The Bourgeois Century

By: Roger Magraw

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In this lively and stimulating study, Roger Magraw examines how the 19th-century French bourgeoisie struggled and eventually succeeded in consolidating the gains it made in 1789. The book describes the attempts of the bourgeoisie to remold France in its own image and its strategy for overcoming the resistance from the old aristocratic and clerical elites and the popular classes. Incorporating the most recent research on religion and anticlericalism, the development of the economy, the role of women in society, and the educational system, this work is the first to draw extensively on the new social history in its interpretation of events in 19th-century France.

Spirit Scripture and Theology

By: Roger Stronstad

Spirit Scripture and Theology

By: Roger Stronstad

This new edition Spirit Scripture and Theology, originally published by APTS Press in 1995, is presented here again with a new chapter on prophecy. Thanks to digital technology that was not available then, this valuable book can now be made available to a much broader audience. This book develops in greater measure the ideas that Roger set forth in his well received book, The Charismatic Theology of St. Luke (1984). Those ideas include Luke's theological purpose, the theological significance of biblical narrative; and the vocational nature of the Spirit's empowering in the Lukan corpus. He also discusses the unity and diversity within the New Testament, especially the ways in which the Lukan, Johannine and Pauline corpuses contribute to a holistic theology of the Spirit. Luke's distinctive pnuematology on service is also featured in comparison the pnuematologies of John and Paul. Finally, he concludes this new edition with a new chapter on the Rebirth of Prophecy. This book is yet another reason why Roger Stronstad must rightly be regarded one of the most influencal Pentecostal scholars of our generation.

Not by Faith Alone

Religion, Law, and Adolescence

Not by Faith Alone

Religion, Law, and Adolescence

By: Roger J.R. Levesque

Teens are often seen as challenging social mores. They are frequently perceived to engage in activities considered by adults to be immoral, including sexual behavior, delinquent activities, and low-level forms of violence. Yet the vast majority report surprisingly high levels of religiosity. Ninety-five percent of American teens aged 13-17 believe in God or a universal spirit, and 76% believe that God observes their actions and rewards or punishes them. Nearly half engage in religious practices, such as praying alone or attending church or synagogue services. Adolescents' religious beliefs are clearly important to them. Yet, the law does not know how to approach adolescents' religious rights and needs. In Not by Faith Alone, Roger J. R. Levesque argues that teens' search for meaning does not always serve adolescents or society well. Religious doctrines and institutions are not all "good," with violence linked to religious beliefs, for example—particularly racial/ethnic and sexual orientation harassment—becoming an increasing concern. Not by Faith Alone is the first attempt to integrate research on the place of religion in adolescent development and to discuss the relevance of that research for policies and laws which regulate religion in their lives. Levesque asks how religion, broadly defined, influences the development of teens' inner moral compasses, and how we can ensure that religion and the apparent need for "religious" activity lead to positive outcomes for individual adolescents and for society.

Progress and Problems in Atmospheric Chemistry

By: John Roger Barker

Atmospheric chemistry is central to understanding global changes ? ozone depletion, appearance of the polar ozone holes, and compositional changes which worsen the greenhouse effect. Because of its importance, work is progressing on many fronts.This volume emphasizes the troposhere and stratosphere and has chapters on gas phase, condensed phase, and heterogeneous chemistry. Present progress is emphasized, and important future directions are also described.This book fills a need not satisfied by any others and will be popular for some years to come. It informs students and newcomers to the field of the many facets of atmospheric chemistry and can be used as a text for advanced students. It is also a valuable desk reference summarizing activities by quite a number of the most active research groups.Chapter 18 by Kolb et al. on heterogeneous chemistry is especially noteworthy because it represents a unique joint effort by several groups working on a very timely subject; they describe a conceptual framework and establish conventions which will be standard in future papers on this subject.

How Sweet it was

Television : a Pictorial Commentary

By: Arthur Shulman,Roger Youman

One can obtain as many opinions about television as there are people with eyes. No two people see it in exactly the same way. You may not be aware of it, but up there, in that compartment of your brain where memories are stored, all sorts of strange images are stockpiled. The purpose of this book is to coax those memories out of their hiding places and bring them front and center, where you can savor them anew. Although this book is intended to be a comprehensive review of television during the past twenty years-the two decades that have passed since the medium became a commercial reality- it is not to be just a scholarly history. The programs and people represented here were chosen not because they were "good" or "popular" or "successful," but because each contributed, in some large or small way, to the progress of television.

An Encyclopedia of Issues, Viewpoints, and Voices

By: Roger Chapman

Featuring hundreds of A-Z entries and numerous photos, the set examines the history and relevance of the issues, events, controversies, personalities, groups, and concepts that have contributed to the political and social polarization of American society over recent decades. It details hot-button topics as well as the role of the media in defining and shaping these issues--everything from abortion, the Christian Coalition, the environmental movement, feminism, and gay rights, to illegal aliens, pornography, stem-cell research, Watergate, and zero tolerance.
