Embrace time as a gift--not an obstacle Receiving the Day invites us to open the gift of time, to dwell in the freedom to rest and worship that God intends for us and for all creatures. In this book, Dorothy C. Bass shows how Christian practices for rest and worship continually welcome us into a way of life attuned to the love of God, neighbor, earth, and self. Bass does not aim to provide clear instructions for creating a schedule that solves all our puzzles about how to live in time. Rather, convinced that Christian faith bears great wisdom about time, Bass offers an account of the weekly practice of keeping sabbath, along with other practices by which Christians have sought to live faithfully in time. These practices have been lived by diverse communities of faith across centuries and cultures. Through them, we can learn to dwell more graciously, attentively, and faithfully within the hours and days we have. We can also learn to share the gift of time gladly and gratefully with others, in and for this world God loves.

Research on government institutions is one of the most exciting intellectual areas in political science and policy studies today. Increasingly it is recognized by scholars in these fields that effective and legitimate policies depend on the design and maintenance of complex institutional arrangements. This book brings together some of the leading scholars in institutional research in The Netherlands. Their work addresses such perennially difficult questions in institutional research such as: How do we understand institutional change? How do we measure the effects of institutions on societal sectors and public policy? How do the normative foundations of government institutions influence their...

Um Verletzbarkeit als Moment der conditio humana systematisch zu erschließen, befasst sich die Autorin mit unterschiedlichen Bedeutungsdimensionen von Verletzbarkeit: mit sprachlicher und mit körperlich-leiblicher Verletzbarkeit sowie mit Verletzbarkeit vor dem Hintergrund unterschiedlicher sozialer Differenzkategorien. Verletzbarkeit erweist sich dabei nicht allein als Bedingung der Möglichkeit von Gewalt, sondern eröffnet allererst Möglichkeitshorizonte, in denen wir handelnd agieren können. Im Sinne einer dekonstruktiven Perspektive wird somit auch der Begriff der Verletzbarkeit verschoben und es wird die Relevanz der Auseinandersetzung mit Verletzbarkeit für den pädagogischen Diskurs herausgestellt.
