The Impassioned Life

Reason and Emotion in the Christian Tradition

By: Samuel M. Powell

The Impassioned Life argues that theology’s task today is to rethink the nature of the emotions and their relation to human reason. Such rethinking is necessary because the Christian tradition feels ambivalently about the emotions. Armed with a commitment to body-soul dualism, many writers have equated the image of God with rationality and wondered whether emotion is an essential feature of human nature; however, the tradition has also affirmed the value of emotions such as love and compassion and has sometimes asserted the value of so-called negative emotions such as anger. The question, then, is whether the tradition’s pastoral insight into the importance of moderation and control of the emotions requires us to think dualistically about soul (identified with reason) and body (the seat of emotions). To answer this question, The Impassioned Life explores the vital resources of the Christian theological tradition and also of contemporary scientific and psychological research in order to achieve a more adequate theological understanding of the emotions and reason. At heart, it offers a holistic, integrated vision of the Christian life lived passionately in its full range of human feeling as life in the Spirit.

The Gospel Tradition in the Context of Ancient Oral History

By: Samuel Byrskog

Please note that this title is only available to customers in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. NO salesrights for Rest of World. Samuel Byrskog employs models from the interdisciplinary field of oral history as presented by Paul Thompson, coupled with insights from cultural anthropology, in order to examine the interaction between the present and the past as the gospel tradition evolved. The ancient Greek and Roman historians, with their use of eyewitness testimony as sources to the past and as central elements in interpretive and narrativizing processes of the present, serve as the basis for unraveling culture-specific patterns of oral history, and thus for conceptualizing similar aspects during the development of the gospel tradition. Eyewitness testimonies played a central but varying role in early Christianity. They were transmitted in the matrix of discipleship, where verbal and behavioral traditions were passed on through acts of mimesis. The folkloristic notion of re-oralization explains how oral accounts regularly interacted with written texts, indicating a vivid and engaged relationship to the past as well as the semantic significance of oral communication and performance. Factual truth was essential but inseparable from interpreted truth during the course of investigation, transmission, and composition. The gospel tradition developed through a subtle interaction between the unique historic events of the past and the various circumstances of the present. The narrative and historical dimensions of a text cannot be separated, because the semantic codes of a text are often located in the culture and not in the text itself. The gospels are therefore the synthesis of history and story, intertwining the horizons of the past and of the present in their own right.

Race, Religion, and Identity for America's Newest Jews

By: Helen Kiyong Kim,Noah Samuel Leavitt

In 2010 approximately 15 percent of all new marriages in the United States were between spouses of different racial, ethnic, or religious backgrounds, raising increasingly relevant questions regarding the multicultural identities of new spouses and their offspring. But while new census categories and a growing body of statistics provide data, they tell us little about the inner workings of day-to-day life for such couples and their children. JewAsian is a qualitative examination of the intersection of race, religion, and ethnicity in the increasing number of households that are Jewish American and Asian American. Helen Kiyong Kim and Noah Samuel Leavitt's book explores the larger social dimensions of intermarriages to explain how these particular unions reflect not only the identity of married individuals but also the communities to which they belong. Using in-depth interviews with couples and the children of Jewish American and Asian American marriages, Kim and Leavitt's research sheds much-needed light on the everyday lives of these partnerships and how their children negotiate their own identities in the twenty-first century"--

Theatres of Memory

Past and Present in Contemporary Culture

By: Raphael Samuel

When Theatres of Memory was first published in 1994, it transformed the debate about what is to be considered history and questioned the role of “heritage” that lies at the heart of every Western nation’s obsession with the past. Today, in the age of Downton Abbey and Mad Men, we are once again conjuring historical fictions to make sense of our everyday lives. In this remarkable book, Samuel looks at the many different ways we use the “unofficial knowledge” of the past. Considering such varied areas as the fashion for “retrofitting,” the rise of family history, the joys of collecting old photographs, the allure of reenactment societies and televised adaptations of Dickens, Samuel transforms our understanding of the uses of history. He shows us that history is a living practice, something constantly being reassessed in the world around us.

To whom the majesty of kingship has not been conferred

The Antichrist revealed?

By: Samuel Tuominen

How did Sir Isaac Newton, the most important figure of the Scientific Revolution, believe in literal fulfillment of the biblical prophecies on the end-times? What did he say about the foretold Antichrist? What Paul really taught in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 on the revelation of the man of lawlessness? Will Rapture precede that or vice versa? How and why did Princess Diana think that her husband Charles, the Prince of Wales, was a murderer? How and why did she think that there was a conspiracy against her and that he would murder also her in a staged "car accident"? How does this relate to the biblical prophecies on the foretold Antichrist? Why so many students of the Bible prophecy have taught since the early 1980s that Prince Charles could be actually the foretold Antichrist? To many of us he seems superficially the most unlikely candidate for this role. But is he, in fact, the most likely candidate, based on the number of biblical prophecies on that man what Charles can fulfill more literally than any other presumed Antichrist candiate? How there is hardly any biblical prophecy on that man's foretold attributes that Charles cannot already fulfill one way or another? How has he taken lately a more prominent and visible political role? Why Joe Biden and many other world leaders follow the post-pandemic agenda called "Build Back Better" that Prince Charles launched in January 2020 at Davos together with the founder of World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab? Why does its expert Justin Haskins think it "represents the most significant threat to capitalism and individual liberty in more than a half-century." Why Prince Charles has been compared already with such bloodthirsty tyrants as Pol Pot, like Michael Rubin did in his op-ed in the Washington Examiner, an American conservative news website and weekly magazine? How Charles himself likes to compare himself with the cruel tyrants of the past centuries like Henry VIII? How the Book of Daniel foretold the whole world history of the last twenty-five centuries? How it relates to Prince Charles? Did Daniel see the history of the British Empire and its monarchy? Did he see something epoch-making to happen in 2023? What about the mysterious relic of the Middle Ages, called True Cross? And so much more in this book that one reader characterized as "revolutionary".

Steering the Course

A Memoir

By: Samuel H. S. Hughes

With the frankness and clarity of someone whose life has been lived to the full, Sam Hughes tells the story of that life, from his early years in Victoria, BC – his father was a chief engineer at Canadian Northern Railway – to his many years on the bench in Ontario as a Supreme Court judge. Hughes gives moving details about his life, from his time in England as a child while his father was in action in France during World War I, to time abroad in the army during World War II, to events during his twenty-six-year tenure on the bench. His passion for family and for law shine through his account. Even after retirement, he was still very much involved in the law and was appointed to lead the Royal Commission investigating child abuse at the Mount Cashel Orphanage in Newfoundland. Steering the Course not only documents a life but provides a poignant first-hand account of this century. His recollections of the events and changes that this country has undergone during the last eighty years are a stirring reminder of an important part of our recent past. From the book: "My earliest recollection was of the first daylight air raid on London when my mother and I were living in St John's Wood. I remember the explosions that accompanied the bombing of Selfridge's in Oxford Street and I remember clearly that the taxi from which we were hastily removed had yellow facings on its doors." "On New Year's Day 1944 misery and frustration prevailed. Slit trenches, the natural refuge and even sleeping place for soldiers in combat, were full of water ... George Renison and I took a bottle of Scotch whisky to the command vehicle of the First Brigade ... The bottle, which went only once around the company, was a reminder of the celebrations of other days and its like had not been seen for weeks.
