Описание: Christian Science is one of only two indigenous American religions, the other being Mormonism. Yet it has not always been examined seriously within the context of the history of religious ideas and the development of American religious life. Stephen Gottschalk fills this void with an examination of Christian Science's root concepts--the informing vision and the distinctive mission as formulated by its founder, Mary Baker Eddy.
Concentrating on the quarter-century preceding Eddy's death, a period of phenomenal growth for Christian Science, Gottschalk challenges the conventional academic view of the movement as a fringe sect. He finds instead a serious and distinctive, though radical, religious teaching that began to flower just as orthodox Protestantism began to fade. He gives a clear and detailed account of the rancorous controversies between Christian Science and the various mind-cure and occult movements with which it is often associated, and contends that Christian Science appealed to disenchanted Protestants because of its pragmatic quality--a quality that relates it to the mainstream of American culture.

Описание: American Heretics traces the arc of American religious discrimination. Through each religion`s unique history, the book shows that groups from Quakers to Judaism have been subjected to similar persecution.

Автор: Schmalz Gottschalk Название: Engaging South Asian religions : boundaries, appropriations, and resistances ISBN: 1438433239 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781438433233 Издательство: NBN International Цена: 75330.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Focusing on boundaries, appropriations, and resistances involved in Western engagements with South Asian religions, this edited volume considers both the pre- and postcolonial period in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It pays particular attention to contemporary controversies surrounding the study of South Asian religions, including several scholars reflection on the contentious reaction to their own work. Other chapters consider such issues as British colonial epistemologies, the relevance of Hegel for the study of South Asia, the canonization of Francis Xavier, feminist interpretations of the mother of the Buddha, and theological dispute among Muslims in Bangladesh and Pakistan. By using the themes of boundaries, appropriations and resistances, this work offers insight into the dynamics and diversity of Western approaches to South Asian religions, and the indigenous responses to them, that avoids simple active/passive binaries."

Nine Lives To Eternity is one man's true chronicle of cheating death a miraculous twenty-seven times. This inspirational and faith-driven human triumph details the aftermath of the author's many harrowing experiences and mishaps, any of which should have resulted in certain death, yet somehow he was incessantly saved by Guardian Angels.
The numerous near-death experiences accounted for twenty-six fractured bones and rendered the author unconscious on five separate occasions, yet he somehow lived to tell his compelling story. After reading this account, one's view of life, one's apprehension of death and one's belief in angels will never be the same again.
Автор: Petter Gottschalk Название: Investigating Financial Crime: Characteristics of White-Collar Criminals ISBN: 1634825888 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781634825887 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 211200.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book presents descriptions of theories about white-collar crime offenders and offenses. A case study is developed from a sample of 369 white-collar criminals generated by extracting newspaper stories and supplemented by court records. Numerous approaches to white-collar crime are organised and applied to the database. Theories are catalogued and tested against empirical data. The main aim of this book is to present a framework for a general theory of white-collar crime based on a number of sub-theories. Over the years, from research done on white-collar crime, three major characteristics have been attributed. First there is economics, where non-violent acts are committed for financial gain. Next there is organisation, where offenders take advantage of professional authority and power to commit crime. Finally, there is behaviour, where a number of deviant personality traits are often found. Criminal investigation is a procedure or method for reconstructing the past. Its purpose is creating an account of what has happened, how it happened, and who did what to make it happen. Private investigation cases are evaluated based on a number of theories and criteria. The success or failure of a private investigation can be measured at different stages in the process: basis for initiation of investigation, work methodology, investigation results, and investigation consequences. This book presents case studies of private investigation reports by financial crime specialists and fraud examiners.
