At the Cross with Jesus

At the Cross with Jesus

Carl B Rife; Harold D Shaffer

CSS Publishing Company
2001
pokkari
By combining a compelling sermon series with an insightful group of monologues, At The Cross With Jesus offers flexible, effective resources that will keep the cross central in your congregation's minds and hearts during Lent. Practical for use in any church, large or small, the material in At The Cross With Jesus is perfect for midweek worship or Holy Week services, and could also be used for a Bible study. The five moving messages in The Symbols Of The Cross examine Jesus' final days by focusing on powerful images from the Passion story. Each homily relates these events to our everyday lives by exploring a specific symbol and the human characteristic it exemplifies. There are also directions for creating a searing memory of these symbols by placing visual representations of each image on a wooden cross. Symbols included are: - The Palms (a symbol of our fickleness) - The Money Bag (a symbol of our greed) - The Towel (a symbol of servanthood) - The Crown of Thorns (a symbol of mockery) - The Nails of the Cross (a symbol of suffering) In Five Who Knew Jesus, five persons who were intimately acquainted with Jesus describe their personal relationships with him. Through hearing the perspective of those who played critical roles in Jesus' life, we are encouraged to look more closely at our own relationships with Christ during the introspective season of Lent. The monologues may be performed in readers' theater format, but are even more effective if memorized. Few props are required, and costumes are a nice touch but not essential. Characters represented are: - John -- a hot-tempered man who becomes the disciple of love - Mary, the mother of Jesus -- a woman who suffers a mother's pain while humbly accepting God's will - Peter -- an arrogant man who becomes a humble disciple - Judas -- the disciple who failed because he thought he knew best - Mary Magdalene -- a woman of the world who strives to love herself as Jesus loved her Carl B. Rife has pastored United Methodist congregations throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania for more than 30 years. His sermons and worship resources have appeared in several CSS publications, and he is the author of Bumper Sticker Religion (CSS). Harold D. Shaffer, an active member of St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Arbutus, Maryland, is a licensed clinical counselor who currently serves on the staff of an addictions clinic in Catonsville, Maryland. Shaffer is also on the adjunct faculty of Baltimore City Community College and the Maryland Office of Education and Training for Addiction Services (OETAS).

Paranormal Experience and Survival of Death

Paranormal Experience and Survival of Death

Carl B. Becker

State University of New York Press
1993
pokkari
Paranormal Experience and Survival of Death amasses data and surveys from a century of research on the paranormal on four continents: Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Studying the tensions between religious and scientific perspectives, Becker reviews numerous substantiated accounts of demon-possession, of memories of past lives, of ghostly apparitions, and out-of-body experiences. He analyzes the medical evidence and what such experiences imply about survival after death. The author then looks at the reasons for the taboos on scientific discussion of such research within the social sciences, and proposes a new paradigm for a more holistic view of the field.

The Idea of Police

The Idea of Police

Carl B. Klockars

SAGE Publications Inc
1985
nidottu
What is the best way to define the police? Why do we have police at all? In modern democracies like the United States and Great Britain, why is most policing done by employees of the state? What is the relationship between police and the law? What makes a good police officer? In addressing these questions, Klockars makes the reader look at the idea of police from a new perspective. First he explains how any definition of police must include the reality of coercive force--the fact that police officers everywhere have the right to "forcibly compel other people to do something." Next he describes the evolution of the police in the United States vis-a-vis the police in Great Britain. After exploring the role of the detective, he highlights the moral conflicts and issues of discretion that police officers face daily. Finally, Klockars examines what makes a good police officer. "An informative introductory resource. . . may prove valuable even to graduate students." --The Social Science Journal

The Rorschach Assessment of Aggressive and Psychopathic Personalities

The Rorschach Assessment of Aggressive and Psychopathic Personalities

Carl B. Gacono; J. Reid Meloy

Routledge Member of the Taylor and Francis Group
1994
sidottu
This book provides a definitive empirical study of antisocial character pathology and its assessment through the use of the Rorschach. Drawing upon a decade of research with nearly 400 individuals in various hospitals and prisons, the authors paint an extraordinary intrapsychic picture of the personality structure and psychodynamics of these troublesome patients.Serving as both an educational tool and a reference text, this book presents: * Rorschach data on several different antisocial groups -- conduct disordered children and adolescents, antisocial personality disordered adult males with and without schizophrenia, antisocial adult females, and male and female sexual homicide perpetrators; * nomothetic (group) and idiographic (case study) data; * data which have been analyzed and theoretically interpreted using both structural methods and psychoanalytic approaches which represent the cutting edge of Rorschach theory and practice; and* a developmental approach in analyzing Rorschach data gathered from antisocial children, adolescents, and adults -- providing striking similarities. This is the first Rorschach database of this type that has ever been published. As such, it serves as a valuable reference text for Rorschach users -- providing a definitive empirical base, theoretical integration, and a focus on individuals who create severe problems for society.

Breaking the Circle: Death and the Afterlife in Buddhism

Breaking the Circle: Death and the Afterlife in Buddhism

Carl B. Becker

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY PRESS
1993
sidottu
In this much-needed examination of Buddhist views of death and the afterlife, Carl B. Becker bridges the gap between books on death in the West and books on Buddhism in the East. Other Western writers have addressed the mysteries surrounding death and the afterlife, but few have approached the topic from a Buddhist perspective. Here, Becker resolves questions that have troubled scholars since the beginning of Buddhism: How can Buddhism reconcile its belief in karma and rebirth with its denial of a permanent soul? What is reborn? And when, exactly, is the moment of death?By systematically tracing Buddhism's migration from India through China, Japan, and Tibet, Becker demonstrates how culture and environment affect Buddhist religious tradition.In addition to discussing historical Buddhism, Becker shows how Buddhism resolves controversial current issues as well. In the face of modern medicine's trend toward depersonalization, traditional Buddhist practices imbue the dying process with respect and dignity. At the same time, Buddhist tradition offers documented precedents for decision making in cases of suicide and euthanasia.

The Church Is You and I

The Church Is You and I

Carl B Rife; Carolyn Bishop

CSS Publishing Company
1984
pokkari
The Church Is You and I is a simple but significant Confirmation service and message. The service reflects on the meaning of Confirmation in terms of our relationship to the church. Confirmation is seen as covenant -- an affirmation of our new covenant with God and the church. That covenant calls us to service. It is this theme of service and mutual sharing that is found in the message. The church is seen as people -- not as buildings. The sermon/message is written in poetic form and may be presented in dialogue fashion using three voices or many voices. Carl B. Rife is pastor of Grace United Methodist Church in Baltimore, Maryland. He is a graduate of Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pennsylvania, and United Theological Seminary, Dayton, Ohio. He received his Doctor of Ministry degree in 1973 from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington DC. Dr. Rife has also taken graduate courses at Lutheran Theological Seminary, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Carolyn Bishop is the Director of Program at Grace United Methodist Church in Baltimore and Assistant Professor at Towson State University and Essex Community College.

In his second book, Fake News, Real Paintings: An Artist's View of What's Wrong With the World, Canadian artist, Carl Parker shares some his more controversial works; his self-styled "protest pieces." These works depict his commentary on many of the issues, personalities, and trends facing the world today. His brutally honest and compelling pieces are matched by an equally truthful, no holds barred, witty and often humourous description of the inspiration, and often frustration, that fueled the creation of each.

Torchbearer of Freedom: The Influence of Richard Price on Eighteenth Century Thought is a book written by Carl B. Cone. The book explores the life and work of Richard Price, a prominent figure in the intellectual and political landscape of the eighteenth century. Price was a philosopher, theologian, and political activist who played a significant role in the American and French Revolutions. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Price's life and ideas, tracing his intellectual development from his early years as a dissenting minister to his later work as a political theorist. Cone examines Price's contributions to a wide range of fields, including theology, philosophy, economics, and politics. One of Price's most significant contributions was his defense of individual liberty and human rights, which he articulated in his influential work, A Discourse on the Love of Our Country. Cone explores how Price's ideas influenced the thinking of other prominent figures of the time, such as Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, and Mary Wollstonecraft. The book also delves into Price's role in the abolitionist movement, his advocacy for religious toleration, and his support for the American and French Revolutions. Cone argues that Price's ideas were instrumental in shaping the political and intellectual landscape of the eighteenth century and had a lasting impact on the development of modern liberalism. Overall, Torchbearer of Freedom provides a fascinating insight into the life and ideas of Richard Price and their influence on the intellectual and political history of the eighteenth century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
