Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C.

Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C. analyzes the broad character of art produced during this period, providing in-depth analysis of and commentary on many of its most notable examples of sculpture and painting. Taking into consideration developments in style and subject matter, and elucidating political, religious, and intellectual context, William A. P. Childs argues that Greek art in this era was a natural outgrowth of the high classical period and focused on developing the rudiments of individual expression that became the hallmark of the classical in the fifth century. As Childs shows, in many respects the art of this period corresponds with the philosophical inquiry by Plato and his contemporaries into the nature of art and speaks to the contemporaneous sense of insecurity and renewed religious devotion. Delving into formal and iconographic developments in sculpture and painting, Childs examines how the sensitive, expressive quality of these works seamlessly links the classical and Hellenistic periods, with no appreciable rupture in the continuous exploration of the human condition. Another overarching theme concerns the nature of "style as a concept of expression," an issue that becomes more important given the increasingly multiple styles and functions of fourth-century Greek art. Childs also shows how the color and form of works suggested the unseen and revealed the profound character of individuals and the physical world.
A Handbook for Parents and Church Workers: Facilitating the Transformation from Childhood to Men and Women of God
The first chapters of this handbook deal with the basic reasons why many children raised in church today do not live a Christian life when they become adults, and what can be done about it. This book also covers the effects of our culture on our kids, and what we can do about that. Thirdly, this book contains a lot of practical information concerning communication with kids (including communication with teenagers), discipline of kids, and classroom management. Fundamental differences between effectively working with pre-adolescent children versus effectively working with teenagers are described in detail. Information is provided to help the parent or church worker teach and train kids about a wide range of vital topics, including sex, peer pressure, wisdom, schoolwork, finding a spouse, finances, finding a purpose in life, dealing with anger, and dealing with a culture that does not honor God. Foremost and most importantly, this book is all about helping your kids establish a strong, solid, unshakable relationship with the Living God. This handbook is for anybody who works with boys or girls. It is also for anybody working with teenagers, also known as adolescents or "youth". It is for parents and for those who work with kids but are not parents. This book is for folks with kids born yesterday, for people with kids born 20 years ago, or for anybody who thinks they might be responsible for a kid of some age at sometime in their life. This means that teenagers will benefit from this book These young people need to see the big picture regarding how adults should relate to children and teenagers. They need to see it now, before they have children of their own. Sales of this book support the ministry of True Life Church, located in Brier Creek, North Carolina. (www.mytruelife.org)

Larry P. Revisited is a timely effort on the part of a group of dedicated professionals to address failures to afford quality education for African American students because of faulty testing procedures. America can't afford to fail to fully educate its black children. They, along with other people of color, will comprise 50 percent of the population two generations from now. Larry P. Revisited thus constitutes a vitally important contribution in this respect.--William F. BrazzielUniversity of Connecticut The subtitle "Learning While Black" is all about the fight for equity in America's public-school systems.--Lee RomneyKALW, Education Reporter When the head of the San Francisco chapter of the NAACP demanded the city declare a "state of emergency" to tackle low academic test results for African American students, he turned the blame on the grown-ups. "It's not that the children are failing," the Reverend Amos Brown told school board trustees. "I'm using the plural pronoun 'we.' We are failing." The so-called equity gap has persisted for decades. As a group, African American students in San Francisco and across the country struggle in public school, often posting the lowest test scores and graduation rates and the highest rates of suspension and chronic absenteeism.--Reverend Amos BrownPresident, San Francisco, NAACP These proceedings offer a concise, clear, and powerful summary of current issues regarding the psychological assessment of African Americans. It is a must read for psychologists, educators, parents, and others concerned with the development of African American children.--Kenneth Monteiro, PhDSan Francisco State University

Walter Bradley made a deal with God: he would unashamedly share his faith with students and faculty, and he would not let academic ambition prevent him from giving his faith and family the time they deserve. The day he could no longer keep that deal, he would leave the academy. He never had to.From his days as a determined graduate assistant sharing his love for Jesus with his first class, to becoming one of the most respected engineering professors in academia, Walter Bradley remained a man of integrity, dedicated to truth and love. He's made a difference in myriad ways from leading a small Bible study for students in his home to defending intelligent design before large crowds of his academic peers. He's equally comfortable performing ground-breaking research for NASA, serving as an expert witness in the courtroom, or empowering people in Africa with appropriate technologies. Through it all, one thing has remained true: Walter Bradley made a crucial difference for good in countless lives.In For a Greater Purpose: The Life and Legacy of Walter Bradley, authors Robert Marks and William Dembski detail the story of this remarkable man whose passion for God, science, higher education, and human empowerment provides an excellent model of someone who integrates faith and learning.
