'Women Healing/ Healing Women' begins with a search for women who
were healers in the Graeco-Roman world of the late Hellenistic and
early Roman period. Women healers were honoured in inscriptions and
named by medical writers, and were familiar enough to be
stereotyped in plays and other writings. What emerges by the first
century of the Common Era is a world in which women functioned as
healers but where healing becomes a contested site for gender
relations. By the time the gospels are written the place of women
as healers is effectively erased. The book uses the historical and
cultural evidence to re-read the gospel texts and discover healers
in a woman pouring out ointment, healed women bearing on their
bodies the language describing Jesus, and even in women possessed
by demons.
The impetus for this book was the startling realization that within
early Christianity, which is characterised by healing, no women are
explicitly commissioned to heal. The work begins with a search for
the women who were healers in the Graeco-Roman world of the late
Hellenistic and early Roman period, finding them honored in
inscriptions, named by medical writers, and stereotyped by
playwrights and other literateurs. What emerges, therefore, by the
first century of the Common Era, is a world in which women
functioned as healers as well as healed and that healing was a site
of contestation in relation to gender. The interpretive lens
brought to bear on the wide range of sources used in this study is
a multi-dimensional one informed by feminism, post-colonialism and
ecological studies.
Regional concerns-climate change, conquest, migration,
displacement, resettlement, asylum, discipleship, and
others-challenge authors currently situated in Oceania to reflect
on the practices of biblical interpretation and to consequently
reread biblical texts with fluid understandings of borders and
belonging(s).
From childhood to millennials and beyond, it is essential we take a
life-course approach to occupation and work when in pain. Written
by experts in the field, Work and pain: A lifespan development
approach provides an authoritative summary and analysis of the
relationship between all forms of occupation and pain. Divided into
three sections, 'Foundations', provides a critical account of the
nature of work and of pain. The next section, 'Investigations',
analyses the bi-directional relationships between children living
with chronic pain and parents; between being a child in pain and
schooling; what it is to be a millennial in pain; the implications
of pain which is determined to be occupational in origin; and
enabling a life lived well with pain as one ages. The final
section, 'Interventions', critically reviews what individuals can
change, what workplaces can do, and how governments can innovate to
try to maximise workability for people living with pain in the
context of current working practices. Work and pain: A lifespan
development approach investigates and guides the reader on
understanding how and why people seek to be occupied, and how we
can maximise their social and personal involvement when living with
ongoing pain, suggesting ways forward in research, practice, and
policy.

Concilium is an international theological journal published five
times a year in five languages. With its origins in the renewal of
Catholic theological thinking following the Second Vatican Council,
"Concilium" draws together a wide range of the best of current
leading theological writers from Europe, the Americas, Asia and
Africa. It is a catholic journal in the widest sense: rooted firmly
in the Catholic heritage, open to other Christian tradition and the
world's faiths. Each issue of "Concilium" focuses on a theme of
crucial importance and the widest possible concern for our time.
"Eco-Theology" shows how theologians from around the world engage
with the question of how to respond to the global ecological crisis
and the natural and human-made disasters resulting from it. Topics
include: 'Earth as Gaia - An Ethical and Spiritual Challenge'
(Leonardo Boff), 'Ashes and Dust: On (not) Speaking about God
Ecologically' (Anne Elvey), 'Toward and Inter-religious
Eco-theology' (Felix Wilfred), 'Learning from the Earth:
Reflections on Theological Education and the Ecological Crisis'
(John Clammer), and 'Ethical Management of Natural Resources'
(Jayapaul Azariah).
In popular culture, the Bible is generally associated with films:
The Passion of the Christ, The Ten Commandments, Jesus of Montreal,
and many others. Less attention has been given to the relationship
between the Bible and other popular media such as hip-hop, reggae,
rock, and country and western music; popular and graphic novels;
animated television series; and apocalyptic fantasy. This
collection of essays explores a range of media and the way the
Bible features in them, applying various hermeneutical approaches,
engaging with critical theory, and providing conceptual resources
and examples of how the Bible reads popular culture and how popular
culture reads the Bible. This useful resource will be of interest
for both biblical and cultural studies. The contributors are Elaine
M. Wainwright, Michael Gilmour, Mark McEntire, Dan W. Clanton Jr.,
Philip Culbertson, Jim Perkinson, Noel Leo Erskine, Tex Sample,
Roland Boer, Terry Ray Clark, Steve Taylor, Tina Pippin, Laura
Copier, Jaap Kooijman, Caroline Vander Stichele, and Erin Runions.
