Book Description
Bolin analyses biblical and extra-biblical traditions and motifs in the book of Jonah, and argues that the book's portrayal of the relationship between God and humanity, much like those of Job and Ecclesiastes, emphasizes an absolute divine sovereignty beyond human notions of mercy, justice, or forgiveness. God is understood as free to forgive, yet he still punishes, and is unfettered by the constraints imposed by attributes of benevolence. The only proper human response to God is fear at his power and acknowledgment of him as the source of welfare and woe.

Freedom Beyond Sovereignty
Author: Sharon R. Krause
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022623472X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
What does it mean to be free? We invoke the word frequently, yet the freedom of countless Americans is compromised by social inequalities that systematically undercut what they are able to do and to become. If we are to remedy these failures of freedom, we must move beyond the common assumption, prevalent in political theory and American public life, that individual agency is best conceived as a kind of personal sovereignty, or as self-determination or control over one’s actions. In Freedom Beyond Sovereignty, Sharon R. Krause shows that individual agency is best conceived as a non-sovereign experience because our ability to act and affect the world depends on how other people interpret and respond to what we do. The intersubjective character of agency makes it vulnerable to the effects of social inequality, but it is never in a strict sense socially determined. The agency of the oppressed sometimes surprises us with its vitality. Only by understanding the deep dynamics of agency as simultaneously non-sovereign and robust can we remediate the failed freedom of those on the losing end of persistent inequalities and grasp the scope of our own responsibility for social change. Freedom Beyond Sovereignty brings the experiences of the oppressed to the center of political theory and the study of freedom. It fundamentally reconstructs liberal individualism and enables us to see human action, personal responsibility, and the meaning of liberty in a totally new light.

Path of Freedom : Beyond The Words
Author: Aditya Tripathi
Publisher: Blue Rose Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
In English-medium schools across India, the stories and personalities being taught in English and moral education have no connection to Indian culture. Situations are distorted in English literature, where Halloween is taught instead of Holi. Instead of explaining concepts like Karma Yoga, scriptures like the Bible or foreign elements are imposed. The responsibility for this lies with authors, not governments or policymakers. Those who write in English in India are mental slaves, often distancing themselves from Indian philosophy and religion. In this book stories are primarily based on the principles of religion and karma, inspiring children to work hard. Writer has made an effort to explain the concept of selfless action and also aimed to develop a sense of culture in children. The sequence of inspirational stories includes both significant historical figures and lesser-known revolutionaries. Writer also tried to shed light on lesser-known heroes like Tilka Manjhi and Avadh Bihari.
