Book Description

"Intricately Connected contains academic papers presented by Kim at various international conferences in the fields of biblical studies, literary criticism, and intertextuality. The articles examine the question of how various literatures connect to consciousness and culture at personal and collective levels. The focus is on the functionality of literature across time and space and addresses such questions as: How do later books of the Bible, such as Jeremiah, utilize consciousness and ideas from earlier times, such as those found in the book Deuteronomy? How does Toni Morrison link African-American experience of today with experience of slavery hundreds of years ago? How does the film Da Vinci Code (2006) assess and manipulate the received tradition of the Lord's Supper?"--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description

The solution to your problems starts with connecting to yourself. An inspirational guide to a powerful meditation method for greater clarity, consciousness, and spiritual growth by New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned meditation teacher Ilchi Lee. Are you feeling stuck in your current situation or your life in general? Are you having trouble managing stress? Have you sought answers at spiritual retreats without getting the clarity you need? Relief can be closer than you think if you reframe how you look at your problems. New York Times bestselling author Ilchi Lee proposes there is one root cause to all the troubles plaguing us—separation. We put up walls in every aspect of our lives, isolating ourselves. Those walls keep us from forming healthy relationships with others, with nature, and even with ourselves. But separation has a simple cure—finding a way to connect. In Connect: How to Find Clarity and Expand Your Consciousness with Pineal Gland Meditation, Lee shows how to connect to your authentic self through the pineal gland in your brain. Activate your pineal gland through the meditations rooted in an ancient Korean tradition that Ilchi Lee describes in this book. You’ll experience clarity instead of emotion, compassion rather than judgment, and wholeness in place of separation. This book will help you find the solutions you seek by opening the inner eye that leads to greater clarity regarding the health of your body, the dreams of your soul, and the wisdom of your spirit.

Book Description

Staging West German Democracy examines how political “founding discourses” of the nascent Federal Republic (FRG) were reflected, reinforced, and actively manufactured by the Federal government in conjunction with the West German, state-controlled newsreel system, the Deutsche Wochenschau. By looking at the institutional history of the Deutsche Wochenschau and its close relationship to the Federal Press Office, Jan Uelzmann traces the Adenauer administration's project of maintaining a “government channel” in an increasingly diverse, de-centralized, and democratic West German media landscape. Staging West German Democracy reconstructs the company's integral role in the planning, production, and dissemination of pro-government PR, and through detailed analyses reveals the films to celebrate the FRG as an economically successful and internationally connected democracy under Adenauer's leadership. Apart from providing election propaganda for Adenauer's CDU party, these films provided an important stabilizing factor for the FRG's project of explaining and promoting democracy to its citizens, and of defining its public image against the backdrops of the Third Reich past and a competing, contemporary incarnation of German nationhood, the German Democratic Republic (GDR). In this regard, Staging West German Democracy adds in important ways to our understanding of the media's role in the West German nation building process.

Book Description

The subject of women’s roles throughout history has been extensively debated, with each era bringing forth its own interpretation of what it means to be a woman. This book, Women Through Time: Re-evaluating Ancient, Traditional, Modern, and Contemporary Feminine Ideals, dares to question the prevailing assumption that the most recent forms of womanhood are necessarily the most liberating or empowered. Instead, this work examines the evolution of women’s roles across four major historical periods—ancient, traditional, modern, and contemporary—and challenges the reader to consider which era truly offered women the greatest sense of fulfillment, purpose, and societal value. The inspiration for this book arose from a growing dissatisfaction with mainstream narratives that often dismiss traditional and ancient forms of womanhood as merely repressive or regressive. Modern discussions of gender equality and empowerment tend to overlook the nuanced ways women have historically wielded power, influenced culture, and shaped their communities. My goal with this book is not to diminish the achievements of modern women’s rights movements, but to reframe the conversation around what it means to live as a "successful" woman in society. Through detailed analysis, this work aims to give fair consideration to each form of womanhood, be it as an ancient priestess, a traditional homemaker, a modern feminist, or a contemporary activist.

Book Description

Moving back through Dewey, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Rousseau, the lineage of Western music education finds its origins in Plato and Pythagoras. Yet theories not rooted in the ancient Greek tradition are all but absent. A Way of Music Education provides a much-needed intervention, integrating ancient Chinese thought into the canon of music education in a structured, systematized, and philosophical way. The book's three central sources - the Yijing (The Book of Changes), Confucianism, and Daoism - inform author C. Victor Fung's argument: that the human being exists as an entity at the center of an organismic world in which all things and events, including music and music education, are connected. Fung ultimately proposes a new educational philosophy based on three key ideas in Chinese thought: change, balance, and liberation. A unique work, A Way of Music Education offers a universal approach engrained in a specific and ancient cultural tradition.

Book Description

Faith can be shaken by trauma. R.J. Burton knows this well. As a young teen, she experienced abuse at the hands of an older man. The trial that ensued exonerated the perpetrator while condemning the victim in the eyes of her community, sending her into a spiral of doubt in herself, in God, and in supposedly Christ-loving people. Why do some followers of Christ judge and deny their brothers and sisters? How do misrepresentations of Christianity harm victims? Why does a supposedly just society perpetuate the revictimization of abuse survivors? And what does the concept of free will have to do with any of it? These are the questions R.J. tries to answer as she reflects on her life and embarks on a journey from faith lost to faith rediscovered—a journey that will resonate with other “faithful sinners” who may be questioning their own relationships with God.
