Christian theatre has rich roots, from ancient Hebrew dramas to
medieval plays, but where does it fit in today's media-saturated
society?
"Performing the Sacred "is a fascinating dialogue between a
theologian and theatre artist, offering the first full-scale
exploration of theatre and theology. The authors illuminate the
importance of live performance in a virtual world, of preserving
the ancient art form of storytelling by becoming the story.
Theologically, theatre reflects Christianity's central
doctrines--incarnation, community, and presence--enhancing the
human creative experience and simultaneously engaging viewers on
multiple levels.
This Engaging Culture series title will be a key volume for those
interested in theatre as well as drama practitioners, worship
leaders, and culture makers.
Bronze Age Worlds brings a new way of thinking about kinship to the
task of explaining the formation of social life in Bronze Age
Britain and Ireland. Britain and Ireland's diverse landscapes and
societies experienced varied and profound transformations during
the twenty-fifth to eighth centuries BC. People's lives were shaped
by migrations, changing beliefs about death, making and thinking
with metals, and living in houses and field systems. This book
offers accounts of how these processes emerged from social life,
from events, places and landscapes, informed by a novel theory of
kinship. Kinship was a rich and inventive sphere of culture that
incorporated biological relations but was not determined by them.
Kinship formed personhood and collective belonging, and associated
people with nonhuman beings, things and places. The differences in
kinship and kinwork across Ireland and Britain brought textures to
social life and the formation of Bronze Age worlds. Bronze Age
Worlds offers new perspectives to archaeologists and
anthropologists interested in the place of kinship in Bronze Age
societies and cultural development.

Ocean and coastal management regimes are increasingly subject to
competing demands from stakeholders. Regulations must not only
address fishing, recreation, and shipping, but also sand and gravel
mining, gas pipelines, harbor/port development, offshore wind and
tidal energy facilities, liquefied natural gas terminals, offshore
aquaculture, and desalinization plants. The growing variety and
intensity of ocean and coastal uses increases the call for a more
holistic, comprehensive, and coordinated management approach that
recognizes the often complex relationships between natural and
human systems. For both economist and non-economist audiences, this
book describes ways in which economic analysis can be an important
tool to inform and improve ecosystem-based management (EBM). Topics
include modeling economic impacts, benefit-cost analysis, spatial
considerations in EBM, incentives and human behaviors, and
accounting for uncertainty in policy analysis. Throughout the book
the authors elucidate the different kinds of insights which can be
gained from the use of different economic tools. In this rigorous
and accessible work, the authors defy the conventional stereotype
that economic perspectives necessarily favor the greatest
commercial development. Instead, they demonstrate how comprehensive
economic analyses consider the full range of potential services
offered by marine and coastal ecosystems, including the
conservation of biodiversity and creation of recreational
opportunities.

The third edition of this highly successful case book has been
expanded and updated to reflect the increasing reliance upon
comprehensive case material in the teaching of operations
management. The text begins with an introduction to analysing
operations management cases. Each of the subsequent parts deals
with a key area of operations management and begins with an
expanded introduction, allowing the book to serve as a stand alone
text for introductory operations management courses.
Three media experts guide the Christian moviegoer into a
theological conversation with movies in this up-to-date, readable
introduction to Christian theology and film. Building on the
success of Robert Johnston's Reel Spirituality, the leading
textbook in the field for the past 17 years, Deep Focus helps film
lovers not only watch movies critically and theologically but also
see beneath the surface of their moving images. The book discusses
a wide variety of classic and contemporary films and is illustrated
with film stills from favorite movies.
2018 Clifford G. Christians Ethics Research Award This informed
theology of communication and media analyzes how we consume new
media and technologies and discusses the impact on our social and
religious lives. Combining expertise in religion online, theology,
and technology, the authors synthesize scholarly work on religion
and the internet for a nonspecialist audience. They show that both
media studies and theology offer important resources for helping
Christians engage in a thoughtful and faith-based critical
evaluation of the effect of new media technologies on society, our
lives, and the church.
This collection of bite-sized mini essays is for everyone who wants
to find a balance between work and the rest of life. The authors--a
theologian and a market researcher--have added their own wisdom to
compelling quotes and the latest market research to nourish,
challenge, and surprise readers.
