Churches must both consider the theology of disability and also become places where people with disabilities lead. Moving beyond paternalistic views of disability, this book encompasses cutting-edge theological ethics as well as practical examples of how church leaders and congregants can foster genuinely inclusive leadership teams.
Poetry gives voice to the human soul, revealing emotions through honest words. These words, in all their simplicity, spoken against silence allow us to bask in the reflection of who we really are. Armed only with my pen, I have painted the internal landscape the body so often forgets to feel. It is in the moments when we walk this landscape that raw emotions are exposed and the hand comes the nearest to self-understanding. An empty canvas captures the ink spilt when body and soul collide. My hope is that through the words I have laid out on paper, you too can explore your own emotions and truly walk the landscape of a soul.
A work of “rigorous intellectual inquiry” critiquing the BDS movement in academia (Jewish Journal). Israel Denial is the first book to offer detailed analyses of the work faculty members have published—individually and collectively—in support of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement; it contrasts their claims with options for promoting peace. The faculty discussed here have devoted a significant part of their professional lives to delegitimizing the Jewish state. While there are beliefs they hold in common—including the conviction that there is nothing good to say about Israel—they also develop distinctive arguments designed to recruit converts to their cause in novel ways. They do so both as writers and as teachers; Israel Denial is the first to give substantial attention to anti-Zionist pedagogy. No effort to understand the BDS movement’s impact on the academy and public policy can be complete without the kind of understanding this book offers.
