Whether we interpret Scripture or culture, it matters what we do, not just what we think or feel. How do we live with our interpretation, and how do we live it out? This book helps us understand how culture forms us as political actors, moves us aesthetically, shapes the rhythms of our lives, and connects (or disconnects) us from God and neighbors we are called to love. The goal is to be equipped to engage culture with greater fluency and fidelity in response to the triune God. This short, accessible introduction to the conversation between theology and culture offers a patient, thoughtful, and theologically attuned approach to cultural discernment. It helps us grow our interpretive skill by training our intuition and giving us a slower, more deliberate approach that accounts for as much of the complexity of culture as possible. The book explores 5 dimensions of culture--meaning, power, morality, religion, and aesthetic--and shows how each needs the others and all need theology. Each chapter includes distinctive practices for spiritual formation and practical application. Foreword by Kevin J. Vanhoozer.

Intelligence is the ability to accurately interpret the world fast enough to ensure your survival and progress. In a busy and disruptive world developing the ability to think fast and make accurate decisions fast is an indispensable skill. In this highly awaited masterpiece from the phenomenal learning Coach Ugochukwu Chukwu, he detailed vital exercises to make our thinking clear, our activities helpful, our actions successful and our life ethical. An exercise in clear thinking is not just a manifestation of brilliance or smartness; it is a manifestation of sufficient intelligence that is powered chiefly by courage. To think clearly you must develop the courage to question your assumptions, beliefs, and convictions. Taken as a whole, Exercise in Clear Thinking (ECT) offers a structured, vital, repeatable system for the long term success of any endeavor. Each chapter is carefully designed to clarify your thinking in a way that builds lasting significance and helps you make better decisions in your business, work and personal life. ECT is simultaneously a framework to create any successful project in the present and a tool for securing an enduring legacy in the future. In large and small ways alike, it will save you years of “trial and error” and make your most genuine of dreams to come true. These exercises are not the quick-fix, flavor-of-the-month strategies that are so prevalent in today’s world, Instead, they reflect the ageless truths about how to think thoroughly through a problem, deeply stir yourself into action, cultivate tremendous results and productivity and make the most out of your life. If you ever desire to consistently drive successful outcomes—in specific projects and life in general—while at the same time securing a lasting legacy by building an ethically rich life you need this book as a manual and trusted reference for life challenges.

This volume departs from conventional historiography concerned with colonialism in the Malay world, by turning to the use of knowledge generated by European presence in the region. The aim here is to map the ways in which European observers and scholars interpreted the ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity which has been seen as a hallmark of Southeast Asia. With a chronological scope of the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, contributors examine not only European writing on the Malay world, but the complex origins of various forms of knowledge, dependent on local agency but always closely intertwined with contemporary metropolitan scientific and scholarly ideas. Knowledge of the peoples, languages and music of the Malay world, it is argued, came to inform and shape European scholarship within a variety of areas, such as Enlightenment science and anthropology, ideas of human progress, philological theory, ethnomusicology and emerging theories of race. But this volume also contributes to ongoing debates within the region, by discussing ideas about the Malay language and definitions of ‘Malayness’. The last chapters of the book present a reversed viewpoint, in examinations of how local cultural forms, theatrical traditions and literature were reshaped and given new meaning through encounters with cosmopolitanism and perceived modernity. This book was previously published as a special issue of Indonesia and the Malay World.

After teaching world history to college freshmen for two decades, the author was dissatisfied with the available textbooks, which smoothed over thorny historical debates in favor of uncontroversial, seamless, and bland narratives. Because students did not have to use the historical facts they read to answer questions that they themselves cared about concerning the current world, they rarely recalled the facts long after an exam. So, the author wrote this text to help his students enter into open-ended historical conversations. They explore the Enlightenment, and decide if it is a hypocritical screen for white male privilege or a slow-unfolding tool for universal liberation. They consider the ongoing industrial revolution, which has lowered consumer prices while posing social challenges for over 200 years, and which continues to replace jobs and concentrate wealth. They critique the effectiveness of economic systems to pair with industrialization: laissez-faire capitalism, colonialism, anarchism, Marxism, and socialism. They consider the strengths and challenges of nationalism, and consider strategies for avoiding war and ethnic cleansing. They analyze the rise of modern China as a superpower, and debate whether or not it is likely to surpass the United States in economic output and global influence. They analyze the most arresting current developments: the global rise of women, the challenge of climate change, the impact of mechanization and globalization on jobs, and the return of anti-democratic authoritarianism. Although the author is an American liberal, evidence and arguments are regularly offered from alternative points of view. Indeed, the text is designed to improve understanding of perspectives from other parts of the world and to promote dialogue between conservatives, liberals, and radicals in the U.S.

Until a century ago, a metaphor was just a mere figure of speech, but since the development of discourse analysis a metaphor has become more than merely incidental to the content of the arguments or findings. Students and scholars in political studies know the importance of metaphors in electoral and policy-related politics, coming across metaphors that are, knowingly or unknowingly, influencing our perception of politics. This book is the first to develop new methodological approaches to understand and analyse the use of metaphor in political science and international relations. It does this by: Combining theory with case studies in order to advance substantive work in politics and international relations that focuses on metaphor Expands the range of empirical case studies that employ this category descriptively and also in explanatory logic Advances research that investigates the role of metaphor in empirical and discourse-based methodologies, thus building on results from other disciplines, notably linguistics and hermeneutic philosophy. This innovative study will be of interest to students and researchers of politics, international relations and communication studies.

This important book demonstrates why geography matters in the modern-day world through its examination of 100 moments throughout history that had a significant impact on the study of geography-literally, "writing about the earth." Geography is not simply accounts of the lands of earth and their features; it's about discovering everything there is to know about our planet. This book shows why geography is of critical importance to our world's 21st-century inhabitants through an exploration of the past and present discoveries that have been made about the earth. It pinpoints 100 moments throughout history that had a significant impact on the study of geography and the understanding of our world, including widely accepted maps of the ancient world, writings and discoveries of key thinkers and philosophers, key exploration events and findings during the Age of Discovery, the foundations of important geographic organizations, and new inventions in digital mapping today. The book begins with a clear explanation of geography as a discipline, a framework, and a way of viewing the world, followed by coverage of each of the 100 discoveries and innovations that provides sufficient background and content for readers to understand each topic. The book concludes with a concise synopsis of why it all matters and a look forward to 10 possible future discoveries in the next 50 years of geography. Students will gain a clear sense of what is truly revolutionary about geography, perhaps challenging their preconceived notion of what geography actually is, and grasp how important discoveries revolutionized not only the past but the present day as well.
