Christ over All Things
Colossians and Ephesians present some of the highest statements of Christology in the New Testament. How is it that Christ came to be conceived not only as the Savior of humanity but also as the divine Lord over the whole cosmos? While previous scholars have looked to Wisdom traditions and Greco-Roman cosmology to provide background for the Christology of Colossians and Ephesians, James Crockett demonstrates that Jewish royal ideology provides the key conceptual background through which the Christology of these letters was formed. Crockett begins by demonstrating how Jewish literature reveals God’s intent to enact his rule over creation through his enthroned king, a plan which begins with Adam and continues with the promise of the ideal Davidic king. Crockett then shows how Paul utilizes and expands upon Jewish royal ideological themes to portray Christ as the supreme cosmic king through whom God reestablishes cosmic harmony.

Contemporary Thinking on Transdisciplinary Knowledge
How can we understand what a transdisciplinary (TD) approach might actually comprise of, given its complex and various uses? This book asks the question of leading practitioners in the field of higher education and transdisciplinarity. The emergence of transdisciplinarity has been a response to the often-failed closed-system, discipline-based approaches to solving complex social problems (various reports and definitions may be found in projects reported by the OECD, UNESCO and EU). These failures are often contingent upon disaggregated notions of epistemology and the compounding failures of ontological incongruities that are evident in these discipline-based approaches. Such approaches are not necessarily confined to large, seemingly insurmountable social problems, but apply equally well to issues in educational institutions as workplaces. Transdisciplinary knowledge is in the liberation of new and imaginative understanding of the structured reality of open social systems. It gives rise to generative mechanisms, which are central to relationships of agency and structure.

Jacks
Medicine and medical research continue to grow rapidly in complexity alongside the changes in healthcare policy, discoveries, and the regulation and economics of the same. In the midst of these sea changes, patients and their families navigate (or negotiate) the reshaped landscape called the academic medical center or the teaching hospital. These changes create confusion and anxiety for patients and families in crises as the prospects of illness, death, and loss compete against and strain their coping abilities. A man they call Jacks helps patients and families navigate the maze. Jacks serves as a chaplain, and these are some of the stories he lives with the people God places in his care. As one who journeys alongside patients and their loved ones, Jacks embraces and struggles with the questions felt by so many but openly discussed by so few. He authentically strains to understand the circumstances in which people find themselves, without judgment, while controlling his own emotions to the things he witnesses. Jacks does not pretend to have the answers. Jacks understands one thing: compassion can bridge the divides created by crisis.
