"The R-Rated Theologian" is an anthology of unabashed Progressive Christian essays by Arik Bjorn, frequent contributor to Patheos and Forward Progressives. From same-sex marriage to Heaven & Hell to the biblical canon itself, the author tackles all of the sacred cows of Christian theology-including the dreaded Mark of the Beast, 666. (Or is it 616?) While dodging Adam's snake and Revelation's horny beast, Bjorn discovers a commonsense Progressive Christianity, where it's perfectly acceptable to stand beneath a Cloud of Unknowing without an umbrella, yet where age-old standards like Bible...

"Birds of a Feather: short stories & miscellany" is the debut work of fiction by Arik Bjorn, who recently ran for U.S. Congress as the 2016 Democratic Party / Green Party fusion candidate for South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District. With these five short stories and one slaphappily true essay, the author responds to his fundamentalist Christian background and counters with rebel angels ("Indiana"), resurrected humanists ("Vonnegut Lives ") and imbibing ministers ("Birds of a Feather")-plus divinely-disappeared red states and farting orange tabbies. Bjorn imagines a fresh Christian...

This book examines spatial language in sign languages (Turkish Sign Language, Croatian Sign Language, American Sign Language, and Austrian Sign Language) and spoken languages (Turkish, English, and Croatian). The book presents a novel model, the Crossmodal Spatial Language, to account for similarities and differences in these languages. The model, which consists of Spatial Representations, Reference Frames, Temporal Representations, Conceptual Structure, and Linguistic Representations, shows that the features from spatial input are not necessarily mapped on the spatial descriptions regardless...

Grüne Marsmenschen und telepathische Cyborgs kennen wir nur aus der Science-Fiction, die wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen einfachen bakteriellen Lebens auf anderen Planeten erscheinen dagegen alles andere als aufregend. Doch wie könnte extraterrestrisches Leben, das komplexer ist als Einzeller, wirklich aussehen? Dieser Frage nähert sich der britische Zoologe Arik Kershenbaum ebenso wissenschaftlich wie spielerisch an. Geleitet wird er dabei von der Überzeugung, dass im All nicht nur die universellen Gesetze der Physik und Chemie gelten, sondern auch die der Biologie. Kenntnisreich und...

In his new book, "Why Bad Things Happen to Good Parrots," Arik Bjorn is determined to dig his way to the center of the theological mountain-even if all he has is a trusty garden trowel: "I have always wanted to aim my keyboard directly at the Creator and ask several pointed questions not about how to live, but about why we are alive." In the title essay, "Why Bad Things Happen to Good Parrots," Bjorn presents a heartfelt reflection 20 years in the making on Theodicy, or the Problem of Evil, "under the collective shadow of Aslan, Frodo and Freddy Kreuger." In "Magic Chickens, Lemon Seeds & a...

Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Englisch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1.0, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wahrscheinlich wunscht sich jeder Mensch ein gluckliches und erfolgreiches Leben. Doch wie ist das zu erreichen? Um glucklich sein zu konnen, muss man naturlich erst einmal wissen, was einen glucklich macht. Die eigenen Wunsche und Vorstellungen, sprich die eigene Personlichkeit, zu kennen, ist dafur naturlich essentiell. Doch fur manche Menschen fuhrt der Weg zu Gluck und Zufriedenheit vielleicht eher in eine Sackgasse, in der sie mit sich selbst und der Gesellschaft um...

In The Subjunctive Mood in Arabic Grammatical Thought Arik Sadan outlines the grammatical theories on the naṣb (subjunctive mood) in Classical Arabic. Examining over 160 treatises written by 85 grammarians, lexicographers and Qurʾān commentators, the author defines and characterizes the opinions of medieval Arab grammarians concerning this mood in the verbal system of Classical Arabic.
