In recognition of the fundamental control exerted by weathering on
landscape evolution and topographic development, the 35th
Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium was convened under the theme of
Weathering and Landscape Evolution. The papers and posters
presented at the conference imparted the state-of-the-art in
weathering geomorphology, tackled the issue of scale linkage in
geomorphic studies and offered a vehicle for interdisciplinary
communication on research into weathering and landscape evolution.
The papers included in this book are encapsulated here under the
general themes of weathering mantles, weathering and relative
dating, weathering and denudation, weathering processes and
controls and the 'big picture'.
* Contains 15 papers on the techniques and methodologies of
research
* Provides an up-to-date overview of various aspects of weathering
and landscape evolution complemented by a number of excellent case
studies
* Contains a wealth of basic field data and relevant information
William S. Campbell provides a comprehensive commentary on Paul's
most challenging letter. In conversation with reception history and
previous scholarship, he emphasizes the contextuality of Romans as
a letter to Rome, using social identity theory combined with
historical, literary and theological perspectives to arrive at a
coherent reading of the entire letter. Because Paul has never
visited Rome and is not the founder of the Christ-movement there,
Campbell argues that his guidance and teaching are formulated more
cautiously than in his other letters. Yet the long list of people
who had previous links with him and his mission to the 'gentiles'
demonstrates that Paul is well-informed about the situation in Rome
and addresses issues that have arisen. With Christ the Messianic
Time is beginning, but there was some lack of clarity in Rome about
the implications of this for Jews and gentiles. Rather than ethne
in Christ replacing Israel, as some in Rome possibly concluded,
Campbell stresses that Paul affirms the irrevocable calling of
Israel, and that simultaneously the identity of ethne in Christ is
also called alongside the people Israel; thus, the integrity of the
identity of both is affirmed as indispensable for God's purpose now
revealed in Christ. Campbell fully demonstrates how Paul in Romans
achieves this by the social and theological intertwining of the
message of the gospel.
Mormonism, Medicine, and Bioethics provides the first comprehensive
treatment of principles and positions on questions of bioethics
encountered by members, professionals, and ecclesiastical leaders
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon).
The book addresses three fundamental features of a coherent
religious bioethics: precepts for practical decision-making,
general ethical principles, and core religious convictions that
give a distinctive motivation for personal, communal, and
professional integrity. LDS ethical principles of love, hospitality
to strangers, covenantal solidarity, justice, and moral agency are
integrated with central topics in bioethics including abortion,
genetic testing and enhancements, in vitro fertilization, medical
assisted death, medicinal marijuana, neonatal intensive care, organ
donation, preventive health care, universal access to care, and
vaccinations. This book uses first-person experiences to give voice
to the lived moral realities of Latter-day Saints as they
experience difficult and wrenching ethical questions and choices as
persons, family members, community members, professionals, and as
citizens within the context of their distinctive faith convictions.
It situates these communal conversations within the broader
discourse of bioethics and thereby supports both bioethics and
religious literacy. Mormonism, Medicine, and Bioethics also
examines circumstances in which The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints engages in a moral witness of its values on
matters of public policy, such as legalization of
physician-assisted death, of elective abortion, and of medicinal
marijuana. The book concludes with a distinctive normative argument
on why LDS ethical principles and practices require support of
universal access to an adequate level of health care for all
persons. It provides an appendix of significant LDS ecclesiastical
policies on medical, health, and moral issues, making it a
definitive educational and reference compilation.
