In the Hebrew Bible, ḥesed (steadfast love, loyalty, devotion)
denotes an important concept that is relevant to interpersonal
relationships in every generation. In this book, Karen Nelson
investigates New Testament engagement with that concept and the
exegetical value of recognizing such engagement. This investigation
employs an original hybrid of two methodological approaches:
intertextuality, used to consider how New Testament authors
appropriate texts that evoke ḥesed or ḥāsîd, and
categorization, used to analyze and compare instances of the
categories ḥsd and ḥsyd within the Hebrew Bible and the New
Testament. Nelson’s work challenges assertions that the New
Testament equivalent of ḥesed is agapē (love) or charis (grace).
Rather, she contends that ḥesed and ḥāsîd are more likely to
be evoked by the terms with which they are most often rendered in
the Septuagint: eleos and hosios, respectively. Nelson rereads
selected New Testament pericopes in light of ḥesed, highlighting
points about ongoing devotion to kinship and covenantal
relationships often overlooked in those contexts and showing how
New Testament authors and figures utilize the ḥesed tradition to
critique the contemporary socioreligious situation and encourage
belief, enduring commitment, and appropriately changed lifestyles.
Addressing a topic that spans the Hebrew Bible and the New
Testament, this study will be of value to biblical scholars,
especially those who are interested in semantics.
In Tudor and Stuart Britain, women writers took active roles in
negotiating cultural ideas and systems to gain power, in
participating in politics through writing, in shaping the
aesthetics of genre, and in fashioning feminine gender, despite
constraints on women. Through the lens of cultural studies, the
authors explore the ways in which women of this era worked to
actually create culture. Articles cover five areas: women, writing
and material culture; women as objects and agents in reproducing
culture; women's role in producing gender; popular culture and
women's pamphlets; and women's bodies as inscriptions of culture.
Papers include women's poetry and the Tudor-Stuart system of gift
exchange, class perspective in Pembroke's ""Psalmes"", and
questions of balance in the sonnets of Mary Stuart.
Splendid, spiritual, and subversive, this anthology offers a
sampler of just some of the feminisms emerging in academic
seminars, street demonstrations for justice, and places where
people are reclaiming their ancestral values.
"She Is Everywhere Vol. 2" is comprised of international essays,
poems, and works of art from the growing community of women and men
who recognize Her and feel Her call to expression in many forms.
This unique volume presents a fresh look at women in the
Judeo-Christian Bible, in the Koran, and in the kaleidoscopic
beauty of the world's women from her signs in caves, cliffs, and
forests to her many faces, manifestations, and hidden places.
Celebrate woman's spirituality, her colors, her islands and
continents, her rages and blessings in weather, her silences, and
her surprising epiphanies. "She Is Everywhere Vol. 2" leads the
contemporary cultural and political nonviolent revolution for a
radically democratic and harmonious world full of compassion,
equality, and transformation

Many approaches seek to facilitate information and knowledge
management (IKM) practices within business contexts. These
approaches identify organizational factors (e.g. culture or IT) or
to suggest management processes (e.g. HRM) that are conducive to
IKM. Existing work has tended to ignore the complexity of
organizational contexts and the interdependencies between
information and knowledge. This work reports on an interpretive
multi-methodological research (MMR) study consisting of three
sequential phases: action research, transition and case study. The
data arising from the three research phases is synthesized to (1)
confirm a suitable referent model on which IKM frameworks can be
based and (2) develop a practical IKM framework. The referent model
features two established concepts: (a) the domains of IKM activity
and (b) double and single loop feedback loops. The practical IKM
framework has three dimensions: (i) domains of IKM activity and
feedback loops (ii) organizational enablers (iii) project context.
This framework will be useful to practitioners needing managing the
business environment to ensure success of IKM projects or
initiatives.
This volume considers women's roles in the conflicts and
negotiations of the early modern world. Essays explore the ways
that gender shapes women's agency in times of war, religious
strife, and economic change. How were conflict and concord gendered
in histories, literature, music, and political, legal, didactic,
and religious treatises? Four interdisciplinary plenary topics
ground this exploration: Negotiations, Economies, Faiths &
Spiritualities, and Pedagogies. Scholars focus upon many regions of
the early modern world--the Atlantic world, the Mediterranean
world, Granada, Indonesia, the Low Countries, England, and
Italy--inflected by such religions as Islam, Catholicism, and
Reformed Protestantism, as they came into contact with indigenous
spiritualities and with one another. Essays and workshop summaries
analyze how gender and class are implicated in economic change and
assess the ways gender and religion map onto voyages of trade,
exploration, or imperialism. They investigate how women, as
individuals and as members of political or family networks, were
instrumental in transmitting, promoting, supporting, or thwarting
different religions during times of religious crises. This volume
also offers methods for teaching and researching these topics. It
will be invaluable to scholars of medieval and early modern women's
studies, especially those working in history, literature,
languages, musicology, and religious studies.
