Working Knowledge

Making the Human Sciences from Parsons to Kuhn

By: Joel Isaac

The human sciences in the English-speaking world have been in a state of crisis since the Second World War. The battle between champions of hard-core scientific standards and supporters of a more humanistic, interpretive approach has been fought to a stalemate. Joel Isaac seeks to throw these contemporary disputes into much-needed historical relief. In Working Knowledge he explores how influential thinkers in the twentieth century's middle decades understood the relations among science, knowledge, and the empirical study of human affairs. For a number of these thinkers, questions about what kinds of knowledge the human sciences could produce did not rest on grand ideological gestures toward "science" and "objectivity" but were linked to the ways in which knowledge was created and taught in laboratories and seminar rooms. Isaac places special emphasis on the practical, local manifestations of their complex theoretical ideas. In the case of Percy Williams Bridgman, Talcott Parsons, B. F. Skinner, W. V. O. Quine, and Thomas Kuhn, the institutional milieu in which they constructed their models of scientific practice was Harvard University. Isaac delineates the role the "Harvard complex" played in fostering connections between epistemological discourse and the practice of science. Operating alongside but apart from traditional departments were special seminars, interfaculty discussion groups, and non-professionalized societies and teaching programs that shaped thinking in sociology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, science studies, and management science. In tracing this culture of inquiry in the human sciences, Isaac offers intellectual history at its most expansive.

Jesus and the Holocaust

Reflections on Suffering and Hope

By: Joel Marcus

Jesus was a Jew. Yet nineteen centuries after his death, hatred inspired in part by the long-standing tradition of Christian anti-Judaism played a significant role in the murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust. How are Christians and Jews to deal with this jarring historical incongruity? In Jesus and the Holocaust Joel Marcus—a Jew by birth, a Christian by choice—offers stirring meditations on the relationship between the deaths of six million Jews at the hands of the Nazis and the death of one innocent Jew on the cross. Basing his work on sermons he originally preached on Good Friday 1995, a date that also corresponded with the fifty-year anniversary of the end of the Holocaust, Marcus weaves reflection on Bible passages together with poetry and narratives about the Holocaust. He shows how the hope that Christians have always found hidden in Christ's darkest hour can shed light on one of the most tragic events of our recent history—and vice versa.

Jewish Biblical Legends

Rabbinic Wisdom for Christian Readers

By: Joel S. Allen

This book introduces Christian readers of the Bible to the otherworldly way in which the rabbis of ancient times interpreted sacred texts. You will discover how the rabbis sought to keep their congregations engaged by telling tales, parables about the Bible. Sometimes they made up whole new background stories that do not appear in Scripture but shed light on it. They were gifted storytellers, and sometimes--almost like Doc in Back to the Future--crazy but brilliant inventers. And like Marty McFly, we can climb into this literary DeLorean and speed back to a time when sages saw things in Scripture that we could never see. Their interpretive insights were based upon immense knowledge of what we call the Old Testament. This knowledge they employed to keep the congregations engaged and informed. They may end up doing the same for us if we listen to what they have to teach us.

The Promise to the Patriarchs

By: Joel S. Baden

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Promise to the Patriarchs

By: Joel S. Baden

The promise of land and progeny to the patriarchs-Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-is a central, recurring feature of the Pentateuch. From the beginning of the story of Abraham to the last moment of Moses's life, this promise forms the guiding theological statement for each narrative. Yet literary and historical inquiries ascribe the promise texts to a variety of sources, layers, and redactions, raising questions about how the promise functioned in its original manifestations and how it can be used to understand the formation of the Pentateuch as a whole. Joel S. Baden reexamines the patriarchal promise in its historical and contemporaneous contexts, evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of both final-form and literary-historical approaches to the promise. He pays close attention to the methodologies employed in both documentary and non-documentary analyses and aims to bring source-critical analysis of the promise to bear on the understanding of the canonical text for contemporary readers. The Promise to the Patriarchs addresses the question of how the literary-historical perspective can illuminate and even deepen the theological meaning of the Pentateuch, particularly of the promise at the heart of this central biblical corpus.

The God of Hope

A One-volume Commentary on God?s Promises

By: Dan R. Dick,Dr. Joel F. Drinkard

Everyone experiences feelings of hopelessness, and sometimes those dark feelings seem like they will linger forever. Hopelessness can arise when dealing with family or friends; or perhaps with the loss of a job, the end of a relationship, or the beginning of a tough financial season. In times of great distress, our God brings us comfort, compassion, and of course, hope. The God of Hope guides our hearts, helping us find hope and healing in His word. God’s hope for individuals, humanity, and the world fill the pages of the Bible, and stories of His work in our hearts when hope seems to fail are endless. Full Scripture passages and reflections drawn from every book of the Bible will offer readers a deeper understanding of the hope God offers to us daily. Each author explains the historical and theological aspects of God’s blessings of hope, so we can better apply His Word to every situation. For the reader who needs help seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, The God of Hope is the perfect choice. Features include: Scripture passages and reflections from each book of the Bible Historical, theological, and practical exploration of hope

Understanding Shall Preserve You

Understanding Shall Preserve You

By: Joel Uzoma

Understanding Shall Preserve You The True Steps To Greatness Many Christians nowadays do not really understand God from His Word. Moreover, it's only what we know and understand that should be useful to us. This understanding is not gained easily. There must be a search for it through the Word of God. This is the truth that will help us to comprehend a great deal of God's Kingdom principles and power. We must understand what the Lord wants us to do. Implanting Christ's Word in our hearts and allowing it to be deeply rooted in our souls, is a step towards greatness in life. The Word has the power to renew our minds and establish us according to the Will of God. One of the cardinal principles of the Scripture is that the measure, with which we give, shall be returned to us. Therefore spending quality time to learn and study God's Word, will eventually lead to a proportionate or corresponding reward in knowledge with understanding. King Solomon understood this when he wrote, "For the Lord giveth wisdom; out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding."(Proverbs 2:6). These three elements of truth are the concrete steps to true prosperity that God gives. Perfect understanding of God's principles and walking in His way is our key. Pastor Joel Uzoma writes with deep insight of God's Kingdom principles based on the Word of God. He pastored Churches in Africa before the Lord directed him and his wife to the United States of America. He pastors a Church in Houston, Texas. The Lord blessed his marriage with a son.

A Biblical Theology of Gerassapience

By: Joel A. A. Ajayi

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Biblical Theology of Gerassapience

By: Joel A. A. Ajayi

Ancient cultures, such as that of the Hebrews, commonly associated wisdom with advanced years. In A Biblical Theology of Gerassapience the author investigates the validity of this correlation through an eclectic approach - including linguistic semantic, tradition-historical, and socio-anthropological methods - to pertinent biblical and extra-biblical texts. There are significant variations in the estimation of gerassapience (or «old-age wisdom») in each period of ancient Israel's life - that is, in pre-monarchical, monarchical, and post-monarchical Israel. Throughout this study, appropriate cross-cultural parallels are drawn from the cultures of ancient Israel's neighbors and of modern societies, such as the West African Yoruba tribe. The overall results are bi-dimensional. On the one hand, there are semantic elements of gerassapience, such as the elusiveness of «wisdom» and the mild fluidity of «old age». Both terms have strong contextual affinity with minimal exceptions. Thus, the attribution of wisdom to old age is evident but not absolute in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). On the other hand, gerassapience is depicted as primarily didactic, through direct and indirect instructions and counsels of the elderly, fostering the saging fear-of-Yahweh legacies. On the whole, socio-anthropocentric tendencies of gerassapience (that is, of making old age a repertoire of wisdom) are checked by theological warrants of theosapience (Yahwistic wisdom). Therefore, in the Hebrew Bible, the fear of Yahweh is also the beginning of growing old and wise.

Yet I Loved Jacob

Reclaiming the Biblical Concept of Election

By: Joel S. Kaminsky

God's favor towards some serves God's plan for the larger world. The Bible's affirmation of Israel's divine election is often ignored or even repudiated by contemporary Christians and Jews who are scandalized by the possibility that God might favor one person or group over another. Beginning with the stories of family rivalry in Genesis and in working through a host of other biblical texts, Joel Kaminsky explores the dynamics of election. Why does God favor certain people? How do the chosen and non-chosen interact? And what might these texts teach us about God's intention for the world?

The Composition of the Pentateuch

Renewing the Documentary Hypothesis

By: Joel S. Baden

For well over two centuries the question of the composition of the Pentateuch has been among the most central and hotly debated issues in the field of biblical studies. In this book, Joel Baden presents a fresh and comprehensive argument for the Documentary Hypothesis. Critically engaging both older and more recent scholarship, he fundamentally revises and reorients the classical model of the formation of the Pentateuch. Interweaving historical and methodological chapters with detailed textual case studies, Baden provides a critical introduction to the history of Pentateuchal scholarship, discussions on the most pressing issues in the current debate, and a practical model for the study of the biblical text.

For God So Loved the World

That He Gave His Only Begotten Son

By: Joel D. Hunt

There is a new word surfacing within the landscape of our churches today. That word is "missional." This word "missional," used by authors and trainers within the church community, is intended to promote a renewed sense of awareness for the type of life believers should seek to live every day. While "missional" may be a new term used to describe the Christian lifestyle, it is not a new concept. It began with God. In fact, God Himself is the builder of the missional lifestyle. His mission, the same that He has handed over to Christians today, is people. From the very beginning of time, God's missional walk has been you and me. That missional walk was not without cost and, like our Father in heaven, our missional walk will also have cost. But will our "missional" costs ever be as great as God's? God begins teaching us what His missional cost for us would be, what He was willing to pay, through the lives of Adam and Eve, Abraham, and Isaac. It was His Son, Jesus.

Oriens

A Pilgrimage Through Advent and Christmas 2020

By: Father Joel Sember

Make a life-changing pilgrimage, beginning this Advent. While the world rushes, you'll slow down. While others are distracted, you'll find focus. When everything seems dark, you'll see light. Oriens: a Latin word meaning "rising" and "dawn." Your Oriens journey begins on the First Sunday of Advent and continues until the feast of the Presentation on February 2. Every day, you'll take a step closer to "the dawn from on high." Father Joel Alexander Sember is your guide on an entirely new pilgrimage, one in which you will learn what God is revealing to you, uniquely, through Scripture and prayer. In Oriens: A Pilgrimage Through Advent and Christmas, you'll learn how to pray, or to pray more deeply. Each day you'll read a Scripture passage, receive Father Joel's guidance on how to pray with that passage, and find questions for reflection and journaling. If in years past you have found yourself reaching Christmas only to wonder how you missed Advent, this book will speak to you. If other Advent reflection books have seemed shallow or unfulfilling, this book will open your heart to hearing the voice of God. Welcome, Oriens pilgrim. "Fr. Joel has written a warm and practical guide for our pilgrimage through the liturgical seasons of Advent and Christmas. Derived from his experiences as a pastor, spiritual director, and pilgrim himself, this book will guide all who read it into a deeper friendship with Jesus Christ. During this time of uncertainty and spiritual hunger, this simple yet profound book reminds all of us that God has come to save us and to give us hope." — Bishop David L. Ricken, Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconin "Fr. Joel Sember's Advent resource, Oriens: A Pilgrimage through Advent and Christmas, provides an accessible and practical guide for personal prayer as the Church prepares for and celebrates the birth of Christ. By design, Fr. Sember avoids writing meditations based on the season's Scriptures. Instead, he shares daily encouragement for people who want to encounter the Lord for themselves through the beautiful biblical passages drawn from the Church's liturgy in these weeks. Using the analogy of a walking pilgrimage to describe the annual journey though Advent and Christmas, Fr. Sember fosters the journey of the heart of the Christian, who desires to enter into a deeper personal relationship with the Lord. Fr. Sember's approach in helping people to notice how the Lord is addressing them uniquely will help many people to experience the Lord's presence more deeply in their own lives."—Fr. Jim Rafferty, director of spiritual formation at the Institute for Priestly Formation "A delight to read, Fr. Joel Sember provides an opportunity for our Advent journey to be one grounded in the rhythm of prayer and pilgrimage. With great joy and humility, Fr. Joel combines wisdom from the Scriptures with impactful lessons from his own life. A gem of a book!"—Julianne Stanz, Director of Parish Life and Evangelization, Diocese of Green Bay "The Catholic faithful want to know how to enter into the depths of prayer. They want to go beyond just mealtime, bedtime, and scripted prayers. Fr. Joel Sember teaches methods of prayer for the seasons of Advent and Christmas, allowing all the faithful to take their communication to and with God to the next level." — Fr. Edward Looney, author of A Rosary Litany

S.H.A.E

By: Joel Benton

The earth has grown weary, for it has endured the passing of many dreadful ages. The exact year has slipped out of all knowledge. Several nuclear and biological wars have saturated the soil with toxic chemicals and radiation, causing all living things to suffer. The people remaining on this dismal planet have learned to survive off of very little. Pain and suffering have become commonplace. Over time, one man rose above all others. He became extremely powerful. He was able to feed multitudes of people and supply their every need, easily swaying them into believing that he was their god. He drew a large following of people who longed to worship him. He became known as the Holy Commander. As his power grew stronger, he became increasingly more evil. The worship of any other gods was forbidden, forcing nearly all Spiritual Partisans underground...Then Shae was born.

Cepheus Light

Cepheus Light

By: Omer Golan-Joel,Josh Peters

Cepheus Light is a set of rules for playing classic science fiction games. It includes rules on creating characters, resolving actions, fighting other creatures, and engaging in space battles, generating worlds, handling the risks of interstellar speculative trading, exploring new worlds, and many other activities. While rules-light and designed for fast, action-packed play rather than an accurate simulation of reality, Cepheus Light encompasses a wide variety of rules and materials for building a science-fiction universe and playing in it. Cepheus Light draws its inspiration from old-school science-fiction roleplaying games. It shares a lot of similarities with these games. Material from older rules sets and those created with Cepheus Light, the Cepheus Engine Core, and old-school sci-fi roleplaying games are easily compatible with only a moderate amount of adjustment. The future awaits! Compatible with the Cepheus Engine System Reference Document and other OGL 2D6 Sci Fi games.
