The nine chapters in this book, along with a critical introduction,
address complex theological issues relating to structural
inequalities of our society, exacerbated by the experience of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Pastoral theology as an academic discipline is
not a value-free enterprise. This book strives to speak against all
forms of injustice and to advocate for those who suffer under
existing structural inequalities because such a liberative and
social transformative task constitutes the fundamental work of
pastoral theology. Each chapter in this book analyses how private
problems of individuals are occurring within the immediate world of
experience with public issues historically, socially, and
politically. As a whole, this book addresses racial injustice,
ableism, foster family care, and issues faced by Christian churches
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Pastoral
Theology.
In Rediscovering Japan, Reintroducing Christendom Japan's unvoiced
Christian history and cultural roots are examined from an
alternative perspective. It is commonly believed that Christianity
was introduced to Japan by the Spanish and Portuguese missionaries
during the 1500s; however, Samuel Lee draws on various forms of
cultural, religious and linguistic evidence to argue that
Christianity was introduced to Japan through the Lost Tribes of
Israel, who were converted to Christianity through the missionary
efforts of the Assyrian Church of the East around A.D. 500. Much of
the evidence he discusses has become submerged into many Japanese
folkloric songs, festivals and is to be found in temples. There
are, for example, approximately 300 words in Japanese and
Hebrew/Aramaic that are similar. Further, Dr. Lee outlines the
history of Catholicism in Japan during the 1500s, the systematic
persecution of Christians from 1600s to the 1800s, and the rise of
Protestant Church in Japan. The historical portion of the book ends
with an analysis and discussion of 21st century Japanese society.
Lastly, in Rediscovering Japan, Reintroducing Christendom, Samuel
Lee questions the missiological methods of Western Christianity and
advocates an approach based in dialogue between Christianity and
other cultures.
Cardio-Hepatology: Connections Between Hepatic and Cardiovascular
Disease provides a direct relationship between the cardiac and
hepatic pathologies providing the link between the heart and liver
and showing how liver diseases predispose to impairment in heart
functioning and vice versa. Considering the growing number of
patients living (and living longer) with heart failure and/or
congenital heart disease, it is important to know when and how to
test for liver disease in this population, how to interpret
abnormal test results, and what management is appropriate. Coverage
includes what should be done for patients to limit, avoid, or
postpone the impairment in the liver functioning induced by heart
diseases and the impairment in the heart functioning induced by
liver diseases, on the basis of scientific-exposed evidence and
pathophysiology knowledge. This comprehensive, extended review of
the medical literature is perfect for researchers interested in the
connection between cardiology and hepatology as well as clinicians
making therapeutic decisions for patients suffering from heart or
liver chronic diseases.
