Abstract
IN THE Phaedrus, written around 370 B.C.E., Plato sets down a discussion between his mentor Socrates and the eponymous Phaedrus as they walk by the Ilissus River near Athens. Phaedrus asks Socrates if they are not near the spot where Boreas, the North Wind, was supposed to have abducted the maiden Oreithuia. This story is alluded to in most familiar classical sources-Pausanias points out the spot, Apollodorus mentions it, and so does Pherekydes, al¬ though in this case we do not have his own word -rather, Apollonius of Rhodes mentions it in his Argonautica. There was a full account of the tale in a poem by Simonides, but that, unfortunately, doesn’t survive. As a result, about all we know is that Oreithuia, the daughter of Erechtheus, king of Athens, was dancing or gathering flowers with her friends.
W hat the Gorgon Really Was
Authors: Wilk Stephen R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Quotes That Open This Chapter are diametrically opposed to the one that opened Chapter 3, in which Humfry Payne called the Gorgon “one of the most remarkable creations of the archaic period.” I agree with Payne (although I should note that many of the Gorgon parallels from other cultures encroach pretty heavily on Greek originality), but I see the points of Burnham and Bierce. If the Gorgon is meant to be an apotropaic device, as so many claim, then what sort of lily-livered attacker is it capable of scaring off? To be sure, it has the features of a scowling monster. But be truthful-who would really be afraid of that face? Doesn’t its frequent appearances on antefixes, on shields, and on cups and jars dilute what little shock value it may once have had? After all, we in the twentieth century no longer see Gorgons everywhere we look, but even we are used to the sight. In ancient Greece and Rome, as I’ve shown in the last few chapters, the Gorgon was a common motif, repeated endlessly
Setting the Scene
Authors: Coffey David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Second Vatican Council taught that the God of Christians is identical with the God of the Jews and the God of Muslims.1 Commenting on this statement of the council, Aloys Grillmeier writes that what unites Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is “belief in the one Creator, the God of mercy and the Judge” and “the fact that they share the revelation made to Abraham.”2 These three great religions agree, then, both on the unicity and the essential nature of God and on the all-important fact that he seeks out human beings, revealing himself to them progressively through history. Despite these significant points of agreement, however, each religion is unique in its own way. Specifically for Christianity, distinctiveness must rest on the claim it makes for the person of Christ. The most important feature of the claimed uniqueness of Christ can be expressed in two ways, the first of which is functional and directly biblical, and the second ontological and only having its roots in the New Testament. The first is that Christ has been granted by God his own prerogative of being “the Savior of the world” (see Jn 4.42); and the second is that he is confessed as divine, as “of one Being with the Father.”3
Recent Theology

Abstract
In this chapter I complete what I began in the last, the consideration of four selected “Paschal Mystery” theologians of the Trinity. In the last chapter I considered Jurgen Moltmann; in this I shall consider Eberhard Jungel, Heribert Muhlen, and Hans Urs von Balthasar, and I shall conclude with a brief summary of my own conclusions in regard to a trinitarian theology of the cross.
Negative Theology
Authors: Evans G R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Offending God and ‘offending’ the ‘little ones’ by putting stumbling blocks in their way are different things. You cannot put a stumbling-block in God’s way. But it is certainly possible to offend him. One of the things which offends him most is ‘offending’ his ‘little ones’. Bernard saw the ordinary faithful in this light as ‘children in the faith’.2 It is never lawful to cause scandal, or to command what would cause scandal, he insists.3 But you only fall over a stumbling block (scandalum) if you cannot see it. And because they are ‘little ones’, the simple faithful cannot clearly see what is in their way, and so their faith may be damaged when they ‘fall over’ an idea put in their way by an irresponsible person or a heretic.
Political Theology
Authors: Evans G R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
According the Bernard, the highest orders of the angels show us the way we might fly up to God in spirit if we were not weighed down by bodily pressures. They also show us something about God which we might otherwise not see, for they reflect him upon whom they eternally gaze. In the ardent love of the seraphim, for example, we can see a reflection of the way in which God loves with divine generosity, hating nothing he has made. Bernard knows the Ps.-Dionysian orders of angels,2 and he introduces them into the discussion in Book 5 of the De Consideratione. They are described as having distinct roles in the heavenly hierarchy and in their relation to humanity. Bernard approves of the idea of a divinely-appointed diversity in things. Just as the soul sees with its eyes and hears with its ears and smells with its nose and so on, so God brings about different ends through a variety of spirits.
Swami in Wonderland Vivekananda’s Eclectic Hermeneutics
Authors: Hatcher Brian A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Try to imagine a lone Indian holy man disembarking in Vancouver in July 1893 after a long voyage from India by way of Ceylon, Malaya, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. He is dressed in the robes of a monk, but he is dragging with him the steamer trunks and wardrobe of a modern tourist. Hardly has he come ashore than he boards a train for Chicago. The journey will take five days. He has already been traveling for a solid month and has been overwhelmed by the sight of modern battleships in Penang, pigtailed children and fabulous Buddha-images in China, picturesque gardens and bustling factories in Japan. Now he gazes out at the towering mountains of western North America and watches as they gradually give way to cool green forests, expansive prairies, and sprawling farms.
What’s the Connection? India’s Eclectic Heritage
Authors: Hatcher Brian A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Faced with the curious hermeneutics of Vivekananda, we find ourselves tempted to ask both where he got them and how we are to make sense of them. His appeals to the classical philosophical rubrics of lndia certainly suggest there are deep roots for his eclecticism within Indian soil; and yet, the dynamics of colonialism and the demands of Hindu apologetics suggest the determinative conditions were entirely modem. Surely we must hold these two contexts in tension. But then what? Will we have accounted fully for the origins of Vivekananda’s eclectic worldview? Perhaps not, but then again, that probably shouldn’t be our goal.
Inventory Management for the Retailer: Demand Forecasting and Stocking Decisions
Authors: Abernathy Frederick H , Dunlop John T , Hammond Janice H , Weil David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
William Dillard’s simple maxim1 succinctly captures the central-and perennial-inventory challenge facing retail managers. To make a sale, a retailer must have “on its wagon” the product the customer wants. Absence of an item often translates into a lost sale and reduced revenues and profits. The magnitude of such lost sales for retailers can be significant. For example, in 1994, roughly 25 percent of customers who entered a Macy’s store left without making a purchase because the product they were seeking was not available. On the other hand, the retail “wagon” should not be too full, since stocking retail shelves with unpopular items also results in excess costs-the cost of capital tied up in unwanted goods, the opportunity cost of the space that could be used for products that customers would buy if present, and, ultimately, lost margin when retailers must resort to price markdowns or product disposal to clear languishing items from their shelves.
Assembly and the Sewing Room
Authors: Abernathy Frederick H , Dunlop John T , Hammond Janice H , Weil David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Forty years ago, home economics courses in high schools across the country taught cooking, nutrition, and sewing to most schoolgirls. The sewing machine, in its polished wooden cabinet, was an expensive and valued wedding gift. Now the sewing machine, like the type writer, is fast disappearing. The typewriter is being replaced by the computer, and the home sewing machine has become a small, inexpensive portable unit stored in the closet and used for minor repairs and alterations-if it is used at all. There are many reasons for this shift away from home sewing, including the growing number of women in the labor force. But perhaps the main reason is that production of factory-sewn clothing has become increasingly cost effective. It has taken away a time-consuming and often wearying task from the round of daily chores, providing consumers with a wide array of products and styles at reasonable prices. The popularity of casual-wear items like T shirts and jeans-quintessentially factory-sewn garments-has also shifted sewing from home to the factory.
The Global Marketplace
Authors: Abernathy Frederick H , Dunlop John T , Hammond Janice H , Weil David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Although much of this book has focused on the U.S. apparel and textile industries, it is impossible to provide a complete picture of the current transformation they are undergoing without discussing global trade patterns. Indeed, the volume of all goods and services traded in all industries across borders has grown enormously in recent years, accounting for about 45 percent of world gross domestic product in 1990 compared with only 25 percent in 1970. As for the growth of trade in the American economy, in 1960 all international tradeexports plus imports-was equivalent to only 9 percent of gross domestic product. That figure has jumped to a healthy 25 percent, even though trade remains a much smaller component of the U.S. economy than in most countries.
Information-Integrated Channels: Public Policy Implications and Future Directions
Authors: Abernathy Frederick H , Dunlop John T , Hammond Janice H , Weil David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
More than a century ago a major wave of innovations in distribution and production led to the modern department store, the mail-order house, and the chain store, and reshaped their suppliers. The present transformation of retail and manufacturing engendered by new information technologies, production methods, and management practices also fundamentally alters the manner in which industries and firms take raw materials, turn them into a profusion of products, and deliver them to consumers. Although these developments are very much a work in progress, information-integrated channels of production and distribution are emerging.
The Prestige Business

Abstract
I was on a plane from Dallas to Denver to attend a conference of geologists. I was in an aisle seat, and on the other side of the aisle sat three women about a half a dozen years older than I. They were obviously traveling together. I could tell that one of them-the one in the aisle seat-had done a lot of traveling, but for the other two this trip was something of an adventure. I’m one of those people who likes to talk to total strangers on planes. It’s a pleasant environment in which to find out about the variety of people’s jobs and their lives. So I struck up a conversation with the women across the aisle.

Abstract
As a child, I spent one day of every other week at my grandfather’s automotive junkyard. I had a great time wandering through the abandoned Chevys and Cadillacs. I especially liked the cars from the fifties with their hood ornaments, fins, and Jayne Mansfield bumpers. Most of the cars were heavily damaged and were delivered by tow truck. My grandfather collected misplaced keys for these cars and kept them in piles placed in hubcaps in his office.
Why Research?

Abstract
It was cold, windy, and snowing. I was in Yellowstone National Park during the spring of 1996 and I was working outdoors. Fortunately, I have always liked cold weather. I sat next to my computer equipment and my temperature probes alternately connecting wires and entering a computer program on a waterproof keyboard. Because my hands had been frostbitten several times while playing football in middle school and high school, my fingers swelled when I took off my gloves and worked on the electronics.
Matchmaking

Abstract
It was the spring of 1992 and I was listening to a job candidate give a one-hour talk on his research. He was short and slight of build. His voice wavered a bit as he spoke and it was clear that he was nervous. This was typical of job candidate talks and was almost expected. His talk, a staple of any job interview for a professorship, was undoubtedly the most important part of the interview process.
Making Adjustments

Abstract
My family and I were just getting started. Our furniture and boxes had arrived from California after a delay of a few days and, after sleeping on the floor for a week, we fully appreciated the worth of having beds. We spent two days unpacking our stuff and settling into our new home. Then I put the boxes that contained my work materials into our car and headed off to the university. This would be my first day at work. I was anxious to get off to a good start and I had plenty to do. Classes would be starting in a week. I had to get some notes together to start my class. I was in the middle of organizing a scientific conference in my specialty area and I needed to deal with some logistical issues and firm up the speaker list for the conference. I had written to my department chair about a month before, telling him that this was the day I would arrive on campus. I was raring to go.
Flashing Yellow Light: Potential Problems Ahead
Authors: Carey Dennis C , Ogden Dayton , Roland Judith A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We have consistently focused on best practices that leading companies implement to ensure effective succession planning. But as the seventeenth-century Japanese writer Ihara Saikaku noted: “There is always something to upset the most careful of human calculations.”
We’d like to depart from our best-practices format to address some practices that, while not uncommon, are not necessarily recommended. Depending on the circumstances at a particular company at a given time, however, they may represent the best alternative available. Whatever the situation, it is advisable for boards and CEOs to choose a particular route with eyes wide open, aware of the pitfalls inherent in their choice.
Conclusion: Core Principles Yield Best Practices

Abstract
Companies that have their priorities straight regarding roles and responsibilities for succession planning share a number of common best practices. Certainly very few companies would encompass every one of these recommended practices, but drawing from the best of the best, each of the following ten practices makes a statement about how succession is viewed and planned at companies that are serious about implementing and maintaining an effective succession planning process:
The Great RSV Controversy

Abstract
The Reverend Martin Luther Hux, soon-to-be nationwide celebrity, was in many ways a typical country parson. Trained at the Southern Baptist seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, he had organized at age twenty two a new Baptist congregation in Greensboro before eventually winding up as pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Rocky Mount, a manufacturing and distribution center in eastern North Carolina’s rural tobacco-growing region.
False Prophets and Deluded Subjects The Nineteenth Century
Authors: Jenkins Philip 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Modern opposition to cults and cult like behaviour has deep historical roots. The modern cult stereotype is a complex construction, drawing on concepts originally developed to confront several quite distinct religious groups that would over time merge into one barely differentiated attack. When a modern critic attacks a deviant religious group as a cult, the images evoked are ultimately a melange of rumours and allegations variously made against Catholics, Masons, Mormons, Shakers, radical evangelicals, and others. Ant cult rhetoric encapsulates the whole history of American religious polemic. In the 1870s and 1880s, attacks on deviant religions developed something very like their modern form, owing in large part to the emergence of the mass circulation press in those years and the rise of expose journalism.
The Cult Racket Anticult Campaigns, 1920-1940
Authors: Jenkins Philip 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Under the guise of religion, these cults are growing in America and the number of their victims increasing with each succeeding year. If the nation was indeed overrun with messiahs, whether white or black, then it is scarcely surprising to find there was a counterblast from alarmed groups and individuals. By the mid-192os, there emerged a powerful secular critique of the unorthodox religious movements, variously charging that cults wereauthoritarian, exploitative, sexually predatory, antifamily, and downright fraudulent, as well as personally destructive to the health and sanity of cult members.
Prologue

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Although it is doubtless a composite of many separate memories, the image is vivid and powerful. The rabbi/teacher is striding back and forth in front of the classroom. His forehead is furrowed in concentration and he is holding forth. He speaks a breathless, inelegant, ungrammatical Yiddish-English, and yet his sincerity and passion are unmistakable. He speaks as one who bears witness to a great truth, a truth he projects with all his powers to his rapt young listeners.
The Ideology of Affliction Can Jews Survive the End of the Siege?
Authors: Susser Bernard , Liebman Charles S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A stiff-necked people,” God called the Jews. They refused to bow to L”1. the discipline He imposed upon them. They defied His word and rebelled against His will. A stubborn waywardness subverted their calling as the chosen people. They were fickle in their commitments, easily distracted from their responsibilities, and of frustratingly short memory.
American Jews
Authors: Susser Bernard , Liebman Charles S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Nothing manifests the residual power of the “ideology of affliction” more starkly than American Jewry’s preoccupation with the Holocaust and with Israel’s security. They form the axis of contemporary Jewish sensibilities for many American Jews even though both of these concerns are far removed from their existential immediacy. Not only are the Holocaust and Israel’s defenses unrelated to the daily activities and familiar challenges that confront America’s Jews, in some important ways they run profoundly counter to them.
A blueprint for jewish survival
Authors: Susser Bernard , Liebman Charles S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Starting with what seems apparent, Orthodoxy in Israel will survive. Barring startling developments such as a sudden implosion of its dense social networks or a dramatic loss of its inner vitality-prospects that today seem highly remote-the Orthodox give every sign of entering the new millennium fortified by both cohesiveness and dedication. Indeed, for a number of weighty reasons, the prospects for Orthodox survival in Israel seem even more favorable than they do in the United States. First, the Orthodox receive substantial financial support from the Israeli state. Their religious institutions and educational networks enjoy far greater material largesse in Israel than do their Orthodox counterparts in America where a “wall of separation” segregates church from state. Religious elementary and secondary education in Israel, for example, is entirely state-supported. Second, as a multiparty parliamentary system in which the religious parties often exert decisive leverage over policy, the Israeli Orthodox community enjoys a substantial degree of protection for its interests, both material and symbolic. Even during the reign of “national unity” governments that were composed exclusively of the secular Labor and Likud parties, religious interests were not substantially impaired. The secular leadership voluntarily refrained from taking steps that would antagonize the religious parties, knowing full well that in the future they would become, once again, indispensable.
The Ethics of the Gods
Authors: Sadri Mahmoud Sadri Ahmad 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I have always enjoyed writing about ethics. Why should a subject that is at once the groundwork of religion and of life not be delightful? It is, indeed, a daunting subject. There is a kind of sanctity in ethics that places it above analysis, experimentation, and reduction. Behavioral sociology and psychology have been unable to supplant it.
A Banning

Published: November 2023

Abstract
“You May Not Be Allowed to see the banning.” “Only people who have mourned are allowed in the mourning room.” “They might not want you to see it.” I was told these things many times. The secrets of the religion become visible at a banning. The sacredness is most intense at a banning. The sense of important work is strongest at a banning.

Abstract
Converted Religion, Like Other social fabrications, is a product of its biological, historical, and social environment. In previous chapters, I have detailed the structure of Converted cosmology. In this chapter, I look at specific elements of Converted practice and show how they are products of Vincentian so¬ciety, itself set in a process of colonial history.
Comparative History of the Converted Religion
Authors: Zane Wallace W 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
By The 1850s, Police Reports indicate that the Converted religion was established in St. Vincent (Fraser 1995, April 19). It is one of the oldest surviving religions on the island, but it has had to struggle against persecution for most of its history. The religion was outlawed from 1912 to 1965. It was called Shakerism back then, and it still is by some people, but usually derogatorily.

Back in his office at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Chris McKay seems a little uncomfortable. Although his office is bigger than those that many scientists enjoy, he’s a bit too tall and rangy for the space available. His habit of leaping up and hiking over to his filing cabinets, to pull out papers and more papers on Mars and its possible inhabitants, accentuates the sense that he’s yearning for the wide-open spaces.
