Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative book's starting point is a deep and profound concern about the commodification of knowledge within the contemporary university. Acts of Knowing aims to provide readers with a means of understanding the issues from the perspective of Critical Pedagogy; an educational philosophy which believes that 'knowing' must be freed from the constraints of the financial and managerialist logics which dominate the contemporary university. Critical Pedagogy is important for three key reasons: it conceptualises pedagogy as a process of engagement between the teacher and taught; secondly that that engagement is based on an underlying humanistic view about human worth and value; and thirdly that the 'knowing' which can come out of this engagement needs to be understood essentially as exchange between people, rather than a financial exchange. Cowden and Singh argue that the conception of education as simply a means for securing economic returns for the individual and for the society's positioning in a global marketplace, represents a fundamentally impoverished conception of education, which impoverishes not just individuals, but society as a whole.

This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading and Understanding the Acts of the Apostles, the New Testament Letters, and the Book of Revelation is the third volume of a three part series written for anyone who is interested in acquiring basic knowledge and understanding of the Bible, the book that is the foundation of Western and Middle Eastern civilization. The first volume is titled Reading and Understanding the Old Testament: The Foundation of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The second volume is Reading and Understanding the Gospels: Who Jesus Is, What He Teaches, and the Beginning of Christianity. This third volume covers the acts of the apostles, the New Testament letters, and the book of Revelation, which Christians say are the writings of Peter, Paul, James, and John. This volume, like the others, uses scholarship in a practical manner, moving chapter by chapter through each letter using the actual verses as it explains clearly their basic meaning for people in ancient time and our time today. The reader will experience and get a complete sense of the content and meaning of these writings that Christians call their inspired writings. Like the first two volumes the author integrates the historical and the literary with the theological in order to highlight the meaning of each letter. Once again, the author has taken a difficult subject, made it easy reading, and filled it with challenging insights. This book is strongly recommended not just for Christians but for those who are interested in knowing what the first Christians taught and how they applied those teachings.

Book excerpt: Jerome Bruner argues that the cognitive revolution, with its current fixation on mind as “information processor,” has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings. Only by breaking out of the limitations imposed by a computational model of mind can we grasp the special interaction through which mind both constitutes and is constituted by culture.

Book excerpt: JOHN W. MAUCK provides an exciting new way of understanding the Book of Acts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Christians turned the world upside down in the space of a generation. How can we learn from them today? In this book Michael Green opens up the gripping story of Acts, highlighting the volcanic eruption of faith described there and contrasting it with the often halfhearted Christianity of the modern Western world. Green explores the life and faith of the Christians of Acts, answering such questions as, What kind of people were they? How did they live? And how did they organize and practice as members of the new church? Besides describing life in the early church, Green discusses how we today can apply the first Christians’ dynamic efforts at church planting, pastoral care, social concern, gospel proclamation, and prayer. Combining trusted scholarship with a popular, enjoyable writing style, Thirty Years That Changed the World is an ideal book for church, group, or personal study.
