This book examines the practice of toleration and the experience of
religious diversity in the early modern world. Recent scholarship
has shown the myriad ways in which religious differences were
accommodated in the early modern era (1500â1800). This book
propels this revisionist wave further by linking the accommodation
of religious diversity in early modern communities to the
experience of this diversity by individuals. It does so by studying
the forms and patterns of interaction between members of different
religious groups, including Christian denominations, Muslims, and
Jews, in territories ranging from Europe to the Americas and
South-East Asia. This book is structured around five key concepts:
the senses, identities, boundaries, interaction, and space. For
each concept, the book provides chapters based on new, original
research plus an introduction that situates the chapters in their
historiographic context. Early Modern Toleration: New Approaches is
aimed primarily at undergraduate and postgraduate students, to whom
it offers an accessible introduction to the study of religious
toleration in the early modern era. Additionally, scholars will
find cutting-edge contributions to the field in the bookâs
chapters.
Known as the "book of books," the Bible is the most successful
bestselling book of all times. It lays the foundations for the
worldview and moral stance of followers of all monotheistic
religions. Beyond its religious significance and its contribution
to the faith in one God, the Bible presents a framework that
provides meaning and value to human existence in our world. The
Bible provides lifestyle guidance, and suggests responses to crisis
situations that are inevitable in human life. For the religious and
non-religious alike, the Bible constitutes an important source of
cultural heritage, worldviews, fundamental values, and basic codes
of social conduct and personal beliefs. What is the secret of the
Bible's perpetual appeal and the value attributed to it by so many
individuals? The Bible presents the entire range of human
characteristics, positive and negative. No human emotion or
feeling, no matter how difficult or subversive, is foreign to the
Bible. The Bible covers it all. Examination of the stories and
contents of the Bible reveals their interest to all ages and across
the ages. Thousands of years old, the stories continue to resonate
with us, deepening our self-awareness and awareness of those around
us. Nevertheless modern psychology and psychiatry have made
relatively very little use of these materials, being based largely
on a classical Greek view of mental life. Instead, much of
traditional psychotherapy has been based on classical Greek
foundation legends (for example, Oedipus, Electra, and Narcissus).
This view unfortunately seems to carry the tragic vision of
classical Greece into modern life. In this view, no real change is
possible, whereas in the Biblical stories, life is not tragic but
hopeful, and people can and do change. The idea that people's lives
are not determined and that people have free will to change things
around them is essential in empowering people to fight for social
justice, and to generally show concern for other people. In this
book, we present seven Biblical tales, ordered to the days of
Creation. Just as God created the Earth in the Biblical tales, so
it is that we can create our own journeys, filled with insight,
ingenuity and compassion. Each of these stories has been adapted
for children in pre K-5th grades. Commentaries, questions and
activities follow each story. We suggest using these stories to
deepen a child's understanding of the ebb and flow of life. Because
the Bible addresses human emotions and human interactions, its
stories seem to provide appropriate means of encouraging interest
in and discussion of fundamental human issues, fostering social
skills and values.
212 original poems regarding the author's understanding of
necessary positivity with the goal in mind of transforming our
world today to a better yet realistic one- desired, unified,

What if you had the power and connections to stop terrorism?
Paradise Denied! tells the tale of a covert organization, Stop
Terrorism Now (STN), who has both. Their mission: Destroy global
terrorism.
Terrorists are under attack! STN has declared their War against
Terrorists on September 11, 2010, nine years after the Twin Towers
attack.
Paradise Denied! engrosses the reader in this intricate and
powerful plot while delving into personal and political issues and
controversies.
Paradise Denied! is a story of three ordinary men with lofty
ideals who assume leadership roles. Each man leads a dual life as
they vacillate between being a normal citizen and the clandestine
leader of their respective killing teams. World leaders feel
threatened. The Peace Envoys, originally created to help third
world countries, are thrust into a new and secret mission: Destroy
STN. Two clandestine groups with vast resources strive to eliminate
their adversary. Will either succeed?
Ambitious humanitarian military, economic and social interventions,
undertaken by Western actors acting in defence of liberal values,
have today become indelible features of Africa's engagement with
the world. Yet the continent's long, complex historical
relationship with Western humanitarian intervention, dating back to
the origins of imperial engagement with the continent, is often
overlooked in the study of contemporary African security and
development issues. This volume responds to a need for greater
historical grounding in the study of humanitarian intervention, by
bringing together a wide and interdisciplinary range of
contributors who explore the history, theory, and practice of
humanitarian intervention in Africa. In doing so, it traces
continuities in the discourse and practice of the concept as it
evolved from the colonial past to the present, and argues that the
West's colonial relationship with Africa is crucial for better
understanding humanitarian intervention and how the legacies of
colonialism continue to impact emerging international policy.
At first sight, the subjects of piety and family life may appear to
have little in common. Yet, as the essays in this volume make
clear, there are in fact a number of shared features and points of
contact that make the study of these issues a particularly fertile
area for scholars of the Reformation period. Whether it be the
concept of an individual's relationship with God - so often
articulated in familial terms, the place of domestic devotions, or
the difficulties that faced families split by rival confessional
beliefs and mixed marriages, this book demonstrates how piety and
family life were interwoven in the social and theological landscape
of early modern Europe. Inspired by the works of Steven Ozment, the
volume is divided into two sections, each of which deals with a
particular concern of his writings. The first four chapters address
issues of Reformation theology and the medieval heritage, whilst
the remaining seven examine the spiritual life of families.
Together they underline how modern scholarship by broadening its
conceptual outlook and bringing together seemingly unrelated
subjects, can provide a more sophisticated understanding of the
past.
Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935) was the first Ashkenazic
chief rabbi of mandatory Palestine. Admired for the incredible
diversity of his talents and interests--talmudist, halakhist,
kabbalist, mystic, theologian, moralist, poet, and communal
leader--Rav Kook's world outlook extolled breadth and derided
narrow specialization. More than any other Orthodox thinker in
modern times, he addressed, squarely and boldly, the confrontation
between Judaism and the modern world. Kook serves as a natural
model to those Jews who seek a religious understanding of and
response to the culture and politics of the modern age.
These essays, most published here for the first time, offer a range
of analyses and interpretations covering, in an accessible,
systematic, and comprehensive fashion the major areas of Rav Kook's
thought. Among the issues discussed are: his relationship to the
Jewish mystical, philosophical, and halakhic traditions; poetry and
spirituality; harmonism and pluralism; tolerance and its limits;
Zionism, messianism, and politics; and Rav Kook today.
Looking at schizophrenia from the point of view of individuals
actually suffering from the disease, this text gives a first-hand
insight into the process and effects of the disease. Throughout the
narratives, poetry and artwork, Kaplan and Harrow add comments
illuminating the meaning and pyschological significance of the
stories.
The religious histories of Christian and Muslim countries in Europe
and Western Asia are often treated in isolation from one another.
This can lead to a limited and simplistic understanding of the
international and interreligious interactions currently taking
place. This edited collection brings these national and religious
narratives into conversation with each other, helping readers to
formulate a more sophisticated comprehension of the social and
cultural factors involved in the tolerance and intolerance that has
taken place in these areas, and continues today. Part One of this
volume examines the history of relations between people of
different Christian confessions in western and central Europe. Part
Two then looks at the relations between Western and Eastern
Orthodox Christianity, Islam and Judaism in the vast area that
extends around the Mediterranean from the Iberian Peninsula to
western Asia. Each Part ends with a Conclusion that considers the
wider implications of the preceding essays and points the way
toward future research. Bringing together scholars from Asia, the
Middle East, Europe, and America this volume embodies an
international collaboration of unusual range. Its comparative
approach will be of interest to scholars of Religion and History,
particularly those with an emphasis on interreligious relations and
religious tolerance.
First published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

An alternative to existing bipolar choices, this book looks at individuals and their distances from the self (individuation-deindividuation) and from others (attachment-detachment). Simultaneously theoretical, empirical, and applied, this book can be reasonably applied to all types of individuals involved in interpersonal situations regardless of culture, age, gender, or sexual orientations. Broken into four parts, in the first part, Definitions and Measurements, the author includes an introduction to the Individuation-Attachment Questionnaire. Implications of TILT for Individuals is the basis for Part Two and includes a view of TILT across the life span. The next section extends the analysis to TILT for Couples and Families. The clinician, counselors, and individuals attempting to help himself/herself are addressed in the final part: TILT for the Clinician and includes application of TILT to everyday life. The text brings to life, through extensive description, the questions and situations consistently raised in couples therapy: space-too much or not enough. TILT: Teaching Individuals To Live Together presents a unique model of individuation and attachment and was developed to facilitate the understanding of the complex relationship between these two developmental processes across the life span. The model shows how we gradually develop our boundaries and hence reduce the need for defensive interpersonal walls. The TILT model has applications in the fields of therapy, education, and organizational development. Thus, it will be of interest to mental health professionals including psychotherapists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists. Practitioners of transactional analysis will find this book of supreme interest and usefulness.

The history of humanitarian intervention has often overlooked
Africa. This book brings together perspectives from history,
cultural studies, international relations, policy, and
non-governmental organizations to analyze the themes, continuities
and discontinuities in Western humanitarian engagement with Africa.
Entering a full-time private practice and forsaking the comforts of
a regular paycheck was a difficult decision for me. Fortunately, I
was able to begin my practice on a part-time basis in space rented
from two physician friends. By using my behavior skills for
self-management and organization, I was then able to help my
practice grow so that, with some trepidation, I moved into a
full-time practice. I have continued to maintain my practice
according to the same ethical, professional, and business
assumptions discussed in this book. One of the reasons for my
writing this book is that, at the time I was beginning my practice,
there was no one text that helped me begin or to explain what "nuts
and bolts" issues I needed to consider. As my practice has grown, I
continued to see a need for a resource text to help the beginning
therapist get started. I decided to describe the assump tions,
methods, and issues that I have used so as to present a discussion
of timely issues relevant to the practice of behavior therapy."
