Описание: Evangelical Christianity has traditionally been defined by its belief in the authority of Scripture and its mission to make from all nations disciples of Christ, but it is increasingly being defined by its role in culture wars--we're those who fight evolutionists, fight feminists, fight homosexuals, fight liberals. As the political world polarizes further into right and left, the church is tempted to polarize with it. But as we focus on repelling those influences that threaten to change the church, have we forgotten what it is that gave the church the power to change the world? Turn Neither Right Nor Left is an urgent call for evangelicals to be defined once again by what we fight for, not what we fight against. It looks at what it means to be evangelical as opposed to liberal or fundamentalist, what it means to have a Bible that is inspired by God and yet written by humans, and what it means to be people of the gospel of faith, hope, and love. It discusses the role of doubt, social justice, and unity, and encourages us to fight with the weapons of war that God has given us: peace, love, and reconciliation with God. ""Turn Neither Right Nor Left is a timely reminder that for Christians, the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. Pickering warns us against the danger of labels, echo chambers, and quick judgments; and invites us into a clearer focus on the gospel, as well as calling us to deeper listening as Christian brothers and sisters. In a world of sound bites and quick proof texting, his chapters on the limits and license with which we approach, study, and teach the Bible are invaluable."" --Bronwyn Lea, author and Bible teacher ""Tragically, American evangelicalism is no less polarized than the wider culture, and this makes Jordan Pickering's courageous book essential reading. With theological deftness, Pickering calls us back to our rightful center, Jesus Christ, to a proper understanding of Scripture, and a witness of humility and love. Turn Neither Right Nor Left does what good books should do. It doesn't simply offer answers. It enlivens curiosities."" --Jen Pollock Michel, author of Surprised by Paradox Jordan Pickering is a South African with a decade's worth of lecturing experience, primarily in Old Testament subjects. He now works as a student pastor at a Christian study center serving the campus of the University of Cape Town. He is the author of Troubled Waters: A Fresh Look at Baptism and Why We Argue.

Описание: Neither Donkey nor Horse tells the story of how Chinese medicine was transformed from the antithesis of modernity in the early twentieth century into a potent symbol of and vehicle for China's exploration of its own modernity half a century later. Instead of viewing this transition as derivative of the political history of modern China, Sean Hsiang-lin Lei argues that China's medical history had a life of its own, one that at times directly influenced the ideological struggle over the meaning of China's modernity and the Chinese state. Far from being a remnant of China's premodern past, Chinese medicine in the twentieth century coevolved with Western medicine and the Nationalist state, undergoing a profound transformation--institutionally, epistemologically, and materially--that resulted in the creation of a modern Chinese medicine. This new medicine was derided as "neither donkey nor horse" because it necessarily betrayed both of the parental traditions and therefore was doomed to fail. Yet this hybrid medicine survived, through self-innovation and negotiation, thus challenging the conception of modernity that rejected the possibility of productive crossbreeding between the modern and the traditional. By exploring the production of modern Chinese medicine and China's modernity in tandem, Lei offers both a political history of medicine and a medical history of the Chinese state.

Автор: Nissim-sabat, Marilyn Название: Neither victim nor survivor ISBN: 0739128221 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780739128220 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 196180.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In Neither Victim nor Survivor: Thinking toward a New Humanity, Marilyn Nissim-Sabat offers a comprehensive critique of the interrelated concepts of "victim" and "survivor" as they have been ideologically distorted in Western thought. Framed by the phenomenological perspective of Edmund Husserl, Nissim-Sabat carries out her argument through an intense engagement with current scholarly work on Toni Morrison's Beloved, Sophocles' Antigone, akrasia, psychoanalysis, critical race theory, feminist philosophy of science, and Marxism. Nissim-Sabat ultimately proposes that a new consciousness, enabled by the phenomenological attitude, of the way in which ideological distortion of the concepts of 'victim' and 'survivor' helps to perpetuate victimization will empower us to find ways to end victimization and its anti-human consequences. The book's interdisciplinary approach will make it appealing to a broad range of students and scholars alike.
