Transcendentalist Hermeneutics: Institutional Authority and the Higher Criticism of the Bible
by Richard A. GrusinAmerican literary historians have viewed Ralph Waldo Emerson's resignation from the Unitarian ministry in 1832 in favor of a literary career as emblematic of a main current in American literature. That current is directed toward the possession of a self that is independent and fundamentally opposed to the "accoutrements of society and civilization" and expresses a Transcendentalist antipathy toward all institutionalized forms of religious observance. In the ongoing revision of American literary history, this traditional reading of the supposed anti-institutionalism of the Transcendentalists has been duly detailed and continually supported. Richard A. Grusin challenges both traditional and revisionist interpretations with detailed contextual studies of the hermeneutics of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Theodore Parker. Informed by the past two decades of critical theory, Grusin examines the influence of the higher criticism of the Bible--which focuses on authorship, date, place of origin, circumstances of composition, and the historical credibility of biblical writings--on these writers. The author argues that the Transcendentalist appeal to the authority of the "self" is not an appeal to a source of authority independent of institutions, but to an authority fundamentally innate.
Transcending: Trans Buddhist Voices
by Edited by Kevin Manders Elizabeth MarstonA compelling collection of the many voices and experiences of trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary Buddhists Transcending brings together more than thirty contributors from both the Mahayana and Theravada traditions to present a vision for a truly inclusive trans Buddhist sangha in the twenty-first century. Shining a light on a new generation of Buddhist role models, this book gives voice to those who have long been marginalized within the Buddhist world and society at large. While trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary practitioners have experienced empowerment and healing through their commitment to the Buddha, dharma, and sangha, they also share their experiences of isolation, transphobia, and aggression. In this diverse collection we hear the firsthand accounts, thoughts, and reflections of trans Buddhists from a variety of different lineages in an open invitation for all Buddhists to bring the issue of gender identity into the sangha, into the discourse, and onto the cushion. Only by doing so can we develop insight into our circumstances and grasp our true, essential nature.
Transcending: Reflections Of Crime Victims
by Howard ZehrAre victims of crime destined to have the rest of their lives shaped by the crimes they've experienced? ("What happened to the road map for living the rest of my life?" asks a woman whose mother was murdered.) Will victims of crime always be bystanders in the justice system? ("We're having a problem forgiving the judge and the system," says the father of a young man killed in prison.) Is it possible for anyone to transcend such a comprehensively destructive, identity altering occurrence? ("I thought, I'm going to run until I'm not angry anymore," expresses a woman who was assaulted.) Howard Zehr presents the portraits and the courageous stories of 39 victims of violent crime in Transcending: Reflections of Crime Victims. Many of these people were twice-wounded: once at the hands of an assailant; the second time by the courts, where there is no legal provision for a victim's participation. "My hope," says Zehr, "is that this book might hand down a rope to others who have experienced such tragedies and traumas, and that it might allow all who read it to live on the healing edge."
Transcending Madness: The Experience of the Six Bardos
by Chogyam TrungpaThe Tibetan word bardo is usually associated with life after death. Here, Chögyam Trungpa discusses bardo in a very different sense: as the peak experience of any given moment. Our experience of the present moment is always colored by one of six psychological states: the god realm (bliss), the jealous god realm (jealousy and lust for entertainment), the human realm (passion and desire), the animal realm (ignorance), the hungry ghost realm (poverty and possessiveness), and the hell realm (aggression and hatred). In relating these realms to the six traditional Buddhist bardo experiences, Trungpa provides an insightful look at the "madness" of our familiar psychological patterns and shows how they present an opportunity to transmute daily experience into freedom.
Transcending Mission: The Eclipse of a Modern Tradition
by Michael W. StroopeMission, missions, missional, and all its linguistic variations are part of the expanding vocabulary and rhetoric of the contemporary Christian missionary enterprise. Its language and assumptions are deeply ingrained in the thought and speech of the church today. Christianity is a missionary religion and faithful churches are mission-minded. What's more, in telling the story of apostles and bishops and monks as missionaries, we think we have grasped the true thread of Christian history. But what about those odd shapes, those unsettling gaps and creases in the historical record? Is the language of mission so clearly evident across the broad reaches of time? Is the trajectory of mission really so explicit from the early church to the present? Or has the modern missionary enterprise distorted our view of the past? As with every reigning paradigm, there comes a point when enough questions surface to beg for a close and critical look, even when it may seem transgressive to do so. In this study of the language of mission—its origin, development, and application—Michael Stroope investigates how the modern church has come to understand, speak of, and engage in the global expansion of Christianity. There is both surprise and hope in this tale. And perhaps the beginnings of a new conversation.
Transcending Mysteries: Who Is God, and What Does He Want from Us? (Refraction)
by Refraction Andrew Greer Ginny Owens"We fell in love with Jesus. Then we had to decide what to do with God." In Transcending Mysteries: Who Is God, and What Does He Want from Us? Andrew Greer and Ginny Owens take readers on a journey to answer the question: is the God of the Old Testament the same God we relate to and worship today?As the most definitive written revelation of who God is, Scripture has always been vital to the stories of the Christian faith. The Old Testament has proved especially tough for those who have been persuaded by the gracious gospel of Jesus but also desire to surrender to a God they don't fully comprehend. We adore the Son of God, but what about God the Father?Using Old Testament stories Andrew and Ginny help Christ-followers reconcile a New Testament Redeemer with an Old Testament God and understand what God really wants from His people. They dialog back and forth as they share their own stories of struggle and surrender. Their comments are separated by speaker identifiers that are used throughout. Features include:Old Testament stories that are completed in Jesus' messageDialog between Andrew Greer and Ginny OwensMusic lyrics from Andrew and Ginny that illustrate biblical truthsThought-provoking questions for reflection or study

Transcending Time
by B. Alan Wallace Gen Lamrimpa His Holiness the Dalai Lama Pauly B. FitzeInspired by years of scholarly training and decades of solitary retreat, Tibetan monk Gen Lamrimpa offers a concise overview of all phases of the Kalachakra practice: the preliminaries, the initiation, and finally, the stages of generation and completion. With remarkable clarity, he makes the Six-Session Guruyoga practice accessible to all practitioners, and deepens our understanding and appreciation of this sublime teaching of the Buddha. Gen Lamrimpa begins this eminently practical explanation by emphasizing the importance of a compassionate motivation for spiritual practice. He then explores the nature of suffering and the cycle of existence that traps all living beings, and concludes with a detailed account of the Six-Phase Yoga, which is meant to be recited and contemplated three times during the day and three times at night. Alan Wallace's introduction illuminates both Kalachakra's rich history and Gen Lamrimpa's unique contribution to our understanding. This book provides a clear explanation of Kalachakra as set forth within the context of the Six-Session Guruyoga, a daily meditation practice for initiates. Transcending Time presents all phases of Kalachakra practice--the preliminaries, the initiation, and finally, the stages of generation and completion.
Transcripts of the Sacred in Nigeria: Beautiful, Monstrous, Ridiculous
by Nimi WaribokoTranscripts of the Sacred in Nigeria explores how the sacred plays itself out in contemporary Africa. It offers a creative analysis of the logics and dynamics of the sacred (understood as the constellation of im/possibility available to a given community) in religion, politics, epistemology, economic development, and reactionary violence. Using the tools of philosophy, postcolonial criticism, political theory, African studies, religious studies, and cultural studies, Wariboko reveals the intricate connections between the sacred and the existential conditions that characterize disorder, terror, trauma, despair, and hope in the postcolonial Africa.The sacred, Wariboko argues, is not about religion or divinity but the set of possibilities opened to a people or denied them, the sum total of possibilities conceivable given their level of social, technological, and economic development. These possibilities profoundly speak to the present political moment in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Transfer of Undertakings in the Public Sector (Routledge Revivals Ser.)
by Colin BournThis title was first published in 2000: This volume discusses the impact of the transfer of undertakings regime upon the public sector, particularly focusing on the interaction between the protection of employee rights and the restructuring and modernization of public services. The crux of the book is the interaction of market-led policies in the public sector, such as compulsory competitive tendering, best value and the PFI, with the protection of employee rights on the transfer of imployment. It considers the evolving law on the scope of a relevant transfer under the European Acquired Rights Directive and the TUPE regulations, before reviewing the present stte of the law on dismissals, variation of terms, pensions and employee consultation in transfer-related situations. The book incorporates consideration of the text of the 1998 revision of the Acquired Rights Directive.
Transfiguration: Poetic Metaphor and the Languages of Religious Belief (Studies in Religion)
by Frank Burch BrownBrown proposes a theory of poetic metaphor that attempts to account for literature's complex role in the discovery and creation of significant patterns within both language and life. He shows that while poetic and conceptual modes of discover are different, they are nevertheless mutually interdependent. In particular, Brown offers a new view of the way in which theological and metaphysical concepts grow out of, and are transfigured by, metaphoric expression. This view is expressed in a detailed and original analysis of the structure and dynamics of T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets that lies at the heart of the study.Originally published in 1983.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.
Transfiguration: A Meditation on Transforming Ourselves and Our World
by John DearSpiritual leader and peace activist John Dear guides readers on the path to finding peace within, and bringing harmony to a world torn by hatred and violence, through following in the footsteps of Jesus. John Dear's efforts on behalf of social justice and world peace have won him international admiration and spurred features in theNew York Times, theWashington Post, NPR'sAll Things Considered,USA TODAY, and theNational Catholic Reporter. Seen by many to be the spiritual heir to the Berrigan brothers, Dear believes that the key to the spiritual life is not just finding inner peace, but also bringing that peace to bear on the outside world. In his latest work, Dear uses the Gospel account of the Transfiguration, inviting readers to shape their lives along the story of Jesus and to continue his mission of love and peace. These practices have sustained him through his work with the homeless in Washington, D. C. , and New York City, as a human-rights advocate in Northern Ireland and Iraq, and on his many missions for peace in war-torn places around the world. Dividing the lifelong pursuit of peace into three distinct parts--an inner journey, a public journey, and the journey of all humanity--he delves into the challenges of learning to love ourselves as we are, diffusing the hatred we feel toward others, and embracing the choice to live in peace.
Transfigured: Patricia Sandoval's Escape from Drugs, Homelessness, and the Back Doors of Planned Parenthood
by Christine Watkins Patricia SandovalThe authors present the true story of Patricia Sandoval's journey from a secure, happy child to an unstable, tormented person who becames a homeless drug addict who had three abortions. It also describes her journey from this disturbed state to a drug-free, productive citizen. and sort-after church and public speaker who has dedicated her life to helping others, especially the unborn. According to Dr. Theresa Burke, "Authors Christine Watkins and Patricia Sandoval do an outstanding job of helping the reader follow each thread of Patricia Sandoval's powerful, moving, tumultuous life, as it twists into knots and circles back to find disconnected threads. Pursued and decorated by God's unrelenting mercy, the frayed and broken web of her story is untangled into a richly textured tapestry, perfectly ordered into His divine will. As Patricia comes close to Him and tries to flee His gaze, the reader will identify with the anxiety of laying down our common human fears to risk crossing the turbulent bridge of trusting God. This book is an adventure of surrender that will give you hope and reshape your ideas about what life is all about." Further, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone says: "Patricia Sandoval has a truly amazing story, one of sin and suffering, but also of grace and redemption. Above all, it is a reminder of how much God loves us, walks with us even when we stumble, and 'works all things to the good for those who love Him.' This well-written book is always engaging and has something to challenge and inspire each of us, particularly in support of God's littlest ones, the unborn." Not only is this book encapsulated with drama and pathos, the authors give factual information and provide the readers with insightful resources.
The Transfigured Kingdom: Sacred Parody and Charismatic Authority at the Court of Peter the Great (Studies of the Harriman Institute)
by Ernest A. ZitserIn this richly comparative analysis of late Muscovite and early Imperial court culture, Ernest A. Zitser provides a corrective to the secular bias of the scholarly literature about the reforms of Peter the Great. Zitser demonstrates that the tsar's supposedly "secularizing" reforms rested on a fundamentally religious conception of his personal political mission. In particular, Zitser shows that the carnivalesque (and often obscene) activities of the so-called Most Comical All-Drunken Council served as a type of Baroque political sacrament—a monarchical rite of power that elevated the tsar's person above normal men, guaranteed his prerogative over church affairs, and bound the participants into a community of believers in his God-given authority ("charisma"). The author suggests that by implicating Peter's "royal priesthood" in taboo-breaking, libertine ceremonies, the organizers of such "sacred parodies" inducted select members of the Russian political elite into a new system of distinctions between nobility and baseness, sacrality and profanity, tradition and modernity.Tracing the ways in which the tsar and his courtiers appropriated aspects of Muscovite and European traditions to suit their needs and aspirations, The Transfigured Kingdom offers one of the first discussions of the gendered nature of political power at the court of Russia's self-proclaimed "Father of the Fatherland" and reveals the role of symbolism, myth, and ritual in shaping political order in early modern Europe.
Transfinite Life: Oskar Goldberg and the Vitalist Imagination
by Bruce RosenstockOskar Goldberg was an important and controversial figure in Weimar Germany. He challenged the rising racial conception of the state and claimed that the Jewish people were on a metaphysical mission to defeat race-based statism. He attracted the attention of his contemporaries--Walter Benjamin, Gershom Scholem, Thomas Mann, and Carl Schmitt, among others--with the argument that ancient Israel's sacrificial rituals held the key to overcoming the tyranny of technology in the modern world. Bruce Rosenstock offers a sympathetic but critical philosophical portrait of Goldberg and puts him into conversation with Jewish and political figures that circulated in his cultural environment. Rosenstock reveals Goldberg as a deeply imaginative and broad-minded thinker who drew on biology, mathematics, Kabbalah, and his interests in ghost photography to account for the origin of the earth. Caricatured as a Jewish proto-fascist in his day, Goldberg's views of the tyranny of technology, biopolitics, and the "new vitalism" remain relevant to this day.

Transformando El amor: TRANSFORMANDO EL AMOR: ENTRE CRISTO Y EL CREYENTE TG
by DR Pensacola H JeffersonPara disfrutar verdaderamente el viaje cristiano, el creyente debe conocer la diferencia. Una relación no se trata de seguir un conjunto de reglas, sino de la reciprocidad entre personas unidas o en una unión con otra que implica amor genuino, compromiso, honestidad y fidelidad. "... te he amado con un amor eterno ..." (Jeremías 31: 3 NASB). “… Ciertamente, Él ama a la gente…” (Deuteronomio 33: 3 NASB). “… Dios ha dicho“ Nunca te dejaré; nunca te desampararé… ”(Hebreos 13: 5 NVI). "... Tu palabra es VERDAD (HONESTA) ..." (JUAN 17:17 RV). “… Permanece fiel [en sus relaciones de pacto], porque no puede negar quién es…” (2 Timoteo 2:13 NTV). La relación de “un solo espíritu” es una intimidad espiritual que solo puede ser entendida por revelación divina (a través del Espíritu Santo que mora en nosotros) y experimentada por fe (dependiendo del poder de su Palabra). “… POR FE (al depender de Dios, el Espíritu Santo que mora en nosotros) [tenemos el poder de] ... entender (o recibir conocimiento de revelación) que… lo que ahora vemos no provino de nada que pueda verse (la OBRA confirmadora del ESPÍRITU SANTO de Dios) ". (Hebreos 11 NLT). “… POR LA PALABRA (que activa la OBRA confirmadora del ESPÍRITU SANTO) del Señor [TODAS LAS COSAS VINIERON O LLEGARÁN A SER]…” (Salmos 33: 6 NASB). Tú, el creyente, estás "unido" a Dios a través de Jesucristo. Un cuerpo tiene muchas partes, pero solo cuando esas partes están unidas, forman un cuerpo. "... El amor ... es el VINCULO perfecto de unidad ..." (Colosenses 3:14 NASB). "Porque por un Espíritu, [somos] todos bautizados en un cuerpo ..." (1 Corintios 12:13). "... EL QUE ESTÁ UNIDO AL SEÑOR (Jesús, la Palabra de Dios) ES UN ESPÍRITU ... [con Dios otra vez] ..." (1 CORINTIOS 6:17 RV).
Transformando el sufrimiento: GUÍA PARA MAESTROS
by Dr Pensacola H JeffersonTransformando el sufrimiento: cristo ya lo hizo por ti. Este libro te dice cómo el sufrimiento demostrará qué o a quién amas "realmente". Satanás está listo y dispuesto a provocar los problemas que él cree que te pondrán en contra de Dios. Satanás le dijo a Dios acerca de Job: "...Pero extiende la mano y quítale todo lo que posee, ¡a ver si no te maldice en tu propia cara! "(JOB 1: 7-12 NVI). Sus acusaciones eran totalmente infundadas.
Transformando la Intimidad: Cristo "en" Ti te Transforma
by Pensacola Helene JeffersonMe gusta empezar mis libros pensando en algo. Si estás leyendo este libro, asumí que deseas experimentar una intimidad más profunda con Dios y con otros seres amados en tu vida. ¿Qué es esta intimidad? Saquemos el sexo del camino. El sexo no es la intimidad que más dura o importa. Es un acto de intimidad; que estaba destinado a expresar la relación que ya ha tenido lugar; entre dos corazones. El amor verdadero permite que la intimidad se desarrolle primero en el corazón y es por eso que los verdaderos amantes esperan el momento adecuado para tener relaciones sexuales. Cuando la intimidad se desarrolla en el corazón, primero, el amor será más fácil de mantener en el largo plazo de la relación. La Biblia no te sostiene del placer sexual, antes del matrimonio, como castigo, pero para que no te pierdas lo que realmente importa en el área de la intimidad: dos corazones que se convierten en uno, no dos simples cuerpos físicos. Si configura su experiencia de intimidad en torno al acto; encontrará la intimidad limitada a ese acto. Sin embargo, si configura su intimidad en torno al coito de dos corazones, durará más que el acto, que eventualmente cambiará con la edad de todos modos. No importa quién sea, no importa lo bueno que sea sexualmente, no importa cuán liberal sea al participar en el acto sexual, vendrá en busca de una intimidad real algún día.
Transformando sus Recursos: A la Única Fuente Verdadera
by Pensacola Helene JeffersonPensé que había terminado de escribir mi serie de libros transformadores, pero el Espíritu Santo me impulsó a escribir otro. Dios me inspiró cuando estaba en una celebración de cumpleaños con algunos amigos de la iglesia. Estaba sentado en una mesa con otras tres mujeres. Una dama era de una naturaleza particularmente alegre y divertida, recordándome a mí misma. Un hermano, que acababa de llegar a la fiesta, me preguntó si era mi hermana. Dije en broma: "Sí, ella es mi hermana-en-el-Señor ..." Me preguntaba por qué preguntó, porque no creía que nos pareciéramos físicamente, pero sí favorecíamos espiritualmente, así que algo me preguntó: ¿cuál era la semejanza? ? Por supuesto que mi mente espiritual se volvió loca. Lo pensé por el resto de la noche, soñé, me desperté pensando en eso, y ahora estoy escribiendo otro libro de dag burn. LOL. Ya expliqué en un libro anterior que mi libro TRANSFORMANDO EL AMOR trataba sobre la realidad del amor de Dios; mi libro TRANSFORMANDO LA INTIMIDAD trataba sobre la PRUEBA del amor de Dios; mi libro, TRANSFORMANDO EL SUFRIMIENTO trata sobre la PRUEBA de su amor por Dios y este libro TRANSFORMANDO SUS RECURSOS trata sobre la PRUEBA de su relación con Dios a través de Cristo.
The Transformation
by Terri KrausCan a good, hard-working Christian man disregard his cultural and religious admonitions--as well as his mother's plans for his life--for the love of a woman and an historic church building?Oliver Barnett is a good contractor, a good Christian, and an obedient son, never in trouble, never one to rock the boat ... until real estate developer Samantha Cohen enters his life. Samantha, full of life, vitality, and wit, is unlike any woman he has ever known--in more ways than one. Not only is she planning to transform an historic church near downtown Pittsburgh into a restaurant/nightclub, but she is Jewish and has a less-than-innocent past. Oliver finds himself in a most unsettling dilemma. Does he do what's right by the nice girl his mother has chosen for him, or does he do what his heart is telling him to do?
Transformation!: How Simple Bible Stories Provide In-Depth Answers for Life's Most Difficult Problems
by Troy ReinerOur society and churches are facing an increasing number of dysfunctional and emotionally hurting people with difficult, long-term psychological problems. Healing for these problems requires more than a few words of advice or some solution-focused therapy; it requires a life transformation. Unfortunately, most pastors and church counselors do not have in-depth Biblical answers for these complex problems. Consequently, most churches refer these problems to counselors outside of the church who rely primarily on secular counseling methods and theories, or psychoactive drugs. What is needed is a simple, yet in-depth, Biblical method for overcoming these complex problems that can be easily applied by pastors and counselors within the church. <p><p>This book provides just such a method with a new narrative Biblical approach for therapy and in-depth answers for counseling many of these difficult problems. This new method is developed directly from the Bible, relies on the overall direction of the Holy Spirit, and is based on Biblical truth derived from the stories of the lives of well-known Biblical characters. The final conclusion of this book is that God has provided in His word, through the types and shadows interpretation of these stories, all that is required to meet these desperate needs. <p><p>This book contains many new insights including a comprehensive plan for Christian counseling derived directly from the Bible, in-depth biblical answers for complex psychological problems based on the types and shadows interpretation of biblical stories, models and quick reference guides for counseling 20 of the most difficult problems in the church today including inferiority, abandonment, dysfunctional families, setting boundaries, six types of codependency, abuse, four types of addictions, bitterness, depression, grief, and suicide.
