Beyond the Centaur
ISBN: 9781625644206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 131 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Beyond the Centaur questions the accuracy and usefulness of the virtually unquestioned ancient consensus that persons are composed of unequally valued, hierarchically stacked antagonistic components, usually soul or mind and body. Part I explores the gradual historical development of this notion of person. Part II consists of a thought experiment, examining an understanding of persons, not as stacked components, but as intelligent bodies--one entity. It explores how a new understanding of persons can affect in important and fruitful ways how we live: how we move, feel, think, believe, and...

ISBN: 9780807010310 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What did Thelma and Louise say to a society anxious about gender roles and sexual harassment? What did The Piano propose to a society experiencing backlash in equal opportunities for women and minorities? This text explores how recent movies express ideas about religion, relationships, and society. In-depth examinations of 15 recent popular films, as well as their production and critical reception, reveal patterns in their treatment of religion, relationships, race, and gender. It shows how filmmakers sought to defy those conventions; where they succeeded and where they failed.

Rereading Historical Theology: Before, During, and After Augustine
ISBN: 9781556352164 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Description: Augustine of Hippo is arguably the most influential author in the history of Christian thought and institutions. Yet he has been revered by some reviewers and vilified by others. Contemporary critical approaches to historical authors can illuminate features of Augustine's thought and activities that are not noticed when reviewers' attention is either exclusively sympathetic or intransigently critical. Anyone who seeks to present an Augustine who has relevance for the twenty-first century must somehow hold together delight in the beauty of his prose and the profundity of his...

Looking at painting and sculpture from the fourteenth through the eighteenth centuries, this provocative work focuses on the symbolism of the female breast to open a dazzling interpretive view of Western European history over four centuries. Margaret R. Miles finds that while in 1350 the Virgin's bare breast represented nourishment and loving careGod's provision for the Christianby 1750, artistic representations of the breast were either erotic or medical. The breast had lost its meaning as a religious symbol. But how did the breast, and nakedness more generally, lose the ability to represent...

Bodies in Society: Essays on Christianity in Contemporary Culture
ISBN: 9781556354212 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Description:
Education is about learning to think. Much of what we call thinking, however, is a hodge-podge of repetitious self-talk, opinion, and cutting and pasting of second-hand ideas. Moreover, thinking in the present has often been alien to scholars who were tempted to think abstractly. But life and thought belong together and require each other, as Plotinus pointed out many centuries ago: ""[T]he object of contemplation is living and life, and the two together are one"" (Ennead 3.8.8). Presently, many women and men in the academic world are thinking concretely within the context of... Description:

The Wendell Cocktail: Depression, Addiction, and Beauty
ISBN: 9781610977319 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Description: The Wendell Cocktail describes a major social problem, exemplified by the journals of a person with coexisting conditions--mental illness and addiction. Although there are resources for people with each of these conditions--psychiatry for mental illness and twelve-step programs for addiction--there are few effective resources for people with both. Since about half of the mentally ill medicate with an addiction, an increasingly large percentage of the American population is left without adequate care. Wendell's journals illuminate the complexity of a tormented mind that is...
