Book Description
Bill Sims, a highly respected college professor, while working on a master's degree in religious studies, had cemented in memory these poignant words of Father Earl Jones, a Jesuit priest and professor: "True science should never conflict with true religion. Science is based on measurement and observation and religion on philosophy and logic; the two, though based on different studies, should complement each other, not conflict." Later in his career, driven by those wise professor's words, Sims made the decision to devote a major amount of time to design, construct, and teach a college-level religious course having the express purpose of employing logic and common sense. He hoped to help students and perhaps others to avoid mental, physical, and spiritual roadblocks caused by science vs. religion controversies, which have been known to freeze the paving of one's pathway to Heaven. Sims asked the students to travel with him and then walked them through the Old and New Testaments, alpha through omega and beyond while answering their questions and concerns. His classroom discussions were full of surprises, so be prepared to be pleased or annoyed depending on where you're coming from and where you hope to be in life's journey.

Pictures of Poverty
Author: Lydia Jakobs
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0861969863
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
From Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist to George Sims's How the Poor Live, illustrated accounts of poverty were en vogue in Victorian Britain. Poverty was also a popular subject on the screen, whether in dramatic retellings of well-known stories or in 'documentary' photographs taken in the slums. London and its street life were the preferred setting for George Robert Sims's rousing ballads and the numerous magic lantern slide series and silent films based on them. Sims was a popular journalist and dramatist, whose articles, short stories, theatre plays and ballads discussed overcrowding, drunkenness, prostitution and child poverty in dramatic and heroic episodes from the lives and deaths of the poor. Richly illustrated and drawing from many previously unknown sources, Pictures of Poverty is a comprehensive account of the representation of poverty throughout the Victorian period, whether disseminated in newspapers, illustrated books and lectures, presented on the theatre stage or projected on the screen in magic lantern and film performances. Detailed case studies reveal the intermedial context of these popular pictures of poverty and their mobility across genres. With versatile author George R. Sims as the starting point, this study explores the influence of visual media in historical discourses about poverty and the highly controversial role of the Victorian state in poor relief.
