Comparative Theology Among Multiple Modernities: Cultivating Phenomenological Imagination
Author: Paul S. Chung
File Type: pdf
This book presents a heuristic and critical study of comparative theology in engagement with phenomenological methodology and sociological inquiry. It elucidates a postcolonial study of religion in the context of multiple modernities. **Review Without doubt Pauls fine and creative work represents the best of the Christian theology of religions tradition. What it does is to help interested fellow thinkers to appreciate new connections between ideas usually not brought together, to consider fresh perspectives on the questions of religious diversity, andsimply putto be fed by solid theological-philosophical-religious nutrition! (Veli-Matti Karkkainen, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA) A widely read and dependable interpreter of other scholars, Paul S. Chung draws upon insights from philosophy, sociology, and hermeneutics to construct an original approach to theological phenomenology as a method for doing comparative theology. He demonstrates the fruitfulness of phenomenological imagination, for example, by juxtaposing theology of the cross to Buddhist compassion and a post-colonial ethics of solidarity to Confucian ethics. This volume provides an original contribution to interreligious studies at the interface of multiple modernities, practicing comparative theology with respect and keen insight and thereby opening a path for others to follow in engaging texts from other religions with integrity. (Craig L. Nessan, Wartburg Theological Seminary, USA) Comparative Theology among Multiple Modernities brings a fresh perspective to comparative theology by approaching interreligious theological learning from a Protestant Christian perspective, with deep roots in Lutheran and Barthian perspectives on God and the world, theology and religions. Chungs sensitivity to the variety of modernities, enriched by learning from figures as diverse as Ernst Troeltsch, Max Weber, and Emmanuel Levinas, gives a timely ethical and political edge to his interpretation of comparative theology. A fruit of this interesting work is Chungs fresh reading of East Asian intellectual traditions, including a re-reassessment of Shinrans Amida Buddhist Protestantism, and the political ethics of Mencius. This is a new and notable addition to the growing literature of comparative theological study as it matures and diversifies. (Francis X. Clooney, SJ., Harvard Divinity School, USA) In this enormously rich, creative and ambitious book, Paul S. Chung casts his net widely. Working from a theological center in Karl Barth, he tackles many social, political, philosophical and religious themes. The range is astonishing Luther in relation to Buddhism, multiple modernities, comparative theologies, postcolonial revisions of Christian mission, Confucianism, Weber, Foucault, Geertz, Troeltsch, and more. Multiple misconceptions about Barth are exploded along the way. Chung locates himself in the relatively neglected theological interpretive tradition inspired by Gollwitzer and Marquardt. This is a welcome work that will need to be grappled with for years to come. (George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA) From the Back Cover This book presents a heuristic and critical study of comparative theology in engagement with phenomenological methodology and sociological inquiry. It elucidates a postcolonial study of religion in the context of multiple modernities.

Author: Roy Germano

Rising food prices, climate change, and the ravages of global capitalism have made the poor increasingly vulnerable to economic crises. At the same time, the governments of many developing countries have adopted austerity measures that leave their citizens without a safety net in times of need. This combination poses a potent threat to social and political stability throughout the developing world. How do the poor cope with economic crises when their governments fail to guarantee social welfare? How do societies keep from fracturing under the weight of economic grievances and civil unrest? Outsourcing Welfare argues that the answers to these questions lie with remittances, the hundreds of billions of dollars that international migrants send to their home countries. Remittances are a leading source of income in dozens of developing economies and a critical lifeline that millions of families use to pay for food, healthcare, clothing, and other basics. In the absence of adequate government social protections, remittances insulate poor families from the full pain of economic crises, and in doing so, reduce the severity of grievances that fuel populist anger, civil unrest, and political instability. Through stories from his fieldwork in Mexico and Central America and analyses of data from Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, Roy Germano shows how remittances buffer economic shocks, contribute to economic optimism, and dampen the threat of popular discontent during economic crises. Germano argues that remittances perform a social, economic, and political function that is strikingly similar to social spending, and that counting on people to migrate and send money home has become a de facto social welfare policy in many developing countries. **

DEVIL
14921
Author: Joshua Green
File Type: epub
From the reporter who was there at the very beginning comes the revealing inside story of the partnership between Steve Bannon and Donald Trumpthe key to understanding the rise of the alt-right, the fall of Hillary Clinton, and the hidden forces that drove the greatest upset in American political history. Based on dozens of interviews conducted over six years, Green spins the master narrative of the 2016 campaign from its origins in the far fringes of right-wing politics and reality television to its culmination inside Trumps penthouse on election night. The shocking elevation of Bannon to head Trumps flagging presidential campaign on August 17, 2016, hit political Washington like a thunderclap and seemed to signal the meltdown of the Republican Party. Bannon was a bomb-throwing pugilist whod never run a campaign and was despised by Democrats and Republicans alike. Yet Bannons hard-edged ethno-nationalism and his elaborate, years-long plot to destroy Hillary Clinton paved the way for Trumps unlikely victory. Trump became the avatar of a dark but powerful worldview that dominated the airwaves and spoke to voters whom others couldnt see. Trumps campaign was the final phase of a populist insurgency that had been building up in America for years, and Bannon, its inscrutable mastermind,believed it was the culmination of a hard-right global uprising that would change the world. Any study of Trumps rise to the presidency is unavoidably a study of Bannon. Devils Bargain is a tour-de-force telling of the remarkable confluence of circumstances that decided the election, many of them orchestrated by Bannon and his allies, who really did plot a vast, right-wing conspiracy to stop Clinton. To understand Trumps extraordinary rise and Clintons fall, you have to weave Trumps story together with Bannons, or else it doesnt make sense. **

THE G

Author: Ernest Hemingway
File Type: pdf
A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the Cote dAzur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary, The Garden of Eden represents vintage Hemingway, the master doing what nobody did better (R. Z. Sheppard, Time).From Publishers WeeklyAn edited version of a narrative abandoned by the Nobel laureate, The Garden of Eden is about a young American couple in Europe on an extended honeymoon. PW stated that while the manuscript is of scholarly interest, it does not hold up as a bona fide Hemingway novel. 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library JournalA few shards survive in the sandy ruins of Hemingways garden of Eden the pastoral and sensual delights of loving and swimming in Provence and Spain the pleasure the hero, a novelist, feels when he writes truly about his father and hunting in Africa. The rest is madness, cruelty, and corruption. Unfortunately, neither the joy nor the terror profoundly engages the reader. The bisexual grotesqueries that bind David Bourne, his antic wife, and their complaisant woman lover are for the most part silly or banal, not even sufficiently bizarre to shock. What we have here is juiceless gossip. As fiction, the book utterly failsclumsily plotted, thematically vague and indecisive, the characters unfleshed caricatures. Even Hemingways lyrical eloquence is stripped to frayed cliches. How then to justify publishing an edited version of a manuscript Hemingway labored over unsuccessfully for 15 years? Arthur Waldhorn, English Dept., City Coll., CUNY 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. None

TASTE
26214
Author: Emelyn Rude
File Type: epub
From the domestication of the bird nearly ten thousand years ago to its current status as our go-to meat, the history of this seemingly commonplace bird is anything but ordinary.How did chicken achieve the culinary ubiquity it enjoys today? Its hard to imagine, but there was a point in history, not terribly long ago, that individual people each consumed less than ten pounds of chicken per year. Today, those numbers are strikingly different we consumer nearly twenty-five times as much chicken as our great-grandparents did. Collectively, Americans devour 73.1 million pounds of chicken in a day, close to 8.6 billion birds per year. How did chicken rise from near-invisibility to being in seemingly every pot, as per Herbert Hoovers famous promise?Emelyn Rude explores this fascinating phenomenon in Tastes Like Chicken. With meticulous research, Rude details the ascendancy of chicken from its humble origins to its centrality on grocery store shelves and in restaurants and kitchens. Along the way, she reveals startling key points in its history, such as the moment it was first stuffed and roasted by the Romans, how the ancients obsession with cockfighting helped the animal reach Western Europe, and how slavery contributed to the ubiquity of fried chicken today.In the spirit of Mark Kurlanskys Cod and Bee Wilsons Consider the Fork, Tastes Like Chicken is a fascinating, clever, and surprising discourse on one of Americas favorite foods.**ReviewRude lays out the fascinating history of how a once-maligned bird became a staple of the American dinner plate. Rude has a great eye for the strange moments along the way. A fine window into how our ancestors cooked, ate, and thought. (Boston Globe) In a breezy narrative brimming with retro recipes, culinary historian Rude focuses on the history of US chicken consumption, currently 8.6 billion birds a year. From New York immigrants foul ornithological parks of the 1880s and 1890s to the rise in global demandwhich can push production at the expense of animal welfareRude reveals chicken as a troublesome taste. (Nature) The irrepressible yardbird struts through Tastes Like Chicken as Emelyn Rude engagingly explains how this descendant of dinosaurs became the default American dinner. (Joyce E. Chaplin, Harvard University, author of Round About the Earth) A fun and smart read. As one of the most popular ingredients in the world, I found it fascinating to explore the history of how we eat and cook this bird has evolved over the centuries. Emelyn Rude is a brilliant writer and by far the most whimsical chicken historian I have ever met. (Einat Admony, chef and owner for the Balaboosta and Bar Bolonat, author of the Balaboosta cookbook) Until now, Ive never read such a comprehensive look at one of my favorite foods and a protein that is so integral to any kitchen. Emelyn does a fantastic job of explaining why chicken is such an important part of our countrys culinary fabric. (Marcus Samuelsson, James Beard Award-winning chef, author of Yes, Chef) A food historian with a feature writers flair illuminates the culinary history of the now-ubiquitous chicken.Though the chicken would seem to be a subject that everybody knows about, Rude makes the humble birds story fresh and interesting on nearly every page. Rude finds the bird as fascinating as she makes it for readers. (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Reviews) Readers of food histories such as Mark Kurlanskys Cod will appreciate this engaging, well-researched, and thorough history of Americas changing food preferences. (Library Journal) About the Author Emelyn Rude has been a food writer for TIME andVice and media manager for some of New York Citys most acclaimed chefs and restaurateurs. She is a contributor to National GeographicsThe Plate and is a National Geographic Young Explorer. This is her first book.

ELFRI
15598
Author: Elizabeth Norton
File Type: epub
Contrary to popular belief, Anglo- Saxon England had queens, with the tenth-century Elfrida being the most powerful and notorious of them all. She was the first woman to be crowned Queen of England, sharing her husband King Edgars imperial coronation at Bath in 973. The couple made a love match, with claims that they plotted the death of her first husband to ensure that she was free. Edgar divorced his second wife, a former nun, after conducting an adulterous affair with Elfrida, leading to an enmity between the two women that lasted until their deaths. During her marriage Elfrida claimed to be the kings only legitimate wife, but she failed to secure the succession for her son, Ethelred. Elfrida was implicated in the murder of her stepson, King Edward the Martyr, who died on a visit to her at Corfe Castle. She then ruled England on behalf of her young son for six years before he expelled her from court. Elfrida was eventually able to return to court but, since he proved himself unable to counter the Viking attacks, she may have come to regret winning the crown for Ethelred the Unready. Wife, mother, murderer, ruler, crowned queen. The life of Queen Elfrida was filled with drama as she rose to become the most powerful woman in Anglo-Saxon England.
