One of the most respected and influential Christian leaders of the
last decades, Chuck Colson engaged millions through his books,
public speaking, and radio broadcasts. In My Final Word, longtime
Colson coauthor Anne Morse has selected and arranged pieces Colson
wrote mostly during the last ten years of his life, spotlighting
what he saw as key topics of ongoing importance for Christian
cultural engagement. Some of these issues include: crime and
punishment natural law Islam same-sex marriage the persecution of
Christians and more This paperback edition also contains a new
chapter not in the hardcover, Colson's final thoughts on poverty.
Longtime readers and new readers alike will be struck by the power
and immediacy of Colson's arguments. My Final Word is a fitting end
to Colson's distinguished publishing career, a behind-the-scenes
encounter with an influential thinker, and a needed call to an
ongoing and relevant Christian public witness.
LENSES ON COMPOSITION STUDIES Edited by Sheryl I. Fontaine and
Steve Westbrook Most treatments of plagiarism as part of
undergraduate education deal with the issue in an overly simplistic
and misleading fashion, tending to imply that plagiarism is a
concept easily understood and easily avoided, casting the problem
as an ethical issue-a choice between honesty and dishonesty-and/or
as a technical issue, best avoided by attention to appropriate
citation formats. Edited by Michael Donnelly, Rebecca Ingalls,
Tracy Ann Morse, Joanna Castner Post, and Anne Meade
Stockdell-Giesler, CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PLAGIARISM instead
invites students and teachers to engage in deep, critical
discussions about a complicated topic in ways that are both
accessible and intellectually challenging. The essays address a
range of complex, interrelated ideas, concepts, and issues:
theories about knowledge creation and ideas about authorship;
issues of collaboration, borrowing, remixing, and plagiarism;
copyright and intellectual property; historical constructions of
authorship; student and teacher identities and roles;
cross-cultural perspectives on plagiarism; and the impact of new
technologies. Contributors include Phillip Marzluf, Jessica Reyman,
Esra Mirze Santesso, Paul Parker, Richard Schur, Martine Courant
Rife, Danielle Nicole DeVoss, Deborah Harris-Moore, Sean Zwagerman,
Bridget M. Marshall, Rachel Knaizer, Lise Buranen, and Anne-Marie
Pedersen. Rather than speak down to students about what they don't
know or understand, these essays invite students to explore and
discuss in depth the controversies about plagiarism that writers
constantly negotiate across a variety of contexts. CRITICAL
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PLAGIARISM makes such discussions accessible to
undergraduate and graduate students, and, at the same time, it
provides teachers with tools for facilitating those conversations.
CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PLAGIARISM is the second volume in
Parlor Press's LENSES ON COMPOSITION STUDIES series, which features
texts written specifically for upper-level undergraduate and
entry-level graduate courses in composition studies.
Signs and Wonders traces the intertwining of Protestant religion
and the development of the deaf community from the nineteenth
through the twenty-first century. Tracy Ann Morse draws on
nineteenth-century speeches, sermons, and pamphlets; highlights the
role of missionary movements in the spread of sign language; and
shows how film and stage productions drew on religious themes in
their portrayal of the deaf community and its struggles. The first
book to take a serious look at the intersection of religion and the
deaf community, Signs and Wonders breaks new ground and opens up
new avenues for continuing study.
