Adopting the Stranger as Kindred in Deuteronomy

Adopting the Stranger as Kindred in Deuteronomy

Mark R Glanville

Society of Biblical Literature
2018
pokkari
Deuteronomy addresses social contexts of widespread displacement, an issue affecting 65 million people today. In this book Mark R. Glanville investigates how Deuteronomy fosters the integration of the stranger as kindred into the community of Yahweh. According to Deuteronomy, displaced people are to be enfolded within the household, within the clan, and within the nation. Glanville argues that Deuteronomy demonstrates the immense creativity that communities may invest in enfolding displaced and vulnerable people. Inclusivism is nourished through social law, the law of judicial procedure, communal feasting, and covenant renewal. Deuteronomy's call to include the stranger as kindred presents contemporary nation-states with an opportunity and a responsibility to reimagine themselves and their disposition toward displaced strangers today.

Objective Measurement

Objective Measurement

The measurement practice section illustrates the application of objective measurement methods to personality psychology, a sociological study of school environment, personnel management, pain research, motor performance, and curriculum development. It emphasizes practice over theory, showing how measurement practice contributes valuable perspectives on substantive theory. The measurement theory section describes the development of new measurement models that extend objective measurement into learning contexts, rank-ordered data, and multidimensional profiles composed of subtests. These are complemented by a study of the use of objective measurement to examine the construct validity of items, and an exploration of the impact of text anxiety and item order on measurements. The final section examines recent developments in mathematical programming techniques applied to test assembly, parameter estimation and generalizability theory.

Rights in the Balance

Rights in the Balance

On a horrific night in October 1975, Erwin Simants brutally murdered six members of the Henry Kellie family in tiny Sutherland, Nebraska. Massive media attention to the grisly story soon spawned a historic collision between two of the most cherished American constitutional protections - the First Amendment's guarantee of a free press and the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of a criminal defendants right to a fair trial before an impartial jury. ""Rights in the Balance"" is the story of the complex legal battles set in motion that tragic night on the western Nebraska plains. In juxtaposition to the criminal prosecution of Erwin Simants, Mark Scherer traces the Nebraska Press Associations battle to overturn a gag order imposed on the media by state court judges. Prohibited from publishing certain details about the crimes and the Simants prosecution, the association set its own arduous legal course that would lead ultimately to the U.S. Supreme Court and the landmark ruling issued in ""Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart"". The decision, one of the most closely followed in American constitutional history, remains one of the high courts most significant statements and controlling precedents on the troublesome and recurring conflict between the rights of free press and fair trial. Balancing the nuances of myriad legal considerations against the very human dimensions of both the constitutional litigations and the Simants prosecution, Scherer offers up a narrative accessible not only to communications and legal specialists and scholars but also the interested general public.
Proclaiming Pentecost: 100 Sermon Outlines on the Power of the Holy Spirit
God wants His church to be a powerful missionary force in the earth, reaching out to all nations with the life-changing gospel of Christ. For that to happen it must be empowered by the Holy Spirit just as was the early church (Acts 1:8). This collection of sermon outlines on the power of the Holy Spirit comes from a select group of Pentecostal ministers and missionaries from throughout Africa and the USA who are passionate about the great need for the church to experience the power of Pentecost. These outlines have been compiled to assist men and women who desire to see this happen.
There Are No Buts Except The One You Are Sitting ON
A great book for personal growth or small group study guide. This book is about living the abundant life that Jesus came to earth to provide for us. For far too long I have watched Christians walk around living their lives in a defeated manner. We have professed a faith in Jesus but the way we live our lives seems to reflect exactly how the rest of the world lives. We have seen Christians struggling with worry, forgiveness and their identity in Christ. In this book we will explore some of the areas of our lives that do not measure up to the example that Jesus has given us. We will not only look at these areas but I will give you practical tips on how to bring our lives in line with biblical principles. As you read this book it is important to examine yourselves to see where you are living up to the standards and those areas you need to work on to improve. This is an ideal tool for any small group or Bible study. Each chapter has questions for reflection to better apply the truths to you as an individual. Each chapter covers an area of life that Christian need to bring under God's guidlines to live the abundant life. The chapters include areas of concern like worry, and how to overcome worry for good. We will talk about forgiveness, who we are in Christ, what it means to be a disciple and talk about the ME generation. The intent of this book is to help you through the reading and the reflection questions grow in your relationship with the Lord.

Encountering God's Missionary Spirit: A Missional Study of the Holy Spirit
This book approaches the study of the Holy Spirit from a unique biblical perspective. It presents the Holy Spirit as "God's Missionary Spirit," focusing on the central role of the Holy Spirit in fulfilling God's mission to call to himself a people out of every tribe, language, and nation on earth. It is designed to equip church leaders to better guide their churches into authentic New Testament experience and practice. It is further designed to help leaders mobilize their churches for Spirit-empowered mission and church planting. The author believes that, if the church is to fulfill its God-ordained destiny among the nations, it must capture a missional understanding of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. It must fully embrace Jesus' last message to the church: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8).

Designed for researchers in ecology at all levels and career stages, from students and postdoctoral fellows to seasoned professionals, this third edition reflects the significant advances in quantitative analysis of the past decade. It provides updated examples and methods, with reduced emphasis on older techniques that have seen limited use in recent ecological literature. The authors cover new and emerging approaches, including Hierarchical Bayesian analysis and spatio-temporal methods. A key feature is the integration of ecological and statistical concepts, highlighting the critical role that this type of analysis plays in ecological understanding. The book provides up-to-date summaries of methodological advancements in spatial and spatio-temporal analysis, along with insights into future developments in areas such as spatial graphs, multi-level networks, and machine learning applications. It also offers practical examples and guidance to help researchers select, apply, and interpret the appropriate methods.
