'Each time you read a story you may gain a different perspective on
it and discover new insights. Nowhere can you do this more than in
Genesis 1-11, which in my view contains some of the most profound
religious literature ever written.' This Really Useful Guide to
Genesis 1-11 opens up afresh what can be a familiar text. In
showing us how to engage with these stories, Rebecca Watson gives
us background information about how, why and when Genesis was
written, tips for reading and studying, and a summary of how
Genesis 1-11 fits into the biblical story. Written in bite-sized
chunks and full of jargon-free practical guidance, this book will
give you more confidence to engage with the Bible and a greater
understanding of the nature of God. Each Really Useful Guide
focuses on a specific biblical book, making it come to life for the
reader, enabling them to understand the message and to apply its
truth to today's circumstances. Though not a commentary, it gives
valuable insight into the book's message. Though not an
introduction, it summarises the important aspects of the book to
aid reading and application. The series is edited by Simon Stocks
and Derek Tidball.
Originally published in 1987, this book is the result of a workshop
on the processing of complex sounds held in 1986. All of the
important contributions that are being made to understanding
auditory processing of complex sounds could not be included in a
single volume. However, the chapters do touch base with many of the
lines of research and theory on complex sound and its perception at
the time, and was felt that they should provide both food for
thought and a broad introduction to the literature on a topic that
the editors were sure would be studied intensely in the following
couple of decades.
Using historical documents and evidence gathered in the field,
Rubie Watson provides a social history of the 600-year-old Chinese
lineage village of Ha Tsuen in the New Territories of Hong Kong,
and demonstrates the crucial role that the lineage played in the
evolution of the community from a few scattered households in the
fourteenth century into a regional power from the 1700s onwards.
Despite a patrilineal ideology that extols the virtues of
brotherhood and equality, Dr Watson shows that the lineage has in
fact played a central role in the formation, development and
maintenance of an elite class of landlords and merchants, who, even
though their economic importance has now declined, continue to
exert political control. Dr Watson examines the dynamics of
interclass relations within a single lineage and shows how these
relations have been transformed as a consequence of the growth of
wage labour.

Arguments over the relationship between Canaanite and Israelite
religion often derive from fundamental differences in
presupposition, methodology and definition, yet debate typically
focuses in on details and encourages polarization between opposing
views, inhibiting progress. This volume seeks to initiate a
cultural change in scholarly practice by setting up dialogues
between pairs of experts in the field who hold contrasting views.
Each pair discusses a clearly defined issue through the lens of a
particular biblical passage, responding to each other's arguments
and offering their reflections on the process. Topics range from
the apparent application of 'chaos' and 'divine warrior' symbolism
to Yahweh in Habakkuk 3, the evidence for 'monotheism' in
pre-Exilic Judah in 2 Kings 22-23, and the possible presence of
'chaos' or creatio ex nihilo in Genesis 1 and Psalm 74. This
approach encourages the recognition of points of agreement as well
as differences and exposes some of the underlying issues that
inhibit consensus. In doing so, it consolidates much that has been
achieved in the past, offers fresh ideas and perspective and,
through intense debate, subjects new ideas to thorough critique and
suggests avenues for further research.
ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award Is there more to clinical
supervision than our current theories and methods can provide?
Whether we intend them to be or not, our mentoring practices are
personally formative for supervisees and supervisors alike.
Developing Clinicians of Character grounds our thinking in the
historic and contemporary wisdom of virtue ethics and grows out of
a love for the practice of clinical supervision. It aims to
identify and strengthen supervision's important role for character
formation in the classroom, in continuing education for
practitioners, and in clinical settings. After an overview of the
role of character formation in clinical supervision, Developing
Clinicians of Character examines each classical Christian virtue in
turn, its corresponding professional ethical aspiration, and how we
can use the practices of clinical supervision and spiritual
formation together to foster character formation for Christian
maturity and Christlikeness. Dr. Terri S. Watson welcomes and
equips you to excel in "the helping profession within a helping
profession" as you provide clinical supervision for other mental
health workers in counseling, psychology, and marriage and family
therapy. This book will shape your own character through spiritual
disciplines in the classical virtues-and outward in expanding
circles of encouragement, formation, and healing. Christian
Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how
Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences
including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and
family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support
the well-being of their clients.
