Описание:

"'Oman Reborn: Balancing Tradition and Modernization' by Linda Pappas Funsch is a well-documented book on the sultanate that traces the Gulf country's history of independence, its legacy of interaction with diverse cultures and enlightened modern leadership. ... The book illustrates how Sultan Qaboos used his discrete foreign policy to defuse tensions between Washington and Tehran after the Iranian government arrested three Americans in different situations." (Hussein Shehadeh, thearabweekly.com, May, 2018)

"Freelance specialist Funsch, who focuses on the Middle East and, particularly, the Sultanate of Oman, presents a well-organized and detailed analysis of Omani history, culture, and contemporary aspects. ... Keeping in mind the author's very positive and sympathetic perspective, readers will glean much significant information and valuable insight into 'one of a few good news stories to emerge from the Middle East.' Summing Up: Recommended. General and undergraduate collections." (B. Harris Jr., Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)

"Linda Pappas Funsch, in Oman Reborn: Balancing Tradition and Modernization, focuses more on Oman's very recent history. Her historical overview is intended primarily as context for the country's trajectory in recent years, especially since the accession of Sultan Qaboos bin Said in 1970. ... provide excellent overviews and have been meticulously researched, with ample documentation and footnotes, as well as extensive indexes. ... stylistically appealing and present unapologetically positive accounts of the country and its current ruler." (Richard Schmierer, Middle East Policy, Vol. 23 (1), Spring, 2016)

"Pappas-Funsch delightfully provides the reader with an overarching introduction to the country's rich cultural heritage which then sets the grounds for an eloquent explaination of Qaboos's foreign policy ... . By writing this very important book, Pappas-Funsch has indeed succeeded in reaching a larger audience about the uniqueness of Oman within the Arab world and how it truly stands out as one of the few 'good news' stories to emerge from the Middle East in the contemporary era ... ." (Sigurd Neubauer, TheNewArab, alaraby.co.uk, March, 2016)

Описание: The revelatory story of the Bible in Australia, from the convict era to the Mabo land rights campaign, Nick Cave, the Bra Boys and beyond. Thought to be everything from the word of God to a resented imposition, the Bible has been debated, painted, rejected, translated, read, gossiped about, preached, and tattooed. At a time when public discussion of religion is deeply polarised, Meredith Lake reveals the Bible’s dynamic influence in Australia and offers an innovative new perspective on Christianity and its changing role in our society. In the hands of writers, artists, wowsers, Biblebashers, immigrants, suffragists, evangelists, unionists, Indigenous activists and many more – the Bible has played a defining and contested role in Australia. A must-read for sceptics, the curious, the lapsed, the devout, the believer and non-believer.

Описание: This book explores how there is latitude for people to make their own choices and how the chances to assert independence change over time in a Muslim, Arab, tribal culture. The book first gives a brief overview of day-to-day life in the Dhofar region of southern Oman, then focuses on how the traits of self-control and self-respect are linked in the everyday actions of several groups of tribes who speak Gibali (Jibbali, also known as Shari/??eret), a non-written, Modern South Arabian language. Although no work can express the totality of a culture, this text describes how Gibalis are constantly shifting between preserving autonomy and signaling membership in family, tribal, and national communities. The work reflects observations and conclusions from over ten years of research into the history and culture of the Dhofar region along with longstanding, deep involvement with both men and women in the Gibali community.

Описание:

Christianity in the Twentieth Century charts the transformation of one of the world's great religions during an age marked by world wars, genocide, nationalism, decolonization, and powerful ideological currents, many of them hostile to Christianity. Written by a leading scholar of world Christianity, the book traces how Christianity evolved from a religion defined by the culture and politics of Europe to the expanding polycentric and multicultural faith it is today--one whose growing popular support is strongest in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China, and other parts of Asia.

Brian Stanley sheds critical light on themes of central importance for understanding the global contours of modern Christianity, illustrating each one with contrasting case studies, usually taken from different parts of the world. Unlike other books on world Christianity, this one is not a regional survey or chronological narrative, nor does it focus on theology or ecclesiastical institutions. Rather, Stanley provides a history of Christianity as a popular faith experienced and lived by its adherents, telling a compelling and multifaceted story of Christendom's fortunes in Europe, North America, and across the rest of the globe.

Transnational in scope and drawing on the latest scholarship, Christianity in the Twentieth Century demonstrates how Christianity has had less to fear from the onslaughts of secularism than from the readiness of Christians themselves to accommodate their faith to ideologies that privilege racial identity or radical individualism.
