Here is a selction of titles recently added to the collection and ready for use.<\/p>\r\n

A new cli\"\"mate for Christology: kenosis, climate change, and befriending nature<\/a> \/Sallie McFague <\/strong>McFague summarizes the work of a lifetime with a clear call to live in such a way that all might flourish. The way, she argues, is the kenotic interpretation of Christianity: the odd arrangement whereby in order to gain your life, you must lose it. A masterful and life-giving summing-up of a theology that makes a profound difference for us, our communities, and our planet.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0A place at the table: faith, hope and hospitality<\/a> \/Miranda Harris, Jo Swinney<\/strong> Harris and Swinney re-define hospitality for the modern age. Drawing on biblical insights and a deep well of experience – most significantly within the community in the A Rocha family – this is a warm invitation to embrace the loving kindness of others.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0American apostles: when evangelicals entered the world of Islam<\/a> \/Christine Leigh Heyrman. <\/strong>Heyrman brilliantly chronicles the first fateful collision between American missionaries and the diverse religious cultures of the Levant. American Apostles<\/em> brings to life evangelicals’ first encounters with the Middle East and uncovers their complicated legacy. The political and religious consequences of that outcome endure to this day.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Autobiography as Indigenous intellectual tradition: Cree and M\u00e9tis \u00e2cimisowina<\/a> \/Deanna Reder. <\/strong>Autobiography as Indigenous Intellectual Tradition<\/em> critiques ways of approaching Indigenous texts that are informed by the Western academic tradition and offers instead a new way of theorizing Indigenous literature based on the Indigenous practice of life writing. Reder calls attention to longstanding autobiographical practices that are engrained in Cree and M\u00e9tis, or n\u00eahiyawak, culture and examining a series of examples of Indigenous life writing.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Canadian law and Indigenous self-determination: a naturalist analysis<\/a> \/Gordon Christie. <\/strong>Canadian Law and Indigenous Self-Determination<\/em> demonstrates how, over the last few decades, Canadian law has attempted to remove Indigenous sovereignty from the Canadian legal and social landscape. Christie responds to questions about how to theorize this legal phenomenon, and how the study of law should accommodate the presence of diverse perspectives. Exploring the socially-constructed nature of Canadian law, Christie reveals how legal meaning, understood to be the outcome of a specific society, is being reworked to devalue the capacities of Indigenous societies. Addressing liberal positivism and critical postcolonial theory, Canadian Law and Indigenous Self-Determination<\/em> considers the way in which Canadian jurists, working within a world circumscribed by liberal thought, have deployed the law in such a way as to attempt to remove Indigenous meaning-generating capacity.–<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Canadian music and American culture: get away from me<\/span><\/strong><\/a> \/Tristanne Connolly, Tomoyuki Iino, editors. <\/strong>This collection explores Canadian music’s commentaries on American culture. \u00a0Literature scholars apply textual and cultural analysis to a selection of Anglo-Canadian music – from Joni Mitchell to Peaches, via such artists as Neil Young, Rush, and the Tragically Hip – to explore the generic borrowings and social criticism, the desires and failures of Canada’s musical relationship with the USA.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Christian higher education: an empirical guide<\/a> \/Perry L. Glanzer, Theodore F. Cockle, and Jessica Martin. <\/strong>This guidebook introduces the Operationalizing Christian Identity Guide (OCIG), a comprehensive tool that identifies, ranks, and evaluates the significant ways Christian colleges and universities operationalize their Christian identity to make mission, marketing, membership, curriculum, cocurricular, and other decisions. This book provides access to an online spreadsheet of OCIG scores updated in real-time for all Christian colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Circles and the cross: cosmos, consciousness, Christ, and the human place in creation<\/a> \/Loren Wilkinson ; foreword by Peter Harris. <\/strong>Wilkinson, drawing on fifty years of teaching and writing about our relationship to creation, invites you to join this journey into understanding how the cross of Christ sheds light on the mysteries that surround us–and gives us hope in a difficult age.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Classical Islamic philosophy: a thematic introduction<\/a> \/Luis Xavier L\u00f3pez-Farjeat. <\/strong>This thematic introduction to classical Islamic philosophy focuses on the most prevalent philosophical debates of the medieval Islamic world and their importance within the history of philosophy. The Routledge Companion to Islamic Philosophy<\/em> makes classical Islamic philosophy approachable for both the new and returning student of the history of philosophy, medieval philosophy, the history of ideas, classical Islamic intellectual history, and the history of religion.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Contesting the Iranian revolution: the green uprisings<\/a> \/Pouya Alimagham. <\/strong>Most observers of Iran viewed the Green Uprisings of 2009 as a ‘failed revolution.\u201d Alimagham re-examines this evaluation, deconstructing the conventional win\/lose binary interpretations in a way which underscores the subtle but important victories on the ground, and reveals how Iran’s modern history imbues those triumphs with consequential meaning. Focusing on the men and women who made this dynamic history, and who exist at the centre of these contentious politics, this ‘history from below’ brings to the fore the post-Islamist discursive assault on the government’s symbols of legitimation. Alimagham harnesses the wider history of Iran and the Middle East to highlight how activists contested the Islamic Republic’s legitimacy to its very core–.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Cultivating happiness, resilience, and well-being through meditation, mindfulness, and movement: a guide for educators<\/span><\/strong><\/a> \/Christine Mason, Jeffrey Donald, Krishna Kaur Khalsa, et al. <\/strong>With this practical, research-based guide, you’ll incorporate age- and grade-appropriate meditation, breathing, mindfulness, and secular yoga activities into your teaching, in ways that work for in-person as well as virtual and hybrid settings.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Culture and medicine: critical readings in the health and medical humanities<\/span><\/strong><\/a> \/edited by Rishi Goyal and Arden Hegele. <\/strong>This book engages with the question of how biomedical knowledge is constructed, negotiated, and circulated as a cultural practice. The volume is composed of a series of pathbreaking inter-disciplinary essays that bring sociocultural habits of mind and modes of thought to the study of medicine, health and patients. These essays dissect the ways that cultural practices define the limits of health and the body<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Disciples and friends: investigations in disability, dementia, and mental health : essays in honor of John Swinton<\/a> \/Armand L\u00e9on van Ommen and Brian R. Brock, editors. <\/strong>Swinton presses one question with a special intensity: What does it mean to be human? The chapters in this volume display why this question unifies his wide-ranging corpus of work and show how Swinton has answered it in the various domains he has explored. The volume brings together renowned scholars who know not only Swinton’s work but also him as a person. This knowledge enables contributors to insightfully link Swinton’s work to the life he has lived and to suggest promising avenues for further development of his signature ideas.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Divination and philosophy in the letters of Paul<\/a> \/Matthew T. Sharp.<\/strong> This book analyses the apostle Paul’s claims to receive and interpret knowledge from divine sources within the context of divination in the Graeco-Roman world. Each chapter studies a particular aspect of divination in Paul’s letters in comparison with similar phenomena in the Graeco-Roman world, dealing in turn with the underlying logic of divination, visionary experience, prophecy and divine speech, the divinatory use of texts and the interpretation of signs.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Encyclopedia of the Black Death<\/span><\/strong><\/a> \/Joseph P. Byrne. <\/strong>This encyclopedia provides 300 interdisciplinary, cross-referenced entries that document the effect of the plague on Western society across the four centuries of the second plague pandemic, balancing medical history and technical matters with historical, cultural, social, and political factors.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Engaging the rewired brain<\/a> \/David A. Sousa. <\/strong>Sousa offers research-based, practical solutions and provides a framework for educators who want to effectively leverage technology to enhance student learning in an environment that demands constant engagement and stimulation.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Finding dignity at the end of life: a spiritual reflection on palliative care<\/span><\/strong><\/a> \/edited by Kathleen Benton and Renzo Pegoraro. <\/strong>Finding Dignity at the End of Life<\/em> discusses the need for palliative care as a human right and explores a whole-person methodology for use in treatment. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0The Oxford handbook of moral responsibility<\/a> \/edited by Dana Kay Nelkin and Derk Pereboom. <\/strong>The Oxford Handbook of Moral Responsibility<\/em> is a collection of 33 articles by leading international scholars on the topic of moral responsibility and its main forms, praiseworthiness and blameworthiness.

Here is a selection of titles recently added to the collection and ready for use.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Philosophy and the climate crisis: how the past can save the present<\/a> \/Byron Williston. <\/strong>This book explores how the history of philosophy can orient us to the new reality brought on by the climate crisis.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Reading the Bible in Islamic context: Qur\u02bcanic conversations<\/a> \/edited by Danny Crowther, Shirin Shafaie, Ida Glaser and Shabbir Akhtar. <\/strong>This book explores the ways in which an awareness of Islam and the Qur’an can change the way in which the Bible is read. The contributors come from both Muslim and Christian backgrounds, bring various levels of commitment to the Qur’an and the Bible as Scripture, and often have significantly different perspectives. A pioneering venture into intertextual reading, this book has important implications for relationships between Christians and Muslims<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Renewal worship: a theology of Pentecostal doxology<\/a> \/Steven F\u00e9lix-J\u00e4ger. <\/strong>F\u00e9lix-J\u00e4ger offers a theology of renewal worship, including its biblical foundations, how its global nature is expressed in particular localities, and how charismatic worship shapes the community of faith.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Scholarly podcasting: why, what, how?<\/a> \/Ian M. Cook. <\/strong>Exploring what academic podcasting is and what it could be, this book is the first to consider the why, what, and how academics engage with this insurgent, curious craft. This book will also inform, inspire, and equip scholars of any discipline, rank, or affiliation who are considering making a podcast or who make podcasts with the background knowledge and technical and conceptual skills needed to produce high-quality podcasts through a reflexive critique of current practices–.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Scripture, the genesis of doctrine<\/span><\/strong><\/a> \/Frances M. Young. <\/strong>How did we get from Scripture to creed? \u00a0Young tackles this monumental question in a culmination of decades of biblical and patristic research. Scripture, the Genesis of Doctrine<\/em> reframes the relationship between Scripture and doctrine according to the intellectual context of the first few centuries CE. Young situates the early Christians’ biblical hermeneutic within the context of Greco-Roman learning without espousing historical relativism. Ultimately, Young argues that the scriptural canon and the Rule of Faith emerged concurrently in the early Church, and both were received as apostolic. Nuanced and ecumenical, Scripture, the Genesis of Doctrine <\/em>explores early Christians’ biblical hermeneutic, with an eye toward how we interpret the bible today. Young’s magisterial study holds widespread implications for not only patristics but also exegesis and systematic theology–.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0The pastoral epistles: a commentary on the Greek text<\/a> \/Stanley E. Porter. <\/strong>Porter offers a comprehensive commentary on the Pastoral Epistles that features rigorous biblical scholarship and emphasizes Greek language and linguistics–.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Training teachers in emotional intelligence: a transactional model for elementary education<\/a> \/Elena Savina, Caroline Fulton, and Christina Beaton. <\/strong>Training Teachers in Emotional Intelligence<\/em> provides pre- and in-service teachers with foundational knowledge and skills regarding their own and their students’ emotions. Focused on the primary\/elementary level, this book is an accessible review of children’s emotional development, the role of emotions in learning, teaching, and teachers’ professional identity. The book provides strategies for teachers to foster their emotional awareness, use emotions to promote learning and relationships, foster emotional competencies in students, and stay emotionally healthy.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Visible learning guide to student achievement<\/a> \/edited by John Hattie and Eric M. Anderman. <\/strong>Visible Learning Guide to Student Achievement<\/em> critically examines the major influences shaping student achievement today. Rich in information and empirically supported research, it contains seven sections, each of which begins with an insightful synthesis of major findings and relevant updates from the literature since the publication of the first Guide.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Visible learning, the sequel: a synthesis of over 2,100 meta-analyses relating to achievement<\/a> \/John Hattie.<\/strong> Building upon the success of original, this highly anticipated sequel expands Hattie’s model of teaching and learning based on evidence of impact and is essential reading for anyone involved in the field of education either as a researcher, teacher, student, school leader, teacher trainer or policy maker–.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"\u00a0Worship in the early Church<\/a> \/Justo L. Gonz\u00e1lez, Catherine Gunsalus Gonz\u00e1lez. <\/strong>Rather than survey the whole history of the Christian church, it focuses on the formative period between the first and fifth centuries CE, when so many of the understandings and patterns of Christian worship came to be. And rather than include such developments as the monastic hours of prayer and the history of ordination, the authors deal primarily with those aspects of worship that recur on a weekly or regular basis. Written for students in introduction to worship and church history classes, this resource will serve as a valuable guide to the historical developments that brought about Christian worship as we know it today.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
