Deaf Liberation Theology
Following years of theology of deafness based on the premise that Deaf people are simply people who cannot hear, this book breaks new ground. Presenting a new approach to Deaf people, theology and the Church, this book enables Deaf people who see themselves as members of a minority group to formulate their own theology rooted in their own history and culture. Deconstructing the theology and practice of the Church, Hannah Lewis shows how the Church unconsciously oppresses Deaf people through its view of them as people who cannot hear. Lewis reclaims Deaf perspectives on Church history, examines how an essentially visual Deaf culture can relate to the written text of the Bible and asks 'Can Jesus sign?' This book pulls together all these strands to consider how worship can be truly liberating, truly a place for Deaf people to celebrate who they are before God.
The Jazz of the Southwest
They may wear cowboy hats and boots and sing about "faded love," but western swing musicians have always played jazz! From Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys to Asleep at the Wheel, western swing performers have played swing jazz on traditional country instruments, with all of the required elements of jazz, and some of the best solo improvisation ever heard. In this book, Jean A. Boyd explores the origins and development of western swing as a vibrant current in the mainstream of jazz. She focuses in particular on the performers who made the music, drawing on personal interviews with some fifty living western swing musicians. From pioneers such as Cliff Bruner and Eldon Shamblin to current perf...
The Queer Cultures of 1930s Prose
Offering a radical reassessment of 1930s British literature, this volume questions the temporal limits of the literary decade, and broadens the scope of queer literary studies to consider literary-historical responses to a variety of behaviours encompassed by the term ‘queer’ in its many senses. Whilst it is informed by the history of sexuality in twentieth-century Europe, it is also profoundly concerned with what Christopher Isherwood termed ‘the market value of the Odd.’ Drawing, for its methodology, on the work of Raymond Williams, it traces the impact of the Great War on the development of language, examining the use of ten ‘keywords’ in the prose of Christopher Isherwood, Evelyn Waugh and Patrick Hamilton, and that of their respective literary milieux, in order to establish how queer lives and modern sub-cultural identities were forged collaboratively within the fictional realm. By utilizing contemporary perspectives on performativity in conjunction with detailed close readings it repositions these authors as self-conscious agents actively producing their own queer masculinities through calculated acts of linguistic transgression.
Kathy's Way
Kathy's Way is a brief telling of the way one person can affect many, very many people. My wife of three months less than fifty years was capable of accomplishing the extraordinary. She did so by finding the substance in the simple every day. Her quiet attention to the person, place, and event embraced and elevated those around her. Kathy's way of doing this was to know the person and let them shine. She did this by participating in their lives, dreams, and goals. What was important to another was important to her. Her story is worth knowing. We can learn from her, and we should learn from her as did I, a way of living that is a way of loving. Ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
Miracles at Saint Anne's Shrine
In "Miracles at Saint Anne's Shrine in New York City," Bob Walsh tells the remarkable story of miracles occurring at Saint Anne's shrine located in St. Jean the Baptiste Church on Lexington Avenue and 76th Street in New York City. Saint Anne is the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the grandmother of Jesus Christ. Her story begins in the Holy Land during the time of Christ and continues to present time. Bob Walsh tells us of Saint Anne's life as recorded in ancient history, Catholic Church traditions and from visions by the saints. Several of the miraculous events covered in this book were personally witnessed by Bob Walsh. Few saints enjoy such wide-spread veneration as Saint Anne, so much so, that it is not possible to enumerate all the chapels and churches dedicated to her. Nor is it possible to adequately cover the countless miracles that have been attributed to her intercession over the centuries. And miracles through Saint Anne's intercession continue to occur at her Shrine in St. Jean the Baptiste Church in New York City!
