Abstract:

Pentecostal biblical interpretation rests on a hermeneutics of fulfillment, summarized in the words “this is that” (Acts 2:16). It presumes that an outpouring of the Holy Spirit is already in process and more is yet to come. Pentecostals construe the Bible not as detached, cognitive content, but as an active, efficacious power that they seek to enact experientially. Pentecostals try to bring their affective experience into alignment with scripture (orthopathy), and to live, feel, and act “as” biblical figures. Pentecostal preaching—especially in the black church—collapses the “two horizons” to

Abstract:

Even when there is nothing wrong with the content of my welfare or self-expression, there may still be contextual facts that deprive you of a reason to respond to me with the concern or respect that would otherwise make sense. This chapter explains three ways in which such ‘context-undermining’ can arise: ‘agency-based’, ‘domain-based’, and ‘meaning-based’ ways. The main emphasis is on showing why we should say that these give rise to contexts in which you lack a reason you would otherwise have had, rather than contexts in which a persisting reason should be excluded from deliberation.

Art 5.1.8 deviates from the principle of pacta sunt servanda and is in contrast with the idea of favor contractus.

The liberal arts impart invaluable skills that we take for granted, probably because they are less easily noticed in our culture or perhaps because they are wrongly considered skills that anyone, regardless of education, can attain.

Familiarity with the theology of John Bunyan is important for the interpretation of his literary classics. That theology was Reformed, or Calvinist, focused on soteriology, and shaped by Bunyan’s search for faith and his experience in a Dissenting congregation on the borderline between Baptists and Independents. At its heart was an emphasis on the forgiveness of sins by a divine grace given without conditions, which Bunyan thought had been offered in the gospel to the worst of sinners, among whom he included himself. He articulated his theology through a scheme of covenants and an order of sal

Abstract This is a book about the multidisciplinary topic of emergence. Science, philosophy of science, and metaphysics have long been concerned with the question of how order, stability, and novelty are possible and how they happen. How can order come out of disorder? We provide a new account of emergence, contextual emergence, that attempts to answer these questions. Contextual emergence is grounded primarily in the sciences, as opposed to logic or metaphysics. It is both an explanatory and ontological account of emergence that gets us beyond the impasse between “weak” and “strong” emergence

Kim suggests that the writer exhorts the minority Johannine community to hold onto their pistis (belief/faith) in Jesus as the true Son of God and proclaims that they are triumphant

Abstract:

This chapter reviews prominent theories of ‘performance’ and ‘performativity’ and compares them to theories of ritual. It begins with important theories of performativity in language, and moves on to discussions of the relation between performativity in theatre and in ritual. This chapter argues shows how a focus on performativity in religion and ritual emphasizes embodiment over cognition, situated communication over linguistic structure, and contextual meaning over propositional content. This chapter considers the example of Indian popular theatre and its relation to Indian theology. It also

Abstract:

Diversity management is an increasingly mature field defined by a wide array of conceptual approaches and competing discourses of diversity. This chapter briefly reviews the field of diversity to locate our discussion of a crucial problematic in global diversity management: implementing global diversity management standards locally. We take the UK as the local context for our analysis, and report findings from a study funded by the Equal Opportunities Commission on the use of equality and diversity tools. Our empirical evidence underscores the importance of localities and specific contexts, an

Abstract:

This book makes a new case for “reading for content,” fleshing out its theoretical claims via readings of Victorian fiction. Questioning the academic assumption that an emphasis on content is aesthetically unsophisticated or theoretically naïve, it argues that the new formalism, like the old, fails to recognize the limits of its own account of the experience of reading and the justifications for literary study. As the philosophical ideas in Victorian narratives demonstrate, writers of literature often use literary form as a means to convey content, and enjoying such books involves precisely en

Abstract:

The globalization of law and literature has trained attention on the historical role played by law in institutions like slavery and colonization, at the same time prompting questions about the neoimperial effects of an array of contemporary legal constructs and practices. These emphases have often created the presumption that law should foremost be an object of critique, and many widely read and taught literary texts have reinforced that suspicion. This chapter reads M. NourbeSe Philio’s Zong!, a long poem that contends with the legal system’s facilitation of the slave trade, to contend with t
