A Newcomer S Guide To The Bible

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

A Newcomer's Guide to the Bible serves readers whom other guides to the Bible overlook. Many introductory studies presume that their readers already possess a rudimentary knowledge of the Bible.But today, even the most commonBiblical terms are unfamiliar to broad segments of the population.When people like this develop an interest in Christianity, as mil-lions do, they find that the averageBible class is "over their heads."They also discover that basic reference materials about the Bible may exceed their level of understanding. A Newcomer's Guide to the Bible was written with these very people in mind.

Creative Bible Lessons In Genesis

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Creative Bible Lessons in Genesis follows the work previously done with other studies in the series. What makes this volume different is that it is sensitive to the influence of postmodernism on today’s culture and values, it complements the widespread use of multimedia, and is experiential in approach. With a desire to be relevant, it does not scan Scripture, but intends to be scripturally thorough and accurate, with an understanding that the power of the studies is ultimately found in the biblical text. Because much of what is understood to be "truth" today is arrived to by subjective interpretation, there is a strong but subtle element in the studies that highlights the Imago Dei (image of God) in man. The blueprint of the Trinitarian God in man is, perhaps, the sturdiest bridge between postmodern "experiencisms" and ultimate truth and reality. In order to emphasize these elements, Bible studies include projection games, helps, and visuals. Also, many of the studies are highlighted by a participation which attempts to be close to the text account. There are small group and large group elements that have been developed with the technologically savvy student in mind.Creative Bible Lessons in Genesis follows the lives of various individuals in Genesis. In a world where communication is less face-to-face and more screen to screen, family breakdowns are the norm rather than the exception, and role models often communicate debatable values, an anchor for life can only be found in the God, who does not change. Human nature can only be satisfactorily understood through the image of God in man, and that all behavior, desires, and actions people take are ultimate acts of worship, and desire for God. The return to the Imago Dei in man is the clearest way to present absolute truth to a relative society in that it is able to posit a valid argument for God and faith from an intellectual and logic platform, as well as from a subjective/emotional/experiential platform.

Service Learning Pedagogy

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Service-learning is a powerful method of teaching and learning that has been used effectively for more than two decades. Its efficacy has been researched in a variety of ways and this volume continues to expand that research base. In particular, in this volume, Service-Learning Pedagogy: How Does It Measure Up?, we explore three broad areas of service-learning research and practice that reflect broader discussions of the role of pedagogy in today’s educational reform efforts: Teacher Education, Crossing Boundaries: Deepening Relationships in Service-Learning and New Paradigms/Conceptual Frameworks. Many have called for more rigorous methods when researching service-learning pedagogy. That has been the major impetus for this volume. We seek to generate knowledge regarding service-learning pedagogy, while developing theories about it. We surface some elusive affective characteristics of the pedagogy, which we know has the power to produce transformational learning. To this end, the authors who have contributed to this volume effectively add to the growing body of knowledge in the field and help us get closer to understanding the extent to which service-learning does and does not measure up.

Politics In Theology

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This new volume examines the relationship between religion and politics from a historical perspective. Contributors address specific moments in which political governance intersects with religious ideals in dramatic ways. These moments question the relationship between religious sentiments and political solutions and threaten to reorder the geopolitical landscape. These essays discuss the tensions produced by secularism in an Islamic culture, the influence of Catholic theology in workers’ political movements, and how Hinduism has been transformed by the political process. Also featured are essays that emphasize how civil religion coincides with constitutional order, and how the drama of religious tolerance and legitimization of the power of Christian hierarchy originated in the political power of the Roman emperor. This volume is an interdisciplinary effort from up-and-coming and cutting-edge scholars. Contents include: “Something as Yet Unfinished,” Adam Stauffer; “Carl Schmitt, Leo Strauss, and the Necessity of Political Theology,” Grant N. Havers; “Escape from Theology,” Peter Grosvenor; “The Persistence of Civil Religion in Modern Canada,” John von Heyking; “The Politicization of Hinduism and the Hinduization of Politics,” Jeffery D. Long; “Ontology, Plurality, and Roman Catholic Social Teaching,” Roland Boer; “The Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals and Church-State Conflict,” Mary Sommar; “Thomas Aquinas on Providence, Prudence, and Natural Law,” Christopher S. Morrissey; “The Mystical Body of Christ and French Catholic Action, 1926-1949,” W. Brian Newsome; and “Secularism in Turkey,” Oya Dursun-Ozkanca.
