Mission in the Way of Paul
What relevance does the Apostle Paul have for the mission of the church in the twenty-first century? By investigating his socioeconomic background, examining his doxological orientation in mission, delineating how and why he shared resources in the first century, and then relating all this to what has been called the contemporary International Partnership Movement, this book demonstrates that when the church engages in cross-cultural mission and ignores Pauline orthopraxy, it places unnecessary obstacles in the path of the missio Dei. Therefore, Mission in the Way of Paul: Biblical Mission for the Church in the Twenty-First Century is pertinent for any course devoted to learning from and implementing biblical models of mission today.
The Art and Craft of Problem Solving
Appealing to everyone from college-level majors to independent learners, The Art and Craft of Problem Solving, 3rd Edition introduces a problem-solving approach to mathematics, as opposed to the traditional exercises approach. The goal of The Art and Craft of Problem Solving is to develop strong problem solving skills, which it achieves by encouraging students to do math rather than just study it. Paul Zeitz draws upon his experience as a coach for the international mathematics Olympiad to give students an enhanced sense of mathematics and the ability to investigate and solve problems.
Governing Utopia
It's time to sit back, relax and escape for awhile as you enjoy visiting an almost magical planet some sixteen light years away. The always fresh air and beautiful weather coupled with a warm and friendly people who enjoy their stress free lives to the fullest certainly are enviable. Throughout this story are commentaries about Earth and the people on it. Maybe it's unfair to compare an alien world with Earth - or is it? Are there things we can learn? These commentaries offer a different point of view and maybe a chance for a dialog between the people of Earth. If nothing else, it will make you think.
The Culture of Craft
Dormer presents a series of lively, clearly argued discussions about the relevance of handicraft in a world whose aesthetics and design are largely determined by technology. The question of computer aided design in craft is also addressed.
Paul's Charismatic Imperatives
Do not quench the Spirit! Strive for spiritual gifts! Walk in the Spirit! In these imperatives, all from the hand of Paul, the apostle regards the success of the Spirit’s work as dependent on human cooperation. Does Paul’s linking of divine power with human agency derive from the influences of his religious background, or is it a product of his own experience and thought? How does Paul think of the interrelation between Spirit and human agency? As the author answers these questions we are given an illuminating view both of the path along which Paul thinks the Spirit draws believers, and of the nature of the Spirit’s activity that Paul expects believers to embrace. This book will be welcomed by scholars and students working in the field of Pauline pneumatology and both scholarly and lay readers interested in the implications of Pauline pneumatology for Pentecostal/Renewal theology and practice.
The Modern Management of Mental Handicap
The aim of this book is to provide parents, staff and others involved with mentally handicapped children and adults with up to-date basic information and advice in their management. Methods of care, treatment and management of a heterogeneous group of people such as the mentally handicapped must of necessity include many disciplines if they are to be given an adequate service. This book is an attempt to bring the knowledge and experience of many people together. The size of the book could have been increased to include more detail on other aspects of the subject but this might easily have diminished its value as a convenient reference to as wide a readership as possible, both professional and non-professional. The contents deal essentially with the needs of the severely mentally handicapped and should have an application in most parts of the world. Much of the information and advice on services, and on treatment and management, is based on the experience of specialists working in the United Kingdom, this now being standard practice in most parts of the world.
A Comprehensive Study Guide to the New Testament
This book was written by compiling notes for a Bible class designed by the author to bring forth the scripture through a simple and understandable level so that everyone can progress their lives through the word of God. It takes the New Testament and breaks it down into a series of five questions per chapter. The unique part is that each question has the answer within itself. E.g., Mt. 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example. Question: What was Joseph not willing to do with Mary? Answer: Joseph was not willing to make her a public example.
Moby-Dick and Melville’s Anti-Slavery Allegory
This book unfurls and examines the anti-slavery allegory at the subtextual core of Herman Melville’s famed novel, Moby-Dick. Brian Pellar points to symbols and allusions in the novel such as the albinism of the famed whale, the “Ship of State” motif, Calhoun’s “cords,” the equator, Jonah, Narcissus, St. Paul, and Thomas Hobbe’s Leviathan. The work contextualizes these devices within a historical discussion of the Compromise of 1850 and subsequently strengthened Fugitive Slave Laws. Drawing on a rich variety of sources such as unpublished papers, letters, reviews, and family memorabilia, the chapters discuss the significance of these laws within Melville’s own life. After clarifying the hidden allegory interconnecting black slaves and black whales, this book carefully sheds the layers of a hidden meaning that will be too convincing to ignore for future readings: Moby-Dick is ultimately a novel that is intimately connected with questions of race, slavery, and the state.
