Аннотация

Christian Ethics and Nursing Practice shows how the religious and moral teachings of the Christian Bible compare, contrast, and correlate with the ethical standards of modern nursing, as stated in the Code of Ethics for Nurses. It describes four main strands of moral discourse in the Bible–law, holiness, wisdom, and prophecy–and shows the relevance of those strands for contemporary bedside and advanced practice nursing. The work could serve as a textbook for courses in nursing ethics at Christian colleges and universities or as a guidebook for practicing nurses, who have devoted their lives to caring for the sick, the injured, the elderly, the disabled, and the dying as a way of living out their commitment to Jesus Christ.

This list of matriarchs differs from the usual four.
Sarah is undisputedly the matriarch of the nation of Israel even though she bore only one son, the son of promise. Her tenure is followed by Rebekah, who had two sons; only one received the promise. Leah, the third matriarch, bore six sons and Jacob’s only daughter. But she was the first wife and was, no doubt, influential in raising Rachel’s two boys, as well as the boys of the servant wives. Asenath is included in this numbering. Given that her husband received the double blessing, her two sons are tribes: Ephraim and Manasseh.
Each of the mothers had very different personalities and backgrounds. Each had influence in her time and has wisdom to share with believers of our day.

The Fine Pearl" is about seeking and learning in discovering important Bible scriptures that we most often don't pay much attention to the words in details. The more we matured with our Christian faith the more we want to learn and get more accurate information from the biblical perspective. The scripture is like seeking fine pearls in the Bible.

A Sweetheart Deal   What a sweet deal! That is the theme and the emphasis of this Christmas book. In this book, you will encounter again and again, God’s incredible offer in the unspeakable gift of His only begotten Son. When Gabriel said to Mary, “You shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21), that was, and is, the sweetest deal that has been and will ever be given to sinful men and women. Luke records the esse

Предлагаемая читателю книга представляет собой опыт политической герменевтики. В ней автор прослеживает развитие одного конструкта национального самосознания: возникнув в Старом Свете, этот конструкт, перебравшись в Америку, преобразуется в иммигрантской действительности в другой, уже специфически американский конструкт, хотя и с сильным европейским компонентом. Будучи же в измененном виде вновь импортирован назад в Старый Свет, он оказывается способным мимикрироваться под новый контекст, порождая, в свою очередь, прямо противоположные, враждебные друг другу конструкты. Они же, сами оказавшись орудием в информационной войне, становятся силой, развязывающей войну реальную. В случае настоящего исследования речь идет о Первой мировой войне и русской православной епархии в Америке, в большинстве состоящей из бывших униатов-русинов, иммигрантов из Австро- Венгрии, – епархии, которая, сама того не сознавая, сыграла решающую роль в развязывании этой войны.

It’s been said that prayer is the vocabulary of faith. This book offers a wealth of resources from forgotten places to help us create a new vocabulary for worship and prayer, one that is located amidst the poor and the major issues of violence and destruction around the world today. It is a collection of prayers, songs, rituals, rites of healing, Eucharistic and baptismal prayers, meditations and art from four continents: Asia-Pacific Islands, Africa, Americas, and Europe.  Liturgies from Below  is the culmination of a project organized by the Council for World Mission (CWM) during 2018-2019. Approximately 100 people from four continents worked with CWM, collaborating to create indigenous prayers and liturgies expressing their own contexts, for sharing with their communities and the rest of the world. The project was called “Re-Imagining Worship as Acts of Defiance and Alternatives in the Context of Empire”.    The author and others spent weeks living in each of four communities for several weeks/months, getting to know the people, and then facilitating the people’s own creation of prayers and liturgies. The author, other scholars, pastors, artists, activists and students all came from radically different ethnicities, races, sexualities, churches and Christian theologies. The people in each location were poor, living in very challenging communities, living in oppressive and seemingly hopeless situations. After some time, they wrote prayers and stories of their experience trying to live the Christian faith in utterly abandoned places. What we have here is an immensely rich and varied collection of liturgical sources from various communities dealing with issues of violence, immigration/refugees, drugs, land grabbing, war on the poor, attack on women, militarization, climate change, and so on.
