In recent years Edward II??'s reign has attracted the attention of
a number of scholars whose work has considerably modified the
traditional picture. As a result, there has been a move away from
the emphasis on constitutional and administrative theory and
practice to a consideration of the personalities involved, notably
Edward himself and the earls of Pembroke and Lancaster. Although
medieval biography is difficult, such an approach has been highly
successful - the actions of individuals are seen to be crucial in
any analysis of events. However, since Kathleen Edwards??'s pioneer
article in the mid-1940s, the Church??'s contribution has been
largely neglected. In her view, after Archbishop Winchelsey??'s
death the bishops cut sorry figures indeed. The time has come for a
more sympathetic appraisal, in particular of the role played by
Adam Orleton, promoted successively bishop of Hereford, Worcester
and Winchester by a pope who paid no attention to the
expostulations of the government at home.
"Given the racial complexity of the United States--not to
mention the racism of its foundations and its persistence--why is
it that the most influential white philosophers have not addressed
the issue of race, its social construction and myth, and the
problems it raises on a daily basis?" To answer this question, Roy
Martinez, the editor of this volume, solicited contributions from
eight of the most significant American philosophers working in the
Continental and American pragmatist philosophical traditions. But
there is no one answer: each contributor has a distinct perspective
on the problem and provides an answer reflecting that perspective.
Some approach the question in a personal manner by reflecting on
how race has affected their own lives. Others resort to
meta-analyses of features of philosophy as a discipline that
account for its relative blindness to issues of race. Together they
shed light on an anomaly that distinguishes philosophy from the
other humanities as well as the social sciences--a relative lack of
attention to race compared with class and gender--and thus help us
better understand how the mental frameworks within which scholars
operate can lead to differences in the subjects they take an
interest in analyzing.
Aside from the editor, the contributors are John D. Caputo,
David Couzens Hoy, John Ladd, Joseph Margolis, Ladelle McWhorter,
Shannon Sullivan, Georgia Warnke, and Cynthia Willett.
Early Pentecostalism emerged from the nineteenth-century holiness
movement, and holiness (both in theology and practice) has been a
significant, if at times contentious, feature of the Pentecostal
movement throughout its brief history. This book is an attempt to

the theology of holiness. Twenty Pentecostal scholars identify both
opportunities and challenges for the future of holiness in

disciplines. The Contents are as follows: Introduction-Lee Roy

In Pentecostal Hermeneutics: A Reader Lee Roy Martin brings
together fourteen significant publications on biblical
interpretation, along with a new introduction to Pentecostal
hermeneutics and an extensive up-to-date bibliography on the topic.
Organized chronologically, these essays trace the development of
Pentecostal hermeneutics as an academic discipline. The concerns of
modern historical criticism have often stood at odds with
Pentecostalism's use of Scripture. Therefore, over the last three
decades, Pentecostal scholars have attempted to identify the unique
characteristics and interpretive practices of their tradition and
to offer constructive proposals for a Pentecostal hermeneutic that
would be critically valid and, at the same time, be consistent with
the Pentecostal ethos and conducive for the continued development
of the global Pentecostal movement. Contributors include: Rickie D.
Moore, John Christopher Thomas, Jackie David Johns, Cheryl Bridges
Johns, John W. McKay, Robert O. Baker, Scott A. Ellington, Kenneth
J. Archer, Robby Waddell, Andrew Davies, Clark H. Pinnock, and Lee
Roy Martin.
