stoddard argues that FCBIs build on and demonstrate the compatibility of conservative Christian politics and neoliberal economics.
Even without authoritative data on whether FCBIs are assisting rehabilitation and reducing recidivism rates, similar programs are appearing across the nation-only Iowa has declared them illegal under non-establishment-of-religion statutes. Exposing the intricate connections among incarceration, neoliberal economics, and religious freedom, Stoddard makes a timely contribution to debates about religion's role in American society.
