The Social Contexts of Disability Ministry by Albert A. Herzog Jr. Pdf

This book provides pastors, seminarians, and interested laity with the background necessary to understand the need for disability ministry and the contexts out of which the church's ministry among people with disabilities must emerge. This is true not only for descriptions of ministries over the past sixty years, but also the challenges disability poses for biblical studies, church history, Christian theology, and ethics. Insights are gained not only from mainstream secular and religious sources but from evangelical and other conservative materials. The blending of items from different religious resources reveals just how ubiquitous disability is and the need for disability ministry--now and for many years into the future. The book's format is such that either it can serve as a text for courses on disability ministry, or individual chapters can be employed in various courses on selected topics in biblical studies, history, theology, and ethics. Pastors and lay leaders will enjoy the depth of coverage for each topic. This is a book about a serious subject, for serious readers. Its materials are designed to inform, stimulate, and promote disability ministry as a topic worthy of serious study.

On Inequality and Freedom by Lawrence M. Eppard,Henry A. Giroux Pdf

"Freedom is a central part of the American identity, "one of America's most cherished values." When it comes to what freedom entails, most Americans would agree that there are political, social, and economic dimensions. Most agree that in a free society there is a need for order, justice, security, opportunity, and fairness. There is a shared sense that freedom requires the absence of harm and undue interference. Most believe that freedom requires a variety of rights, including those related to speech, property, voting, religion, fair legal treatment, assembly, the press, and so on"--

Disability and the Church by Lamar Hardwick Pdf

IVP Readers' Choice Award Lamar Hardwick was thirty-six years old when he found out he was on the autism spectrum. While this revelation helped him understand and process his own experience, it also prompted a difficult re-evaluation of who he was as a person. And as a pastor, it started him on a new path of considering the way disabled people are treated in the church. Disability and the Church is a practical and theological reconsideration of the church's responsibilities to the disabled community. Too often disabled persons are pushed away from the church or made to feel unwelcome in any number of ways. As Hardwick writes, "This should not be." He insists that the good news of Jesus affirms God's image in all people, and he offers practical steps and strategies to build stronger, truly inclusive communities of faith.

The Social Context of Paul's Ministry by Ronald F. Hock Pdf

In this "slim, readable, and provocative volume" (Journal of Biblical Literature), Ronald Hock focuses on the apostle Paul and his work within the social and intellectual context of the Greek East of the early Roman Empire. Hock discusses the New Testament evidence concerning tentmaking in relation to Paul's life as an apostle of Christ. Relevant literary and nonliterary texts from outside the New Testament add detail to a picture of ancient society and open new areas for study. The author describes the typical experiences that arose from such a way of life – traveling, the tentmaking trade, the missionary use of the workshop, attitudes toward work, and Paul's own reflections on the significance of his tentmaking for the apostolic self-understanding.

The behaviour of professionals towards children in day-care centres by Laura Knieriem Pdf

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, grade: 1,0, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: This book deals with the behavior of pedagogical professionals in day-care centers towards the children they look after there. Against the background of equal opportunities, the study looks in particular at evaluating aspects in connection with the social background of the children, since the social status in Germany still has a considerable influence on educational success. So far, there has been little research into how equal opportunities are implemented in day-care centers and kindergartens. This book aims to provide information about this. It is examined whether all children in a group within the day care center have the same access to possibilities and chances, or whether this is prevented by the judgmental behavior of the educational staff. This study is based on the assumption that discriminatory and disadvantageous behavior can also be transferred to educators in kindergartens and day care centers. There is an assumption that questioning one's own objectivity in attitude and behavior is often considered difficult. From the content: - Equal opportunities; - Discrimination; - Behavior; - Ideas; - Ratings
