America and the World
Author: Lawrence A. Peskin
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM
ISBN: 1421403366
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
This American history explores the country’s role as a globalizing force from the arrival of Columbus to the 21st century. The twenty-first century may be the age of globalization, but America has been at the cutting edge of globalization since Columbus landed here five centuries ago. In America and the World, Lawrence A. Peskin and Edmund F. Wehrle explore America's evolving connections with Europe, Africa, and Asia in the three areas that historically have been indicators of global interaction: trade and industry, diplomacy and war, and the "soft" power of ideas and culture. Divided into four historical phases of globalization, this book considers how international events and trends influenced American as well as how America exerted its own influence—whether economic, cultural, or military—on the world. The authors demonstrate how technology and disease enabled Europeans to subjugate the New World, how colonial American products transformed Europe and Africa, and how post-revolutionary American ideas helped foment revolutions in Europe and elsewhere. Peskin and Wehrle also explore America’s rise to global superpower, and how this power alienated people around the world and bred dissent at home. During the civil rights movement, America borrowed much from the world as it addressed the social issues of the day. At the same time, Americans—especially African Americans—offered a global model for change as the country grappled with racial and gender inequality.

The Message of Worship
Author: John Risbridger
Publisher: Inter-Varsity Press
ISBN: 1783593989
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
The invitation to worship God is the highest privilege of human beings - a privilege squandered by sinful rebellion, but also gloriously restored to us through the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. Biblical worship is a response to God's revelation of himself, empowered by the Holy Spirit, which finds expression in every aspect of human life and experience. At the same time, there is a great deal of music and song in the Bible. Music is a wonderful gift of God in creation, and there is every reason to embrace its riches and harness its power responsibly for the glory of God and the blessing of his people. However, Christians have often been divided over the theology and practice of worship, with differing views about spiritual gifts, the place of liturgy, priorities attached to various functions of the church, the weight given to congregational and 'whole-life' worship, and the role and style of music. While many of these areas are touched on in John Risbridger's excellent exposition, his intention is not to court controversy, but simply to allow Scripture to speak, in the hope of establishing as much common ground as possible. He follows a loosely trinitarian structure, in which the main sections explore the connection between worship and the purpose of the Father, the supremacy of the Son and life of the Holy Spirit. Each section concludes with two chapters on the Psalms, in which we hear a variety of 'voices', and learn to join their distinctive song.

Destruction Was My Beatrice
Author: Jed Rasula
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465066941
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
In 1916, as World War I raged around them, a group of bohemians gathered at a small nightclub in Zurich, Switzerland for a series of bizarre performances. Three readers simultaneously recited a poem in three languages; a monocle-wearing teenager performed a spell from New Zealand; another young man flung bits of papier-mâché into the air and glued them into place where they landed. One of these artists called the sessions “both buffoonery and a requiem mass.” Soon they would be known by a more evocative name: Dada. In Destruction Was My Beatrice, modernist scholar Jed Rasula presents the first narrative history of the emergence, decline, and legacy of Dada, showing how this strange artistic phenomenon spread across Europe and then the world in the wake of the Great War, fundamentally reshaping modern culture in ways we’re still struggling to understand today.

The Bombshell Manifesto

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Today's Christian woman is given hundreds of different messages each day about who she should be, what she should do, and how she should look and act. What's a girl to do? To get out of overwhelm and confusion, we need to take it back to an absolute - the game-changing reality of the Gospel. Women are uniquely fitted to bring the Gospel into the world - God chose a woman to birth the Savior, and the first Gospel message was spread by a woman after Christ's resurrection. But when the female body is the target of so much misuse and so many lies, and the female identity always seems to be under critique or attack, how can we develop a clear game plan for living for God in a powerful way with the special female nature that He gave us? We need a manifesto for women who want to carry the truth of the Word into cultures around the world - and into their own homes. A simple guidebook for discovering, cultivating, and living out the expression of a Biblical woman - which has always had incredible impact in the world, and which can carry the Bombshell of the Good News in an absolutely remarkable way. We need a Bombshell Manifesto. Join Jackie Dixon as she leads you through her personal wrestle with the various female identities presented to women today, and the development of the 12 Pillars of a Biblical Bombshell - a woman dedicated to carrying the Gospel into the world in a fiercely feminine way. From the often overlooked essentials of our relationship with God, to how we see and treat our bodies, beauty, and interactions with men, to sex and money and balancing tact and truth in a winsome way in acrimonious cultures, these are the twelve foundational areas of a woman's life that, when mastered, set her up to be a powerful witness to the world of the only truth that can ever set us free. Ready, Bombshell?
