The Law of Undulation


Book Description

King David wrote "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil". The concept or principle of valley and mountain-top experiences in the life journey of a believer is one that often generates theological and doctrinal debate within the body of Christ. In this book Femi examines the lives of four bible individuals (King David and Prime Minister Joseph of Egypt, versus King Saul and King Solomon); two with known valley experiences before they got to their purpose and two without recorded valley experiences before they got to their purpose on earth, the conclusion and how valley experiences (or lack of) affected each person's assignment is very revealing. This book carefully mixed the author's (and others) personal experiences along with biblical examples to highlight "valley and mountain-top" principle. The book answers the following questions as well, what a valley is, why valleys are necessary in the life of a believer, the plan of the enemy for a Christian in the valley and what Christians are supposed to do in their valley? William Femi Awodele is the executive director of Christian Couples Fellowship International, Inc. He is the author of seven other books (most on relationship), including two novels, "Agapao" and "Power of Forgiveness". Femi is married to his Olatokunbo Abike (a family physician), and they are blessed with three children, Ibukunoluwa, Fiyinfoluwa and Ebunoluwa.

The Pragmatism and Prejudice of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.


Book Description

This book investigates the extent to which various scholarly labels are appropriate for the work of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. As Louis Menand wrote, “Holmes has been called a formalist, a positivist, a utilitarian, a realist, a historicist, a pragmatist, (not to mention a nihilist).” Each of the eight chapters investigates one label, analyzes the secondary texts that support the use of the term to characterize Holmes’s philosophy, and takes a stand on whether or not the category is appropriate for Holmes by assessing his judicial and nonjudicial publications, including his books, articles, and posthumously published correspondences. The thrust of the collection as a whole, nevertheless, bends toward the stance that Holmes is a pragmatist in his jurisprudence, ethics, and politics. The final chapter, by Susan Haack, makes that case explicitly. Edited by Seth Vannatta, this book will be of particular interest to students and faculty working in law, jurisprudence, philosophy, intellectual history, American Studies, political science, and constitutional theory.




The Three Ps of Liberty

Journey Towards Home


Book Description

Clives Staples Lewis (1898-1963) called his theological writings as that "of a layman and an amateur" who merely attempted to restate "ancient and orthodox doctrines." However, S. Steve Park argues that Lewis's theological reflections are well-informed, thoughtful and weighty. For instance, Lewis's notion of "mere Christianity" consistently shows his commitment to "supernaturalism" (vs. naturalism) and "eucatastrophic salvationism" (vs. ethical developmentalism) in sharp contrast to many prevailing theologians of his time. In this book, the author expounded Lewis's theological writings rather comprehensively and organized the results according to Lewis's signature literary motif of the journey towards home, in four stages: "Away from Home," "Homeward Turning," "Home Away from Home," and "The Final Home." Under these headings, Lewis's major theological and literary themes find illuminating treatments with rich contents and penetrating analyses. In so doing, the author presents to the readers, probably for the first time, a systematic theology of C. S. Lewis. It turns out that Lewis, more than just a storyteller, was a significant participant in the world of theological reflections, demonstrating himself to be a rather formidable theological mind to be reckoned with.
