The Evaluative Study of Action Research: Rigorous Findings on Process and Impact from Around the World
by Eileen Piggot-IrvineThe Evaluative Study of Action Research presents all eight published papers as part of the six-year, global, Evaluative Study of Action Research (ESAR) in one volume. The study sought to enhance the academic rigour of Action Research (AR) and provide greater evidence of its impact. This research contained in this book shows, in a cohesive way, how the ESAR exemplifies original research incorporating new methodologies to create new knowledge. An Evaluative AR framework and indicators were created for initial qualitative data collection with six initial case studies using interviews, survey, documentary analysis, and Goal Attainment Scaling methods. The initial study was followed by a large-scale mixed method survey with 174 projects from across the globe. Almost all projects exhibited positive elements linked to AR precursors (focus clarification, stakeholder engagement, funding), processes (phased, planned yet flexible activity, data collection and analysis, ongoing collaboration and leadership), and outcomes/impacts (change, knowledge mobilisation and continuing action). The results of the ESAR, elaborated in this volume, offer important indications for how to create the sort of respectful engagement that is required for collective strength in solution based, innovative, change. This book will be a valuable resource for: action researchers throughout the world; postgraduate research students, academics and libraries; evaluators; and anyone in communities who wishes to know how to create sustainable change.

The book also explores why, how and where participatory research and evaluation should take place and provides suggestions on how the findings can be presented in imaginative ways. This unique book is an invaluable resource for those wishing to consult with children and families or evaluate social, health and education services in diverse cultural settings.
The Evaluators’ Eye
by Gemma DerrickThis book offers an empirical analysis of how academic peer review panels mediate the traditionally non-academic criterion of societal impact. The UK’s 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF2014) for the first time included an “Impact” criterion that considered how research had influenced society, beyond academia. Using a series of interviews with REF2014 Main Panel A evaluators, the book explores how a dominant definition of Impact was constructed within panels and how this led to the development of strategies around valuing it as an ambiguous object. By doing so, Derrick brings a unique perspective to Impact that is currently overlooked in the dominant Impact evaluation discourse. Through examining the evaluation procedure as a dynamic process it is argued that the best models, strategies and insights for Impact evaluation are those constructed in practice, within peer review groups. By exploring the legitimacy of peer review as a tool to assess the societal impact of research, Derrick states that the future for Impact evaluation is not to seek alternative tools where peer review seemingly fails, but instead to highlight ways in which peer review panels can work smarter. The book will be essential reading for students, academics and policy-makers working in Education, as well as researchers interested in peer review processes and the research evaluation frameworks and audit exercises globally.

Evan Pugh’s Penn State: America’s Model Agricultural College
by Roger L. WilliamsWhen Evan Pugh became the first president of Pennsylvania’s Farmers’ High School—later to be known as The Pennsylvania State University—the small campus was in disrepair and in dire need of leadership. Pugh was young, barely into his 30s, but he was energetic, educated, and visionary. During his tenure as president he molded the school into a model institution of its kind: America’s first scientifically based agricultural college.In this volume, Roger Williams gives Pugh his first book-length biographical treatment. Williams recounts Pugh’s short life and impressive career, from his early days studying science in the United States and Europe to his fellowship in the London Chemical Society, during which he laid the foundations of the modern ammonium nitrate fertilizer industry, and back to Pennsylvania, where he set about developing “upon the soil of Pennsylvania the best agricultural college in the world” and worked to build an American academic system mirroring Germany’s state-sponsored agricultural colleges. This last goal came to fruition with the passage of the Morrill Act in 1862, just two years prior to Pugh’s death. Drawing on the scientist-academic administrator’s own writings and taking a wide focus on the history of higher education during his lifetime, Evan Pugh’s Penn State tells the compelling story of Pugh’s advocacy and success on behalf of both Penn State and land-grant colleges nationwide.Despite his short life and career, Evan Pugh’s vision for Penn State made him a leader in higher education. This engaging biography restores Pugh to his rightful place in the history of scientific agriculture and education in the United States.
Evangelical Hermeneutics: The New Versus The Old
by Robert L. ThomasHermeneutical theory has been extensively expanded, refined, and rethought over the last three decades—leading to both confusion and conflict over how contemporary evangelicals should read, interpret, and apply Scripture. Dr. Thomas compares, contrasts, and clarifies the basic characteristics of and developing conflicts between traditional evangelical hermeneutics and newer theories that place one's "preunderstanding" at the beginning of the interpretive process. This accomplished and acclaimed scholar evaluates how some newer methods may open the door to unorthodox—and potentially spurious—interpretations of Scripture's core teachings.
Evangelical Religion and Popular Education: A Modern Interpretation (Psychology Revivals)
by John McLeishUnder the influence of the evangelical movement in the 18th and early 19th centuries education, in one form or another, was brought to a vast number of people in England and Wales. Originally published in 1969, it is this phenomenon that forms the subject of Dr McLeish’s book. The two central figures are Griffith Jones and Hannah More and the movements are seen almost entirely through their work. Dr McLeish examines the nature and aims of the schools which were established; their economics and organisation; their progress and achievement; the social background in which they flourished. In the second part of his book Dr McLeish attempts a bold synthesis. He analyses these data in light of four essentially modern social theories – Marxist dialectics, the functionalist anthropology of Malinowski, Freudian psychoanalysis, and the sociology of Talcott Parsons. The author does not pretend to provide all the answers. What he suggests is a way of looking at history that is open-minded and eclectic and vitalizing in the perspectives which it offers.

Evangelicals Engaging in Practical Theology: Theology that Impacts Church and World (Explorations in Practical, Pastoral and Empirical Theology)
by Helen MorrisThis book aims to introduce a distinctively evangelical voice to the discipline of practical theology. Evangelicals have sometimes seen practical theology as primarily a ‘liberal’ project. This collection, however, actively engages with practical theology from an evangelical perspective, both through discussion of the substantive issues and by providing examples of practical theology done by evangelicals in the classroom, the church, and beyond. This volume brings together established and emerging voices to debate the growing role which practical theology is playing in evangelical and Pentecostal circles. Chapters begin by addressing methodological concerns, before moving into areas of practice. Additionally, there are four short papers from students who make use of practical theology to reflect upon their own practice. Issues of authority and normativity are tackled head on in a way that will inform the debate both within and beyond evangelicalism. This book will, therefore, be of keen interest to scholars of practical, evangelical, and Pentecostal theology.
Evangelicals & Scripture: Tradition, Authority and Hermeneutics (Wheaton Theology Conference Series)
by Vincent BacoteBy definition, a high view of Scripture inheres in evangelicalism. However, there does not seem to be a uniform way to articulate an evangelical doctrine of Scripture. Taking up the challenge, Vincent Bacote, Laura Miguélez and Dennis Okholm present twelve essays that explore in depth the meaning of an evangelical doctrine of Scripture that takes seriously both the human and divine dimensions of the Bible. Selected from the presentations made at the 2001 Wheaton Theology Conference, the essays approach this vital subject from three directions. Stanley J. Grenz, Thomas Buchan, Bruce L. McCormack and Donald W. Dayton consider the history of evangelical thinking on the nature of Scripture. John J. Brogan, Kent Sparks, J. Daniel Hays and Richard L. Schultz address the nature of biblical authority. Bruce Ellis Benson, John R. Franke, Daniel J. Treier and David Alan Williams explore the challenge of hermeneutics, especially as it relates to interpreting Scripture in a postmodern context. Together these essays provide a window into current evangelical scholarship on the doctrine of Scripture and also advance the dialogue about how best to construe our faith in the Word of God, living and written, that informs not only the belief but also the practice of the church.
El Evangelio de Rut: Una mujer que marcó un hito en su tiempo con la bendición de Dios
by Carolyn Custis JamesEsta no es la Rut, ni la Noemí, ni el Booz que pensábamos que conocíamos. Carolyn James ha desenterrado nociones nuevas y asombrosas de esta bien conocida narración… nociones que tienen implicaciones que cambiarán su vida. A Noemí ya no se le considera como una mujer amargada y quejosa, sino como una triunfadora valiente. Una Job femenina. Rut (típicamente admirada por su devoción a Noemí y su deferencia a Booz) se convierte en una mujer intrépida que se arriesga y en una agente poderosa de cambio entre el pueblo de Dios. Tiene ideas novedosas, y su amor por Jehová y Noemí la lleva a romper las reglas de los convencionalismos sociales o religiosos en casi cada ocasión. Booz, el pariente redentor, repetidas veces se ve sorprendido con la guardia baja por las iniciativas de Ruth. Su relación con ella modela el tipo de relación personal entre un hombre y una mujer que el evangelio propone para todos los que sigue a Jesús. Carolyn James hurga hondo en el relato, descubriendo en el Antiguo Testamento el mismo evangelio apasionado, contracultural y quebrantador de reglas que Jesús modeló y enseñó a sus seguidores a buscar. Dentro de esta historia antigua hay un mapa a niveles radicales de amor y sacrificio, combinado con el mensaje de que Dios cuenta con sus hijas para edificar su reino. El evangelio de Rut enviste la vida de toda mujer con los propósitos del reino y nos liberta para abrazar de todo corazón el llamamiento de Dios, independientemente de las circunstancias o temporadas de la vida. Este relato de dos mujeres que lo habían perdido todo contiene un profundo mensaje: Dios creó a la mujer no para vivir en las márgenes a la sombra de los hombres o el pasado, sino para emerger como activistas valientes para su reino.

by Danilo H. GomesLa profunda sencillez de la palabra Resumen del evangelio sin complementos humanos. el evangelio puro ¿Realmente conoces el evangelio o solo lo que te han dicho? ¿Te dijeron toda la verdad?

EL EVANGELIO PURO trae un panorama del evangelio totalmente basado en las Sagradas Escrituras, sin ningún complemento dudoso o cuestionable, para reenraizar al cristiano en la fuente de la sabiduría.

El evangelio según san Mateo: Carta Magna de la Iglesia (Pastoral Bíblica)
by Gian Claudio Beccarelli FerrariLo que no deja de asombrar es cómo el autor P. Gian Claudio Beccarelli Ferrari, realiza comentarios, que actualiza para el hombre de hoy el mensaje evangélico, produce verdaderos frutos de conversión en las personas alejadas de la Iglesia, así como siembra una alegría desbordante en quienes renuevan el descubrimiento de los tesoros de su fe. Creo que esto se deba al carácter kerigmático del lenguaje que el autor maneja constantemente con gran experiencia. Esta publicación del comentario al Evangelio de Mateo era esperada, porque es el Evangelio que más ilumina el ser de la Iglesia. En este tiempo en el que, bajo la guía del Papa Francisco, la Iglesia busca su propia conversión en el orden pastoral, nos va, seguramente, a ser de mucho provecho confrontarnos con su ‘Carta Magna’, como en este libro se define el Evangelio según san Mateo.

Even the Devil Quotes Scripture: Reading the Bible on Its Own Terms
by Robyn J. Whitaker&“We are meant to take the Bible seriously, not literally.&” —from the Introduction In Even the Devil Quotes Scripture, Robyn J. Whitaker looks to the Bible as a guide to interpreting the Bible, and her findings breathe new life into our understanding and use of Scripture. As it turns out, the uses of Scripture within Scripture are flexible, open to frequent reinterpretation, and rarely literal.For instance, Ezra and Nehemiah reinterpret laws about whether Jews can marry foreigners in the wake of the Babylonian exile. Their contradiction of earlier traditions found in Deuteronomic law do not invalidate Scripture but rather represent its diverse applications for the prophets&’ specific situations. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus presents a more demanding interpretation of Mosaic law in the Sermon on the Mount, while in Mark&’s Gospel he all but ignores its prohibition of working on the Sabbath. Yet the common ethos of the two gospels prioritizes compassion over legalism.Ultimately, Whitaker ascertains one definitive characteristic of inner-biblical interpretation: love. After all, the Old Testament passage most frequently quoted in the New Testament is Leviticus 19:18: &“Love thy neighbor.&” Thus, Whitaker proposes a hermeneutic of love—a litmus test for the validity of a scriptural interpretation measured in charity. Ideal for any devoted reader of the Bible, Even the Devil Quotes Scripture opens our eyes to the Bible as a living, loving gift of God&’s unfolding revelation.

An Evening in the Classroom: Notes Taken by Miss Taylor in One of the Classes of Painting
by Harvey Dunn"Dunn, in his teaching, was more concerned with the essential spirit of work than with technical procedures. He never taught what kind of brushes or what kind of paint to use. It was merely whether the result had anything in common with the excitement of human existence." — Dean Cornwell, "the Dean of Illustrators" Illustrator and painter Harvey Dunn was deeply influenced by Howard Pyle and the teaching he received while at his school. Pyle's Brandywine students became some of the most important and well-regarded artists of the twentieth century, including N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Violet Oakley, and Jessie Willcox Smith. All studied alongside Dunn, and many of them would go on to teach. Dunn embraced Pyle's approach as an instructor and went on to influence the next generation of artists. During the course of an evening in 1934, while Dunn was teaching at Grand Central School of the Arts, one Miss Taylor, a witness to the class, recorded his comments and criticisms. These notes later surfaced in a slim, limited-edition volume. Enhanced by Dunn's striking woodcut images, the book provides a flavorful re-creation of the atmosphere in his classroom. An Evening in the Classroom is the best-preserved record of Dunn's critiques, and this handsome hardcover book will instruct and inspire artists, teachers and students, and art historians.
