Since the emergence of disability studies over the last several decades, disability theorists have often settled for sweeping generalizations about "biblical" notions of disability. Yet, academic or critical biblical scholarship has shown that many texts involving disability in the Bible is much more nuanced than a casual reading or isolated proof texting may indicate. A primary goal of this volume is to familiarize a wide audience, including advanced students, scholars, clergy, and interested lay readers, with research on disability and the Bible done by scholars who specialize in biblical studies.
Karen Griffith is a smart, independent, creative, passionate, forty
seven year old, mountain-climbing grandma. Her business card reads
"Transformational Technician: Give me a week - I'll give you your
life." Her new client, actor/director Sam Hudson, is in crisis and
unable to continue working. The novel deals with genuine
life-changing issues interspersed with quick-witted dialogue,
physical comedy and vivid images of Southern California's
coastline. After several disastrous false starts, Sam and Karen
come to acknowledge their true feelings for each other. A midnight
escapade on Sam's yacht proves the title of the book to be
true.

It illustrates how academic or critical biblical scholarship has shown that many texts involving disability in the Bible is much more nuanced than a casual reading or isolated proof texting may indicate.

Parental involvement in schools has been contested for decades. Although it is clear that parents have a responsibility to care for and nurture their children, the legislated role of schools to educate children leaves somewhat ambiguous the role of parents. Using Hannah Arendt's notions of public and private and the emergence of a social sphere this conceptual research examines the complex relationship of parents to schools. This study illustrates how parents can play an important role in the public school education of their children. The struggle for control in education has its roots in the history of public education, legislation, the emergence of unions and the postindustrial global production/consumption market economy. The emerging role of parents as advocates for their children in the schools may restore some balance to the public/private relationship, however, it may also reveal some of the problems of power and control within the system.
