God's Minute A Book of 365 Daily Prayers Sixty Seconds Long for Home Worship: A Collection of Biblical Wisdom and Spiritual Guidance for Christians
by 365 Eminent Clergymen and LaymenThis book of daily devotionals - one for every day of the year - contains contributions from hundreds of Christians, all distinguished in their belief and service to God and Christ's Gospel.The superb and wide-ranging selection of topics receives the name 'God's Minute', as each is designed to be read in around sixty seconds. Though characterized by brevity, the spiritual lessons and counsel provided in this book are valuable and thought-provoking. Many of the contributors were known by their congregation to use such lessons at the beginning or conclusion of a church worship; readers may opt to receive such wisdom at the beginning or end of each day.Subjects covered in this book range from the sermons of Christ, the qualities of an upstanding believer, and the overcoming of adversity. The practices of Christianity, such as the confession of sins and the use of prayer to communicate to God, or request His assistance, serve as recurring themes. How frequent trials and adversities affect us and those around us, and how we may draw upon our spiritual strength to surmount such challenges.After the conclusion of the year's devotions we also find a series of prayers for occasions of the year, such as Easter and Christmas Day.-Print ed.

Civil Society, Education and Human Formation: Philosophy's Role in a Renewed Understanding of Education (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education)
by J 257 Nis John T 257 Livaldis Ozoli 326 SEducation has been widely criticised as being too narrowly focused on skills, capacities and the transference of knowledge that can be used in the workplace. As a result of the dominance of economic rationalism and neo-liberalism, it has become commodified and marketed to potential customers. As a consequence, students have become consumers of an educational product and education has become an industry. There is deep dissatisfaction with these neo-liberal developments. What is missing is any conception of education as a key factor in the ‘human formation’ that will lead students to develop the virtues and values that they will need to not only lead successful lives, but also be responsible members of their communities — working for the common good and acting to transform them into just societies. This volume draws together a number of different perspectives on what is meant by ‘human formation’, argues that for a much richer conception of education, and addresses the lack of attention to human fulfilment. It also highlights the importance of philosophy in the articulation of novel ways of conceptualising education — providing alternatives to the dominant neo-liberal and economic rationalist models. The central question with which the book is concerned is a renewed understanding of education as the formation of persons, of civil society and the role of philosophy in fostering that renewal. In this volume there are a variety of voices from diverse traditions and cultures. Both East and West are represented and it might be expected that this would result in a divergence of opinion about the purpose of education. However, in spite of the diversity, there is some significant convergence in thinking about the ways in which education ought to serve the needs of both the individual and their communities. What is also particularly useful, and what is fresh about the essays presented here, is that there is also diversity in the philosophical approaches to the problem. This means that the convergence on the importance of ‘human formation’ as the cornerstone of education does not rely on a privileged philosophical method.

Pratinidhi Kahaniyan-Geetanjali Shree
by गीतांजलि श्रीयह गीतांजलि श्री की कहानियों का प्रतिनिधि संचयन है। गीतांजलि की लगभग हर कहानी अपनी टोन की कहानी है और विचलन उनके यहाँ गभग नहीं के बराबर है और यह बात अपने आपमें आश्चर्यजनक है क्योंकि बड़े-से-बड़े लेखक कई बार बाहरी दबावों और वक़्ती ज़रूरतों के चलते अपनी मूल टोन से विचिलत हुए हैं। यह अच्छी बात है कि गीतांजलि श्री ने अपनी लगभग हर कहानी में अपनी सिग्नेचर ट्यून को बरकरार रखा है। लेकिन सवाल यह है कि गीतांजलि कीकहानियों की यह मूल टोन आखिर है क्या? एक अजीब तरह का फक्कड़पन, एक अजीब तरह की दार्शनिकता, एक अजीब तरह की भाषा और एक अजीब तरह की रवानी। लेकिन ये सारी अजीबियतें ही उनके कथाकार को एक व्यक्तित्व प्रदान करती हैं। यहाँ यह कहना ज़रूरी है कि यह सब परम्परा से हटकर है और परम्परा में समाहित भी।

After Emancipation: Racism and Resistance at the University of Virginia (The American South Series)
Assessing a university&’s legacy in the age of segregation This anthology reckons with the University of Virginia&’s post-emancipation history of racial exploitation. Its fifteen essays highlight the many forms of marginalization and domination at Virginia&’s once all-white flagship university to uncover the patriarchal, nativist, and elitist assumptions that shaped university culture through the late nineteenth century and well into the twentieth. Including community responses ranging from personal reflections to interviews with local leaders to poems, this accessible volume will be essential reading for anyone with ties to UVA or to Charlottesville, as well as for anyone concerned with the legacy of slavery and segregation in America&’s universities.

Capturing the Ineffable: An Anthropology of Wisdom
Grounded in ethnographic case studies that examine experiences from which wisdom emerges, Capturing the Ineffable provides a rigorous analysis of the sociocultural context of wisdom in the contemporary world. Each chapter in the volume deals with different aspects and showcases how communities in different contexts — nursing homes, religious organizations, corporations, and monastic institutions, for example — engage with the ineffability of wisdom. Contributors draw from a range of disciplines and cross-cultural and historical data in order to interpret the meaning and value of wisdom as a human endeavour. This book also represents an anthropological method for evaluating various philosophical and scientific approaches to understanding wisdom, including how wisdom is learned and taught. Readers will be able to appreciate how action, emotion, uncertainty, and cultural systems come to bear on wisdom as a value in human life and expression. In the end, Capturing the Ineffable reveals how the conception and paradoxical nature of wisdom dispels the dichotomies of self/other, structure/agency, known/unknown, nature/culture, and the like. What is at stake is a recasting of wisdom as a particular kind of anthropological endeavour and, thus, a return to and modification of philosophical anthropology.
The Catholic Reception of Continental Philosophy in North America
This volume by leading philosophers and theologians explores the reception of continental philosophy in North America and its ongoing relation to Catholic institutions. What has prompted so many North American Catholics to support this particular school of thought? Why do so many Catholics continue to find continental philosophy attractive, and why do so many continental philosophers work in Catholic departments? The establishment of the relationship between continental philosophy and Catholicism was not obvious, nor was it easy. Many of the contributors to this volume have played important roles in its development, and in these pages they take a stance on this evolving relationship and demonstrate that the engagement is far from over. Exploring the mutual interests that made this alliance possible as well as the underlying tensions, the volume provides, for the first time, an extended reflection on the historical, institutional, and intellectual relationship between Catholicism and continental philosophy on North American soil up to the present day.
Christ Across the Disciplines: Past, Present, Future
In Christ across the Disciplines a group of distinguished scholars from across the theological spectrum explores the dynamic relationship between the Christian faith and the life of the mind. Although the essays in this volume are rooted in a rich understanding of the past, they focus primarily on how Christian students, teachers, and scholars might best meet the challenges of intellectual and cultural life in a global world.This book ranges widely over the broad terrain of contemporary academic and cultural life, covering such topics as the enormous growth of political activism in late twentieth-century evangelicalism, the dynamics of literature and faith in the African-American experience, the dramatic implications of globalization for those who profess Christ and practice the life of the mind, and more!
Coloniality and Racial (In)Justice in the University: Counting for Nothing?
Coloniality and Racial (In)Justice in the University examines the disruption and remaking of the university at a moment in history when white supremacist politics have erupted across North America, as have anti-racist and anti-colonial movements. Situating the university at the heart of these momentous developments, this collection debunks the popular claim that the university is well on its way to overcoming its histories of racial exclusion Written by faculty and students located at various levels within the institutional hierarchy, this book demonstrates how the shadows of settler colonialism and racial division are reiterated in "newer" neoliberal practices. Drawing on critical race and Indigenous theory, the chapters challenge Eurocentric knowledge, institutional whiteness, and structural discrimination that are the bedrock of the institution. The authors also analyse their own experiences to show how Indigenous dispossession, racial violence, administrative prejudice, and imperialist militarization shape classroom interactions within the university.
