Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark work is the first academic study of a figure who played a defining role in the Australian evangelical movement of the late twentieth century--the inimitable preacher, evangelist, and churchman John C. Chapman. The study situates Chapman's career within the secularizing Western cultures of the post-1960s--a period bringing momentous changes to the social and religious fabric of Western society. At the same time, global Evangelicalism was reviving, bringing vitality to large swathes in the Global South and a re-balancing in Western societies as conservative religious movements experienced growth and even renewal amidst wider secularizing trends. Against this backdrop the study explores the way in which, across a wide array of domestic and international fora, Chapman contended for the soteriological priority of the gospel in Christian life, mission, and thought. Accomplished via an absorbing blend of personal wit, impassioned oratory, innovative missiological strategy, and striking theological perception, the result was a stimulating history of public advocacy that sought a revival of confidence in Evangelicalism's message, and a constantly reforming vision of Evangelicalism's method. Such a legacy marks Chapman as a central figure within the generation of postwar leaders whose work has given Australian Evangelicalism its contemporary shape and dynamism.

Download or read book The Red and the Real written by Jonathan Cohen and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2009-06-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red and the Real offers a new approach to longstanding philosophical puzzles about what colors are and how they fit into the natural world. Jonathan Cohen argues for a role-functionalist treatment of color - a view according to which colors are identical to certain functional roles involving perceptual effects on subjects. Cohen first argues (on broadly empirical grounds) for the more general relationalist view that colors are constituted in terms of relations betweenobjects, perceivers, and viewing conditions. He responds to semantic, ontological, and phenomenological objections against this thesis, and argues that relationalism offers the best hope of respecting both empirical results and ordinary belief about color. He then defends the more specific rolefunctionalist-account by contending that the latter is the most plausible form of color relationalism.

Download or read book Discovery In Sunshine written by A. B. Bishop and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did Beth volunteer to do? She was about to drive a semi-tractor-trailer rig across the country. But there were no maps, no diesel, no communication, and no truck stops. Discovery in Sunshine is a story set in a period of postapocalyptic recovery from volcanoes, floods, fires, and loss of cities and lives within western North America. Her family had developed a better way to collect, store, and save solar power to effectively run heavy transport trucks. Their company needed to prove the effectiveness of this development by doing a test-drive across parts of the country without other fuels. They installed their technology on a truck and trailer that would carry food and medicine. They convinced groups engaged in the transportation industry to support this test. The test would be a trial run from Canada to Mexico by women and men in a semi-tractor-trailer rig mapping roads and finding what cities and peoples had survived. They were without knowledge of what they might encounter and how well this technology would serve them over a month's time. This travel route was without communication, a power grid, or seaports to supply goods. They had hope, grit, and determination. Beth will start on this journey with a physician who wants to find her family. What will they find? What impact can they make?

Download or read book Phenomenal Sydney written by Marcia Cameron and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Diocese of Sydney is admired, hated, loved, and feared. While often criticized as no longer Anglican, it has at its heart an adherence to classic Anglicanism. While to some it is a beacon in the darkness, to others it is like a threatening bushfire. It is very large, very wealthy, and very influential in other places. Its opposition to ordaining women priests, and, in many parishes, to women preaching, mystifies and angers many Anglicans within and outside its boundaries. What makes this diocese such a phenomenon? The answer lies in its history: in the men and women who shaped it, in a particular view of the authority of the Bible, and in the influence wielded by some powerful institutions that have prospered. Its energy comes from the Scriptural mandate for mission: to bring the outsider into the community of Christian people, but not to leave it there. To educate them in the knowledge of Christ in a variety of creative and imaginative ways. This book also looks at what Sydney has done badly. It may help readers to learn from its past achievements and its mistakes.
