Free Download Jeanne Hoeft, "Practicing Care in Rural Congregations and Communities" English | ISBN: 0800699548 | 2013 | 192 pages | EPUB | 353 KB Pastoral care in rural communities is different from care in other locales. Despite these differences, rural churches and communities also hold a particular wisdom from which the rest of the church might benefit. Small towns and rural areas have particular challenges, and in seeking to live out the Christian life in the midst of those challenges, local churches have unique and useful insights into what it means to care for one another.  Free Download John C. Yoder, "Power and Politics in the Book of Judges: Men and Women of Valor" English | ISBN: 1451496427 | 2015 | 192 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Power and Politics in the Book of Judges studies political culture and behavior in premonarchic Israel, focusing on the protagonists in the book of Judges. Although the sixth-century BCE Deuteronomistic editor portrayed them as moral champions and called them judges, the original bardic storytellers and the men and women of valor themselves were preoccupied with the problem of gaining and maintaining political power. These mighty ones were ambitious, at times ruthless; they might be labeled chiefs, strongmen, or even warlords in todays world.  Free Download Knute Edvard Larsen, "Power and Partnership " English | ISBN: 150647750X | 2014 | 160 pages | EPUB | 4 MB The purposes of this book are to focus on faith-based development with a particular emphasis on the question of power, to deal with the dark sides and the positive sides of power and partnership and how the two interact, to present relevant case studies on the topic from some of the world religions, and to publish new material and insights on the interdisciplinary debate on the topic. The book thus aims to fill a vacuum in the general discourse on faith-based development.  Free Download Daniel P. Horan OFM, "Postmodernity and Univocity: A Critical Account of Radical Orthodoxy and John Duns Scotus" English | ISBN: 1451465726 | 2014 | 144 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Nearly twenty-five years ago, John Milbank inaugurated Radical Orthodoxy, one of the most significant and influential theological movements of the last two decades. In Milbanks Theology and Social Theory, he constructed a sweeping theological genealogy of the origins of modernity and the emergence of the secular, counterposed by a robust retrieval of traditional orthodoxy as the critical philosophical and theological mode of being in the postmodern world. That genealogy turns upon a critical pointthe work of John Duns Scotus as the starting point of modernity and progenitor of a raft of philosophical and theological ills that have prevailed since. Milbanks account has been disseminated proliferously through Radical Orthodoxy and even beyond and is largely uncontested in contemporary theology.  Free Download Possessão demoníaca e exorcismo : A história da crença de que o demónio possui as pessoas (Portuguese Edition) by Charles River Editors Portuguese | February 20, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DY35WMV2 | 109 pages | EPUB | 6.27 Mb No século XXI, a maior parte das pessoas associa a ideia da possessão de uma pessoa ou de um local por uma entidade sobrenatural malévola ao mundo medieval e, em particular, à Igreja Católica, mas a verdade é consideravelmente mais estranha. Praticamente todas as culturas humanas que alguma vez existiram falaram de possessão e de exorcismo, um rito ou ritual utilizado para libertar uma pessoa ou um local da possessão. Os termos usados para descrever o processo de possessão e as entidades que se pensa serem responsáveis mudaram ao longo da história, mas a teoria central não mudou. Em certas circunstâncias, diz-se que uma pessoa, um lugar ou um objeto podem ser habitados por uma entidade que vem de outro lugar. O resultado é geralmente negativo e, por vezes, até fatal. O único remédio eficaz é o exorcismo, a expulsão da entidade envolvida para o local de onde veio.

Joseph, "Portrait of the Kings: The Davidic Prototype in Deuteronomistic Poetics" English | ISBN: 1451465661 | 2015 | 284 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Much of the scholarship on the book of Kings has focused on questions of the historicity of the events described. Alison L. Joseph turns her attention instead to the literary characterization of Israels kings. By examining the narrative techniques used in the Deuteronomistic History to portray Israels kings, Joseph shows that the Deuteronomist in the days of the Josianic Reform constructed David as a model of adherence to the covenant, and Jeroboam, conversely, as the ideal opposite of David. The redactor further characterized other kings along one or the other of these two models.  Free Download Matthew B. Arbo, "Political Vanity: Adam Ferguson on the Moral Tensions of Early Capitalism" English | ISBN: 1451482752 | 2014 | 200 pages | EPUB | 456 KB Political Vanity aims to illuminate the central debates over the historical, moral, and political legitimacy of market capitalism by engaging central theorists of the Scottish Enlightenment, in particular the philosopher and sociologist Adam Ferguson. Ferguson was a contemporary of philosophers and economists David Hume and Adam Smith, and actively questioned many of the pillars of early capitalism on theological grounds. Namely: conjectural histories used to justify economic liberalization reduction of human action to production and consumption the inevitable tendency of capitalist power to undermine political institutionsFerguson argued that far from equalizing and liberating, the unfettered market left to its own devices takes the form of despot, enslaving civil society in bonds of its own making. His ideas continue to have theological, philosophical, and ethical relevance today.  Free Download Cyril Hovorun, "Political Orthodoxies: The Unorthodoxies of the Church Coerced " English | ISBN: 1506431607 | 2018 | 224 pages | EPUB | 4 MB Dispatches on nationalism and religion  Free Download Political Authority in Burma's Ethnic Minority States: Devolution, Occupation, and Coexistence By Mary Callahan 2007 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 9812304630 | PDF | 1 MB This study examines the enormous variation and complexity that characterize relationships between the national state and locally-based, often non-state actors who negotiate and compete for political authority in Burma's ethnic minority-dominated states along the borders. Three patterns of relationships are explored: devolution by the national state to warlord-like local authorities; occupation by the Burmese military; and coexistence (with varying degrees of cooperation and understanding) among actors from the national state and local stakeholders. Throughout these border states, leaders of the Burmese government's armed forces and of past and currently-active armed opposition forces operate within a context that is neither war nor peace, but instead a kind of post-civil-war, not-quite-peace environment. To understand the complex political arrangements that have arisen in this environment, this monograph employs the concept of "emerging political complex" - a set of adaptive networks that link state and other political authorities to domestic and foreign business concerns (some legal, others illegal), traditional indigenous leaders, religious authorities, overseas refugee and diaspora communities, political party leaders, and nongovernmental organizations. All of these players make rules, extract resources, provide protection, and try to order a moral universe, but none of them are able, or even inclined, to trump the others for monolithic national supremacy. Conflict resolution strategies have to recognize that these emerging political complexes are not simply unfortunate bumps in the road to peace but instead constitute intricate and evolving social systems that may continue to be adapted and sustained. |
