The Gospel of Brian McLaren

The Gospel of Brian McLaren

Jeremy Bouma

Theoklesia, LLC
2013
pokkari
An Old Liberal Gospel for a New Postmodern DayFor years Brian McLaren has been on a quest to reimagine the Christian faith in response to our emerging postmodern culture. While some have called him one of America's most influential Evangelicals, how evangelical is McLaren's theology and how does it compare to the historic Christian faith? In The Gospel of Brian McLaren, Jeremy Bouma engages these questions head-on. As a former Emergent insider who left the movement after rediscovering the historic Christian faith, Bouma has dedicated his pastoral and academic work to helping people better understanding the theology of the Emergent Church. With a chapter from Reimagining the Kingdom-his book on Mclaren's theology of the Kingdom of God-and fresh content exploring McLaren's newest book on religious pluralism, Bouma plumbs the depths of McLaren's gospel with academic precision and pastoral care. In the end, this book will help you better understand how the gospel of Brian McLaren truly is a new kind of Christianity for a multi-faith world, which is no gospel at all.

sidottu
This is a sumptuous buffet of modern life presented by the British novelist Graham Greene and his Irish counterpart Brian Moore. Though the book follows a comparative framework, it is flavored by the critical tools of Reader Response as well as The Gestalt literary criticism to sift out the Genuine humanity it argues for, from the comic appearances of life that are founded on sand and are floundered at the mere waves of life.

Fame, Money, and Power

Fame, Money, and Power

Brian M. Lavelle

The University of Michigan Press
2005
sidottu
"The sixth century is a very contentious time; Fame, Money, and Power unambiguously advances our understanding of Peisistratos and archaic Athens. No one else has tackled so many of the difficult issues that Lavelle has taken on."--David Tandy, University of Tennessee"Well researched and engaging, [Fame, Money, and Power] painstakingly builds [its] case for how the various phases of Peisistratos's career developed."--Tony Podlecki, University of British ColumbiaThe Athenian "golden age" occurred in the fifth century B.C.E. and was attributed to their great achievements in art, literature, science, and philosophy. However, the most important achievement of the time was the political movement from tyranny to democracy. Though tyranny is thought to be democracy's opposite and deadly enemy, that is not always the case. In Fame, Money, and Power, Brian Lavelle states that the perceived polarity between tyranny and democracy does not reflect the truth in this instance.The career of the tyrant Peisistratos resembles the careers and successes of early democratic soldier-politicians. As with any democratic political system, Peisistratos' governance depended upon the willingness of the Athenians who conceded governance to him. This book attempts to show how the rise of Peisistratos fits into an essentially democratic system already entrenched at Athens in the earlier sixth century B.C.E. Emerging from the apparent backwater of eastern Attika, Peisistratos led the Athenians to victory over their neighbors, the Megarians, in a long, drawn out war. That victory earned him great popularity from the Athenians and propelled him along the road to monarchy. Yet, political success at Athens, even as Solon implies in his poems, depended upon the enrichment of the Athenian d?mos, not just fame and popularity. Peisistratos tried and failed two times to "root" his tyranny, his failures owing to a lack of sufficient money with which to appease the demos. Exiled from Athens, he spent the next ten years amassing money to enrich the Athenians and power to overcome his enemies. He then sustained his rule by grasping the realities of Athenian politics. Peisistratos' tyrannies were partnerships with the d?mos, the first two of which failed. His final formula for success, securing more money than his opponents possessed and then more resources for enriching the d?mos, provided the model for future democratic politicians of Athens who wanted to obtain and keep power in fifth-century Athens.

Emerging Moral Vocabularies

Emerging Moral Vocabularies

Brian M. Lowe

Lexington Books
2006
sidottu
One of the central observations of the social sciences has been that the modern age is an age of constant change. This change has resulted in the emergence of new moral and ethical claims and understanding, which author Brian Lowe refers to as "moral vocabularies." Lowe skillfully seeks to explain under what conditions certain moral vocabularies are more likely to gain acceptance in the wider host society. By focusing on the animal rights and tobacco control movements, this absorbing work explores the process of moralization and the fragmentary nature of the emergence of new forms of moral and ethical meanings within the wider host society. Emerging Moral Vocabularies challenges the broad assertion that Western post-industrial societies are inevitably becoming more individualistic and self-centered, and instead encourages scholars to examine emerging forms for moral and ethical meaning, which form new moral boundaries.

Irish History Matters

Irish History Matters

Brian M. Walker

The History Press Ltd
2019
sidottu
While knowledge of history can explain our contemporary situation, an awareness of the myths and misuses of our history can bring a broader and more conciliatory approach to current political and social challenges. History or, more correctly, ‘views of the past’ or ‘historical myths’ have shaped politics in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. These views served in part to cause and sustain the ‘Troubles’. Eventually, many historical perceptions were challenged, which helped to promote the peace process. New ideas of revised and shared history were important. These changes are explored here. The public expression of history in Ireland through commemoration of important historical events and persons is investigated in a number of chapters. The impact of historical developments on identity is studied not just in Ireland, north and south, but also among the Irish diaspora, especially in America. In Irish History Matters, Brian M. Walker uses three decades of research to explore the effects historical events have had on Irish politics and society, and why they still have an important influence today.

This is the story of the 1959 Dodgers, a team that rose above its disastrous first season on the West Coast for an out-of-nowhere World Series title. One of baseball's greatest underdog champions, the '59 Dodgers were a rag-tag team made of long shots salvaged from the minor leagues and over-the-hill ballplayers who reached back for one final triumph. After surviving a thrilling three team pennant race, they met fellow long shots the Chicago White Sox in an underdog World Series. Here, the team's story is recounted in detail, with game-by-game highlights, and set against the cultural backdrop of the civil rights movement, the Cold War, and the rock and roll cultural revolution.
