Описание: Old Testament Theology provides a foundational tool for a theological reading of the Old Testament. In the books central chapters, John Kessler delineates six differing representations of the divine-human relationship, with special emphasis on the kind of response each one evokes from the people of God. He traces these representations through the Old Testament, into the New Testament, and reflects on their significance for the values and character formation of the people of God today. Old Testament Theology combines elements of Old Testament history, exegesis, hermeneutics, and theology, and situates them within the social, cultural, and intellectual world of ancient Israel and Israelite religious institutions. The result is a comprehensive and readable introduction to Old Testament theology for students in seminaries and colleges.

Описание:
My father's abstract painting that I chose for this book cover inspired the following analogies and insights about life.
At birth, in some ways, each of us starts life like an artist standing before a blank canvas, board or sheet of paper. For the duration of our earthly existence, we'll be creating a picture of our life which will also leave an imprint on those around us. Initially, it won't be clear what the picture is going to be - the design and images will continue to emerge as time goes on.
Symbolically, the picture may be formed with different media for a two-dimensional piece of art. Or, it may become a three-dimensional collage, mosaic, vase or a statue. Indeed we are all artists, but instead of the canvas and paint or other materials, the media of life are our bodies, minds and spirits creating our experiences and fashioning our lives. Though we all have common human experiences, each of us is also unique. In addition, everyone has both special gifts and certain liabilities, as well as a different style. As a result, every person will create a reality unlike anyone who has ever lived or will live.
A hidden and mysterious dimension to the art piece of our life is that of the transcendent Divine -- a guiding Hand working behind the scenes, though often unperceivably. While we have free will and choose our paths, which in turn lead to certain outcomes, at times we are guided into situations that shape the course of our lives in ways that we would have never expected or selected.
Some compare life to a divinely woven tapestry, that from below (our human perspective) looks like a tangled mess, but from the top (divine perspective) is a stunning design of awesome beauty - which while in our physical existence we can't perceive because of our limited senses. Ultimately, in God's perfect plan, whatever happens in this life will be for the good of ourselves and all others, even though it may not appear so at the time.
The cover painting also conveys to me the idea of life as a series of experiences, coming in various shapes and colours. For example, the browns and blacks might be difficult or traumatic experiences; the bright colours positive or edifying experiences; and the whites and yellows highs and special insights. Some of life's events may be both challenging and enlightening, as seen by the light and dark colours side by side. The yellow background could portray -blank spaces- yet to be filled before our life ends.
My father's painting, then, symbolically portrays what this book is about - it consists of several patches from the mosaic of my life with reflections on the wisdom and/or spiritual insights that have been gleaned from the various incidents. The book has two parts - Wisdom from Life and Spiritual Analogies from Life.
The experiences in the first part of the book, Wisdom from Life, each include a challenge or a question, and then suggest scriptural principles for how to effectively deal with such a situation. No -best way- or -the way- is given as each person and their circumstances are different. However, the wisdom may be helpful when one is faced with similar dilemmas of life.
The second part, Spiritual Analogies from Life, consists of stories, followed by biblical analogies and metaphors with the intent of providing glimpses into spiritual realities. All names have been changed to protect the privacy of those involved.
For those who desire to learn more about the biblical teachings behind the conclusions, footnotes provide scriptural references.

Описание: In this work, Harry H. Singleton seeks a new paradigm for revelation that pushes us beyond America`s historical collaboration with Christian sponsored racism and the religious individual. He calls instead for a revelation that prevents the liberation imperative inherent in the Bible from being used to justify black dehumanization.

Описание: In 1976, Jesus took Mary K. Baxter on a spiritual journey for thirty nights to witness the torments of hell, charging her to reveal the terrible reality of God's judgment and to relate the urgent message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Mary wrote about her journey to hell in her best-selling book A Divine Revelation of Hell, which has sold more than 1.3 million copies. After those thirty nights, Jesus told Mary, "I will close up your mind, and you will not remember some of the things I have shown and told you. But I will reopen your mind and bring back your understanding in the latter days. Then I will open up your remembrance...." Recently, God has brought back to Mary's remembrance many of those experiences because these revelations are particularly for our day. A Divine Revelation of Satan's Deceptions contains new images of hell that Mary has not related in her other books, as well as crucial insights into the deceptions Satan uses to destroy people and the tactics he employs to defeat believers. God has given His people anointings, gifts, and resources to build His kingdom that Satan has stolen and is holding captive in hell. This book reveals how we can use various "keys to the kingdom" to restore these blessings and to destroy the powers of darkness. Our choice is between allowing Satan to deceive and rob us--or claiming our spiritual inheritance and conquering the enemy in the power of God.

Описание:
Sovereignty in Exile explores sovereignty and state power through the case of a liberation movement that set out to make itself into a state. The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) was founded by the Polisario Front in the wake of Spain's abandonment of its former colony, the disputed Western Sahara. Morocco laid claim to the same territory, and the conflict has locked Polisario and Morocco in a political stalemate that has lasted forty years. Complicating the situation is the fact that Polisario conducts its day-to-day operations in refugee camps near Tindouf, in Algeria, which house most of the Sahrawi exile community. SADR (a partially recognized state) and Polisario (Western Sahara's liberation movement) together form an unusual governing authority, originally premised on the dismantling of a perceived threat to national (Sahrawi) unity: tribes. Drawing on unprecedented long-term research gained by living with Sahrawi refugee families, Alice Wilson examines how tribal social relations are undermined, recycled, and have reemerged as the refugee community negotiates governance, resolves disputes, manages social inequalities, and improvises alternatives to taxation. Wilson trains an ethnographic lens on the creation of administrative categories, legal reforms, aid distribution, marriage practices, local markets, and contested elections within the camps. Tracing social, political, and economic changes among Sahrawi refugees, Sovereignty in Exile reveals the dynamics of a postcolonial liberation movement that has endured for decades in the deserts of North Africa while trying to bring about the revolutionary transformation of a society which identifies with a Bedouin past.

Описание:
The military rule of General Zia ul-Haq, former President of Pakistan, had significant political repercussions for the country. Islamization policies were far more pronounced and control over women became the key marker of the state's adherence to religious norms. Women's rights activists mobilized as a result, campaigning to reverse oppressive policies and redefine the relationship between state, society and Islam. Their calls for a liberal democracy led them to be targeted and suppressed. This book is a history of the modern women's movement in Pakistan. The research is based on documents from the Women's Action Forum archives, court judgments on relevant cases, as well as interviews with activists, lawyers and judges and analysis of newspapers and magazines. Ayesha Khan argues that the demand for a secular state and resistance to Islamization should not be misunderstood as Pakistani women sympathizing with a western agenda. Rather, their work is a crucial contribution to the evolution of the Pakistani state. The book outlines the discriminatory laws and policies that triggered domestic and international outcry, landmark cases of sexual violence that rallied women activists together and the important breakthroughs that enhanced women's rights. At a time when the women's movement in Pakistan is in danger of shrinking, this book highlights its historic significance and its continued relevance today.
Описание: Johns Revelation has led to countless diverse and divergent interpretations. Readers cryptic notions of violent end-time scenarios, strict prophetic truths, and encouragement for the faithful have undeniably colored the books reception through the centuries. In Visions of the Apocalypse, Bruce Chilton maps the ways in which the text has been read through the centuries and introduces these main interpretations of Revelation, such as Papias millenarian kingdom, Augustines vertical ascent to heaven, Origens transcendent message, and Dionysius belief in Revelations hidden message. Visions of the Apocalypse provides the ways in which Revelation has been read and suggests to todays readers the strategies for understanding Johns Revelation in a contemporary context.
