Tento autor sa zameriava na hĺbku teológie, pričom jeho práca často skúma zložité vzťahy medzi vierou a ľudskou skúsenosťou. Jeho akademický prístup je dôkladný a jeho písanie sa vyznačuje jasnosťou a prenikavosťou, čo čitateľom umožňuje preniknúť do podstaty teologických konceptov. Skúma najmä historické a systematické teologické tradície a snaží sa sprístupniť ich myšlienky súčasnému publiku. Jeho cieľom je prepojiť starovekú múdrosť so súčasným myslením a ponúknuť tak obohacujúci pohľad na vieru.
Stonehenge. Šangri-la. Veľkonočný ostrov. Veľký kaňon. Palác Potala v Tibete. Vrch Kilimandžáro. Moderný svet oplýva miestami, ktoré vzbudzujú úžas a sú zahalené tajomstvom. Niektoré vymodelovali mocné sily prírody, iné sú triumfálnymi prejavmi ľudského ducha. Všetky bez rozdielu nás priťahujú akýmsi čarom. Hoci sú mnohé tieto miesta podľa mien dobre známe, skrývajú dosiaľ mnoho tajomstiev. Ako vznikli? Kto ich objavil? Naozaj existujú? Prečo nás napĺňajú takou posvätnou úctou?
Two theology professors explore the doctrine of the incarnation--the central
fact of human history and the greatest mystery of the Christian faith--
highlighting implications for all of Christian theology, including the
atonement and the church's worship.
Between Earth and Empire focuses on the crucial position of humanity at the present moment in Earth History. We have left the Cenozoic, the "new period of life," and are now in the midst of the Necrocene, a period of mass extinction and reversal. It is argued that an effective response to global crisis requires attention to all major spheres of social determination, including the social institutional structure, the social ideology, the social imaginary, and the social ethos. In this wide-ranging and ruthlessly compassionate critique, John P. Clark explores examples of significant progress in this direction, including the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, the Democratic Autonomy Movement in Rojava, indigenous movements in defense of the commons, the solidarity economy movement, and efforts to create liberated base communities and affinity groups within anarchism and other radical social movements. In the end, the book presents a vision of hope for social and ecological regeneration through the rebirth of a libertarian and communitarian social imaginary, and the flourishing of a free cooperative community globally.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Zion National Park in 1920, the narrative follows six pioneering female students from the University of Utah as they embark on an adventurous exploration. Blending fashion with a travelogue, the book serves as a vibrant visual documentation of their journey, capturing both their experiences and the cultural significance of their visit as the park's first official tourists. It highlights the intersection of women's history and the natural beauty of Utah.
From the Publisher: "The Deaf poet is no oxymoron," declares editor John Lee Clark in his introduction to Deaf American Poetry: An Anthology. The 95 poems by 35 Deaf American poets in this volume more than confirm his point. From James Nack's early metered narrative poem "The Minstrel Boy" to the free association of Kristi Merriweather's contemporary "It Was His Movin' Hands Be Tellin' Me," these Deaf poets display mastery of all forms prevalent during the past two centuries. Beyond that, E. Lynn Jacobowitz's "In Memoriam: Stephen Michael Ryan" exemplifies a form unique to Deaf American poets, the transliteration of verse originally created in American Sign Language. This anthology showcases for the first time the best works of Deaf poets throughout the nation's history-John R. Burnet, Laura C. Redden, George M. Teegarden, Agatha Tiegel Hanson, Loy E. Golladay, Robert F. Panara, Mervin D. Garretson, Clayton Valli, Willy Conley, Raymond Luczak, Christopher Jon Heuer, Pamela Wright-Meinhardt, and many others. Each of their poems reflects the sensibilities of their times, and the progression of their work marks the changes that deaf Americans have witnessed through the years. In "The Mute's Lament," John Carlin mourns the wonderful things that he cannot hear, and looks forward to heaven where "replete with purest joys/My ears shall be unsealed, and I shall hear." In sharp contrast, Mary Toles Peet, who benefitted from being taught by Deaf teachers, wrote "Thoughts on Music" with an entirely different attitude. She concludes her account of the purported beauty of music with the realization that "the music of my inward ear/Brings joy far more intense." Clark tracks these subtle shifts in awareness through telling, brief biographies of each poet. By doing so, he reveals in Deaf American Poetry how "the work of Deaf poets serves as a prism through which Deaf people can know themselves better and through which the rest of the world can see life in a new light."
Since the appearance of the first commercially available metal detectors in
the 1960s, the hobby of metal detecting has developed rapidly and, as the
technology has improved, more and more people have become metal detectorists.
Asssuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this book offers a thorough introduction to phonetics and phonology. It is unusually comprehensive, including detailed attention to articulatory and acoustic phonetics as well as to the foundations of phonological analysis. The second edition of this hughly successful textbook incorporates several improvements: a completely new chapter on speech perception has been added, the material on anaotomy and physiology has been rearranged and much of the detail placed later in the book to make it less demanding on readers, and the entire text has been edited to help bring it up to date.
