Sport is a major preoccupation of the modern world. It consumes the
time and energies of millions of people around the globe. In fact,
for many participants, it operates much like a functional
equivalent of religion, giving them a way to interpret and
understand the world. Sports stadiums are the cathedrals of our
time. Sports stars are the saints or demi-gods through whom we
access the transcendent. Members of the sports media serve as
religious scribes, and sports fans are the worshiping faithful.
What is true of sport is also true, more generally, of play.
Nevertheless, and quite remarkably, Christian theologians and
religious historians have been surprisingly slow to recognize the
spiritual and cultural significance of sport and play, or to engage
in the study of these concepts. This book attempts to redress that
neglect by integrating sport and play with Christian faith and
practice. In Sports and Play in Christian Theology, ten Christian
scholars and practitioners explore sport and play from theological,
biblical, historical, and pastoral perspectives. This rich
collection of wide-ranging reflections and focused case studies
will help readers locate sport and play within Christian faith and
practice.

Forgiveness is at the heart of the Christian Gospel. It goes hand
in hand with love, mercy, and grace, the fundamental theological
virtues. However, forgiveness is easier to define than it is to
embody. This unique collection of essays brings together
theologians, ethicists, and ministry practitioners into a
constructive dialog which explores the complex and crucial concept
of forgiveness: what it is, where it is to be found, and how it
might be practiced. These essays reflect the perspectives of those
from various traditions who nonetheless take the Christian
Scriptures seriously, believe that forgiveness is central to living
out the Gospel, and are creative in the ways in which forgiveness
can be practiced. Forgiveness is an art and not simply a science;
as such it requires trust, skill, and hope alongside love, mercy,
and grace if it is to be embodied. This volume offers a unique
window into the art of forgiveness and the faithful and innovative
ways in which it is to be understood, embodied, and cultivated.

Exploring the darker side of optimism, Sarah Harris Wallman's debut
collection shows women attempting to build durable havens from
reality, struggling to keep relationships intact, and reinventing
themselves. A lonely music teacher at a Nashville Christian academy
awaits the miracle of love; a Jane Doe recalls the affair that
sustained, and ended, her; a new mother brings life into the world
during a bleak election party; young girls are exploited by a
nightclub owner in death, as in life. Alone or in weird sisterhood,
some of these women are senseless because they refuse to feel,
others because they've been deprived of stimuli and attention. As
these twelve stories prove, there's no sensible way to fall in
love, raise children, or escape. This is Senseless Women.
This beautifully crafted book collects images, which were created
during the process of research in all fields of theoretical
biology. Data analysis, numerical treatment of a model, or
simulation results yield stunning images, which represent pieces of
art just by themselves. The approach of the book is to present for
each piece of visualization a lucid synopsis of the scientific
background as well as an outline of the artistic vision.
NORMAL (definition)

Florence doesn't always see things the way other people do. She feels different.
When Florence meets Jasper, Andrew and Wilf she can't imagine they'd have much in common - with at least five mental health conditions between them, they all have very different reasons for being referred to Manor Lane Therapy Centre.
It's only when their therapist, Howard, goes missing that they find a common purpose. Worried by his disappearance and wanting answers, the four of them decide to track him down.
As they cross the country in a 'borrowed' van, asking each other Ultimate Questions and facing a series of challenges along the way, they start to reveal their true selves - and Florence realises there's more to all of them than just a diagnosis . . .
Maybe they're not so different after all?
Full of irreverent humour, witty dialogue and characters you can't help but fall in love with, this timely novel is perfect for fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell and Jennifer Niven.

In Luke-Acts, Jesus can be seen to take on the attributes of the
Davidic shepherd king, a representation successfully conveyed
through specific narrative devices. The presence of the shepherds
in the birth narrative can be understood as an indication of this
understanding of Jesus. Sarah Harris analyses the multiple ways
scholars have viewed the shepherds as characters in the narrative,
and uses this as an example of how the theme of Jesus' shepherd
nature is interwoven into the narrative as a whole. From the
starting point of Jesus' human life, Harris moves to later events
portrayed in Jesus' ministry in which he is seen to enact his
message as God's faithful Davidic shepherd, in particular, the
parable of the Lost Sheep and the Zacchaeus pericope (19:1-10).
Harris uses this latter encounter to underline that Jesus may be
hailed as a King by the crowds as he enters Jerusalem, but he is
not simply a king. He is God's Davidic Shepherd King, as prophesied
in Micah 5 and Ezekiel 34, who brings the gospel of peace and
salvation to the earth.
