What Believers Don't Have to Believe - Craig Payne - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

What Believers Don't Have to Believe - Craig Payne - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Many books set out the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, the teachings regarded as essential to orthodox Christianity. However, can one be a faithful, biblical Christian and completely disagree with the doctrines that other biblical Christians regard as crucial? How much is one required to believe to maintain Christian orthodoxy, and how much is one not required to believe? Christians often seem to use various doctrines as "litmus tests" to gauge the maturity and spirituality of fellow Christians. In What Believers Don''t Have to Believe, author Craig Payne uses evidence from the Creeds, Christian history, the scriptures, and philosophy to argue for the invalidity of these "litmus tests." In particular, this book focuses on five areas of disagreement: creation, biblical inerrancy, human nature, Christian political involvement, and eschatology. In each of these areas there are equally biblical, logical, and faithful interpretive stances. What Believers Don''t Have to Believe ultimately argues that these disagreements are non-essential and unnecessary, and should be set aside in favor of confessional unity.

Peirce and Theology - Donald L. Gelpi - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Peirce and Theology - Donald L. Gelpi - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The author of this study invokes Peirce''s logic in order to clarify the operational procedures of dialectic, foundational, and doctrinal theology. He argues that Peirce''s theory of the normative sciences casts light on three forms of conversion: affective, intellectual, and moral conversion. From a normative account of the dynamics of five forms of conversion, he derives specific criteria for authenticating and calling into question both doctrinal statements about the content of religious faith and different theories of theological method. The third and final chapter tests the adequacy of the suggested criteria by applying them to the symbolic Christology of Roger Haight.

Toward a Sociological Imagination - Bernard Phillips - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Toward a Sociological Imagination - Bernard Phillips - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Toward A Sociological Imagination builds on the ideas C. Wright Mills expressed in The Sociological Imagination for an approach to the scientific method broad enough to open up to the full range of knowledge within the sociology discipline. In this book, nine sociologists and one philosopher provide detailed tests of the utility of the approach within diverse substantive sociological areas. These areas include, deviance and anomie, stratification and occupational mobility, the origins of capitalism, combining narrative sociology with modeling, racial and ethnic relations, unacknowledged emotions within the psychiatric interview, the genesis of violence, and the impact of moving from a vernacular to a theoretical approach to language.

Personal Teaching - J. T. Dillon - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Personal Teaching - J. T. Dillon - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The "personal" approach to teaching recounts one teacher''s success in leaving behind traditional teaching and engaging the person of both the teacher and the student in the educative process. The personal teaching style is described in very practical terms as it touches upon such topics as grades, tests, assignments, discipline, subjects, class activities and teacher-student relationships. Over one hundred students assess the impact of this style on their personal lives and learning and in summation the author draws lessons for teaching and learning. Originally published in 1971 by Charles E. Merrill Publishing Company, this edition contains a new preface by the author.

Spanish Syllable Structure - Karen Guffey - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Spanish Syllable Structure - Karen Guffey - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The syllable is probably the most easily identifiable of all phonological units. Although a few scholars have questioned its existence, the real question involves its construction. Spanish Syllable Structure tests the four most popular theories surrounding the syllable by examining its development from Latin into modern dialects of Spanish. At the end of each dialect section (Mexican, Tudancan, Colombian, and Dominican) is a chart that indicates what percentage of the data in that section supports each of the four theories under consideration. Also included is an explanation of how words are divided into syllables and a list of 300 Latin words and their Spanish reflexes.

Animal Minds, Animal Souls, Animal Rights - James V. Parker - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Animal Minds, Animal Souls, Animal Rights - James V. Parker - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Animal Minds, Animal Souls, Animal Rights explores the thinking of philosophers and theologians about controversies concerning animal consciousness and animal rights. The book presents Bernard Lonergan''s theory about consciousness and the operations of the mind-a theory about two types of knowing and desiring: one shared by humans and animals, and the other, which depends on the activity of asking questions, possessed by humans alone. The author tests this theory against present-day research with apes, and examines religious claims, historical and current, about animals. Animal Minds, Animal Souls, Animal Rights concludes by laying a philosophical and theological foundation for a contemporary ethic in which humans are obligated to exercise intelligent stewardship and ensure the compassionate treatment of animals.

Sir Gawain and the Knight of the Green Chapel - Norman Simms - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Sir Gawain and the Knight of the Green Chapel - Norman Simms - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Although the Middle English poem known as ''Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'' is assumed to be a kind of comic or satirical romance deriving from the Christian courts of England in the fourteenth century, several strange features suggest a different origin and generic categorization. Renaming it Sir Gawain and the Knight of the Green Chapel initiates the defamiliarization process. This book argues that the poet and his or her milieu belong to the small and confused converso community left behind after the Jewish expulsions at the end of the thirteenth century and still wondering who they were and what their place in society might be. Such a perspective may help explain why the goal of the young Sir Gawain is not only not green or even a chapel, but also why he arrives in the Castle of Hautdesert and undergoes a totally unexpected series of ordeals and tests.

The Education of Sam Sanders - T. S. Poetter - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Education of Sam Sanders - T. S. Poetter - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Set in 2029, The Education of Sam Sanders tells the story of an 8th grader searching for meaning in his school experiences. In a public school system beset by the finality and rigidity of standardized tests and curriculums, Sam Sanders, with the help of his teacher and mother, defies the system and creates something new: a curriculum that enlightens rather than categorizes students. In this hopeful yet frightening look at an educational future not too far from our own, we encounter the high cost of inquiry-oriented learning and the even higher cost of a system that suppresses it. The Education of Sam Sanders is a valuable book for young adults in schools, students of teaching, teachers, and parents/citizens concerned by current trends in public education. This inspiring work offers a unique and in-depth analysis of the high stakes testing and standardization movements and surfaces ideas for how we might change our current direction.

Covenant and Communication - Hak Joon Lee - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Covenant and Communication - Hak Joon Lee - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In dialogue with Jürgen Habermas''s communicative ethics, Covenant and Communication constructively explores a covenantal-communicative model of Christian ethics. Hak Joon Lee analyzes themes of freedom, equality, and reciprocity in Habermas''s theory of communication from the perspective of Reformed Christian doctrines of covenant and the Trinity. This reconstruction of Christian ethics based upon communicative rationality has profound implications for the reinterpretation of Christianity and its relationship with liberal political institutions. It offers fresh perspectives on important Christian theological concepts, such as divine economy, church, communion, conscience, law and gospel, and the social sphere. A communicative ethics rooted in a rich Christian spiritual tradition provides new energies for the kind of revitalization of democracy and human rights advocated by Habermas against the colonizing power of money and bureaucracy. This work tests its plausibility in dialogue with contemporary theories of Christian ethics, such as narrative ethics, Catholic human rights theory, and liberation ethics.

QGE=A - Win Straube - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

QGE=A - Win Straube - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Win Straube, the founder and managing trustee of The Straube Foundation, presents a new form of educational system, Quality Generic Education or "QGE," for the purpose of obtaining the best education at the lowest possible cost, universally acceptable and interchangeable. The use of interactive educational materials makes it possible to bring the highest quality educational presentation from the world''s best minds to more people. Thus, the classroom can come to anyone at any place where he or she can be in front of a television or computer, possibly accompanied by an educational "facilitator." Likewise, anyone exposed to QGE presentations will be able to interact with the best educators in the world: asking questions, receiving additional and deeper background information, and taking tests regardless of a teacher being physically present. Different forms of QGE are discussed from the perspective of costs, the user, and what steps must be taken to ensure quality and cost effectiveness.

African Mathematics - Abdul Karim Bangura - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

African Mathematics - Abdul Karim Bangura - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This is the first comprehensive text on African Mathematics that can be used to address some of the problematic issues in this area. These issues include attitudes, curriculum development, educational change, academic achievement, standardized and other tests, performance factors, student characteristics, cross-cultural differences and studies, literacy, native speakers, social class and differences, equal education, teaching methods, knowledge level, educational guidelines and policies, transitional schools, comparative education, other subjects such as physics and social studies, surveys, talent, educational research, teacher education and qualifications, academic standards, teacher effectiveness, lesson plans and modules, teacher characteristics, instructional materials, program effectiveness, program evaluation, African culture, African history, Black studies, class activities, educational games, number systems, cognitive ability, foreign influence, and fundamental concepts. What unifies the chapters in this book can appear rather banal, but many mathematical insights are so obvious and so fundamental that they are difficult to absorb, appreciate, and express with fresh clarity. Some of the more basic insights are isolated by accounts of investigators who have earned their contemporaries' respect. Winner of the 2012 Cecil B. Currey Book Award.

Shame, Images of God and the Cycle of Violence - Jeanette Anderson Good - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Shame, Images of God and the Cycle of Violence - Jeanette Anderson Good - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Theoretically rich and empirically sound, this provocative study demonstrates that shame, a history of childhood corporal punishment, and certain religious beliefs are contributing factors to the cycle of violence that can occur over generations in families. Good begins her study with a thorough survey of the psychological and pastoral literature that deals with issues surrounding shame, corporal punishment, and beliefs about God. She then describes the results of her research that involved having individuals complete questionnaires on childhood punishment, religious practices, and feelings about suicide and depression. These results were then compared with those from tests designed to measure shame, guilt, and violence between adult partners. Good''s research suggests that higher levels of violence and shame correspond with punitive images of God and that childhood corporal punishment may result in a higher incidence of adult depression. This fascinating work provides insight into psychological issues that affect many adults today and will be of interest to anyone who is concerned with healing the wounds of those who suffered through childhood violence.

Lost Documents of Rabbinic Judaism - Jacob Neusner - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Lost Documents of Rabbinic Judaism - Jacob Neusner - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The canonical documents of Rabbinic Judaism impose upon most of their components fixed patterns of rhetoric, recurrent logic of coherent discourse, and a well-defined topic or program, for example, a commentary on a biblical book or on a legal topic. But some few compositions and composites of the Rabbinic canon of late antiquity diverge from the formal norms of the compilations in which they occur. In these pages, Neusner assembles anomalous compositions that occur in the Mishnah, Tosefta, four Tannaite Midrashim, and Genesis Rabbah, and he further tests the uniformity of the forms that govern in a familiar chapter of the Bavli. Neusner''s surveys show for the documents probed here that some small segment of the composites and compositions of the surveyed documents does not conform to the indicative rules of rhetoric, topic, and logic. Consequently, we face the challenge of constructing models of lost documents of the Rabbinic canon, conforming to the models governing anomalous compositions. These follow other topical and rhetorical norms and therefore belong in other, different types of documents from those in which they now are located. These anomalous writings in topic, logic, or rhetoric (or all three) in theory reveal indicative characteristics other than the ones defining the compositions and composites of the documents in which they are now located.

The Program of the Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan A - Jacob Neusner - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Program of the Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan A - Jacob Neusner - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Of the score of documents in the Rabbinic canon that reached closure in late antiquity, the first six centuries of the Common Era, the Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan Text A (Abot de Rabbi Natan, henceforward: ARNA) proves the most difficult to classify in the canonical context. It presents a challenge because it is different in its indicative traits from any other in the Rabbinic documents of its period. In the conclusion, (Chapter Forty-Five), Neusner explains what is at stake for the documentary hypothesis of the Rabbinic canon in that observation. Jacob Neusner follows the procedures that have guided his prior work in situating Rabbinic documents within their formal context and in ordinal sequence in their larger canonical setting. After introducing the two documents compared here, Abot and ARNA, Neusner sets out a prologue explaining the analytical procedure. Then, he takes up a detailed probe of all the evidence and produces a hypothetical category-system of forms. This is exposed through a system of visual indicators, which Neusner defines and explains in the prologue to Part One. Part Two in two chapters follows. The results of Chapter Forty-Four, where Neusner tests the givens of the documentary hypothesis against the facts of ARNA and Abot, yield the concluding chapter, Chapter Forty-Five, where Neusner surveys the results for the entire document to see what rules govern in the context of the documentary hypothesis. These call into question the universal applicability of that hypothesis. There is no documentary program that derives uniquely from ARNA in canonical context.

Postwar Higher Education in America - Richard B. Schwartz - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Postwar Higher Education in America - Richard B. Schwartz - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The twenty million students now pursuing higher education in America are paying more than history, culture and the consumer price index can possibly justify, while the product they are purchasing is one that has become systematically debased. General education has been depreciated, core curricula eroded, expectations (at all levels) reduced. Slightly above half of the currently-enrolled students are graduating and only half of those are finding employment commensurate with what was once understood to be an authentic college education. Many are saddled with crippling debt, a particularly cruel reality for those who are unemployed or underemployed and unable to remove their debts via bankruptcy.Commentators now refer to the college campus as a country club or a daycare facility, one that is populated by a host of counselors, tutors and hand-holders who serve an often unprepared or underprepared student body. Remedial courses are commonplace, even with the systematic reduction of expectations. Among competing nations, international tests place our 15 year-olds no higher than 19th in three critical categories. Many now speak of "K-16 education" as our colleges replicate the atmosphere and behaviors of our grammar and high schools.How did we reach this point? How did the erosion of faculty and curricular authority occur within our institutions of higher learning? What roles were played by the radical students of the 1960s? How did our colleges of education contribute to the problem? How did corporatist administrators replace academic leaders and leverage ideologies to extend bureaucracy, attract and secure tuition dollars at any intellectual cost and create self-serving career paths for individuals running across the cracking ice of ineptitude and a lack of personal commitment?Most important, how can we reverse this process, recapture the relevant strengths of past practices, escape the gray vocationalism we now encounter at every turn and return to principles and standards that can legitimately be termed authentic? How can we save the previously-marginalized students who suffer the most within the current system? These are the questions posed by this book.
