 Dorothy L. Hodgson, "Gender, Justice, and the Problem of Culture: From Customary Law to Human Rights in Tanzania" English | 2017 | pages: 105 | ISBN: 0253025354, 0253025206 | PDF | 36,9 mb When, where, why, and by whom is law used to force desired social change in the name of justice? Why has culture come to be seen as inherently oppressive to women? In this finely crafted book, Dorothy L. Hodgson examines the history of legal ideas and institutions in Tanzania - from customary law to human rights - as specific forms of justice that often reflect elite ideas about gender, culture, and social change. Drawing on evidence from Maasai communities, she explores how the legacies of colonial law-making continue to influence contemporary efforts to create laws, codify marriage, criminalize FGM, and contest land grabs by state officials. Despite the easy dismissal by elites of the priorities and perspectives of grassroots women, she shows how Maasai women have always had powerful ways to confront and challenge injustice, express their priorities, and reveal the limits of rights-based legal ideals.

(Max) Wilkinson, "Forgotten Wolves of Wilkinaland: A New Etymology Hypothesis for the Wilkinson Surname in England, Ireland, Scotland, and" English | ISBN: 1480895903 | 2020 | 136 pages | EPUB | 2 MB The prevailing explanation that all forms of Wilk/Wilkin beginning surnames being variants of "diminutive for William" or "son of diminutive for William"-and the presumption that this is of Norman in origin-is simply not accurate.

Robert Moynihan, "Finding Vigano: The Man Behind the Testimony that Shook the Church and the World" English | ISBN: 1505116198 | 2020 | 424 pages | EPUB | 496 KB In 2018, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano released an 11-page testimony that rocked the world. In it, he called out the corruption of the Church, especially with regards to its handling of the sexual abuse crisis-addressing most specifically the case of disgraced Cardinal Theodore McCarrick-and stunningly called for the resignation of Pope Francis. And then he was gone . . . at least physically. In these pages, longtime Vatican journalist Robert Moynihan, publisher of Inside the Vatican magazine, brings to bear his vast experience in the corridors of power in Rome as well as his longstanding friendship with Vigano to produce a book that both provides an incisive look at the content of the Testimony itself, but also, through interviews conducted in-person with Vigano at undisclosed locations, a personal look at the man whose conscience compelled him to speak out about the "filth" in which the Church he loves and to which he has given his life, has been mired for years.  Emrah Sahin, "Faithful Encounters: Authorities and American Missionaries in the Ottoman Empire" English | 2018 | ISBN: 0773554610, 0773554629 | PDF | pages: 271 | 14.9 mb By the early twentieth century, there were close to two hundred American missionaries working in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. They came in droves as early as 1830, organizing hundreds of schools, hospitals, printing presses, and seminaries. Until now, the missionaries' sources and perspectives have dominated discussions of this moment in history, but the experiences of the Ottoman authorities are just as, if not more, revealing of an increasingly tense relationship between Christianity and Islam. An enthralling narrative of how locals made sense of American religious activity in the Ottoman Empire, Faithful Encounters examines the relationships between the authorities who managed the empire from the capital city of Istanbul, provincial agents who carried out the capital's orders, and the missionaries who engaged with them. Exploring a wide range of untapped sources ? from imperial ministries, security forces, and local petitions to international reports and missionary collections ? Emrah Sahin traces the interactions of the Ottoman authorities, focusing on the viewpoints and manoeuvres they adopted to monitor and conquer the missionary presence at a time of turbulent public and political upheaval. Offering a comparative context from which to reconsider recent cultural relations in the region, Faithful Encounters is not only a history of Christian and Muslim relations. It is a lesson about a failing mission in a failing empire, with stunning relevance to the looming religious and ethnic crises of today.  Cyril Orji, "Exploring Theological Paradoxes " English | ISBN: 1032274387 | 2022 | 222 pages | PDF | 5 MB This book focuses on the question of theological paradox, exploring what it means and its place in theological method from a Christian perspective. Just as paradoxes are unavoidable in logic and mathematics, paradoxes are inevitable in religious and theological discourses. The chapters in this volume examine a number of cases, including the 'Red Heifer paradox', the 'liar paradox', and the 'paradox of omnipotence', and attention is given to Christian doctrines such as the Trinity and the Incarnation. Arguing for a renewed understanding and appreciation of the role of paradox, this study will be of interest to scholars of theology and the philosophy of religion.
