Menike, Nimmi Nalika. "Love Beyond Body Offering: Literature and Generosity." Journal of Human Values 26, no. 3 (September 2020): 248–55. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0971685820949415.
Full textAbstract:
Employing the poststructuralist approach to language and literature as a methodology, the present article insists on the significance of the novel, Body Offering, in understanding the idea of giving in to literature through writing. The notion of giving in the novel unfolds with regard to two contexts: love and writing, which, in turn, problematizes not only the way in which giving is understood in the binary structure of giving and receiving, but also the representational function assigned to literature due to its appearance without voice. So, doing it highlights the openness to receive beyond self desire as the most fundamental force that makes an offering unconditional and sincere.

This paper considers the whether offering multiple lotto games within a state by joining a multi-state lottery increases total ticket sales compared to offering a single state game. The question is considered from two different perspectives, which both lead to the conclusion that states do tend to benefit from increased ticket sales overall by joining a multi-state lottery association. There is, however, a noted difference in the magnitude of that effect depending on the size of the average jackpots of the previously existing state games.

Bielik-Robson, Agata. "Is the Human Being Redeemable? A Meditation on Rosenzweig’s Claim That Death Is Very Good." Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy 29, no. 1 (March 30, 2021): 57–77. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/1477285x-12341317.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this article I claim there is no contradiction involved in Franz Rosenzweig’s love of life and his apology for death: what he loves and wants us to love is the finite life, life offered in its finitude which should in the end appear as enough – that is, sufficient and fit for everything we could want from life, redemption included. The beyond toward which death as the end gestures is not a promise of immortality, offering a transcendence in temporal terms infinitely prolonged. The will “to stay, to live,” of which Rosenzweig speaks in the opening paragraph of The Star of Redemption, is the drive characteristic of another finitude: desiring and investing in life, without, at the same time, wishing to prolong itself into infinity.

Ministering to inmates and training them as pastoral agents inside jails and prisons are highly challenging in today’s correctional institutions. Many forces are at work in these facilities that interrupt access to the rich life Jesus offers and its expansion among prisoners. This article addresses these obstacles, offering strategies for effective ministry among the incarcerated, with perspectives drawn from Acts 16.

Moreno-Álvarez, Alejandra. "De Kretser’s Retelling of a Ghost Love Story." Humanities 9, no. 3 (August 19, 2020): 87. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/h9030087.
Full textAbstract:
Australian author Michelle de Kretser addresses in her literary work ideas of home and belonging. In Springtime. A Ghost Story (2014) the author gives voice to an ambiguous and variable subject who coexists with her past, present and future, inhabiting a fluid trans-space where love has a principal role. Frances, the main character in Springtime, sees ghosts who unconsciously allow her to voice her insecurities and doubts concerning her life existence. These phantoms contribute to the formation of Frances’ alternative conceptualization of subjectivity. At the same time, de Kretser offers in this dystopic novella a much-needed escape from binary definitions of inclusion/exclusion, offering palimpsests of the spaces that Frances inhabits—Melbourne, Sydney and Paris. This main character is a fluid flâneuse who tries to adjust to her glocality constituted and reconstituted by a discursive imaginary. In this article, I analyze how de Kretser subverts ghost story patterns, destabilizes binary thinking, and decentralizes the human subject offering the reader an alternative haunting love story with an open ending, where cities, ghosts, humans, dogs and nature become active characters who are-in-this-together-but-who-are-not-one-and-the-same.

Lu, Chao. "A Kantian Interpretation of the Infinite Manifoldness of Evil Incentives in Real Human Life." International Philosophical Quarterly 61, no. 2 (2021): 207–25. http://dx.doi.org/10.5840/ipq2021419169.
Full textAbstract:
Kant defined moral evil as reversing the order between self-love and morality. For many critics, however, his egoistically-orientated notion of self-love fails to make sense of the infinitely manifold incentives of evil under the human condition. Against this criticism, my article will re-interpret Kantian self-love and empirical self-conception from both the transcendental and empirical level, thus offering a transcendental grounding for the empirical manifestations of evil. In this way I will argue that we can explain rather sufficiently the infinite manifoldness of evil incentives in real human life with Kant’s prima facie simplistic definition of evil.

The subjective experience inherent in the act of offering merciful love by caregivers to those in extreme states is explored. Also, the subjective experience of receiving merciful love from caregivers by people in extreme states is explored. The author draws on both the personal experience of being in extreme states, and on the experience as a dissident Laingian–Jungian oriented therapist and researcher, specializing in serving people in extreme states for 40 years.

Mordarski, Ryszard. "Benevolence or Mercy? The Problem with the First Premise of the Hiddenness Argument." Roczniki Filozoficzne 69, no. 3 (September 24, 2021): 123–39. http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rf21693-8.
Full textAbstract:
The first premise of J. L. Schellenberg’s Hiddenness Argument equates God’s love with a positive relationship to human beings. To illustrate this relationship, the human model of parental love is used, based on the standards of the modern American liberal world, not on the biblical standard. As a result, we attribute to God a narrowly understood horizontal relationship towards people, which is completely alien to the understanding of love developed in the Christian tradition. When we refer to the classical theism that recognized love as the central attribute of God, we will see that it should be understood in a vertical model, consisting in the offering of good and mercy. This understanding undermines the benevolent theism and replaces it with the merciful theism or theism of mercy. Ultimately, this makes the first premise of the Hiddenness Argument very questionable and the whole argument calls for a significant revision.

Flesch, William. "Extravagance." Oxford Literary Review 42, no. 1 (July 2020): 52–75. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/olr.2020.0293.
Full textAbstract:
Blanchot uses the word extravagance to mean the unworldliness of both love and literature—a wandering beyond the limits of the world. Extravagance is the standard English translation of Ludwig Binswanger's Verstiegenheit, which means a climbing to a perilous altitude from which one cannot rescue oneself. For Blanchot that peril is the space of literature and of love because it is an unteleological attentiveness to the other. This is not an attentiveness to meaning but to its fragility. Literature is the place of alterity and is most intense when it demands attention to that alterity rather than offering itself to interpretation. This is consistent with the costly signaling analyzed by evolutionary psychology.

Full textAbstract:
This article intends to explore some of the seemingly abstruse concepts exposited by Bahá’u’lláh in “The Four Valleys.” The first three Valleys are described as three aspects of the spiritual path to be trod by any human being, so that he/she may acquire knowledge of God, as realization of the self, through the use of his/her capacities of willing, knowing, and loving respectively. The fourth Valley is interpreted as describing the lofty and unattainable condition of the Manifestations of God, and as such, as offering a hint of the glory of the goal of perfection towards which human beings should strive, albeit assured that such a perfection will never be theirs.

Zaman, Sobia. "Effect of Escalator Use on Mall Love among Adult Pakistani Visitors." IBT Journal of Business Studies 16, no. 1 (2020): 211–37. http://dx.doi.org/10.46745/ilma.jbs.2020.16.01.14.
Full textAbstract:
The study examines the role of escalator-use in the generation of mall love among adult Pakistani visitors. It assesses the influence of hedonic and utilitarian value on mall love through visitors’ attitude and emotional experience. The theoretical foundation of this research is founded on Technology Acceptance Model by Davis (1986). Around 1000 mall visitors were approached through the mall-intercept method in thirteen shopping malls in major cities of Pakistan. Among them, 500 responses were utilized for data analysis. Non-probability convenience sampling was considered as the best choice. Proposed relationships between the constructs were tested through Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The findings revealed that ‘hedonic value’ has a direct positive influence on visitors’ mall love. While testing mediation, the results indicated that emotional experience, attitude and escalator use strengthen the relationship between hedonic and utilitarian value and mall love. It is interesting to observe that the use of escalators in shopping mall results in developing mall love among visitors in Pakistan. This study will benefit the entire gamut of stakeholders including shopping mall managers, academic researchers, and practitioners. This study will benefit mall management by offering them practical suggestions regarding attracting visitors through better management of the mall environment.

Full textAbstract:
In introducing his article, the author draws attention to the enormous importance space, especially the west of Ireland, has in the Irish culture and in the legitimization of Irish identity. The central part of the article is devoted to an analysis of Neil Jordan's "A Love" in which the author describes the way Jordan uses the West as the privileged place of Irish self-representation. A close reading of the text shows the writer's strategies which subvert the conventional image of the West of Ireland and the author voices the opinion that Jordan's text refers to the end of one conceptualization of Irish identity. Offering the concept of heterotopia (Foucault) in his conclusion the author opens up the possibility of reading the representation of space in Jordan's story as his inscription of those places which were elided from the utopian Irish national saga.

Full textAbstract:
This article represents a preliminary inquiry into a little known and understudied commentarial tradition upon ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī’s classic work on the stations of Sufism, the Manāzil al-sāʾirīn (Stations of the Wayfarers). After briefly taking stock of the considerably late commentarial tradition which this important text engendered, we will take as our case study one of the Manāzil ’s key topics, namely its sixty-first chapter on the station of love. This pivotal section on love gives profound insight into early Sufism and into the minds of two of its greatest exponents. Anṣārī discusses the station of love in detail, as he does with every chapter, in three aspects, each pertaining to the three types of wayfarers: the initiates, the elect, and the foremost of the elect. Then, we shall turn our attention to perhaps the most important Sufi commentary upon this work by an important follower of the school of Ibn al-ʿArabī, ʿAbd al-Razzāq Kāshānī, offering a guided reading of his commentary upon Anṣarī’s chapter on love in the Manāzil. A complete English translation of this chapter will be offered and appropriately contextualized.

Full textAbstract:
Food is one of the basic elements needed to live a healthy life in the world. The body needs food to survive and food to survive. Only a healthy body can function with energy. The body also acts as a bridge to help the living reach the Lord. Sixty-three of the Nayans expressed their love for the Lord through their charities. It is noteworthy that the work done by a large number of ten Nayans was done by a large number of Nayans, although the Nayans practiced as many religious activities as they wished, providing foods, such as lighting, plowing, supplying, and providing clothing. Although there are many ways to practice religion, the Nayans amused the devotees who realized that the energy capacity of food was essential for the functioning of the body. This article sets out to explore the religious work of the Nayans who volunteered for such an amulet.

Camacho, Paul A. "Educating Desire: Conversion and Ascent in Dante’s Purgatorio." Religions 10, no. 5 (May 4, 2019): 305. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/rel10050305.
Full textAbstract:
In Cantos 17 and 18 of the Purgatorio, Dante’s Virgil lays out a theory of sin, freedom, and moral motivation based on a philosophical anthropology of loving-desire. As the commentary tradition has long recognized, because Dante placed Virgil’s discourse on love at the heart of the Commedia, the poet invites his readers to use love as a hermeneutic key to the text as a whole. When we contextualize Virgil’s discourse within the broader intention of the poem—to move its readers from disordered love to an ordered love of ultimate things—then we find in these central cantos not just a key to the structure and movement of the poem, but also a key to understanding Dante’s pedagogical aim. With his Commedia, Dante invites us to perform the interior transformation which the poem dramatizes in verse and symbol. He does so by awakening in his readers not only a desire for the beauty of his poetic creation, but also a desire for the beauty of the love described therein. In this way, the poem presents a pedagogy of love, in which the reader participates in the very experience of desire and delight enacted in the text. In this article, I offer an analysis of Virgil’s discourse on love in the Purgatorio, arguing for an explicit and necessary connection between loving-desire and true education. I demonstrate that what informs Dante’s pedagogy of love is the notion of love as ascent, a notion we find articulated especially in the Christian Platonism of Augustine. Finally, I conclude by offering a number of figures, passages, and themes from across the Commedia that provide fruitful material for teachers engaged in the task of educating desire.

Full textAbstract:
Before, during, and after the Synods on the family and Pope Francis’s apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, Catholics have been engaged in extensive debates on the theology of the family in light of changing practices and norms. This essay argues that contemporary Catholic thinking on the family balances a radical vision of marriage as lifelong love oriented outward with a vision of a church offering welcome, accompaniment, and mercy.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAlthough Kate Bush's reputation as a significant musical pioneer has been accepted by most critics and academic commentators since her return to music in 2005, most readings of her work have been highly ahistoric. This paper explores how, with the release of her fifth album, Hounds of Love, in 1985, her popular appeal was widened into a genuine acceptance of her idiom by contemporary cultural commentators. In particular, the paper focuses on the rival inspirations and the shape, form and delivery of the title track, ‘Hounds of Love’ and its ‘alternative’ version, released on a 12” disc. The paper concludes by analysing the visual presentation of the song through the promotional video (directed by Bush herself) and her two mimed performances and offering a contextualised explanation for Bush's perceived ‘authenticity’ as an artist and performer.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Drawing from extensive fieldwork in east Madagascar, this article examines the role of Pentecostal churches in assuaging gendered suffering among middle-aged women who have become vulnerable to social exclusion. It focuses particularly on two techniques that women use to manage their relationships with husbands and children: cultivated passivity and the creation of a relationship with Jesus through prayer and small acts of exchange. It argues that conversion and the practice of Pentecostal Christianity helps women less by changing their husband’s behavior than by offering them an alternative source of authority and a new set of practices through which to build valued personhood.

Full textAbstract:
The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. Many faithful celebrate the Eucharist: some experience the Eucharist's impact, but many do not feel the impact of the Eucharist on their daily lives. The Eucharist is the memory of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. He himself is present at the Eucharist. Therefore the Eucharist is a source of grace and blessing to the lives of the faithful: to bring the fruits of redemption and to be the source of life for the faithful; building–living–reviving the Church. The Eucharist is also a source of repentance and forgiveness as well as a source for developing faith, hope, and love. The Eucharist is the offering of Christ and His Church. Therefore, in the Eucharist the faithful offer their entire lives to be transformed into a source of life and blessing for them and the whole world. In the spirit of repentance, the faithful are also called to offer themselves in faith, hope and love. Celebrating the Eucharist and seriously believing its truths will illuminate the daily lives of the faithful and grow in love for the Eucharist, so that they grow in love for God and others in Christ.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAcknowledging the impact on their sales, companies strive to increase the number of positive online reviews of their products. A recently popular practice for stimulating online reviews is offering monetary rewards to customers in return for writing an online review. However, it is unclear whether such practices succeed in fulfilling two main objectives, namely, increasing the number and the valence of online reviews. With one pilot and two experimental studies, this research shows that offering incentives indeed increases the likelihood of review writing. However, the effect on review valence is mixed, due to contradictory psychological effects: Incentive recipients intend to reciprocate by writing favorable reviews but also perceive a need to resist marketers’ influence, which negatively affects their review valence. Finally, recipients who are less satisfied with the product are particularly prone to psychological costs and decrease the positivity of their online reviews. Consequently, incentives should be applied carefully.

Technical language in novels, rare in itself, is still more rarely interpreted. Focusing on Robert Louis Stevenson’s bildungsromans, in this essay I argue that a technical maritime lexicon marks their protagonists’ accession to maturity. But that lexicon and the love for the world it attests to and demands also forces a redefinition of what it means to be mature, offering an open, adventurous, never-to-be completed Bildung that refuses the stasis of marriage or a settled profession.

Full textAbstract:
Distance relationships may be increasingly undertaken by dual-career couples at some point in their life course. Although this can make it difficult to quantitatively measure the extent of distance relating, qualitative analysis of distance relationships promises to give considerable insight into the changing nature of intimate lives across the life course. This paper indicates the kind of insights offered via analysis of exploratory research into distance relating in Britain. What begins to emerge is a picture of distance relating as offering certain possibilities in relation to the gendered organisation of emotional labour and of care in conjunction with the pursuit, especially of professional, careers. These possibilities might be more realistic, however, at certain points in the life course. Nevertheless, this new form of periods of separation between partners, tell us a considerable amount about how people approach the challenges of maintaining a satisfying and egalitarian intimate life, involving caring relationships with others, within contemporary social conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Even though offering sexual services implies for service providers that they have to deal directly with sexuality, research rarely focuses on their representations and emotional experience of sexuality. In order to explore both of these aspects, 16 women who either were offering or had offered escort services were individually met for two semi-directed interviews of about 90 minutes each. Most participants either pursued or accepted sexual pleasure in their interaction with clients, while a few others rather avoided it. In this article, I will first review the skills participants considered necessary for a good work performance (self-presentation as beautiful, feminine and sexy; listening skills and empathy; sexual competence). Following this, I will present the experiences of different types of pleasure they identified (regarding work well done; resulting from performing sexually; feeling sexual pleasure) and compare these experiences as well as the representations those pursuing or accepting sexual pleasure had in contrast with those avoiding sexual pleasure. Feeling comfortable in having sex outside a love relationship as well as in being paid for it renders these types of pleasure possible, while considering sexuality should be expressed only with lovers produces shame, disgust and much displeasure when doing the paid sexual performance.

Full textAbstract:
To better understand emerging adults’ perceptions of family interactions and value transmission to the next generation, we examined Hmong American emerging adults’ reflections on their parents’ parenting. Participants discussed what parenting practices they would do differently and others they hoped to emulate with their future adolescent children. Thirty Hmong American emerging adults (18-25 years; M = 21.2 years; 50% female) participated in interviews that focused retrospectively on the parent–adolescent relationship. Results revealed that emerging adults wanted to parent differently in three ways: less pressure about education, fewer restrictions, and more open communication. Emerging adults imagined being a similar parent in four ways: promoting education, promoting life values, giving guidance, and offering love and support. The findings highlight parenting practices that Hmong American emerging adults plan on transmitting (and not transmitting) to their own children, offering a glimpse into the type of parents the emerging adults may become.

Full textAbstract:
In the eighteenth century, both in the Dutch Republic and in the colonies of New England, collective repentance and social reconciliation with God were institutionalized in great common rituals. In both polities, Fast and Thanksgiving Days were proclaimed by civil authority, and these occasions brought people together into churches to hear ministers interpret their common situation. These rituals were the main way in which the New England colonies and the Dutch Republic expressed their unity as political communities. It was this aspect of these sermons that made them of interest to nineteenth-century American and Dutch historians. In the nineteenth-century Kingdom of the Netherlands, N. C. Kist, the first holder of the newly instituted chair of Church History at Leiden University, finished his career with his two-volume Neêrlands Bededagen en Biddagsbrieven, offering both an interpretation and an antiquarian overview of all the Fast Days proclaimed in the Netherlands. In the United States, William de Loss Love published his exquisite The Fast and Thanksgiving Days of New England in 1895, similarly offering both an antiquarian list of all Fast and Thanksgiving Days and an analysis. Kist was deeply involved with the nation-building project of the early nineteenth-century Kingdom of the Netherlands. De Loss Love, the first chaplain of the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, was as inspired by modern nationalism as Kist was. Both scholars interpreted the Fast-day ritual as an indication of the high moral purpose and commitment to the nation of their ancestors.

Full textAbstract:
Young independent Chinese travellers are increasingly visiting Pai, a small town in northern Thailand, in part influenced by the popularity of the 2009 Thai movie Pai in Love. Using a performance perspective, combined with theory on affordances, which have not yet been applied in the growing body of research on Chinese tourists, this article examines the wide variety of performances in Pai by young independent Chinese travellers, many of which revolve around tourist photography. Drawing upon participant observation and in-depth interviews with Chinese travellers in Pai, the findings reveal that many young Chinese independent traveller performances in Pai revolve around the creation of online self-identities of prosperity and globalisation, love and alternative social identities such as Chinese hipsterism or Xiao Qing Xin. Central to many of these hybrid performances is the digital camera, which affords new, more playful, embodied ways of encountering and interacting with tourist attractions, while simultaneously offering a means of recording and refining performances that are then distributed via the ‘statusphere’. The article’s use of a performance lens provides new insights into Chinese tourism consumption, and highlights the importance of physical, material and social affordances in performing tourism.

Many of W. H. Auden’s poems written between 1939 and 1944 explored the Second World War, but only at a distance. After his experience in the Morale Division of the United States Strategic Bombing Survey, however, his poems started to more fully examine the effects of the War. Auden’s grief over the War’s destruction would find voice in poems that are haunted by ghostly figures he encountered. Ruined places contain experience and memory. Auden’s postwar placed-based poems develop his theory of haunted places. There, Auden lived with the dead, and those figures showed him that both sin and love reside in the same space, thus offering hope for the future.

We assessed whether or not individuals high in narcissism and those with high self-efficacy showed different behaviors in buying situations, by collecting quantitative responses to scenarios using an online questionnaire. The Study 1 participants comprised 133 students at universities offering 4-year college courses and Study 2 participants were 83 workers and 15 university students. Results of Study 1 showed that narcissists depended more on visual information whereas people with high self-efficacy depended more on attribute information. In particular, covert, unlike overt, narcissists depended on visual information in private buying situations. In contrast, people with high self-efficacy were found to depend on attribute information in public buying situations in which they could display their ability to others. In Study 2, behavioral differences were verified between narcissists and people with high self-efficacy depending on display methods. Narcissists preferred brand displays, whereas people with high self-efficacy preferred product displays.

Full textAbstract:
The paper provides a new interpretation of A. S. Pushkin’s poem “Poltava” offering a broader view of its idea. Whereas, according to critics, the Battle of Poltava is only “an episode from the love story of Mazepa” and is “asymmetrically” located in the poem (V. G. Belinsky), the paper shows that Pushkin’s poem is distinguished by a harmonious and thoughtful composition, associated not only with the image of events of the victorious Battle of Poltava, but also with memories of Poltava (Poltava region), linked by Pushkin with the addressee of the poem’s dedication — M. N. Raevskaya-Volkonskaya. The poem is formed by a three-part structure, each stage of which is connected with one of the passions that capture the characters and are subordinate to Pushkin’s special hierarchy. If the first part embodies the passion of love (images of Mary and Mazepa), the second explicates the passion of revenge (Kochubey and Mazepa) and then the third — the highest, according to Pushkin — the passion of serving the Fatherland, the desire to give it all the heart (Peter, Karl, Mazepa). Three stages of compositional construction embody axiological difference of the protagonist passion and, as a result, reflect stadiality of maturing of a central idea of the poem. Its final meaning is to depict not so much the victory of Peter’s army at Poltava, as the struggle of human passions (love, revenge, Motherland) and their commensurability with the grandiosity of historical events involving the main characters.

A landscape of popular perceptions increasingly indifferent to French has sent teachers around the United States scurrying for new books that will draw students to the language they love. In many cases, the profession has fixed on Francophonie as a solution, offering, it seems, the practical, down-to-earth usefulness that the profession thinks students want and providing, at the same time, a neat link to popular and sometimes simple-minded notions of multiculturalism. Ager's new book, 6 years after his excellent Sociolinguistics and Contemporary French, demonstrates that Francophonie is far more problematic than many have thought. Less technical than the earlier book, this emphatically interdisciplinary work ought to be required reading for all prospective teachers of French.

<p>Ceremonies in Hinduism are carried out by people in their daily lives or certain<br />days. This gives an opportunity for Balinese women to play a role in the preparation of ceremonies as a means of offering at the ceremony. In this era of globalization because many Balinese women work in the public sector as employees, lecturers, medical staff, and others, causing them to have less time in preparing the ceremony. This gives an opportunity for Balinese women who love and pursue upakara to do so. There are those who make offerings as a home industry and some who work on a shop that prepares services based on orders. Hindu women who work in the banten industry, one of them is in the Desa Pakraman Penatih Denpasar Bali as the center of the banten industry is driven by two factors, namely the presence of internal and external factors. The internal factor is to increase family income and the desire to be independent. As for the external factors because of the opportunities and opportunities also because of the husband. These factors make Hindu women who work in the banten industry earn their own income that can be used for their needs independently and also for family needs.</p>

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study explores the lived experience of self-identified Mexican men as fathers. The sample consists of 47 biological fathers of children residing in Denver, Colorado, all whom are participating in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project. The data suggests that these fathers engaged in traditionally conceptualized fathering roles. These men expressed the importance of being there, teaching, meeting the child’s needs, being a role model, offering emotional support, and giving affection and love. The fathers reported taking more responsibility, decreasing substance use, and limiting their leisure activities as a result of becoming a parent. The results suggest that, fathering in and of itself, may create resiliency and may have powerful positive influences on the lives of fathers.

Full textAbstract:
A relational understanding of the Trinity does not lead to the abandonment of judicial metaphors for the atonement but provides a context for them. The Trinity places relationships at the heart of the moral order. Relationships involve obligations, and the cross was the triune God’s response of love to humanity’s violation of our relational obligations towards him. Both God’s judgment on sin and God’s salvation from sin are personal acts. A Chalcedonian understanding of Christ’s two natures enables us to understand Jesus’ death as the self-substitution of God for humanity and as the representative death of the perfect man, offering himself through the Spirit, on behalf of humanity. Those who are, by the Spirit, in Christ are in restored relationship with God.

A popular interpretation of the Song of Solomon states that the love poetry in it is a description of the relationship between God and His people. The Jews interpreted it as the relationship between Yahweh and Israel (allegorical), while Christians interpreted it as the relationship between Christ and the church (Christological). However, if one considers the genre of the book, the use of the Hebrew word dod, and the close praise for Solomon and the Shulamite, it would be argued that the Song of Songs contains a celebration of eros love between man and woman as an offering God that can be enjoyed. Song of Songs also presents another dimension in all of its articles, namely the values about the love relationship between a man and a woman. This article is written to explore the didactic aspects of the love relationship between a man and a woman in the entire Song of Songs. The method to be used is thematic analysis, using a literal perspective that takes into account the rules of Hebrew poetry. Finally, it found the didactic aspects of love in it including the right timing, a binding marriage, a charming character, equality, strong loyalty, role as a friend, communication, and solving problems quickly.Penafsiran yang populer terhadap Kidung Agung menyatakan bahwa puisi cinta di dalamnya merupakan penggambaran dari hubungan antara Tuhan dengan umat-Nya. Orang Yahudi memaknainya sebagai hubungan antara Yahweh dengan umat Israel (alegoris), sedangkan orang Kristen memaknainya sebagai hubungan antara Kristus dengan gereja (Kristologis). Namun bila mempertimbangkan genre kitab, pemakaian kata Ibrani dod, dan adanya puji-pujian fisik yang begitu intim antara Salomo dengan gadis Sulam, maka akan dimengerti bahwa Kidung Agung berisi selebrasi tentang cinta eros antara lelaki dan wanita sebagai pemberian Tuhan yang perlu dinikmati. Tidak sekedar urusan seksualitas dan sensualitas, Kidung Agung juga menyajikan dimensi lain di dalam seluruh pasalnya, yakni nilai-nilai pengajaran tentang hubungan cinta antara seorang laki-laki dan seorang wanita. Artikel ini ditulis untuk mengupas aspek didaktis tentang hubungan cinta seorang laki-laki dan seorang wanita di dalam seluruh kitab Kidung Agung. Metode yang akan dipakai adalah analisis tematis, dengan memakai perspektif literal yang memperhatikan kaidah-kaidah puisi Ibrani. Akhirnya, ditemukanlah aspek didaktis tentang cinta di dalamnya meliputi waktu yang tepat, pernikahan yang mengikat, karakter yang memikat, persamaan derajat, kesetiaan yang kuat, peran sebagai sahabat, komunikasi yang hangat, dan penyelesaian masalah dengan cepat.

Full textAbstract:
Ethiopian American writer Dinaw Mengestu’s third novel All Our Names (2014) is a double narrative that alternates between post-independence Uganda and post-Civil Rights America, thus offering a critique on both postcolonial Africa and multiracial America. It gives voice to both an African student who seeks refuge in the U.S. and to an American social worker, a white Midwesterner deep-rooted in her hometown. This essay examines how Mengestu constructs his two characters and weaves together their painful singular stories as parallel subjective first-person narratives that offer two different perspectives on Africanness and Blackness. It further analyzes how he uses their encounter (a secret interracial love affair) to point to the contrasts and similarities of their two separate worlds and thus expose the instability of identity and the sense of self that go beyond their differences and affect both characters.

Christian perfection is not just an expression that contains expectations for Christians, but rather a standard of living that is commanded and required for every Christian. The book of Hebrews teaches that the values of Christian Perfection are closely related to holiness, with Perfection being the nature of God and the result of his work. Christian perfection is perfection that originates from Holiness of life, of love and of motivation , from and understanding and recognition that Christ’s saving work completely resolves the problem of sin, and is valid for ever. Perfection is seen and birthedin the figure of Jesus Christ our High Priestas well as the perfect sin offering, who completed his work of attonement in the more perfect heavenly Tablernacl, not made by human hands.Christian perfection is inseparable from the meaning of Holiness, demanded of all Christians.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article utilises interviews I completed with Hindu Bengali women in Kolkata, India, concerning their practices of domestic shrine care and worship. I illustrate how the loving relationship women build between themselves and their domestic deities—a relationship women describe as the marker of bhakti—is fomented through their daily caretaking of deities such as Gopāl, the toddler form of Kṛṣṇa found in many Kolkatan home shrines. While male Brahmin priests oversee pūjā in Kolkata’s Hindu temples, it is often the mothers, daughters, and daughters-in-laws that are responsible for the care and daily worship of the domestic shrine, where such work is deemed ‘a woman’s duty’ and is assimilated within the domestic responsibilities that Bengali women traditionally undertake. Household shrine care and worship varies but generally consists of acts that one might show to a beloved family member such as feeding and offering water; cleansing, dressing and adorning; gift-giving; decorating a comfortable living space; and waking and putting to sleep. Bengali women explained to me their authority over the domestic shrine by citing their maternal capacity to love to suggested that they were more apt and skilled than men to care for the physically vulnerable deities at home. When noting this, they often mentioned the needs of the child-god Gopāl and their feelings of maternal love and devotion that his presence evokes within them through his depiction as a chubby toddler, crawling on his hands and knees with one hand that is extended outwards; much like a child asking to hold the hand of his parent. This article examines how both the familial necessity of caretaking demanded by the home deity and the imagining of the deity as physically vulnerable promote the development of this bhakti relationship between the female devotee and deity within the contemporary Bengali home.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe brief episode represented by the Bhagavad-Gītā, entrenched in the great body of the epic Hindu poem Mahābhārata, is revealing for the long lasting intellectual and spiritual effort made by the enlightened Indian philosophers in order to over-pass the ritual and social constraints put in place by the Veda, during the early period of the Hindu tradition. By focusing on the dialogue between a valiant knight and the earthly incarnation of God himself, a perennial wisdom is to be noticed. This is a promise for salvation from fear and death for all who dare to follow their duty, by offering them other ways of attending the Supreme. The self-sacrifice, the renunciation to all ego and the pure love for the Divine represent sacrifices that equal those offered by Hindu priests. By this, every single individual is meant to finally embrace freedom and eternity.

Full textAbstract:
Since the mid-2000s, Turkish television drama series have been exported to many countries and attracted an unprecedented transnational audience. However, despite popularity, there is paucity of research focusing on the transnational understanding(s) of Turkish television drama audiences in different geographies. Through a reception analysis of three mostly cited television series among participants Muhteşem Yüzyıl (Magnificent Century), Aşk-ı Memnu (Forbidden Love), Kuzey Güney (North South), this study aimed at offering an understanding beyond overly stated cultural/religious proximity explanations to ascertain traces and elements of empowerment that citizens feel coming through their act of consuming Turkish dramas. For that purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with Iranian viewers of Turkish television series living in the Austrian capital Vienna. Interpretation of that collected qualitative material suggests re-thinking of the transnational audience’s consumption practices that expand tourism and trade flows and other related businesses between the two countries.

Full textAbstract:
“A Clean, Well-lighted Place,” was first published in Scribner’s Magazine, in 1933, and ever since has been a significant focus of the literary world, with few daring to risk their literary aspirations, in rebuttal of previously published assertions as the dark forebodings of a world bereft of faith or joy. One is left to ponder a literary profession that appears bereft of a critical examination of the work, or, may not being able to see the forest for the trees. Responding to the assertion by Robert Penn Warren, that Hemingway lived in a “world of violent action,” WB Bache preferred to see the writer as a representative of unique craft and insight, and that he should be seen as, “a creative artist.” This is why I too, found Hemingway an enigma, as someone with a unique literary style, but possessing too, a wicked side. In his art, as he was in life, a hard drinking, womanizing, errant joker, who I feel certain here, is having a laugh at us all, from the other side. Sam Bluefarb (1971) wrote of the “Need to break through to some transcendent purpose—esthetic or religious—without which life seems to have little or no meaning.” Indeed, the melancholia which pervades this literary offering drags the reader down, into its darkness and despair, its depths of the maudlin, the mundane. The pathos may be evident, but does the meaning of the story have to be so dark, and so bitter? The “illogical dialogue sequence,” Warren Bennett (1990) ascribed to the tale, appears to be too bad, too lacking substance, too illogical for words, and so devoid of natural development that it takes on an artificiality such that it could only be a frolic that Hemingway is having, at our expense. Hemingway was a disciple of misogyny, this brute found love so often, not with docile, “pleasant”, or amenable women, but independent, vibrant, aggressive, articulate, intelligent, and yes, “feisty.” None of them was just a decoration, all were treated abysmally, and yet they all loved him till they had no more love left to give, until he had drained them of their capacity to continue to love him. These relationships open the door to a less discussed possibility, that “A Clean Well-lighted Place,” was actually a metaphoric celebration of femininity, in praise of womanhood, an explanation of the clean illumination of our lives (places), without whom, we are dark and dull, and lifeless, much like the iconic short story.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I explore practices for opening the heart and offering compassion towards others and also myself in the context of teaching. In doing so, I reflect upon experiences that involve the uneven distribution of “air time” in the classroom; I concentrate on such experiences because, as long-standing sources of irritation for me, I believe they can evoke insights about being present. How, for example, might I invite deeper awareness of my own being in such situations, notice how I am feeling in relation to the students, individually and collectively? How might I become better acquainted with my own resistances? Send love and compassion towards the students and also myself? Through contemplative practice, I observe my mind and habits of being. My aspiration is to teach from a softer, gentler place. I situate this work in relation to the literature in contemplative education, specifically that which offers insights into teachers’ inner work.

Abstract Customer revenge and avoidance in the context of online complaints by the public are hot topics. This article helps managers to understand the phenomenon and to prevent damage. Do online complainers hold a grudge-in terms of revenge and avoidance desires-over time? Results show that time affects the two desires differently: although revenge decreases over time, avoidance increases over time, indicating that customers hold a grudge. Then, we examine the moderation effect of a strong relationship on how customers hold this grudge. Indeed firms’ best customers have the longest unfavorable reactions. This is called the love-becomes-hate effect. Specifically, over time the revenge of strong-relationship customers decreases more slowly, and their avoidance increases more rapidly, than for weak-relationship customers. Further, we explore a solution to attenuate this damaging effect: the firm offering an apology and compensation after the online complaint. Overall, strong-relationship customers are more amenable to any level of recovery attempt.

AbstractEcclesial unity among Christian physicians is jeopardized by the culture of secular medicine. The medical context, rather than being a neutral sphere, has increasingly become a context that cuts loose and reshapes church members into a secular ecclesia. This thesis is demonstrated through focus groups composed of Christian physician-residents within Harvard Medical School residency programs. The interviews describe how many Christian physicians are psychologically isolated and spiritually endangered because of compliance to secular expectations within academic teaching hospitals. In contrast, the key to undoing secular atomization stems from the nature of the church as a people gathered in the presence of Christ. Thus, the essay develops an ecclesiology that focuses on the manifestation of unity in its local relationships and embodied practices. Despite severe time constraints, Christian physicians have the opportunity to reconstitute a unified church within the secular by pursuing one another in love and offering tangible signs of solidarity.

Full textAbstract:
As the scarlet letter ends, Hawthorne offers us a glimpse of Hester Prynne's future. We are to imagine her as a figure of wisdom, offering counsel to a community of perplexed and sorrowful women, the casualties of love. Her bitter experience has at last become a source of authority; the marginal has become central. This vision of Hester anticipates Hawthorne's transformation of his fiction as he moved from The Scarlet Letter to The House of the Seven Gables. The “hell-fired” intensity of the former book generated in Hawthorne the wish to write something more genial, less gloomy, “a more natural and healthy product of my mind,” a work he could feel less “reluctance” about publishing. The lure of the central hinted at in Hester's reward and Hawthorne's remarks is at the heart of The House of the Seven Gables's way of claiming authority, its attempt to reinvent and perform the work of the novelist.

Genesis claims that ancient languages were divinely diversified as the linguistic origin. In consistence, this article presents systematic evidence for biblical etymology related to all major body parts and organs. For instance, heart is to heat, brain is to burn, kidney is to kindle burnt offering, and muscle is to slice to the multiple. Sandal is sacred land, scared is sacred scarf, and tragedy is to tear garment. Both objective and abstract words exhibit biblical match, such as random and ransom as escaping scapegoat randomly chosen. Biblical etymology of morals 德, love 愛, real真, eternity 永, memory, necessity 必, secret 秘, accident, pardon 恕 and mister is also presented. Novel interpretation in biblical etymology is also presented for several affixes such as 辰, 者, per, and m/l+vowel+n. In definitive etymology, numerous words such as generation, espionage, pregnancy and agriculture are presented to bilingually match bible, especially the scripture of Moses, reflecting divine creation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract After the glorious reception of Voices of Putna – a key contribution to the genre – Viorel Munteanu makes now a new “offering of sound and letter”, a “different” sort of eulogy for the Orthodox Byzantine monody, meaning to encourage us to embark on the difficult journey of salvation together with the endless train of “pilgrims to Saint Parascheva”. It is, thus, a daring compositional effort that will be spiritually experienced by both its creator and its public, from the first contact with the graceful resonance of the title to the last shimmer of sound at the end of the final scene. If one considers the Orthodox art and its spirit, Viorel Munteanu’s Oratorio for Saint Parascheva is more than a creative act; it is an act of faith, of hope and of love, “a prayer to”, and “joy in”, Jesus Christ; it is living tradition and self-giving truth, by which we partake to one of the most memorable unions of Christian experiences and symbols.

Full textAbstract:
Nina Freeman’s 2015 videogame Cibele recounts its creator’s experience of falling in love with a fellow player of an online game. An interactive autobiography about a young woman sharing her life online, Cibele explores the terms on which new media enable users to narrate their experiences, represent themselves and forge identities. This article locates the game in relation to recent developments in life writing and independent game design, asking what digital technologies offer autobiographers as medium and as subject matter. It also frames Cibele as an attempt to challenge two dominant discourses about online culture: offering a counterpoint to narratives stressing the dangers facing young women who seek intimacy on the internet, Cibele also questions framings of networked intimacy as a necessarily deficient substitute for “the real thing.” Its oblique approach, however, in tandem with its commitment to witnessing the ambivalences and incoherencies of digital culture, have, I argue, led to these points being missed or misinterpreted by players, reflecting a longstanding tendency to dismiss and devalue women’s life writing.
