An efficient, up-to-date, grammar for New Testament Greek.
In light of the dramatic growth and rapid institutionalization of human-animal studies in recent years, it is somewhat surprising that only a small number of publications have proposed practical and theoretical approaches to teaching in this inter- and transdisciplinary field. Featuring eleven original pedagogical interventions from the social sciences and the humanities as well as an epilogue from ecofeminist critic Greta Gaard, the present volume addresses this gap and responds to the demand by both educators and students for pedagogies appropriate for dealing with environmental crises. The theoretical and practical contributions collected here describe new ways of teaching human-animal st...
The Moravians, or Bohemian Brethren, early Protestants who settled in Pennsylvania and North Carolina in the eighteenth century, brought a musical repertoire that included hymns, sacred vocal works accompanied by chamber orchestra, and instrumental music by the best-known European composers of the day. Moravian composers -- mostly pastors and teachers trained in the styles and genres of the Haydn-Mozart era -- crafted thousands of compositions for worship, and copied and collected thousands of instrumental works for recreation and instruction. The book's chapters examine sacred and secular works, both for instruments -- including piano solo -- and for voices. The Music of the Moravian Church...
Wie kaum ein anderer Künstler hat Pierre-Auguste Renoir unser Verständnis von den stimmungsvollen Figurenbildern des Impressionismus geprägt. Sein Gemälde La fin du déjeuner, das sich seit 1910 im Städel Museum in Frankfurt befindet, ist nun Ausgangspunkt für eine weitreichende Auseinandersetzung mit einer für ihn zeitlebens bedeutenden Inspirationsquelle: dem Rokoko. Galt diese Malerei nach der französischen Revolution als frivol und unmoralisch, so erlebte sie im 19. Jahrhundert eine Renaissance und war zu Lebzeiten Renoirs überaus präsent. Dieser umfangreiche Band erscheint anlässlich der großangelegten Ausstellung des Städel Museums und untersucht Renoirs facettenreiche Traditionsverbundenheit ausgehend von erhellenden Gegenüberstellungen seiner Kunst mit Werken des 18. Jahrhunderts sowie von Zeitgenossen.
Deconstruction is hard! Bad views of God and harmful experiences lead many of us to deconstruct. But we’re right to run from the nonsense we’ve been taught and from those who hurt us. God After Deconstruction will not be welcomed by traditionalists. It’s not a book for people who want the status quo or who think conventional theology works. It isn’t for people who just want to tweak a bit what they’ve been taught. Thomas Jay Oord and Tripp Fuller offer an open and relational vision of God. This vision makes sense; it fits our experience; it’s livable. The open and relational view aligns with our deep intuitions about love and freedom. God After Deconstruction is for those deconst...
