Advancing Models of Mission
Weighing Approaches to Finish the Task Christians have been reflecting on best practices for as long as they have been engaging in missions. Practitioners have developed diverse strategies to promote the spread of the Gospel—such as indigenous church planting, disciple-making movements, community development, dynamically equivalent Bible translations, and chronological Bible storytelling. These models began as creative analyses of the mission endeavor, in light of the current cultural context. As that context shifts, it is also important to critically re-examine these models. Advancing Models of Mission reflects on the missionaries and models of the past and reconsiders current models, all...

Dialogue in Spanish
"Dialogue in Spanish" provides a strong theoretical and empirical foundation for the study of dialogue. This edited collection of twelve original studies contributes to a broad comprehension of dialogue in two general contexts: personal interactions among friends and family; and public speech, such as political debates, medical interviews, court translations and service encounters. The studies, written by authors from Canada, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, the United States and Venezuela, present an in-depth look at issues and elements of dialogue such as irony, narrativity, discourse markers, coherence, conflict and expectations. Background research on dialogue grounds the articles in such areas as discourse analysis, pragmatics, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and linguistics. The book will prove useful to those who study conversational interaction, pragmatics, and discourse analysis as applied to various functions and contexts, and it will be of particular interest to researchers and students of linguistics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, communications and education.
Religion, Zeit und Zukunft
Das Buch beleuchtet den Zusammenhang von Religion, Zeitdiagnose und Zukunftsforschung unter philosophisch-theologischen Voraussetzungen. Theologie wird sich hier den Untersuchungsgegenständen als dialogisch verfasste Handlungswissenschaft nähern. Sie befasst sich kritisch mit den Zielaspekten von Zeitdiagnostik und Futurologie, sowohl im Hinblick auf Moderne und Spätmoderne als auch auf gesellschaftliche Trendfragen und Formate der Zeitgeistgestaltung. In diesen Kontexten soll insbesondere die Perspektive einer kommunikativen Mentalität interkultureller Humanethik orientierende Antworten bieten.
Feminicidio
Violación, tortura, esclavitud sexual, incesto, maltrato fÃsico y emocional, hostigamiento, mutilación genital, operaciones ginecológicas innecesarias, esterilización o maternidad forzadas, mutilaciones en nombre de la belleza... Son múltiples las formas que puede tomar la violencia contra las mujeres y desgraciadamente hay veces que implican la muerte de las mujeres. Entonces hablamos de feminicidio, del asesinato de mujeres por el hecho de ser mujeres. Pero no se trata de un acto puntual, sino que es resultado, por ejemplo, de la cultura putera que tan normal se ve. No se trata de un hecho aislado, ocasional, sino que detrás hay situaciones estructurales de subordinación, dominaciÃ...
An Asset-Based Approach to Advancing Latina Students in STEM
This timely volume challenges the ongoing underrepresentation of Latina women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and highlights resilience as a critical communal response to increasing their representation in degree programs and academic posts. An Asset-Based Approach to Advancing Latina Students in STEM documents the racialized and gendered experiences of Latinas studying and researching in STEM in US colleges, and centers resilience as a critical mechanism in combating deficit narratives. Adopting an asset-based approach, chapters illustrate how Latinas draw on their cultural background as a source of individual and communal strength, and indicate how this cultural...
