Lo stoicismo e il buddhismo occidentale: Una riflessione su due filosofie di vita
by Patrick UssherMolti praticanti del buddhismo trovano che la filosofia stoica, antica filosofia e stile di vita greco-romano, sia un utile contributo alla propria vita, affine a quello della propria via. Dall’altro lato, anche molti stoici moderni praticano la meditazione di ispirazione buddhista, e trovano sostegno nelle idee e pratiche da esso ispirate. In questa estesa riflessione, Patrick Ussher considera in che modo il buddhismo e lo stoicismo siano affini – entrambi filosofie altamente impegnate e pratiche, da intendersi come stili di vita, che possono anche informarsi e illuminarsi reciprocamente. Il libro esplora i temi della consapevolezza buddista e stoica, le intuizioni psicologiche condivise e le pratiche stoiche e buddiste per coltivare la compassione e l’amore per il prossimo. Patrick Ussher affronta anche il motivo per cui, fra tutte le forme di buddhismo, quella più simile allo stoicismo è il “buddhismo occidentale”. In Occidente, il buddhismo è stato “riaggiornato” in una forma di filosofia pratica, intesa come stile di vita, altamente impegnata e concentrata sul momento presente. Guarda caso, questa “reinvenzione” occidentale del buddhismo si rivela essere molto più vicina alla filosofia stoica di quanto non sia prossima al buddhismo tradizionale da cui attinge. Allo stesso modo, anche lo stoicismo in tempi recenti è andato incontro a una “reinvenzione”, che ha particolarmente enfatizzato la sua natura pratica di filosofia intesa come stile di vita; ciò è accaduto anche per rivolgersi a tutti, a prescindere dalla fede in Dio, che era una caratteristica essenziale dello stoicismo tradizionale. Lo “Stoicismo moderno” che ne deriva è allo stesso modo più vicino al buddhismo occidentale di quanto non lo sia allo stoicismo tradizionale. Questo libro è scritto per chiunque sia interessato a come lo stoicismo o il buddhismo possano essere un contributo benefico e autentico alla propria vita, ma anche a chiunque sia anc

Lobola (Bridewealth) in Contemporary Southern Africa: Implications for Gender Equality
by Lovemore Togarasei Ezra ChitandoThis volume explores the multiple meanings and implications of lobola in Southern Africa. The payment of lobola (often controversially translated as ‘bridewealth’) is an entrenched practice in most societies in Southern Africa. Although having a long tradition, of late there have been voices questioning its relevance in contemporary times while others vehemently defend the practice. This book brings together a range of scholars from different academic disciplines, national contexts, institutions, genders, and ethnic backgrounds to debate the relevance of lobola in contemporary southern African communities for gender equality.
Local Churches in New Urban Britain, 1890-1975: “The Greatest Challenge”? (Histories of the Sacred and Secular, 1700–2000)
by Grant Masom“This monograph is an important contribution to our understanding of the varied fortunes of British Christianity during the twentieth century.” - Rev Dr Andrew Atherstone, Tutor in Church History and Latimer Research Fellow, Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford, UK “This book is an important and original work. Anyone interested in twentieth-century Christianity in Britain will learn much from it. Grant Masom enables the reader to make sense of the new urban spaces that became a key part of British life in the last hundred years.” - Rev Dr David Goodhew, Visiting Fellow of St Johns College, Durham University, UK “This ground-breaking study adds new depth to our understanding of the importance of religion in English life and the role of the churches in shaping their own destiny in the first three-quarters of the twentieth century.” - Dr Mark Smith, Associate Professor in History, University of Oxford, UK This book contributes to the ongoing academic debates on secularisation—or the marginalisation of mainstream religious beliefs and practices—in twentieth-century British society. It addresses three areas in which the current literature is weak: the ‘agency’ of organised religion in the outcomes described as secularisation, rather than explanations based on external challenges (such as the ‘modernisation’ of society and thought, increased affluence, and more leisure choices); a focus on urban areas transformed by twentieth-century industrialisation and suburbanisation; and an extended time period to the end of the third quarter of the twentieth century, allowing proper consideration of long-term trends alongside short-term upheavals such as the World Wars, the Great Depression, and the social changes of the 1960s. Further, the book employs a distinctly different, highly data-driven approach, considers all religious movements, and sets its conclusions within the wider social and cultural context of a representative community.
Local Environmental Regulation in Post-Socialism: A Hungarian Case Study (Routledge Revivals)
by Chris G. PickvanceThis title was first published in 2003. This text examines Hungarian local environmental regulation in practice rather than what should happen according to national legislation. The book is based on interviews with officials, regulators, firm managers and environmental groups in four localities in Hungary and on a national survey of local government officials. Numerous quotations from interviews are included. It is shown that the local social and economic context influences the behaviour of both local governments and regional environmental inspectorates. Firms' responsiveness to regulation is studied and it is shown that while some firms are ready to pay moderate environmental fines others are afraid of even symbolic fines. The findings are set within debates in the international literature on environmental regulation. It is shown that there are convergences with patterns reported in developed capitalist societies, but that certain legacies from state socialism are compatible with these patterns.

Local Style in English Architecture: An Enquiry Into Its Origin and Development (Routledge Revivals)
by Thomas AtkinsonOriginally published in 1947, this book examines the regional styles of architecture which developed inside England itself, particularly during the later medieval period. It discusses the causes and locations of these regional variations. In explaining the cause for the geographical variations in stye, the author investigates the various factors responsible for bringing them about, such as geology, race, religion, foreign influence, transport and fashion. As churches have survived the passage of time better than many secular buildings, the emphasis is on church architecture (although not exclusively). The book contains over 120 photographs and the book is an original and important inquiry into the origin and development of local styles in English architecture.
Locating Atonement: Explorations in Constructive Dogmatics (Los Angeles Theology Conference Series)
by Oliver D. Crisp Fred SandersThe proceedings of the third annual Los Angeles Theology Conference seek to identify the place of the doctrine of atonement in systematic theology. Locating Atonement: Explorations in Constructive Dogmatics intentionally excludes discussion of theories of atonement, typologies of those theories, and contests among various theories. Instead, it undertakes the question: What else is there to do in atonement theology besides rehashing types and theories?
Locating Maldivian Women’s Mosques in Global Discourses
by Jacqueline H. FewkesIn this ethnographic examination of women’s mosques in the Maldives, anthropologist Jacqueline H. Fewkes probes how the existence of these separate buildings—where women lead prayers for other women—intersect with larger questions about gender, space, and global Muslim communities. Bringing together ethnographic insight with historical accounts, this volume develops an understanding of the particular religious and cultural trends in the Maldives that have given rise to these unique socio-religious institutions. As Fewkes considers women’s spaces in the Maldives as a practice apart from contemporary global Islamic customs, she interrogates the intersections between local, national, and transnational communities in the development of Islamic spaces, linking together the role of nations in the formation of Muslim social spaces with transnational conceptualizations of Islamic gendered spaces. Using the Maldivian women’s mosque as a starting point, this book addresses the roles of both the nation and the global Muslim ummah in locating gendered spaces within discourses about gender and Islam.

Locations of Buddhism: Colonialism and Modernity in Sri Lanka
by Anne M. BlackburnModernizing and colonizing forces brought nineteenth-century Sri Lankan Buddhists both challenges and opportunities. How did Buddhists deal with social and economic change; new forms of political, religious, and educational discourse; and Christianity? And how did Sri Lankan Buddhists, collaborating with other Asian Buddhists, respond to colonial rule? To answer these questions, Anne M. Blackburn focuses on the life of leading monk and educator Hikkaduve Sumangala (1827-1911) to examine more broadly Buddhist life under foreign rule. InLocations of Buddhism, Blackburn reveals that during Sri Lanka's crucial decades of deepening colonial control and modernization, there was a surprising stability in the central religious activities of Hikkaduve and the Buddhists among whom he worked. At the same time, they developed new institutions and forms of association, drawing on pre-colonial intellectual heritage as well as colonial-period technologies and discourse. Advocating a new way of studying the impact of colonialism on colonized societies, Blackburn is particularly attuned here to human experience, paying attention to the habits of thought and modes of affiliation that characterized individuals and smaller scale groups. Locations of Buddhismis a wholly original contribution to the study of Sri Lanka and the history of Buddhism more generally.

Willie, Felix, and Sam find themselves on the same team during a lock-in scavenger hunt at church. Crusher, the neighborhood bully, is on the team too.

The team discovers that winning isn't everything; they learn to share their faith and help each other through inventive creations and important conversations.

Locke and Biblical Hermeneutics: Conscience and Scripture (International Archives of the History of Ideas Archives internationales d'histoire des idées #226)
by Luisa SimonuttiThe volume presents illuminating research carried out by international scholars of Locke and the early modern period. The essays address the theoretical and historical contexts of Locke’s analytical methodology and come together in a multidisciplinary approach that sets biblical hermeneutics in relation to his philosophical, historical, and political thought, and to the philological and doctrinal culture of his time. The contextualization of Locke’s biblical hermeneutics within the contemporary reading of the Bible contributes to the analysis of the figure of Christ and the role of Paul’s theology in political and religious thought from the seventeenth century to the Enlightenment. The volume sheds light on how Locke was appreciated by his contemporaries as a biblical interpreter and exegete. It also offers a reconsideration that overarches interpretations confined within specific disciplinary ambits to address Locke’s thought in a global historic context.
Locked In: The Will to Survive and the Resolve to Live
by Valentin Chmerkovskiy Victoria ArlenESPN personality and Paralympics champion Victoria Arlen shares her courageous and miraculous story of recovery after falling into a mysterious vegetative state at age eleven and how she broke free, overcoming the odds and never giving up hope, eventually living a full and inspiring life.When Victoria Arlen was eleven years old, she contracted two rare diseases simultaneously and fell into a mysterious vegetative state. For two years her mind was dark, but in the third year, her mind broke free, and she was able to think clearly and to hear and feel everything—but no one knew. When she was fifteen years old, against all odds and medical predictions, she was finally able to communicate through eye blinks, and she gradually regained her ability to speak and eat and move her upper body, but she faced the devastating reality of paralysis from the waist down because of damage to her spine. However, Victoria didn’t lose her strength or steadfast determination, and two years later, she won a gold medal for swimming at the London 2012 Paralympics. In Locked In, Victoria shares her never-before-published story—the pain, the struggle, the fight to live and thrive, and most importantly, the faith that carried her through. Her journey was not easy, but by believing in God’s healing power and forgiveness, she is living proof that, despite seemingly insurmountable odds and challenges, the will to survive and resolve to live can be a force stronger than our worst deterrents. Not many people get a second chance at life like Victoria has, and she made a promise to God that she would make every moment count.
