Emma turns up in the most surprising and inconvenient circumstances and Will must struggle to save his livelihood, his marriage and his life.
Описание: Higher education in the United States and elsewhere is being forced to respond to several disparate social and economic pressures: social trust and connectedness is down, empathy across citizens is deteriorating, political awareness and participation are low, and job prospects and financial security are sobering for many citizens, even the college educated. The response to these pressures is not to double down on one mission of higher education, namely job creation. Instead, higher education marching into the next decades requires an integrative approach that promotes job creation, skill development, citizen cultivation, and knowledge dissemination--all oriented towards strengthening communities and providing opportunity for all citizens to pursue the good life. Across eight chapters, this book provides historical and theoretical analyses of the role of higher education in society across these four missions, as well as applied mini and extended case examples demonstrating how the four missions can be successfully integrated. The extended cases consist of one pedagogy example, a teaching initiative labeled "joined up service learning" that represents deep partnership between the university and community, and an institutional design case of an academic research center and its work conducted in partnership with community stakeholders. Recommendations are advanced for an integrated approach to performance funding of higher education institutions, tenure and promotion expectations for faculty, and graduation requirements for students, among others.

Описание: This book fulfils a lifetime ambition of the author, who is a distinguished Old Testament scholar, to write on a matter near to the hearts of most people. His professional knowledge, a favourite cat and an animal sanctuary have combined to produce this book on animals in the Bible. In the Bible, John Eaton finds, is the ideal of a loving community of all the species as fundamental to God's eternal purpose. There is the understanding of the present world as fallen from God's ideal, but still restrained and guided in respect of animals by sacred laws. And there is the prophetic vision that the original ideal will, by God's action, at last be achieved. In addition, most important of all, is the light shed on the fallen world by the ideal world, the awareness in great moments of worship of the universal circle of praise when all creation unites about the Creator. So here are animals galore, from donkeys and birds, through a whole tapestry of wild life to lambs loving and lambs sacrificed, in an approach which, far from looking sentimentally at the living creatures spoken of in the Bible, has a deep concern for animals, threatened as they are in our own world today.

Описание: This study offers a new interpretation of 1 Corinthians 5—11:1. Taking a social identity approach, Ho investigates the inner logic of Paul from the ears of the Corinthian correspondence. Ho argues that Paul consistently indoctrinates new values for the audience to uphold which are against the mainstream of social values in the surrounding society. It is shown that Paul does not engage in issues of internal schism per se, but rather in the question of the distinctive values insiders should uphold so as to be recognisable to outsiders. While church is neither a sectarian nor an accommodating community, it should maintain constant social contact with outsiders so as to bring the gospel of Christ to them. In addition, insiders should practice radical values that could challenge the existing shared social values prevalent in the urban city of Corinth. These new values are based mainly on Scripture, ancient Jewish literature and the new social identity of the church defined by Jesus Christ. This fresh interpretation renders the logical flow, unitary design and coherence of 1 Cor 5 -11.1 more apparent.

Описание: In his last book, Mr. Grey sheds considerable light on a community that had a particular impact on African-Americans in the 20th century. No doubt, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali and Elijah Muhammad, who were members of that community, contributed profoundly to the African-American struggle for human rights. With the second book, the author treads down the same path with reports about the transformed community of Imam W. Deen Mohammed that the media has basically overlooked. These articles reflect part of the community's business, social, religious and of course, mental growth from the days of the Nation of Islam.

Описание:
After being asked by the associate pastor of his church to write a weekly blog post, author Jeff Hampton jumped at the opportunity to offer up his thoughts on matters of faith-which he has now done for the past ten years. This act of deliberate writing has forced him to explore what he believes, and to consider whether or not he practices what he preaches. At his wife LeAnn's suggestion, Hampton collected these blog posts into a book. It was then that LeAnn noticed that most of the writings were about community- not "community" as defined by the census bureau and the chamber of commerce, but rather all the different types of community in which we live. That includes family, friends, neighbors, churches, workplaces, towns, states, countries, races, and humankind. At different times we all live and interact in these communities-usually in several simultaneously. Jeff Hampton explores through his weekly personal writings how we all fit into and contribute (or not) to the communities to which we belong.
Описание: Drawing on scholarly research findings, this book presents a cogent case that librarians can use to work towards prioritization of reading in libraries and in schools. Reading is more important than it has ever been-recent research on reading, such as PEW reports and Scholastic`s "Kids and Family Reading Report," proves that fact.
Описание: The central question of the book is as follows: To what extent does the community present a challenge in the life of the individual? Well-known international Philosophers, historians, anthropologists, political scientists, theologians and sociologists attempted to find explications by intercultural comparison.
