The author first explains the body of Tillich's system, examining reason and revelation, life and the spirit, and history and the kingdom of God. The second section undertakes a critical analysis of Tillichian concepts and their adequacy in relation to nonhuman animals, addressing topics such as Tillich's concept of 'technical reason' and the multidimensional unity of life. The author concludes by discussing the positive concepts in Tillich's systematic theology with respect to nonhuman animals and creation, including the concept of universal salvation and Tillich's interpretation of nonhuman animals and the Fall in Genesis.

In October of 1968, an eighteen-year-old girl was on her way to work in Watts, California, when she was struck by a Southern Pacific train as she crossed an intersection. After the train dragged her body thirty feet, amputated her right leg, and severed her left thumb, the teenager called out for Jesus and promised that, if allowed to live, she would be a witness for Him. That teenage girl would eventually become Barbara Ann Smith-Hookfin-Franklin-Stephen-Sterrett. Sharing the story of her life, Barbara describes how she faced life's greatest challenges head-on as she learned how to be a disabled mother, created a center for the handicapped, traveled to Japan to sing in a concert, and graduated from college with honors. As she details how she somehow managed to survive two subsequent strokes, live through Hurricane Katrina, and handle a divorce, Barbara illustrates how she persevered through each challenge by putting one foot in front of the other and always believing God would show her the way. Through poems and anecdotes, Follow Your Vision and Never Give Up recalls one woman's journey through life as she keeps a promise to God and achieves much more than she ever imagined.

When Linda Ann Smith first considered accompanying a friend on a mission trip to Albania in 1996, she didn’t even know where the country was located. Now, more than ten years later, she reserves a special place in her heart for the people she met and the places she visited on that unforgettable journey.

This heartening personal memoir honors the transformative spiritual experiences of Smith and her five companions in one of the world’s poorest countries. Chronicling the volunteer boot campers’ mission to visit and help friends who had established a program to feed the children in the isolated village of Rodokal, Albania, The Gift of Walnuts is a powerful story of friendship and love.

Smith shares both the glories and the challenges of being a missionary in a former communist country, and she reflects especially warmly on the children of Rodokal, who were overpowering in their simple joys and genuine loves. And Smith includes nearly fifty pictures of the beautiful faces and places of Albania.

The Gift of Walnuts not only provides insight into the culture and living conditions in southern Albania in 1996, but shows how a formerly closed communist country opened one woman’s eyes to a fresh worldview and her heart to a faith and love she’d never known before.

As seen in previous pandemics, girls and young women are particularly vulnerable as social issues such as homelessness, mental healthcare, access to education, and child labor are often exacerbated. The Girl in the Pandemic considers what academics, community activists, and those working in local, national, and global NGOs are learning about the lives of girls and young women during pandemics. Drawing from a range of responses during the pandemic including first person narratives, community ethnographies, and participatory action research, this collection offers a picture of how the COVID-19 pandemic played out in eight different countries.

How are girls represented in written and graphic texts, and how do these representations inform our understanding of girlhood? In this volume, contributors examine the girl in the text in order to explore a range of perspectives on girlhood across borders and in relation to their positionality. In literary and transactional texts, girls are presented as heroes who empower themselves and others with lasting effect, as figures of liberating pedagogical practice and educational activism, and as catalysts for discussions of the relationship between desire and ethics. In these varied chapters, a new notion of transnationalism emerges, one rooted not only in the process through which borders between nation-states become more porous, but through which cultural and ethnic imperatives become permeable.
