Privacy
We live more and more of our lives online; we rely on the internet as we work, correspond with friends and loved ones, and go through a multitude of mundane activities like paying bills, streaming videos, reading the news, and listening to music. Without thinking twice, we operate with the understanding that the data that traces these activities will not be abused now or in the future. There is an abstract idea of privacy that we invoke, and, concrete rules about our privacy that we can point to if we are pressed. Nonetheless, too often we are uneasily reminded that our privacy is not invulnerable-the data tracks we leave through our health information, the internet and social media, financi...
Psychological Perspectives on Religious Education
Over the past fifty years the individual differences tradition in psychology has offered rich insights into religious education, as offered within schools, religious communities and households, during childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Leslie J. Francis offers an overview and assessment of this contribution.
Faith and Psychology
"Once seen as a major enemy of faith, psychology is now recognised as a key ally and friend by many Christians. In this clear and challenging book Leslie J. Francis demonstrates how the theory of psychological type can help us to understand better the shape of our personal spirituality, our preferences in public worship and the nature of our religious experience." "Leslie J. Francis offers a careful description of each of the eight components of psychological type (extraversion and introversion, sensing and intuition, feeling and thinking, judging and perceiving), together with a brief test to help you locate your own psychological preferences. He shows how such analysis can lead to greater self-awareness, greater insight into others and into the nature of the God who created men and women in God's own image."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Universes
This volume is a comprehensive collection of critical essays on The Taming of the Shrew, and includes extensive discussions of the play's various printed versions and its theatrical productions. Aspinall has included only those essays that offer the most influential and controversial arguments surrounding the play. The issues discussed include gender, authority, female autonomy and unruliness, courtship and marriage, language and speech, and performance and theatricality.
The End of the World
Are we in imminent danger of extinction? Yes, we probably are, argues John Leslie in his chilling account of the dangers facing the human race as we approach the second millenium. The End of the World is a sobering assessment of the many disasters that scientists have predicted and speculated on as leading to apocalypse. In the first comprehensive survey, potential catastrophes - ranging from deadly diseases to high-energy physics experiments - are explored to help us understand the risks. One of the greatest threats facing humankind, however, is the insurmountable fact that we are a relatively young species, a risk which is at the heart of the 'Doomsday Argument'. This argument, if correct, makes the dangers we face more serious than we could have ever imagined. This more than anything makes the arrogance and ignorance of politicians, and indeed philosophers, so disturbing as they continue to ignore the manifest dangers facing future generations.
Personality, Religion, and Leadership
In Personality, Religion, and Leadership, Christopher F. J. Ross and Leslie J. Francis illustrate how Jungian archetypes can help religious leaders understand and deal with their personal spiritual journeys in times of stress and success and build strong religious communities that contain a diverse array of psychological types.
Preaching
This is a practical book about preaching, written for preachers by two theologians who themselves preach each Sunday. This useful guide is grounded in an innovative and highly original theory about the nature of preaching known as the SIFT method (sensing, intuition, thinking and feeling), which draws together the best of contemporary scholarship about hermeneutics with compelling insights from modern research concerning psychological type. Leslie Francis and Andrew Village provide concrete examples of the SIFT method of biblical hermeneutics and liturgical preaching. This approach releases the gospel message to be proclaimed and to be heard in a full and rounded manner that touches all of the human mind and soul.
Anglican Cathedrals in Modern Life
In the past decade, cathedrals have blossomed as signs of growth for the Anglican Church in England and Wales. They have opened their doors to growing congregations, to widening participation at the major Christian festivals, and to visitors, pilgrims, and tourists on a changing quest for religious experience and for spiritual fulfilment. In this thought-provoking volume Leslie J. Francis' research group presents ten focused empirical studies that illuminate what is really going on in these cathedrals.
