ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Yeo, Khiok-Khng, PUBLISHER: Trinity Press International, K.K. Yeo is a promising young voice from Asia whose discernment of the relevance of the gospel to cultures and current socio-political realities in that part of the world is welcome and needed for the West's understanding of the East, and even for the East's understanding of itself. His studies gathered here range from exploration of the philosophical structure of eastern Buddhist cultures to present-day political realities in Malaysia and China. The book is divided into three parts. Part I examines the methods of cross-cultural hermeneutics. Part II represents a dialogue with perennial themes in Chinese culture: Yin and Yang in Genesis and Exodus; the Ming of Tien ("will of God') in Amos and Confucius; the Li and Jen "torah and spirit" in Romans.

Hermeneutical Apprenticeships: Essays, Epigrams, Verse

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Loewen, G. V., PUBLISHER: University Press of America, Interpretation, dialogue, and understanding animate each aspect of life. Hermeneutics is the vehicle for a life-project. One may say that it is our vocation to be interpreters, and that this is a necessary condition for human life. A hermeneutical apprenticeship is one in which the ability to reflect with vigilance upon each of our historical situations without ever completely absolving our loyalty to either the transient, sometimes trivial moment, or the more enduring and sometimes authentic 'spirit of the age, ' pronounces a vocation upon us. This book brings together ten essays and other writings, which address these general themes in diverse but related ways. The critique of the use of interpretation theories in the social sciences, the analysis of some of the figures associated with their advent, and the observation and commentary of the culture of the thinkers and teachers who participate in this work are all necessary facets in the exploration of the dynamic of lived experience and reflective consciousness

Good Game: Christianity and the Culture of Sports

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoffman, Shirl James, PUBLISHER: Baylor University Press, In recent years the United States has seen an influx of Christian athletes and coaches into big-time sports, as well as a heightened importance placed on sports in church programs and enormous platforms for intercollegiate sports at Christian schools and colleges. However, as Shirl Hoffman critiques, a Christian vision of sport remains merely superficialareplete with prayers before free throws and praises after touchdowns but offering little if any alternative vision from the secular sports culture. Far from being the kind of life-affirming, faith-affirming events that they could be, games played in Christian college gymnasiums, for example, too often end up as mockeries of the faith statements given prominence in their mission statements. Here, in this thoughtful, narrative-driven exploration, Hoffman retells numerous fascinating stories from the world of ancient and contemporary sports and draws on the history of the Christian tradition as he seeks to answer the question aWhat would it mean to think Christianly about sport?a

The Constant Gardener

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Le Carre, John, PUBLISHER: Hodder & Stoughton General Division, Now a major motion picture from Fernando Meirelles, the Academy Award-nominated director of "City of God" "The Constant Gardener" is a magnificent exploration of the new world order by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The novel opens in northern Kenya with the gruesome murder of Tessa Quayle--young, beautiful, and dearly beloved to husband Justin. When Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the mystery of her death, what he finds could make him not only a suspect among his own colleagues, but a target for Tessa's killers as well. A master chronicler of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, John le Carre portrays the dark side of unbridled capitalism as only he can. In "The Constant Gardener" he tells a compelling, complex story of a man elevated through tragedy as Justin Quayle--amateur gardener, aging widower, and ineffectual bureaucrat--discovers his own natural resources and the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love.
