Covenantal Biomedical Ethics for Contemporary Medicine - An Alternative to Principles-Based Ethics - Bok av James J Rusthoven - Häftad

Description:Principles-based biomedical ethics has been a dominant paradigm for the teaching and practice of biomedical ethics for over three decades. Attractive in its conceptual and linguistic simplicity, it has also been criticized for its lack of moral content and justification and its lack of attention to relationships. This book identifies the modernist and postmodernist worldviews and philosophical roots of principlism that ground the moral minimalism of its common morality premise. Building..

A People Heeds Not Scripture - Bok av Jillian L. Ross - Häftad

\\Everyone did what was right in their own eyes.\\ This well-known indictment rumbles across the epilogue of Judges, denouncing God's people as wayward. Yet understanding the source of Israel's degenerative and downward spiral comes from an oft-overlooked declaration: Yahweh is testing Israel's fidelity to the commandments he gave \\by the hand of Moses.\\ By employing covert allusions rather than explicit quotations Judges contrasts the obvious sins of Israel with veiled reminders of the..

Destabilizing the Margins - Bok av Marianne Bjelland Kartzow - Inbunden

Description:In this book Marianne Bjelland Kartzow suggests that ideas taken from recent discussions of multiple identities and intersectionality, combined with insights from memory theory, can renew our engagement with biblical texts. Some marginal early Christian passages, and what the scholarly community has reconstructed of their historical contexts, are encountered, looking for alternative ways these texts can produce meaning. A fresh look at some marginal biblical figures--such as male and..

Cleansing the Cosmos - A Biblical Model for Conceptualizing and Counteracting Evil - Bok av E. Janet Warren - Häftad

Understanding evil spiritual forces is essential for Christian theology, yet discussion is almost always phrased in terms of \spiritual warfare.\ Warfare language is problematic, being dualistic, assigning a high degree of ontology to evil, and poorly applicable to ministry. This unique study proposes a biblically based model as the first alternative to a \spiritual warfare\ framework for dealing with the demonic, thus providing insights for preaching, counseling, and missiology. Warren develops..

In-Between People - Bok av Girma Bekele - Inbunden

In the midst of partial, competing, and often hostile forms of human solidarity, David Bosch challenged the church to be the Alternative Community called to live in the in-between of various opposing socio-political, economic, and ecclesiastical polarities. Girma Bekele explores and renews that call in the context of Ethiopia. Acute poverty and the lingering question of the balance between ethnic distinctiveness and national unity, together constitute a two-edged challenge to Christian identity...

The Death of Jesus and the Politics of Place in the Gospel of John - Bok av Peter Claver Ajer - Inbunden

This book''s findings are rich and intriguing: In his death, Jesus--the chief architect in the production of space in the Christian realm--founds an alternative community that reorders space and creates a new reality for believers. This new community, which dwells in this radical new space, successfully resists the domination of oppressive regimes and mindsets, such as the Roman Empire. Suffering is transformed here. Many recent biblical studies have utilized various methodologies and historical-critical..

Christ and Controversy - Bok av Alan P F Sell - Inbunden

Description:What may happen when Christians take doctrine seriously? One possible answer is that the shape of churchly life \\on the ground\\ can be significantly altered. This pioneering study is both an account of the doctrine of the person of Christ as it has been expounded by the theologians of historic English and Welsh Nonconformity, and an attempt to show that while many Nonconformists held classical orthodox views of the doctrine between 1600 and 2000, others advocated alternative understandings..

Still Letting My People Go - Bok av Jack R Davidson - Inbunden

Eli Washington Caruthers''s unpublished manuscript, American Slavery and the Immediate Duty of Southern Slaveholders, is the arresting and authentic alternative to the nineteenth-century hermeneutics that supported slavery. On the basis of Exodus 10.3--\\Let my people go that they may serve me\\--Caruthers argued that God was acting in history against all slavery. Unlike arguments guided largely by the New Testament, Caruthers believed that the Exodus text was a privileged passage to which all..

Luke-Acts and Empire - Bok - Inbunden

In recent years, scholars have explored anew the interface between the early Christian movements and the Roman Empire. Once thought to be quietistic, the early Christian movements turn out to have been critical of the Empire and significantly counterimperial. This collection of essays in honor of Robert Brawley turns the spotlight on Luke-Acts. The soundings taken here disclose deeper anti-imperial rhetoric than previously thought. In brazen and subtle ways, Luke-Acts displays an alternative realm..

Christian Spirituality and Ethical Life - Bok av Paul S Chung - Inbunden

Christian Spirituality and Ethical Life offers a helpful study of the place of the Spirit in John Calvin's theology. It also discovers a notion of the spiritual life in connection with ethical life. It thus overcomes the prevailing popular pictures about the theology of John Calvin in several significant ways, providing a refreshing alternative to the anemic spirituality so prevalent today. It can be stated confidently that Calvin was a theologian of the Holy Spirit in solidarity with the poor, standing..
