Dammed Divinities: The Water Powers at Bujagali Falls, Uganda
ISBN: 9789171067685 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The damming of Bujagali Falls, located only eight kilometers north of the outlet of Lake Victoria, is seen as one of the most controversial projects in modern times. In 2012, the dam was eventually inaugurated after years of anti-dam opposition and delays. A unique aspect of the controversy was the role of the locally resident river spirit Budhagaali in blocking the dam and opposing the destruction of the waterfalls, which had been its home. Terje Oestigaard describes how a water spirit can block an almost billion dollar dam and also recounts the ritual drama behind the repeated efforts to...

The Spirit Driven Church
ISBN: 9781498241670 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Must the church be either charismatic or sacramental? In this book, Terje Hegertun argues that she has the privilege of being both. The Day of Pentecost formed her identity and shaped her conviction of being lifted on the arms of grace and pushed forward by the power from on high. In the midst of her vulnerability and failure, the worldwide faith community is a composition of the Spirit. One of the greatest gifts the church may offer the world is simply to be church: a charismatic-sacramental fellowship, a dwelling place of God's Spirit. A church nurtured by graceful charismatic and...

Water, Christianity and the Rise of Capitalism
ISBN: 9781780760667 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Christian religion is deeply imbued with the imagery of water, and water plays a central role in its religious practices, not least in baptism. Yet the wider role of water in Christianity has been little explored. In this pioneering book, Terje Oestigaard uses the dramatic changes that took place in perceptions of water during the Reformation to reveal the importance that water played in structuring society and religion in the post-Reformation period. He concludes by examining, and challenging, the widely accepted view that the capitalist spirit of enterprise - so important to the...

ISBN: 9783639306743 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The social and political transition that came with the fall of apartheid in South Africa had tremendous significance for the media. The media were actively engaged in the discussion of what role they should serve in the newfound democracy. This book is the result of a research project that scrutinzed more than 100 articles that appeared in the South African press in the post-apartheid years 1996-99. Two main discourses were identified: the watchdog discourse and the nation-building discourse. Those who propagated the watchdog discourse - mainly media representatives - favoured...
