This companion volume to T. F. Torrance's Incarnation: The Person
and Life of Christ presents the material on the work of Christ,
centered in the atonement, given originally in his lectures
delivered to his students in Christian Dogmatics on Christology at
New college, Edinburgh, from 1952-1978. Like the first volume, the
original lecture matierial has been expertly edited by Robert
Walker, complete with cross-reference to Torrance's other works.
Readers will find this the most readable work of Torrance and,
together with Incarnation, the closest to a systematic theology we
have from this eminent theologian.
This first of two volumes comprises Thomas Torrance's lectures
delivered to students in Christian Dogmatics on Christology at New
College, Edinburgh, from 1952 to 1978. In eight chapters these
expertly edited lectures focus on the meaning and significance of
the incarnation The most readable and accessible of Torrance's
works An invaluable introduction to the thought of Thomas Torrance
and to the heart and core of his theological reflections throughout
his published work A major account of the whole classical and also
reformed doctrine of the person of Christ Interacts extensively
with Scripture, making it a theological commentary on the whole
Bible Available for the first time, it contains new material never
before published on key issues and themes Illuminates and fills out
a number of important topics he touched on but did not develop
elsewhere "T. F. Torrance stands as one of the finest
English-speaking theologians of modern times. Here we have the
nearest thing to the systematic theology he had always hoped to
write. Scripturally rooted, philosophically acute and always alert
to the theological issues that really matter, this book cannot fail
to inspire anyone who cares about constructive Christian thought in
our day." Jeremy Begbie, Thomas Langford Research Professor of
Theology, Duke University
2021 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Public Theology &
Current Events) Christians are often thought of as defending only
their own religious interests in the public square. They are viewed
as worrying exclusively about the erosion of their freedom to
assemble and to follow their convictions, while not seeming as
concerned about publicly defending the rights of Muslims, Hindus,
Jews, and atheists to do the same. Andrew T. Walker, an emerging
Southern Baptist public theologian, argues for a robust Christian
ethic of religious liberty that helps the church defend religious
freedom for everyone in a pluralistic society. Whether explicitly
religious or not, says Walker, every person is striving to make
sense of his or her life. The Christian foundations of religious
freedom provide a framework for how Christians can navigate deep
religious difference in a secular age. As we practice religious
liberty for our neighbors, we can find civility and commonality
amid disagreement, further the church's engagement in the public
square, and become the strongest defenders of religious liberty for
all. Foreword by noted Princeton scholar Robert P. George.
This book is a must-read for anyone studying and researching the
rise and fall of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy and McCarthyism in
American political life. Intolerance in America that targets
alleged internal subversives controlled by external agents has a
storied history that stretches hundreds of years. While the
post-World War II "Red Scare" and the emergence of McCarthyism
during the 1950s is the era commonly associated with American
anticommunism, there was also a "First Red Scare" that occurred in
1919-1920. In both time periods, many Americans feared the
radicalism of the left, and some of the most outspoken-like
McCarthy-used slander to denounce their political enemies. The
result was an atmosphere in which individual rights and liberties
were at risk and hysteria prevailed. McCarthyism and the Red Scare:
A Reference Guide tracks the rise and fall of Senator Joe McCarthy
and the broad pursuit of domestic "Red" subversives in the
post-World War II years, and focuses on how American society
responded to real and perceived threats from the left during the
first decade of the Cold War. Provides an overview of McCarthyism
and the postwar Red Scare, relating these mindsets to other waves
of domestic persecution Includes 12 relevant historic documents
such as the Truman Loyalty Oaths; a transcript of McCarthy's speech
in Wheeling, West Virginia; McCarthy's attacks on Acheson and
Marshall; Margaret Chase Smith's Statement on Conscience; and the
Senate's censure of McCarthy Provides information on the First Red
Scare and the emergence of the American fear of the Left and the
potential for a revolution Includes 11 short biographies of primary
individuals associated with McCarthyism and the Red Scare Presents
a chronology of events that threatened or weakened individual
rights throughout the 20th century, with a specific focus on the
Red Scare periods of 1919-21 and 1945-57 An annotated bibliography
includes primary and secondary sources representing the most
significant contemporary and scholarly works on the topic

The Social Construction of Mental Illness and Its Implications for
Neuroplasticity examines how the current concept of mental illness
in society informs the dialogic skills and perspectives of
psychotherapists. The common interpretation of unconventional
behavior as a symptom of illness has marginalized the creative
class and deterred mental health professionals from developing the
skills and perspectives needed to empower their clients. Too often
the neuroplasticity of the human brain is ignored in favor of the
organizing metaphor of chemical imbalance which often results in
the relegation of clients' needs to the pharmaceutical industry.
Michael T. Walker encourages psychotherapists to evolve their
practice by considering the new information available in
neuroscience, psychotherapy outcome studies, and postmodern
psychotherapies.

Opportunities to "have your say," "get involved," and "join the
conversation" are everywhere in public life. From crowdsourcing and
town hall meetings to government experiments with social media,
participatory politics increasingly seem like a revolutionary
antidote to the decline of civic engagement and the thinning of the
contemporary public sphere. Many argue that, with new technologies,
flexible organizational cultures, and a supportive policymaking
context, we now hold the keys to large-scale democratic
revitalization. Democratizing Inequalities shows that the equation
may not be so simple. Modern societies face a variety of structural
problems that limit potentials for true democratization, as well as
vast inequalities in political action and voice that are not easily
resolved by participatory solutions. Popular participation may even
reinforce elite power in unexpected ways. Resisting an
oversimplified account of participation as empowerment, this
collection of essays brings together a diverse range of leading
scholars to reveal surprising insights into how dilemmas of the new
public participation play out in politics and organizations.
Through investigations including fights over the authenticity of
business-sponsored public participation, the surge of the Tea
Party, the role of corporations in electoral campaigns, and
participatory budgeting practices in Brazil, Democratizing
Inequalities seeks to refresh our understanding of public
participation and trace the reshaping of authority in today's
political environment.
The ACADEMY OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS (UK and Ireland Chapter)
Published in association with the UK and Ireland Chapter of the
Academy of International Business. This brand new edited collection
addresses the growing uncertainty and socio-economic challenges of
globalisation and its profound implications for the strategies and
operations of multinational enterprises (MNEs). Responding to the
new balance in international business, the authors offer valuable
insights into the co-evolutionary processes involved in
headquarters-subsidiary relationships, the need for novel
strategies by MNEs to retain competitive advantage, improve
performance and contribute to the global economy.
Originally published in 1910, this book contains a series of
lectures on the subject of electromagnetism, delivered by British
physicist and statistician Gilbert T. Walker, before the University
of Calcutta. Walker writes, 'The University of Calcutta did me the
honour early in 1908 to appoint me Reader, and asked me to deliver
a series of lectures upon some subject, preferably electrical,
which would be of use to the lecturers in the outlying colleges as
well as to the more advanced students in Calcutta'. Chapters are
detailed and broad in scope; chapter titles include, 'Vector
analysis', 'Applications of vectorial methods to magnetostatics'
and 'The electron theory of Lorentz applied to stationary media'.
These informative lectures capture the very vibrancy and dynamism
of the subject and explain the mathematics necessary for a full
understanding. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in electromagnetism, physics and the history of education.
Originally published in 1900, this book contains the text of the
Adams Prize-winning essay for 1899, which attempts to construct a
theory of the electromagnetic field 'consistent with the modern
interpretation of chemical, optical and magnetic phenomena in terms
of electrically charged particles'. Walker became an expert on the
science of climate and was knighted in 1924, and this early essay
is a good example of his early interest in electromagnetism. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in
electromagnetism or the early work of Sir Gilbert Walker.
Although 'grassroots' conjures up images of independent citizen
organizing, much mass participation today is sponsored by elite
consultants working for corporations and powerful interest groups.
This book pulls back the curtain to reveal a lucrative industry of
consulting firms that incentivize public activism as a marketable
service. Edward Walker illustrates how, spurred by the post-sixties
advocacy explosion and rising business political engagement, elite
consultants have deployed new technologies to commercialize mass
participation. Using evidence from interviews, surveys and public
records, Grassroots for Hire paints a detailed portrait of these
consultants and their clients. Today, Fortune 500 firms hire them
to counter-mobilize against regulation, protest or controversy.
Ironically, some advocacy groups now outsource organizing to them.
Walker also finds that consultants are reshaping both participation
and policymaking, but unethical 'astroturf' strategies are often
ineffective. This pathbreaking book calls for a rethinking of
interactions between corporations, advocacy groups, and elites in
politics.
