How can one reconcile the political nature of Jesus with his
disinclination to power? Moore's argument comes in three stages.
Part one answers the question 'Was Jesus Political?' by examining
Jesus' words and actions that have political import. Part two
addresses the issue 'How was Jesus Political?' It concentrates on
Mark 10:32-45 as a real articulation of Jesus' political praxis
that is consistent throughout Jesus' ministry and teaching. Part
three, 'Why did Jesus not openly announce his political role?'
examines Jesus' treatment of the Jewish kings of the past,
particularly why Jesus, 'meek and mild,' could claim to surpass
them in honor. It is argued that Jesus' disinclination to associate
himself with other rulers is not a rejection of a political role.
Rather, he lived so consistently with his political praxis of
self-abnegation that these other rulers were not appropriate models
for Jesus to follow. Furthermore, the very claim to such titles was
antithetical to his political praxis which relinquished all
aggrandizement to God, who alone could exalt, abase, judge, and
rule.
This scholarly handbook covers all aspects of people with
disabilities entering the workplace, including the legal aspects,
transitions, types, and levels of employments, the impact of
different disabilities, and the consideration of the intersection
of disability with other identities such as gender and ethnicity.
Comprehensive in scope, chapters look beyond organizational
strategies that accommodate an employee's disability and use case
studies to highlight important issues and the individual's
perspective. The handbook concludes with a reflection on the work
included in the book, what was not included and why, and makes
recommendations for future disability research. Marking a major
contribution to the study of workplace diversity and bringing
together academics from various disciplines and global regions,
this handbook covers a truly broad and diverse mix of approaches,
theories, and models.
