God Beyond Words

Christian Theology and the Spiritual Experiences of People with Profound Intellectual Disabilities

By: Jill Harshaw

*Shortlisted for the Michael Ramsay Prize 2019* In this groundbreaking book, Jill Harshaw explores the spiritual experiences of people with profound intellectual disabilities with regard to their capacity to enjoy life-giving spiritual experiences in their own right. The author expertly argues that our thinking of spiritual life needs to start not with our assumptions about people who are unable to speak for themselves, but with what we can know about God. Stimulating a much-needed discussion, this book explains why we need to respect individuals with profound intellectual disabilities as spiritual persons, and stop seeing them simply as care-receivers or uncomfortable reminders of human vulnerability. Calling for a more critical approach in practical theology, this book invites a deeper, genuinely inter-disciplinary dialogue between new and traditional theological fields, and asks why, after more than 30 years of intellectual disability theology, the impact on church life remains minimal so that debates around the right to basic inclusion continue to dominate. The questions raised in this book not only move the discussion forward, but will spark a change on how the Church approaches inclusiveness.

Guardians of the Celtic Way

The Path to Arthurian Fulfillment

By: Jill Kelly

A channeled overview of the Celtic path of Arthurian fulfillment, a vision of personal and planetary transformation • Gives a detailed explanation and overview of the kingdoms of nature and the devic forces that comprise the Divine Mother's kingdom on Earth • Explains the Celtic calendar and the primary natural forms--animal, stone, tree, flower, plant, and bird--that are activated during the 16-month lunar cycle of emotional growth According to the Celtic Way, all spirit forces and forms of nature are here to teach and support every individual in attaining his or her full wisdom status. In this way Earth can become a land of beloveds who have fully embodied the laws of love in sacred partnerships, each individual cocreating with the divine. This is the Arthurian fulfillment. It is only through meeting our innermost fears--our shadows and dragons--and transforming them into love that we may emerge as divine humans empowered to lift the entire planet closer to this sacred vision of the peaceable kingdom restored. Instructed by the guardians of the Other World, trees, animals, and other Earth spirits, Celtic scholar Jill Kelly outlines the cosmology of Celtic mysticism that orders the Divine Mother's kingdom on Earth and that calls humanity to awaken to its sacred potential. Guardians of the Celtic Way describes the 142 planes of the soul's descent into the separation from the One, explains the Celtic calendar and how the forces of nature interact with earthly cycles to assist us in bringing about spiritual fulfillment, and gently calls us to follow the Celtic path of ascension and establish Heaven on Earth.

How to Find God in Under Five Hours

By: Jill Roberts

Jill Roberts, a retired trial lawyer, goes from weighing evidence in the courtroom to weighing evidence regarding Christianity. She has condensed decades of Bible study into a five-hour read through which you will find God, along with the answers to the only questions that will matter one hundred years from now. After giving the backstory of why Jesus came to Earth in the first place, she makes an airtight case for why this should matter to all of us. If you have ever pondered the meaning of this life or that of the life to come, in this book you will find God, as well as the signposts that will guide you through your journey here and into an indescribably interesting and wondrous eternity. *** “How to Find God in Under Five Hours is a highly-readable journey of the spirit, a seeker’s field guide to understanding Christianity. In these hectic and uncertain times – when we all seem too busy to even read – Jill Roberts has given us a clear and concise road map to solving God’s mysteries.” —John Fusco, Screenwriter of The Shack, Thunderheart and The Highwaymen “A clear and compelling retelling of how God has revealed Himself to any of us who want to find Him. A journey worth taking.” —Dr. Craig Loibner, who served as Pastor of Fellowship North Church for 30+ years. “This book is a tour de force in its brilliant synthesis of the Bible and Jesus. A must-read for any Christ-follower or anyone searching for answers to life’s deepest questions.” —Kim Tapfer, co-author of I Am (Transformed in Him) “Jill takes us on a simple but profound journey through the story of God. With every twist and turn, she draws attention to His never-ending grace and mercy. I was reminded afresh of the unlimited forgiveness and love of a God who refuses to give up on his creation. In this small book, you will discover a big God who is always pursuing you.” —Ash Meaney, West L.A. Campus Pastor, Vintage Church L.A.

Accessible for those without a background in philosophy or theology, Jill Graper Hernandez’s text will be of interest to upper-level undergraduates as well as graduate students and researchers.

Arguing with Aseneth

Gentile Access to Israel's Living God in Jewish Antiquity

Arguing with Aseneth

Gentile Access to Israel's Living God in Jewish Antiquity

By: Jill Hicks-Keeton

Arguing with Aseneth shows how the ancient Jewish romance known as Joseph and Aseneth moves a minor character in Genesis from obscurity to renown, weaving a new story whose main purpose was to intervene in ancient Jewish debates surrounding gentile access to Israel's God. Written in Greco-Roman Egypt around the turn of the era, Joseph and Aseneth combines the genre of the ancient Greek novel with scriptural characters from the story of Joseph as it retells Israel's mythic past to negotiate communal boundaries in its own present. With attention to the ways in which Aseneth's tale "remixes" Genesis, wrestles with Deuteronomic theology, and adopts prophetic visions of the future, Arguing with Aseneth demonstrates that this ancient novel inscribes into Israel's sacred narrative a precedent for gentile inclusion in the people belonging to Israel's God. Aseneth is transformed from material mother of the sons of Joseph to a mediator of God's mercy and life to future penitents, Jew and gentile alike. Yet not all Jewish thinkers in antiquity drew boundary lines the same way or in the same place. Arguing with Aseneth traces, then, not only the way in which Joseph and Aseneth affirms the possibility of gentile incorporation but also ways in which other ancient Jewish thinkers, including the apostle Paul, would have argued back, contesting Joseph and Aseneth's very conclusions or offering alternative, competing strategies of inclusion. With its use of a female protagonist, Joseph and Aseneth offers a distinctive model of gentile incorporation--one that eschews lines of patrilineal descent and undermines ethnicity and genealogy as necessary markers of belonging. Such a reading of this narrative shows us that we need to rethink our accounts of how ancient Jewish thinkers, including our earliest example from the Jesus Movement, negotiated who was in and who was out when it came to the people of Israel's God.

Alfred Jarry, an Imagination in Revolt

By: Jill Fell

The text of the book is supported by more than fifty illustrations. Some are Jarry's own and some are those of contemporaries, such as Aubrey Beardsley, Emile Bernard, Pierre Bonnard, Max Elskamp, Charles Filiger, Paul Gauguin, Gerhard Munthe, Henri Rousseau, and Felix Vallotton. Others relate to an iconic intertext, hitherto unexplored. Alfred Jarry: An Imagination in Revolt sheds light on an underresearched area of fin-de-siecle French culture and art history, establishing Jarry's role as a major figure in the origins of modernism."--Jacket.

Prophetic Aniconic Rhetoric and Its Contribution to the Aniconism Debate

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Divine Image

Prophetic Aniconic Rhetoric and Its Contribution to the Aniconism Debate

By: Jill Middlemas

Although attempts to understand the growth of aniconism focus on the Pentateuchal legal material, scholars increasingly make reference to the prophetic literature to illuminate the debate. Jill Middlemas provides the first comprehensive analysis of the prophets with attention to rhetorical strategies that reflect anti-iconic thought and promote iconoclasm. After illuminating the idol polemics, which is the rhetoric most often associated with aniconism, she draws out how prophecy also exposes a reticence towards cultic symbols and mental images of Yahweh. At the same time the theme of incomparability as well as the use of metaphor and multiple imaging, paradoxically, reveal additional ways to express aniconic belief or the destabilization of a single divine image. Middlemas' analysis of prophetic aniconism sheds new light on interpretations of the most iconic expression in the Old Testament, the imago dei passages in Genesis, where God is said to create humanity in the divine image.

Jesus for Everyone

Not Just Christians

By: Amy-Jill Levine

Why Jesus’s historic and cultural influence makes him fascinating, provocative, and relevant for everyone, not only Christians. Two thousand years after his birth and death, Jesus of Nazareth continues to be of vital interest. Yet much of the scholarship around Jesus focuses on his religious significance. Jesus for Everyone examines his most famous teachings from a fresh perspective, exploring how they have continued to shape ethics and civilization in the West for two millennia. Even for those who reject faith, Jesus’s life and his philosophy are important to study, writes renowned biblical scholar and author Amy-Jill Levine, because of the insights they hold for us today. Poring through scripture, analyzing what historical scholarship has revealed about Jesus’s views on a number of subjects—including women—reveals surprising messages sure to be fascinating to all readers. Placing Jesus of Nazareth within his historical context, Levine brings him vividly into focus and invites everyone from faithful Christians, agnostics, and the most committed nonbelievers to appreciate his lasting impact on the modern world.

Body Language

Offer Your Bodies as Living Sacrifices... holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship" (Rom. 12:1). Did you ever consider an encouraging smile or a pat on the back to be an act of worship? If that's the case, some of our body language can be less than worshipful too -- we speak volumes by rolling our eyes, grimacing, frowning, squinting, or shrugging. In this unique study, Jill Briscoe reveals that there are more ways to communicate God's love than just with words. Book jacket.
