Four Views on Women and Church Leadership: Should Bible-Believing (Evangelical) Churches Appoint Women Preachers, Pastors, Elders, and Bishops?, Highfield Ron
Описание: Does God's all-encompassing will restrict our freedom? Does God's ownership and mastery over us diminish our dignity? The fear that God is a threat to our freedom and dignity goes far back in Western thought. Such suspicion remains with us today in our so-called secular society. In such a context any talk of God tends to provoke responses that range from defiance to subservience to indifference. How did Western culture come to this place? What impact does this social and intellectual environment have on those who claim to believe in God or more specifically in the Christian God of the Bible? Professor of religion Ron Highfield traces out the development of Western thought that has led us our current frame of mind from Plato, Augustine and Descartes through Locke, Kant, Blake Bentham, Hegel, Nietzsche--all the way down to Charles Taylor's landmark workSources of the Self. At the heart of the issue is the modern notion of the autonomous self and the inevitable crisis it provokes for a view of human identity, freedom and dignity found in God. Can the modern self really secure its own freedom, dignity and happiness? What alternative do we have? Highfield makes pertinent use of trinitarian theology to show how genuine Christian faith responds to this challenge by directing us to a God who is not in competition with his human creations, but rather who provides us with what we seek but could never give ourselves. God, Freedom and Human Dignity is essential reading for Christian students who are interested in the debates around secularism, modernity and identity formation.

Описание:
In golf, there are drills for every tiny, technical element of the swing. But where are the drills that help a player improve their mental game and develop a focused mind? Telling a student to 'stay in the moment'.'focus on the target' or 'play one shot at a time' are just words, if we don't have the tools to help a player become aware of how these things actually feel. OSVEA, the 5 components of a golf shot, is precisely that kind of tool. Through the practical drills, challenges and games in this book, players can develop their own personal interpretation of what the world's top players do in the pre and post-shot routine. (They can also see just how much fun golf training can be.) What's more, with OSVEA everything you think, feel and experience during these challenges is transferred into your game - helping you enjoy a higher level of competitive golf. This is a book for coaches, for dedicated parents and for passionate players who want to know more about the powers and possibilities of a stronger mental game. This is OSVEA.
Описание: The author of Time Longa' Dan Twine presents another intimate look at the history of the Virgin Islands, here pursuing the long past of the town of Christiansted and the stories of some of the people who lived and died there. The reader will be surprised to read that the town is older than the great majority of American cities and towns, that it has been occupied by no less than seven different nations, and that at one time it served as the capital of the Danish West Indies. Equally fascinating are the chapters on the broad variety of people who at one time or another called the town home-Dove Braffith, perhaps the greatest of the island's painters; Adrian Bentzon, a governor of many talents and curious adventures; Ralph de Chabert, a labor leader and outstanding journalist; Fritz Henle, a world-class photographer; Charles Blair and Maureen O'Hara and their Antilles Airboats airlines that connected the islands of the Virgin group; and Socha Svender, a sculptress of fascinating creations. In addition, this work includes accounts of the lives of Ward Canaday, American industrialist and Crucian farmer; Frederik "Africanus" Svane, a Danish-African who left his home on the Gold Coast to serve in the household of Ludvig von Holberg, Denmark's greatest writer; Wulff Joseph Wulff, a Dane who lived his life and founded a family on the African Gold Coast; and Juan Garrido, perhaps the first African to set foot on St. Croix who later rode at the side of Hern n Cortes as he conquered Mexico. Also there are stories of local Pirates, Maroons, Jumbies, Carib Indians, and Obeah, along with a sketch of Virgin Islands culture. Attention is given to the recent Palestinian immigrants to these islands and to the complex relationship among Anna Heegaard, Peter von Scholten, and Anna's present Danish descendents. Finally, the author revisits the controversial question of the Columbus landing at Salt River in 1493. This book opens the door for the curious newcomer to the Virgin Islands who desires to become acquainted with these endlessly fascinating islands, and at the same time, it provides new insights to those long familiar with the local culture and history.
Описание: From the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter, from Occupy to extremist and fascist groups, activists use digital media to coordinate, share information, document actions, and send messages of support, solidarity, opposition, and resistance. At the same time, activists are often suspicious of how digital technology is used by authorities and government bodies for surveillance, censorship, and profiling. Social Media, Social Movements offers a detailed investigation of this complicated and often messy relationship, examining how activists employ digital tools, how they resist and change them, and how social movements perceive digital media’s benefits and drawbacks. Drawing on fieldwork carried out at protest sites in the USA, Australia, Greece, and Tunisia, observations from demonstrations, interviews with activists, and analysis of digital material produced by social movements, Social Media, Social Movements brings together perspectives from those in the movement and on the ground (including those who might actively avoid using digital media) and those involved in and representing the movements online. Building on this innovative combined methodology, researcher-activists Sky Croeser and Tim Highfield reflect critically on their own roles as researchers, exploring research relationships to activist practices, social media platforms, and the politics and privilege of academia.
