Sowing the Sacred by Lloyd Daniel Barba Pdf

"Enter the religious landscape of California's industrial agriculture in the 1940s. Anthropologist Walter Goldschmidt's early 1940s reconnaissance tour of the social scene in the little town of Wasco offers us a composite picture of religious institutions in a typical industrial-ag town in the state. Anthropologists and sociologists of the time pointed to the proliferation of Pentecostal churches as evidence of industrial farming's undesirable social outcomes. In particular, they noted the enthusiastic and emotional expressions of Pentecostal services and how the recently dispossessed Dust Bowl or "Okie" migrants flocked into these churches. By the 1940s, Dorothea Lange's photograph of the Okie "Migrant Mother" capturing the pathos of white plight had surfaced and caught the national spotlight. California, many noted, had a migration problem, as many "undesirables" flooded into the state. Women such as the one captured in Lange's photograph "Revival Mother" standing and worshipping with eyes closed and raised hands in a makeshift garage church typified the poverty of Pentecostals described by the university researchers"--

Beliefs, Rituals, and Symbols of Ancient Greece and Rome by Dean Miller Pdf

Greek and Roman mythology is forever linked for a myriad of reasons. Historians believe this could be because many of the Roman deities were adopted from the Greek. However, there are many that were not shared and are proudly only Roman, or only Greek. This comprehensive atlas presents dictionary entries about the major gods, heroes, and imaginary creatures of Greek and Roman mythology, along with information on some key historical figures and philosophical schools of thought. In this impressive book, the entries unfold through a pictorial and illustrated journey. Through a robust glossary, sidebars, and thematic introductions the social studies content of this fascinating subject becomes easily digestible, even for the most reluctant reader, while the further reading section inspires future research.

Rice in South-East Asia by Jacqueline M. Piper,Jake Piper Pdf

A fascinating story of a subject central to South-East Asian cultures, this book shows how rice shapes the landscapes that the people of South-East Asia see around them and how it contributes to the ordering of their lives. Not only is rice the staple food in most of the region, but the rice-farm determines the rhythm of the year as its major ceremonials mark the changing seasons. Not surprisingly, rice has come to represent fertility, and folk beliefs about how to farm and store rice and their associated rituals are a corner-stone of South-East Asian cultures. In this highly illustrated work, Jacqueline M. Piper details the tremendous impact rice growing has made on the land over millennia, converting mountain, hill, and valley to rice-fields, and providing, through the implements of rice cultivation, many opportunities for craftsmenship, design, and decoration.

Making Christians by Denise Kimber Buell Pdf

How did second-century Christians vie with each other in seeking to produce an authoritative discourse of Christian identity? In this innovative book, Denise Buell argues that many early Christians deployed the metaphors of procreation and kinship in the struggle over claims to represent the truth of Christian interpretation, practice, and doctrine. In particular, she examines the intriguing works of the influential theologian Clement of Alexandria (ca. 150-210 c.e.), for whom cultural assumptions about procreation and kinship played an important role in defining which Christians have the proper authority to teach, and which kinds of knowledge are authentic. Buell argues that metaphors of procreation and kinship can serve to make power differentials appear natural. She shows that early Christian authors recognized this and often turned to such metaphors to mark their own positions as legitimate and marginalize others as false. Attention to the functions of this language offers a way out of the trap of reconstructing the development of early Christianity along the axes of "heresy" and "orthodoxy," while not denying that early Christians employed this binary. Ultimately, Buell argues, strategic use of kinship language encouraged conformity over diversity and had a long lasting effect both on Christian thought and on the historiography of early Christianity. Aperceptive and closely argued contribution to early Christian studies, Making Christians also branches out to the areas of kinship studies and the social construction of gender.

Providential Dictates: As You Sow, So Shall You Reap by DR SHAMBHU SHARAN SHRIVASTAVA and DR MADHURI SHRIVASTAVA Pdf

According to dictates of the Holy Vedas, "Anything born must die. You do not die before your assigned time. But die not a thousand deaths, before your destiny gives you a call.” (Atharva, 5.30.6.) Such a sermon has been echoed in the Holy Gita as well. ‘Providential Dictates’ provides the reader with a cocktail of tragedies and comedies, romances and contradictions of caste and cultural bias prevailing in the Indian society. This professional and emotional memoir also incorporates entertaining profiles of signs of progress in the lives of respectable medical men. Why does Rupashree, the only child of the Dean of a Medical Institution, a glamorous woman born and brought up in opulence and sophistication take her own life, in spite of being married to a handsome officer as graceful as a Greek God? What are the social contradictions or the mythological aberrations which impede progress and happiness in the society? What is the truth behind glittering lives of medical men in the society? Are these patrons of clubs and mall culture really as generous and moralizing as they are meant to be? One has to read on to find out.

What You Sow Is a Bare Seed by Celeste Kennel-Shank Pdf

What You Sow Is a Bare Seed is a group biography that tells the stories of ordinary but extraordinary people who were engaged in movements for renewal in the church and justice in broader society. People such as Dora Koundakjian Johnson, an Armenian-Lebanese linguistics scholar and activist, and Doug Huron, an attorney who won a landmark US Supreme Court civil rights case. They were among those who came together as the ecumenical Community of Christ in Washington, DC. Planted in the inner city in 1965--when many churches were leaving--the Community "distinguished itself from the more organized church without rejecting it," as one former member says. They believed that helping each other identify their gifts was a compelling way to shape their collective ministry beyond themselves. The Community initially intended not to own property but later bought a building and opened it up as a community center. As a final act of ministry, the Community gave its building away to a nonprofit partner when it closed in 2016, leaving a legacy that continues today.

Sowing For Your Harvest by Rev. John Daniel Johnson Pdf

Everyone wants to be happy in life; however, few actually are. Many believe that happiness comes from having money, fame, worldly success, popularity, or even luck. However, true happiness cannot be obtained from anything in this world. When we begin sowing spiritual seeds, blessings and happiness will flow from Heaven into your world. If we begin loving others and modeling a godly character in our life, the blessings will rain like a needed shower on a freshly planted garden. The more that we sow; the more we shall reap. Blessings are only a 'seed toss' away. In this book, Johnson offers inspiring and motivating insights that will help believers everywhere to cultivate true and lasting peace, joy, and happiness.
