Robert Boyd, "Approaching the World's Religions, Volume 2"
English | ISBN: 1498295975 | 2017 | 260 pages | EPUB | 993 KB
Evangelical theology strives to be evangelical, conservative, and contemporary. In a world in which everyone is ""Christian,"" evangelical theology provides a balanced position between fundamentalism and liberalism. While theological debates within the family will occur, to be evangelical is a breath of fresh air for many. However, we do not live in such a world. We do find ourselves living in a secular, global society. It is secular because no religious organization dictates how we live our lives. It is global for at least two reasons. First, our technology brings us immediately in contact with those faraway places. Second, and of more importance, we can simply step outside our front doors and encounter our neighborhoods that reflect a global pluralism. This raises the question, how shall we then live? The intent of An Evangelical Theology of Religions is to suggest a direction for evangelicals to think about the secular, global society in which they live in a way that is not only conservative but also evangelical and contemporary. The final essay strives to address the evangelical aspect of our tradition that places an emphasis on the Great Commission and the law of love. ""Robert Boyd's twenty years teaching philosophy and world religions and working with religious others in the community has generated a winsome evangelical understanding of other faiths, one that does not compromise scriptural commitments but yet embraces an equally biblical agnosticism regarding certain mysteries that are not meant to be resolved. Approaching the World's Religions insists, as the title suggests, on pressing forward amidst these ambiguities by loving our neighbors of any and no faith and asking the hard questions of life with them."" -Amos Yong, author of Hospitality & the Other: Pentecost, Christian Practices, and the Neighbor ""Boyd provides a helpful overview and a philosophical analysis of various aspects of evangelical theologies of religion. He shows how over the last thirty to forty years evangelicals have come a long way in developing a robust theology in this area, and that there are still important areas that need to be and can be developed. Boyd's work is a welcome addition to this crucial topic."" -Darren Duerksen, Fresno Pacific University Robert Boyd has taught philosophy at Fresno City College since 1996. He took his PhD from the University of Wales at Lampeter. In addition to publishing several books in the field of critical reasoning, he has authored or coauthored a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals. While he has maintained his interest in logic and critical reasoning, much of his current research deals with the study of world religions and the theology of religions.

E. Gary Spitko, "Antigay Bias in Role-Model Occupations"
English | 2016 | pages: 289 | ISBN: 0812248708 | PDF | 2,7 mb
From the first game of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs on April 22, 1876, tens of thousands of men have played professional sports in the Big Four-baseball, basketball, football, and hockey-major professional sports leagues in the United States. Until April 29, 2013, however, when National Basketball Association center Jason Collins came out publicly as gay, not one of those tens of thousands of men had ever come out to the public as gay while an active player on a major league roster. Is it because gay men can't jump (or throw, or catch, or skate)? Or is it more likely that the costs of coming out are too high?

Anglican Church Policy, Eighteenth Century Conflict, and the American Episcopate By Kenneth R. Elliott
2011 | 227 Pages | ISBN: 1433114313 | PDF | 2 MB
Anglican Church Policy, Eighteenth Century Conflict, and the American Episcopate examines how leaders in the Church of England sought to reorganize the colonial church by installing one or two resident bishops at critical moments in the late 1740s, the early 1760s, and the mid 1770s when the British government moved to bring the colonies into closer economic and political alignment with England. Examining Anglican attempts to install bishops into the American colonies within the context of the Anglo-American world provides insight into the difficulties British political and ecclesiastical authorities had in organizing the management of the colonies more efficiently. Although the Church of England sustained wide influence over the population, the failure of the Anglicans' proposal to install bishops into the colonies was symptomatic of the declining influence of the Church on eighteenth century politics. Differing views over political and ecclesiastical authority between the colonists and the Anglicans, and the possibility religious conflict might have on elections, concerned British authorities enough not to act on the Anglicans' proposals for resident bishops for the colonies. The failure also highlights how eighteenth century British government increasingly focused on the political and economic administration of the expanded British Empire rather than its religious administration.

Angels and Earthly Creatures: Preaching, Performance, and Gender in the Later Middle Ages By Claire M. Waters
2004 | 294 Pages | ISBN: 0812237536 | PDF | 16 MB
Texts by, for, and about preachers from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries reveal an intense interest in the preacher's human nature and its intersection with his "angelic" role. Far from simply denigrating embodiment or excluding it from consideration, these works recognize its centrality to the office of preacher and the ways in which preachers, like Christ, needed humanness to make their performance of doctrine effective for their audiences. At the same time, the texts warned of the preacher's susceptibility to the fleshly failings of lust, vainglory, deception, and greed. Preaching's problematic juxtaposition of the earthly and the spiritual made images of women preachers, real and fictional, key to understanding and exploiting the power, as well as the dangers, of the feminized flesh.Addressing the underexamined bodies of the clergy in light of both medieval and modern discussions of female authority and the body of Christ in medieval culture, 'Angels and Earthly Creatures' reinserts women into the history of preaching and brings together discourses that would have been intertwined in the Middle Ages but are often treated separately by scholars. The examination of handbooks for preachers as literary texts also demonstrates their extensive interaction with secular literary traditions, explored here with particular reference to Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'. Through a close and insightful reading of a wide variety of texts and figures, including Hildegard of Bingen, Birgitta of Sweden, and Catherine of Siena, Waters offers an original examination of the preacher's unique role as an intermediary - standing between heaven and earth, between God and people, participating in and responsible to both sides of that divide.

And This Little Piggy Had None: Challenging the Dominant Discourse on Farmed Animals in Children's Picturebooks By Janae Dimick
2018 | 140 Pages | ISBN: 1433152622 | PDF | 1 MB
And This Little Piggy Had None: Challenging the Dominant Discourse on Farmed Animals in Children's Picturebooks is a fascinating critique of how "farm" animals are represented in children's literature. Drawing from the fields of critical animal studies, critical discourse analysis, and animal behavior research, Janae Dimick questions the validity of these representations as environmental, societal, and other negative effects related to factory farming emerge. Questioning the socially constructed categories that humans use to classify which animals are used for consumption and which are meant for companionship, the book works to dismantle the "truth" of what children learn from the informational texts that are read to them in educational and home settings. The first of its kind, this book will make readers question their relationship with nonhuman animals and rethink how language creates narratives that ultimately act to the detriment of humans, nature, and animals. Students studying critical pedagogy, ecolinguistics, ecopedagogy, early childhood literacy, ecocriticism, bioethics, critical animal studies, environmental studies and education, and human-animal studies would benefit from reading this easily accessible text.
