Intersectionality in family therapy leadership : professional power, personal identities
No full textThis brief examines the ways in which sociocultural characteristics and contexts intersect to create varying dimensions of social advantage and inequality that, in turn, affect and organize professional relationships in educational and therapeutic settings. It explores how inherently hierarchical relationships develop within educational and university contexts, including between professors and students, supervisors and supervisees, clinicians and clients, and administrators and faculty members. The volume addresses how participants’ social locations inform their roles and actions and how they can hold positions of power while also embodying a marginalized identities.In addition, the book draws on perspectives of persons marginalized or privileged based on their race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and/or gender to examine how social location impacts their work as family therapy clinicians, supervisors, instructors, and administrators. Grounded in individual reflection and detailed experiences, each chapter describes rich personal narrative on how the individual therapist’s intersecting social locations influence his/her professional relationships. This book highlights the need for family therapists to identify their social location characteristics, evaluate the impact of their social location on their professional relationships, and process the role social location has on their academic, supervisory and clinical position. This volume is an essential resource for clinicians and practitioners, researchers and professors, and graduate students in family studies, clinical psychology, and public health as well as all interrelated disciplines.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1505/thumbnail.jp

A Bachs of Suites: 60 Solos and Duets for Low Brass
No full textA Bachs of Suites is a notable addition to low brass study and performance literature. Composer and educator Robert Denham demonstrates his affinity for Johann Sebastian Bach’s music in characteristically written solos and duets. His music is inventive and fun to play. Dr. Jeff Baker’s editing sensibly illuminates Mr. Denham’s voice. Denham’s accompanying performance notes easily describe the Renaissance and Baroque source material informing each composition. I enthusiastically recommend Robert Denham’s Bach of Suites to motivated players seeking to - further develop their musicianship.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1590/thumbnail.jp
Where Prayer Becomes Real: How Honesty with God Transforms Your Soul
No full textIf we\u27re honest, most of us feel bored, distracted, or discouraged in prayer. We look for resources to give us the right words or teach us the right technique and are disappointed when they don\u27t seem to help. What we fail to realize is that prayer isn\u27t a place for us to be good or right, and it isn\u27t a place for us to perform or prove our worth. It\u27s a place for us to be honest, present, and known--a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God. Spiritual formation experts Kyle Strobel and John Coe want to show you what you\u27ve been missing when it comes to prayer. In this down-to-earth book, they show you how to fearlessly draw near to a holy God, pray without ceasing (and without posturing), and delight in the experience of being fully known and fully loved. Each chapter ends with prayer projects or practices to help you see a difference in your prayer life, starting now.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1529/thumbnail.jp
Direct and Indirect Impact of Institutional Logics of Civil Liberties and Religion on Social Enterprises
No full textThis paper theorises how the institutional logics of civil liberties and religion shape the social value creation outcome of social enterprises (SEs). While the study found that both logics of civil liberties and religion directly affect SEs’ work, they also interact with the degree of rationalisation in SEs and jointly influence their social value creation outcome. The hypotheses are tested using a unique dataset of 119 faith-based international SEs. The findings show that the demands of institutional logics are moderated by the rationalised management practices of SEs and shape how they respond to the multifaceted institutional pressures
Fountain of Salvation: Trinity and Soteriology
No full textA trinitarian exposition of Christian soteriology
The relation of God and salvation is not primarily a problem to be solved. Rather, it is the blazing core of Christian doctrine, where the triune nature of God and the truth of the gospel come together.
Accordingly, a healthy Christian theology must confess the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of salvation as closely related, mutually illuminating, and strictly ordered. When the two doctrines are left unconnected, both suffer. The doctrine of the Trinity begins to seem altogether irrelevant to salvation history and Christian experience, while soteriology meanwhile becomes naturalized, losing its transcendent reference. If they are connected too tightly, on the other hand, human salvation seems inherent to the divine reality itself. Deftly navigating this tension, Fountain of Salvation relates them by expounding the doctrine of eternal processions and temporal missions, ultimately showing how they inherently belong together. The theological vision expounded here by Fred Sanders is one in which the holy Trinity is the source of salvation in a direct and personal way, as the Father sends the Son and the Holy Spirit to enact an economy of revelation and redemption. Individual chapters show how this vision informs the doctrines of atonement, ecclesiology, Christology, and pneumatology—all while directly engaging with major modern interpreters of the doctrine of the Trinity. As Sanders affirms throughout this in-depth theological treatise, the triune God is the fountain from which all other doctrine flows—and no understanding of salvation is complete that does not begin there.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1546/thumbnail.jp
Gratitude to God: Jonathan Edwards and the Opening of the Self
No full textThe study of gratitude has become an increasingly important topic among psychologists to address the nature of human flourishing. Of more recent interest is how gratitude to God specifically functions within an account of human flourishing, with theologians seeking to provide a distinctively Christian account of the nature of gratitude. This article enters into the ongoing conversation by attending to Jonathan Edwards’s theological anthropology and development of natural and supernatural gratitude. In particular, Edwards’s anthropology includes within it an account of how the self can, and should, enlarge to receive another in love. This “enlargement” is the creaturely mirror of God’s self-giving and is the supernatural response to the creature who has received God’s grace and been infused with divine love. As a supernatural response based on God’s action in the soul, this account of gratitude differs from its natural counterpart. On Edwards’s account, therefore, there is a need to develop studies that differentiate natural and supernatural gratitude. Furthermore, this article ends with a suggestion for a study that could pick up this task based on recent psychological studies that attend to how gratitude affects self-relation. On Edwards’s account of the enlargement of the self, as well as his notion of supernatural gratitude, there is meaningful research to be done on how these can help assess development in the formation of gratitude and human flourishing
Scientist\u27s perspective on disease and death
No full textChapter 15 p. 156+
In a suffering world reeling from global pandemics and health disparities, it is high time to think theologically about the devastating experience of disease, and to address our God-inspired responsibility to understand its origins and engage in its management. In a fragmented world, we need a unifying and integrated perspective on people in communities embedded in a fractured ecology. In an academic world blind to the spiritual world and imbalanced toward technical solutions, the global church must articulate a contemporary metanarrative that is moral, practical, and deeply transformational. All Creation Groans brings together multiple perspectives for a compelling global-health approach to the pathologies of the world as a part of the missio Dei. The authors paint a unifying perspective on God’s healing intentions in creation, redemption, and consummation, and the opposing nature-corrupting effects of the rebellion of created moral agents. It is a fresh call for the global church to engage in aligning with God’s healing action for eternally sustainable global health
Leveraging Technology in Leadership Communication
No full textTaking a close look at how digital media can elevate or diminish a leader’s influence, this book provides a framework to guide organizational leaders’ selection and application of digital tools in communication with stakeholders.
Through a media ecology approach, the book begins by exploring the transitions in technology over the course of human history that resulted in today’s digital communication environment. It builds on this understanding to examine the value leadership communication provides to engage employees and drive organizational objectives internally, while also highlighting the value of leaders’ external stakeholder communication using tools such as social media or websites to elevate credibility. It examines various challenges to give a realistic assessment of how leaders can navigate digital communication successfully to thrive personally and professionally. Finally, the book explores an often-missed dimension of leadership communication: followers. Using the ethicality of leadership and the role of followers, it concludes by examining guiding values for leadership communication in the digital age as well as forecasting future trends that will shape leaders’ communication.
The book is intended as supplementary reading in organizational, leadership, corporate, and internal communication courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.https://digitalcommons.biola.edu/faculty-books/1589/thumbnail.jp
