From Sin to Amazing Grace

Discovering the Queer Christ

By: Patrick S. Cheng

Throughout the history of Christianity, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT” or“queer”) people have been condemned as unrepentant sinners who are in dire need of God’s saving grace. As a result of this condemnation, LGBT people have been subjected to great spiritual, emotional and physical abuse and violence. This issue takes on a particular urgency in light of the ongoing harassment and bullying of LGBT young people by their classmates. Cheng argues that people need to be liberated from the traditional legal model of thinking about sin and grace as a violation of divine and natural laws in which grace is understood as the strength to refrain from violating such laws. Rather Cheng proposes a Christological model based upon the theologies of Irenaeus, Bonaventure and Barth, in which sin and grace are defined in terms of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. This book serves as a useful resource for all people who struggle to make sense of the traditional Christian doctrines of sin and grace in the context of the 21st century.

Radical Love

Introduction to Queer Theology

By: Patrick S. Cheng

The first introductory textbook on the subject of queer theology. Contextual theologies have developed from a number of perspectives – including feminist theology, black theology, womanist theology, Latin American liberation theology, and Asian American theology – and a wide variety of academic and general introductions exist to examine each one. However, Radical Love is the first introductory textbook on the subject of queer theology. In this lucid and compelling introduction, Cheng provides a historical survey of how queer theology has developed from the 1950s to today and then explicates the themes of queer theology using the ecumenical creeds as a general framework. Topics include revelation, God, Trinity, creation, Jesus Christ, atonement, sin, grace, Holy Spirit, church, sacraments, and last things, as seen through the lenses of LGBT theologians.

Envisioning Religion, Race, and Asian Americans

By: David K. Yoo,Khyati Y. Joshi

In Envisioning Religion, Race, and Asian Americans, David K. Yoo and Khyati Y. Joshi assemble a wide-ranging and important collection of essays documenting the intersections of race and religion and Asian American communities—a combination so often missing both in the scholarly literature and in public discourse. Issues of religion and race/ethnicity undergird current national debates around immigration, racial profiling, and democratic freedoms, but these issues, as the contributors document, are longstanding ones in the United States. The essays feature dimensions of traditions such as Islam, Hinduism, and Sikhism, as well as how religion engages with topics that include religious affiliation (or lack thereof), the legacy of the Vietnam War, and popular culture. The contributors also address the role of survey data, pedagogy, methodology, and literature that is richly complementary and necessary for understanding the scope and range of the subject of Asian American religions. These essays attest to the vibrancy and diversity of Asian American religions, while at the same time situating these conversations in a scholarly lineage and discourse. This collection will certainly serve as an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and general readers with interests in Asian American religions, ethnic and Asian American studies, religious studies, American studies, and related fields that focus on immigration and race.

Timeless Poetry Anthology

By: Francis S Cheng

▍華人理工博士Francis S Cheng（程聖雄）第一本全英文詩集。▍理工科學家也能寫詩，帶領讀者用理性的筆，寫感性的詩文。 Every child wants to be successful in early life. Yet, very few, even precocious genius, can reach pinnacle at prime of life without a mentor or school education. Thomas Edison, iconic inventor and entrepreneur, was deaf but self assured, inquisitive, paying little attention in class. After twelve weeks of schooling, his mother, a trained teacher, took him home for private education. Edison developed avid reading, writing and mathematics proficiencies to become self–educated electrical engineer and telegrapher. Among 1,093 inventions, his first motion picture camera/film patent gave rise to movie industry. His light bulb invention kindled great hope for replacing flickering lantern with bright, incandescent light, albeit powered with expensive DC battery. Edison never admitted failure: “I have not failed, I just found 10,000 ways”. Nicola Tesla, Edison’s employee for short span, Serbian American engineer, invented AC electric supply system; His novel invention revolutionized efficient power transmission, and mass communications. All successful entrepreneurs, scientists, artists, musicians, educators, philosophers, investors, and politicians had developed their career paths at young ages. They seldom doubted their ability to succeed during school years or at training periods. They were keen in planning future with self-motivation, and hard work with unwavering perseverance. Young people are blessed with talents, dynamic energy, charismatic personality, and high hope for their achievements.

Forest Conservation Policy

A Reference Handbook

By: V. Alaric Sample,Antony S. Cheng

A one-of-a-kind introduction to the major issues and controversies dominating the heated debate over U.S. forest policy today. Forest Conservation Policy: A Reference Handbook chronicles the dramatic history, current status, and global influence of U.S. forest policy. Beginning with the foundations of early forest law during the colonial period through the rise of the Conservation Movement in the wake of 19th century massive forest exploitation, this reference also discusses the environmental challenges that have rewritten recent U.S. forest policy and explores future policy directions. What are the effects of forest destruction on biological diversity? Has the sustainable forest management movement been effective? Given the fact that individual landowners control the greatest share of U.S. forestland, how are forests on private lands regulated? Students and concerned citizens alike will discover answers to these and other critical questions regarding what is left of the nation's dwindling forests.

Decarbonization of Cities in Asia

A Polycentric Approach to Policy, Business and Technology

By: Vincent S. Cheng,Guo-Jun Li

This book provides best practices for decarbonizing cities in East Asia, in which buildings are the major contributor to carbon emissions. Beyond the global commitment through the Paris Agreement to make collective efforts on climate action and accelerated policies, investment and development at the country and city level to combat climate change are occurring at an unprecedented rate. Rapid urbanization and increasing energy demand for large and dense Asian cities require smart and sustainable strategies to balance development with decarbonization. A poly-centric approach is needed, where a combination of policy-, market- and technology-driven changes can aid the transition towards development of carbon neutral cities. With practical examples in the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, green financing, climate action roadmap and policy, deployment of renewable energy, and low- to zero-carbon buildings, readers can find the motivation, considerations and implementation pathways to facilitate the transition into the new normal. It is the hope of the authors to encourage readers to see successful pathways in transitioning into a carbon-free industry and overcoming the effects of climate extremes.

Checklists for Doing Library Research and Reporting

A Concise Guide to the Use of Basic Library Resources and Reference Materials as First-time Researchers in Education and Social Sciences

By: Daniel Chung S. Cheng

Who should do library research and reporting? This book, Checklists for Doing Library Research and Reporting, is written primarily for those beginning college students who are doing library research and reporting for the first time. It has been planned to free the students from uncertainties and to give them confidence in their own assignment by giving them a clear understanding of the basic sources and fundamental principles underlying good research and writing. What this book is all about? The ultimate goal of this guide is to help students become successful and independent college researchers and research writers. To achieve this goal, the best way to learn how is from those source writers cited in this book and what they have said or written about research and academic writing. This book is a road map to scholarly research and writing, a way to reach the ultimate goal. The book of checklist is a result of the author of this book's intensive research and a compilation of other experts' concepts, ideas, and research techniques, aimed at information finding and research writing. Parts 1 5 of this book deals with basic library research techniques, parts 6 9 discuss advanced library research techniques. This book should be useful in the following different ways: (1) it works as a pool of guidelines, methods, and procedures selected from various sources on research and writing not available in a single document; (2) it serves as a resource guide that will allow students to choose and use library materials at their own rate; (3) it works as an information consultant or guardian to the individual who will constantly do library research and reporting; (4) it offers as a supplementary aid that constitutes four books in one: (a) introduction to research, (b) educational research, (c) access to information, and (d) research and report writing; (5) it helps students learn and gain research and writing skills. More importantly, the students can use this guide and checklist alone where no instructor is available. After studying this text checklist, the students will be able to comprehend the information given by the experts in this book and add their own ideas to create the best possible results of their own tasks.
