All Is Forgiven

The Secular Message in American Protestantism

By: Marsha G. Witten

Witten offers an in-depth analysis of preaching on an important New Testament text: the Parable of the Prodigal Son. She finds that the transcendent and awesome God of Luther and Calvin--whose image informed early Protestant visions of the relationship between humans and the divine--has been greatly softened in demeanor in American Protestant churches, with only some resistance from "conservative" traditions.

All Is Forgiven

The Secular Message in American Protestantism

By: Marsha Witten

In recent years mail deliveries have included a new kind of invitation to Protestant Christianity: slick brochures enumerating the social and psychological advantages of church attendance--with no mention whatsoever of spiritual striving, suffering, or faith in God. Does this kind of secularity prevail not only in direct-mail Christianity but also in mainline Protestant churches? Finding the sermon to be the centerpiece of Protestant worship, Marsha Witten looks for the answer to this question in an in-depth analysis of preaching on an important New Testament text: the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Coping with Cancer

DBT Skills to Manage Your Emotions--and Balance Uncertainty with Hope

By: Elizabeth Cohn Stuntz,Marsha M. Linehan

A cancer diagnosis can lead to what feel like impossible questions: How can a person face the fear, sadness, and anger without being paralyzed by them? Is it possible to hold on to hope without being in denial? What is the best way to get needed support? This compassionate book presents dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a proven psychological intervention that Marsha M. Linehan developed specifically for the impossible situations of life--and which she and Elizabeth Cohn Stuntz now apply to the unique challenges of cancer for the first time. Readers learn powerful skills for making difficult treatment decisions, managing overwhelming emotions, speaking up for their needs, tolerating distress, and living meaningfully, even during the darkest days. Every chapter blends professional expertise, personal stories, and the collective wisdom of other cancer patients and survivors"--

Moon, Sun, and Witches

Gender Ideologies and Class in Inca and Colonial Peru

By: Irene Marsha Silverblatt

When the Spanish arrived in Peru in 1532, men of the Inca Umpire worshipped the Sun as Father and their dead kings as ancestor heroes, while women venerated the Moon and her daughters, the Inca queens, as founders of female dynasties. In the pre-Inca period such notions of parallel descent were expressions of complementarity between men and women. Examining the interplay between gender ideologies and political hierarchy, Irene Silverblatt shows how Inca rulers used their Sun and Moon traditions as methods of controlling women and the Andean peoples the Incas conquered. She then explores the process by which the Spaniards employed European male and female imageries to establish their own rule in Peru and to make new inroads on the power of native women, particularly poor peasant women. Harassed economically and abused sexually, Andean women fought back, earning in the process the Spaniards' condemnation as "witches." Fresh from the European witch hunts that damned women for susceptibility to heresy and diabolic influence, Spanish clerics were predisposed to charge politically disruptive poor women with witchcraft. Silverblatt shows that these very accusations provided women with an ideology of rebellion and a method for defending their culture.
