Ideas in Exile: The Struggles of an Upright Man
Authors: Gigerenzer Gerd 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The sparkling intellectual atmosphere of early twentieth-century Vienna produced Ludwig Wittgenstein, Karl Popper, Otto Neurath, and Kurt Godel-in addition to a string of other great thinkers. Among them was Karl Buhler, who, when he founded the Vienna Psychological Institute in 1922, was one of the foremost psychologists in the world. Egon Brunswik began to study psychology in Vienna in 1923 and soon became an active participant in Buhler’s famous Wednesday-evening discussion group; Thursdays he went to Moritz Schlick’s Thursday-evening discussion group (Leary, 1987). Schlick was the founder and leading member of the European school of positivist philosophers known as the Vienna Circle. In 1927, Brunswik submitted his doctoral thesis to Buhler and Schlick, the same two advisers to whom Karl Popper submitted his thesis a year later.
Prologue: Looking at Romans
Authors: Bryan Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book is, among other things, an attempt to examine Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans in its literary and cultural setting. Originally I intended it to follow the pattern of my earlier study, A Preface to Mark: that is to say, in the former of two parts I would try to show which literary type or genre would have been seen by Paul’s contemporaries as exemplified in the Letter to the Romans, and in the latter, how Romans works as a piece of literature, and what we may understand from it of Paul’s intentions and hopes. As with A Preface to Mark, and reflecting the fact that the literature that composes what we now call “the New Testament” was not created in a vacuum, the study as a whole was also to involve discussion of and comparison with other literature from Paul’s time, place, and milieu—including, of course, other writings attributed to Paul. As I look now at A Preface to Romans completed, I still hope that this describes, more or less, what I have written.
The Letter to the Romans, the Jewish Scriptures, and the Law
Authors: Bryan Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
According to Paul, his “gospel” was foretold by Scripture and accords with Scripture, and so both upholds and fulfills the Law (1.2, 3.21, 3.31, rn.4). This, as I intend to show, is argued from the beginning to the end of Romans. Before attempting that demonstration, it will be useful, however, to reflect on three preliminary questions.
Introduction

Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the autumn of 1799, very near the occasion of his twenty-fourth birthday, Ebenezer Francis Newell (1775-1867) left his family home in Worcester County, Massachusetts, to seek his fortune abroad. Arriving at the coast, he booked passage to London. But Newell was persuaded to forego the voyage by a kindly ship captain who regarded the “old Country” as a “corrupt place” that offered nothing of profit to “a young man without much money.”1 Newell determined to enroll in the study of navigation ashore before embarking on a career at sea. He boarded with a Methodist deacon named Watson, who possessed a library stocked with the writings of John Wesley and a parlor with two pictures that attracted Newell’s attention (figs. 1 and 2).
Talking Pictures
Authors: Morgan David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In his instructive social history of print and visual propaganda during the German Reformation, R. W Scribner contended that the Reformation was “part of a movement from an image to a print culture.”1 But print culture did not mean aniconic or anti-iconic culture. The Reformation ignited an explosion of printed imagery in chapbooks, tracts, broadsides, and illustrated Bibles. What Scribner had in mind was a tectonic shift from the cult image as the site of authority to the printed text and image as the circulating, mechanically reproduced source of authority. The change eventuated new relationships between visual and textual signs that responded to new literacies and the cultural politics of representation. Printed words and images were conjoined in scientific and scholarly literatures but also and on a much larger scale in popular genres such as broad sides, maps, histories,primers, and almanacs.
The Devotional Likeness of Christ
Authors: Morgan David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
While explicit millennialist theology ebbed and even all but vanished among many Protestants in the second half of the nineteenth century, the rhetoric, national expectations, and cultural politics of postmillennialism remained very much in place. Many American Protestants still thought of their faith as world-redeeming; as constitutive of a nation that enjoyed a manifest and now global destiny; as capable of unifying and mobilizing Christendom into a single force that would champion religious and political liberty; and as the mainstay of a church that should recognize no bounds in disseminating its evangelical message, adapting every technological means at its disposal.
Religious Art and the Formation of Character
Authors: Morgan David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The task confronting Protestant educators was how to incorporate mass-produced images of fine art into the pedagogy of nurture. Efforts at solving this resulted in innovations in religious education and lesson plan publication as well as a devotionalizing of artistic imagery. In order to understand the new context for the deployment of images it is necessary to examine important changes in Sunday school teaching in the first decade of the twentieth century.
Gandhi’s Passion
Authors: Wolpert Stanley 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Mahatma Gandhi passionately courted suffering thoroughout most of his life. The intensity of Gandhi's yogic resolve to dedicate himself to the nationalist struggle for liberating India from British imperial rule inspired millions of ordinary people to follow his passionate lead on the arduous road to freedom. Gandhi taught his followers to set aside fear of prison, physical punishment, or death, while at the same time insisting that violence had no place in the Satyagraha campaign, arguing that non-violence or love was the essence of God. Early influenced by the non-violence teachings of Jainism, Jesus Christ, and Buddha, Gandhi insisted throughout the last six decades of his life on the primacy of love for one's adversary in any conflict, convinced that this mighty power would ultimatle disarm the cruelest enemy. He developed passionate techniques of non-violent struggle against the racial and political discrimination and injustice first in South Africa and then in India. In addition to his political leadership, Gandhi was also a religious reformer, who worked to try to remove the stain of untouchability from Hinduism's outcasts. Inspired by Ruskin, Tolstoy and Thoreau, he also renounced industrial violence and pollution and took up cotton-spinning, revitalizing India's handicrafts industry, which had been all but destroyed by foreign industrial competition. Paradoxically, though hailed as free India's father, Gandhi was never invited by his closest Congress disciples to join them in running India's first government. And though he was worshipped by millions of Hindus as their virtual god, a Brahman of his own faith, supported by many others, assassinated him. Gandhi's face adorns India's currency today and his birthday is still nationally celebrated, yet the long-term impact of his message of love and non-violence is unclear in modern India's nuclear-armed industrial state.
Introduction

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Gandhi’ s passion has Indian historical roots that predate Jesus by more than two thousand years. Hinduism’ s Great God Shiva, yogic Lord of Beasts and of the Dance, was first depicted on an Indus Valley seal dating back to the third millennium B.C. Among the skills honed by yogis, including breath and mind control, none is more potent or important than tapas, a Sanskrit word meaning “suffering.”

Abstract
This book is about competitive advantage—and more specifically about how firms create competitive advantages through effective inter firm collaboration. During the past two decades we have wit-nessed the rise: of “strategic management” as a distinct field of study, the goal of which is to help firms achieve sustainable competitive advantage. With the emergence of the strategy field has come a plethora of new approaches for achieving a competitive edge, each offering new ideas for improving profits and performance.
Down and Out in Vegas
Authors: Garcia Malcolm 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I follow Alan to the park. We emerge from the sour kitchen and cross the parking lot to the corner of Owens Avenue and main Street. The afternoon glare of the Las Vegas sun hurts my eyes, and the dry air constricts my throat. Alan squints at the ground, stopping from time to time to inspect sudden flashes of light. Loose change or an aluminum-foil gum wrapper? He carries a plastic shopping bag steaming with wet clothes. we wade through sheaths of heat in what was once a shopping mall but now resembles a reservation for outcasts.

Abstract
from the window of an airplane, the city of Las Vegas appears like a vast oasis in the middle of the drab .Mojave desert. The emerald green of golf courses contrasts with the flashes of aqua from thousands of backyard pools and the deeper blue of scattered artificial lakes and ponds. On almost any day in the streets below, you can sec water flowing along the curbs and into the gutters, runoff from sprinkled lawns of Kentucky bluegrass and dusty driveways being hosed dean.
Houses of the Holy
Authors: Leibovich Lori 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A charismatic host welcomes one thousand spectators to a night of singing, sharing, and live entertainment. Lite rock wafts from a dimly lit stage as ushers hand out programs and escort older women to their sea ts. The crowd sits on folding chairs, eyes gazing at the large movie screen unfurled before them. A catchy TV tune begins playing over the sound system; whispers hiss through the audience as it recognizes the theme song from The Andy Grfffeth Show. Anxiously, the crowd waits for the main event.
Impossibility
Authors: Barrow John P 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In Impossibility, John D. Barrow—one of our most elegant and accomplished science writers—argues convincingly that there are limits to human discovery, that there are things that are ultimately unknowable, undoable, or unreachable. Barrow first examines the limits of the human mind: our brain evolved to meet the demands of our immediate environment, and much that lies outside this small circle may also lie outside our understanding. He investigates practical impossibilities, such as those imposed by complexity, uncomputability, or the finiteness of time, space, and resources. Is the universe finite or infinite? Can information be transmitted faster than the speed of light? The book also examines deeper theoretical restrictions on our ability to know, including Godel’s theorem, which proved that there were things that could not be proved. Finally, having explored the limits imposed on us from without, Barrow considers whether there are limits we should impose upon ourselves. Weaving together this intriguing tapestry, Barrow illuminates some of the most profound questions of science, from the possibility of time travel to the very structure of the universe.
The Scandal Of Particularity:Hans Urs Van Balthasar And The Limits Of Ecumenical Dialogue
Authors: Oakes Edward T 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Few theologians of this century have demonstrated a more consistent commitment to the demands of ecumenical theology than Geoffrey Wainwright. In season and out, he has keyed his work to Christ’s prayer that “they may all be one, as you, Father, are one in me and I in you” (John 17:21). Indeed it would hardly be an exaggeration to say that every major essay, article, and book Wainwright has written has ecumenical implications. Moreover, he has maintained this ecumenical modulation at a time when, in both Church and society, one can detect a massive “retrenchment into particularity” (a trend often misleadingly labeled “funda-mentalism” by an unthinking press). The attentive observer cannot help but notice how individual Churches are increasingly stressing their specific heritage and theological uniqueness while the culture at large moves almost en masse into postmodern philosophies that explicitly deny the possibility of finding any common ground of discourse across disciplines or cultures. In fact, the postmodern temper would condemn at the outset any such search for a common ground as being inherently “hegemonic” and “controlling.”
Methodist Identity And Ecumenical Perspective
Authors: Klaiber Walter F 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The ecumenical future of Methodism in Europe is still open. On the one hand, there are many visible signs of increased unity. The British Conference is making another attempt to come into a closer relationship to the Church of England.1 Most of the “daughters” of British Methodism on the continent have found their way into Church unions (with the exception of the Methodist Church in Portugal, which recently became autonomous). In the last ten years, United Meth But on the other hand, when we look at ecumenical life on the practical level, we have to admit that-although there is in principle an agreement on communion in faith and sacramental life-communion in mission is rather weak. One of the strange features of ecumenical life in Europe is that in Great Britain, where there is still no defined communion between the Anglican and Methodist Churches, there are hundreds of”Local Ecumenical Partnerships” -whereas in Germany, where we have full communion between the Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland and the Methodist Church, there are only two or three such partnerships.
Second-Person Accounts and the Problem of Evil
Authors: Stump Eleonore 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It has become customary in philosophy to distinguish between what is often called a third-person point of view and a first-person point of view. The difference is hard to define precisely but easy to illustrate; it is perhaps most notable in philosophy of mind.1 When, from my first-person point of view, I observe the mind I know best, my own, I am aware of beliefs, doubts, questions, desires, inclinations, willings, and things of this sort. But if a neurologist were to examine me, what he would perceive from his third-person point of view is something very different. He would observe synapses, neurochemicals and their receptors, neurons, clumps of nuclei and bands of fibers, topological maps, and things of this sort. He would not see beliefs and desires. None of the things he finds from his third-person point of view are observable to me from my first-person point of view when I introspect; and what I find from my first-person point of view, beliefs and desires and the rest, is not apparent to the neurologist from his third-person point of view.
Social Transformation as Return of Story Tradition
Authors: Billington James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
There are, I take it, two premises underlying this discussion. One is that story rather than theory is the better way to understand reality as far as human beings are concerned; and the second is that the Judeo-Christian tradition is best understood as story rather than as theory. The astonishing developments in Russia in August 1991, which I was privileged to witness, illustrate, I believe, both of these propositions in a rich, interconnected way that I will try to describe.
Conclusion
Authors: Belfiore Elizabeth S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book presents a great deal of evidence, based on close analysis of both extant and lost plays, that harm to philoi is a generic characteristic of ancient Greek tragedy. Chapter 1 surveyed the nature of biological and social philia relationships in Greek literature and society and showed that tragedy differs from epic in emphasizing incidents in which philos harms philos. Chapters 2-6 examined in detail five of the extant plays, in each of which harm to philoi is important in a different way. In Iphigenia in Tauris, killing of blood kin is first threatened and then avoided by recognition.
Rufus Anderson and the Historiography of Missions
Authors: Harris Paul William 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Those words of the Apostle Paul could have served as the watchword of midnineteenthcentury American Protestant missionaries, much as ‘‘the evangelization of the world in this generation’’ rallied missionaries of a later era. The verse seemed to capture the simplicity of apostolic missionary methods and thus served as the theological basis for policies designed to promote a similar economy in modern missions. To preach the gospel pure and simple became the ideal of missionary practice, which resulted in relegating schools and the press (and medical work to the extent that it was regarded as a distinct department) to a subordinate place. Those priorities were also justified by rejecting the theory that ‘‘civilization must precede Christianization’’ in the conversion of ‘‘heathen’’ nations. Flushed with the success of evangelical revivals during the Second Great Awakening, mid-nineteenth-century Protestants proclaimed their confidence in the ability of the Holy Spirit to convert sinners without elaborate preparatory measures. Yet despite the general consensus that preaching was the ‘‘grand instrumentality’’ in missions, considerable disagreement existed over the practical implications of that ideal.
Self-Denial and Civilization
Authors: Harris Paul William 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In bestowing the name of Brainerd on their first station among the Cherokees, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (A.B.C.F.M.) honored the eighteenth-century missionary more for his character than for his methodology. The reverence bestowed on the memory of David Brainerd was one of the most lasting—and, to contemporary historians, one of the most puzzling—features of evangelical missionary culture. As noted in the previous chapter, Brainerd’s brief missionary career was not particularly distinguished. Although his achievements in the field had given him a measure of celebrity while he lived, Brainerd’s enduring sainthood rested on the posthumous publication of his diary as edited by Jonathan Edwards. The Life of David Brainerd embodied the Edwardsian doctrine of ‘‘disinterested benevolence’’ and made Brainerd a powerful inspiration and role model for generations of missionary recruits.
Educational Ends and Means
Authors: Harris Paul William 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Schooling has served many different, sometimes contradictory purposes during American history. As a socializing institution, education has always served to instill the values of the dominant culture in the nation’s youth, often in ways deeply destructive to the student’s ethnic identity. The trade-off for such a loss of identity has been the promise of social acceptance and economic opportunity, so that schools have served simultaneously to perpetuate the status quo and to promote social mobility. Broader tensions in the dominant culture have also found their way into the socializing experiences taking place in schools. For example, although many educators and parents have defined the values of the dominant culture in terms of their own Protestant beliefs, public schooling has also had a profound secularizing influence on American culture, both because of the demand for nonsectarianism in a pluralist society and because the wider world of learning to which students are introduced can be corrosive of traditional verities. In other ways as well, students often put their school experience to uses unintended by the educational system. They may value schooling primarily for the opportunity to socialize with their peers, for instance, thus creating the potential for the educational system to spawn generational conflict and undermine the values it is supposed to uphold.
The Deputation to India
Authors: Harris Paul William 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Leonard Bacon called it ‘‘the coup d’e´tat of 1854.’’ That year, the Prudential Committee of the A.B.C.F.M. delegated Rufus Anderson and the Reverend Augustus Thompson, a committee member and Anderson’s pastor at the Eliot Church in Roxbury, to visit the board’s missions in India and Sri Lanka. They hoped that in face-to-face meetings with the missionaries, Anderson and Thompson could resolve a number of thorny issues, the most pressing of which involved educational policy. That same year, the British government launched a major initiative to furnish grants in aid to missionary schools that offered advanced instruction in English. Their action gave added impetus to educational policies that were already two decades old, and missionaries who were feeling pressured by a growing demand for English-language instruction now rushed to take advantage of governmental largesse. A request from the Bombay Mission to open such an English high school provided the immediate occasion for sending the American Board deputation.
The Kinship of Soul and Platonic Form
Authors: Cary Phillip 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For the most part, we in the West still take it for granted that we can talk about an inmost self and conceive of it as an inner world, a sort of private interior realm where we are most at home and most ourselves. Many still find this concept indispensable, as if we human beings would lose sight of some important part of ourselves without it. Yet such talk is hardly universal or necessary for human life. It is not an inevitable part of human self-description, in contrast (say) to such concepts as perception, life, and mortality. Nor is it as widespread in the cultures of the world as the notion that human beings seek happiness, want to know the truth, can be good or evil, can come close to the divine or be far away. Human beings can describe themselves in emotional, ethical, and religious terms without recourse to the conception of a private inner world. Indeed before Augustine everyone seems to have found it natural to do so, having no notion that there was an alternative.
The texts of the Western tradition bear witness to this. Not only the Bible but Plato and Aristotle and the rest of classical philosophy could say what they had to say about human nature without invoking the private inner space that modern Westerners find so familiar and intimate a part of themselves.
The Origin of Inner Space
Authors: Cary Phillip 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the previous two chapters we have seen that Augustine’s mature brand of inwardness requires a conception of the human soul as a place in which to find God, that is neverthless not the same as God and therefore can be separated and cut off from him. Augustine needs to conceive the fallen soul as an inner space that is private—quite a different kind of place from the intelligible world, which is the inner self of the Plotinian soul. Hence in this chapter we must see how Augustine actually goes about conceiving or constructing this new kind of inner space. For of course it is not literally a space and therefore it takes some special work to conceive of it. The crucial conceptual question about it is: in what sense of the word “in” are things present in it? Especially urgent for Augustine, of course, is the more specific question: in what sense can God be found in it?
