The Raven, the Dove, and the Owl of Minerva by Mark Glouberman Pdf
Through a close textual analysis and a contrastive examination of documents from both cultures, Mark Glouberman explores the biblical roots of our Western sense of self-identity and the ways in which non-philosophical Greek materials enhance our understanding of how that cultural view developed. Glouberman illustrates how the Hebrew Scriptures advance a humanist rather than a religious view of human nature. He then shows that this same view is germinally present in non-philosophical writings of archaic and classical Greece. Finally, Glouberman argues that the philosophical style of thinking, the intellectual basis of Greece’s contribution to the West, is in fact hostile to what the Bible teaches about human nature, and that central Hellenic figures from outside the philosophical mainstream – notably Homer and Sophocles – are ‘biblical’ in orientation. Each of Glouberman’s theses lends new depth to contemporary research on the Bible as a source of material that illuminates the human condition.
The Owl, The Raven, and the Dove by G. Ronald Murphy Pdf
The fairy tales collected by the brothers Grimm are among the best known and most widely-read stories in western literature. In recent years commentators such as Bruno Bettelheim have, usually from a psychological perspective, pondered the underlying meaning of the stories, why children are so enthralled by them, and what effect they have on the the best-known tales (Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty) and shows that the Grimms saw them as Christian fables. Murphy examines the arguments of previous interpreters of the tales, and demonstrates how they missed the Grimms' intention. His own readings of the five so-called "magical" tales reveal them as the beautiful and inspiring "documents of faith" that the Grimms meant them to be. Offering an entirely new perspective on these often-analyzed tales, Murphy's book will appeal to those concerned with the moral and religious education of children, to students and scholars of folk literature and children's literature, and to the many general readers who are captivated by fairy tales and their meanings.

Makes concrete recommendations for peacebuilders in conflict-torn countries to improve capacity building, organisational learning, research and networking in locally appropriate ways.Local non-governmental organisations in conflict-torn countries find themselves in rapidly changing circumstances. This calls for flexibility and the capacity to learn. Locally appropriate ways to deal with conflict are needed but difficult to find. Peacebuilders (the dove) face various constraints as they develop and share their knowledge (the owl). Based on research carried out mainly in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, and the Philippines, The Owl and the Dove maps these elements in order to find out how peace workers can become more effective learners. It pays attention to exchanges with donor organisations, knowledge institutions and networks.The book makes concrete recommendations for capacity building, organisational learning, research, and networking, so that these activities may help overcome structural inequalities and constraints, strengthen the learning capacity of peacebuilders, and improve the global knowledge base for better peace policy and practice.

It starts out as a simple idea by someone liberated from conventional thinking and the beaten path. With perseverance and dedication, it gains momentum and rapidly becomes a viable concept. As it evolves, it grows into an adventure and becomes the mission. The entrepreneur in charge is now poised to turn the original idea into a phenomenal commercial achievement. And this is where the epic story of success begins. As is demonstrated in this book, the exceptional entrepreneur need not have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Or to have been a graduate from an Ivy League school. Or to have been equippped with an outsize cerebrum. Far simpler and primal qualities will aid him in his pursuit and attaining a position in the pantheon of the super-successful. To succeed on the treacherous path of business, the model entrepreneur embarks on a journey of self-discovery and never stops. He also composes and perfects a strategy that is essential to accomplishing his mission. Based on firsthand knowledge and practical experience, in this book, we follow the model entrepreneur from his youth all the way to his twilight years. Along the way, we witness a remarkable journey as we watch the making of an exceptional individual and an extraordinary accomplishment. We observe that, while still in his twenties, he impresses the onlookers with his prolific ideas and practical solutions. In his thirties, he dazzles his investors and benefactors with his strategic genius and business savvy. He reaches his forties only to astound his rivals and admirers alike by devising and executing brilliant expansionary plans and showcasing organizational and managerial expertise. He reaches his fifties and demonstrates exceptional leadership qualities, in addition to an exemplary vision reborn and a strategy refined. He is still breaking molds, but now he also has become an icon. We are still with him as he moves into the next phases of his illustrious life, passes the torch, and shares the wealth and power he has accumulated. This book is a chronicle of the model entrepreneur at his best. It is also an inspiration to those who want to follow in his footsteps and become the next business titan.
A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year "Simple yet stirring, this is perfect for preschooler bedtimes."— Booklist starred review Fans of the classic picture book Owl Babies by Martin Waddell and Patrick Benson will adore this utterly simple picture book in which a baby owl goes off on his first adventure. With just three or four words per page, this story follows a baby owl one night as he leaves the safety of his nest (Home/Mama/Brother/Sister) and explores the starry world around him (Soar/Glide/Swoop/Swoosh). Inspired by reverso poetry, the words reverse in the middle when the baby owl is startled upon seeing his reflection in the pond (Owl/Sees/Owl). Afraid of it, little owl takes off toward home, soaring over farms and forests (Swoosh/Swoop/Glide/Soar) until he is finally safely home again (Sister/Brother/Mama/Home). "Fans of Jane Yolen’s Owl Moon and Martin Waddell’s Owl Babies will also love this calming story about an owl’s first adventure." —School Library Journal, Starred
Cultivating New Post-secular Political Space by Roger Haydon Mitchell Pdf
This comprehensive volume provides crucial insights from contemporary academics and practitioners into how positive interventions might be made into post-secular political spaces that have emerged in the wake of the economic, political, and social upheavals of the 2008 global financial crisis. The failure of liberal democracy to deal effectively with such challenges has led to scapegoating of the poor, immigrants, and Muslims, and contributed to the populist electoral success of, among others, the Leave campaign during the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, and Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign. These shocks have highlighted contemporary political spaces defined by what has been termed ‘all the posts’: postmodern, post-Christendom, post-liberal, post-political, and post-secular. This collection examines emerging attempts to understand and advance the cause of wellbeing within this context. The authors address a variety of key issues including: (re)configuring mythologies for the common good; deploying love and friendship politically; motivating new social movements; valuing the other; recovering displaced and devalued political narratives; finding alternatives to the previously dominant neo-liberalism; listening deeply for social transformation; and overcoming adversarial party politics. This book was originally published online as a special issue of the journal Global Discourse.
