Book Description
In Goodness Personified, Leslie Margolin challenges the most common assumptions underlying gifted education. His analysis of the gifted child movement shows how scholars formed the concept of giftedness in their writings, how they provided detailed documentation of the characteristics such children were thought to embody, and how they managed to spread that vision to a community of believers. In doing so, he demonstrates that social "assets" as well as social "problems" can be viewed as social constructions, the products of competing claims

Being and Goodness
Author: Scott MacDonald
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501728377
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
The intuition that there is a necessary connection between being and goodness has guided a philosophical tradition that includes Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Boethius, and Aquinas; but surprisingly, the details of this legacy remain relatively unknown. In exploring this tradition of philosophical reflection on the nature of goodness, the twelve essays in this book (all but two published here for the first time) present some of the best recent historical scholarship in medieval philosophy and make available to nonspecialists an array of sophisticated treatments of issues that remain central to metaphysics and philosophical theology. The contributors, leading philosophers and scholars of medieval philosophy, represent a variety of points of view and take diverse methodological approaches. They address the works of figures from Augustine and Boethius to Suarez, Descartes, and Leibniz, but focus particularly on thirteenth-century thinkers, especially Aquinas.

Seeking Out Goodness
Author: Alexandra Kuykendall
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493432885
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Most of us feel the world is more contentious and less civil than it was a generation ago, or a few years ago, or maybe even last week. We long to be reassured that everything is going to be okay, that God is still at work, even in small ways. The good news is, even when our circumstances change, God does not. He is still in control, and he still offers us good gifts. We just have to know where to look for them. Exploring the beautiful admonition found in Philippians 4:8 to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy, author Alexandra Kuykendall encourages us to keep seeking out goodness even when we are mired in a time of fear, division, and negativity. Through personal stories and clear biblical insight, Alex helps us see God at work right now, right in our midst, no matter how messy life feels. She helps us appreciate other people even when we disagree with them, move past false dichotomies, celebrate goodness in others when we find it, and hope for a brighter tomorrow even as we celebrate the good gifts we receive today.

Job & the Gospel of Suffering
Author: Robert Sydney Reyes
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1609578848
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
- The story of Job told for the first time with clarity, non-contradiction, understanding and coherence. - The true Christian Suffering: What is it, how and why it must be entered and what is its purpose - all great surprises for every saint of God, small or great. - The prevailing "gospel or suffering" is debunked, freeing the Christian truly to STAND confidently, without fear, in Christ for victory after victory and for his/her crown of life. This read will quicken the steps in the way of the Lord, lift the head in expectation, assurance and hope, and cause the heart to rejoice (Paulinian Boast) in the merciful, gracious and unchanging (predictable and reliable) GOOD ALMIGHTY. This work tackles some traditional and absurd teachings on the Book of Job along with that accompanying "Gospel of Suffering," which some have built to support these teachings. It removes the darkness from God's character and sets the disciple of Christ free to stand in the light of a good God who does not tempt (test or try) his saints. It shows that the statement by the young Elihu, that God will not afflict, is not only true in itself, but is the unfailing word of God. All readers, from the young Christian to the elder, will come away with a joyful freshness in the knowledge of the true Sovereignty of God. And burdens carried long now, and unnecessarily, will fall from many. Robert Sydney Reyes was added by the Lord to the Church several decades ago. He is not a scholar nor an expert, nor is he degreed in Theology. He owes no allegiance to any religious organization but accepts, as he should and must, all true children of God as his brethren, as he with them in the divine purpose mature into the stature of the fullness of Christ and await the certain return of our Lord Jesus Christ for all the saints. "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
