Passion for the Inner City (eBook, ePUB)

"There is little credibility in healing a privileged world. If the Church is failing the powerless of this world, it is failing the Gospel totally."In 1971, two priests from a Catholic order left their monastery in order to reinvent the contemplative life amid a Liverpool community oppressed by poverty and systemic racism. Foreshadowing the 'new monastic' movement, the members of a 300-year-old religious order began to translate the radical, self-sacrificial values of monastic living into an open, hospitable, practical life on the margins of society.Passion for the Inner City is a probing spiritual reflection on the first twelve years of Austin Smith's life in the inner city. He describes a new model of faith-not just giving up his possessions, but letting go of assumptions, dependencies, all his rationalisations-until he sees the poorest in society outside of his own agendas. By living and suffering alongside them, he calls out the deep offensiveness of the inequality we daily permit.With stories, insights and reflections, Passion for the Inner City is a fascinating account of 'old' monasticism embracing the challenges of the present, and also a trove of wisdom and challenges that still have sharp questions to ask anyone pursuing their faith today."I have gone on marches in the inner city; I have fought for better housing; I have been part of the struggle for better education for our children; I have stood on the street in riots; I have been part and parcel of the struggle for community power; I have set my face against my own racism and the racism of others. Why? Because I believe where creation is sinned against, where human beings suffer, Jesus is being crucified."

Violence: A Very Short Introduction (eBook, ePUB)

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Violence is part and parcel of human history and of human nature. It is one of our most distinctive traits, the one thing that all cultures and societies, across time, share in common. It has defined not only the ways in which individuals relate to each other, but also how collective entities and states have interacted with each other over the millennia. All societies are violent and all individuals have the capacity for violence. However, not all societies and not all individuals are equally violent, and nor does violence exist with the same intensity across cultures. This Very Short Introduction examines the more visible, physical acts of violence - interpersonal, gendered, collective, religious, sexual, criminal, and political - in the modern world. It explores how violence in the pre-modern world was different from the modern world, and what is significant about those differences. It also discusses what violence is by examining understandings of the ideas, values, and cultural practices embedded in an act of violence, and considering acts of violence as the outcome of a process dependent on the cultural context in which they take place. Along the way Dwyer considers some core questions, asking whether violence is always 'bad', and if there are any limits to human violence? Why is it that what was once considered acceptable - wife beating, duelling, slavery - at some point becomes unacceptable in some societies and cultures, and yet continues in others? And finally, are we becoming more or less violent? ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Secrets of Mental Math - Master the Art: Advanced Calculation and Memorization All in Your Head , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min

Mathematics is not a new subject to us because almost everyone knows how to count either with fingers or pen and paper in whichever language we are comfortable with. Math is not only the game of numbers but also the language of nature. As a matter of fact, it has been established through research that the more we understand our universe, the more we discover interesting mathematical connections. For instance, flowers have spirals that are carefully lined up in a special sequence of numbers commonly referred to as Fibonacci numbers. This sequence can be studied, understood, and generated. A study on seashells also revealed that they form perfect mathematical curves known as logarithmic spirals that originate from a chemical balance. Apart from the flowers and seashells, star clusters also form a mathematical arrangement in the way they tag on one another. This has been observed through astronomical studies. Scientists including mathematicians have spent centuries trying to discover the nature of math and how to develop a mastery of the same. It is possible to get comfortable with calculations of any nature as long as you discover the secrets behind the numbers. The reason why it is important to unravel and enhance your command of math is because numbers are part and parcel of our daily lives, even in ways that at times we don't notice. For example, if you need to call someone, you need a phone number. The time you spend on your phone conversation is measured in hours and minutes, which are also numbers. Think of any date in history, including your birthday, graduation day or just any other significant day and you will find that recording it in numbers is much easier than in any other form. This book will show you the tricks and shortcuts that will make math so intriguing. You will definitely impress your friends and colleagues with your lightning fast calculating ability. ungekürzt.

Comparative study of basic doctrines of Islam and Buddhism

Introduction Religion is a crucial part of what is often called human culture, a term referring to the total context of symbols, images and concepts that shapes human worldview of the world. Books, music, paintings, political ideas, marriages, funerals, school systems, social clubs all are part and parcel of human culture. The purpose of such diverse elements is to help humans to understand their world, to live in it as creative and productive people, and to contemplate how and why they live and what their lives are for. Religion is deeply concerned with these questions of making sense and meaning. Because of this, the study of religion is likely to require the same interpretative techniques that humans use in examining and understanding other aspects of culture. Religion can be looked at from the outside, men can count people who attend church, describe the shape of religious buildings, and list the names of gods and devils that are worshipped or feared. But practicing the religion can provide them with a very full understanding of the purpose of religion at a deeper level. Therefore, they need to look at religion from the inside, searching for the meanings provided by religious symbols, asking about the inner experiences of the believer, looking for the interpretations given to the words, sounds and shapes. 1 Historically, there have been various kinds of religions and cultures in human history. Some religions no longer exist in the modern world. Many religions still exist nowadays, and they have millions of followers such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and so on. When societies exhibit religious diversity, it means that human beings have different kinds of ideas, attitudes and understandings toward the universe, life, death, and ways of life. Long-developed traditional and historical religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc., have their own belief forms and spiritual frameworks.2 Furthermore, the expansion of religions through missionary movements and traders has increased the interaction between each faith. Currently, some religions are trying to understand the core conceptions of ,
