Covenant Documents: Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, 2nd ed.
No full textIn Covenant Documents: Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Wayne Brouwer helps us peek behind the familiar pages and find historical, literary and contextual information that bring new vibrancy to old words. Beginning with the premise that the internal testimony of the Bible’s earliest chapters assumes a formative event between Israel and its God, Brouwer shows how the various writings fit patterns of ancient covenant documents. Launching from this fascinating history, the text provides background information, literary structure and style, and cultural dynamics that enliven the reading and rereading of the most famous book in the world. Part introduction, part overview, part handbook, Covenant Documents serves as a great textbook for introductory courses in biblical literature and Christian doctrine. It also functions as a sourcebook for pastors and teachers, and even a guide for Bible study groups
Where Do Economists of Faith Hang Out? Their Journals and Associations, plus Luminaries Among Them
No full textMany economists who are religious find ways to interact with each other through associations, journals, and institutes. Often, these organizations encourage participants to explore potential connections between their faith and their profession. The networks are, however, somewhat hidden to the average economist. In this exploratory paper, I locate networks that identify their constituency as Jewish, Christian, or Muslim economists, as well as those that are more religiously inclusive. I provide basic information about their economic perspectives and religious affiliations or suppositions. The second task is to determine who among religious economists are making the greatest contributions, to the dialogue of faith and economics and to the profession of economics as a whole. Both the first and second tasks are complicated by the fact that many economists who are religious do not identify themselves as such in their writing. Nevertheless, this process of discovery turns up some fascinating names and issues, many of which are explicitly explored in the rest of this symposium
Work-Family Conflict: The Effects of Religious Context on Married Women’s Participation in the Labor Force
Get PDFPast work shows religion’s effect on women’s career decisions, particularly when these decisions involve work-family conflict. This study argues that the religious context of a geographic area also influences women’s solutions to work-family conflict through more or less pervasive normative expectations within the community regarding women’s roles and responsibilities to the family. We use the American Community Survey linked with community-level religious proportions to test the relationship between religious contexts and women’s participation in the labor force in the contiguous United States–2054 census geographic areas. Using spatial analysis, we find that community religious concentration is related to the proportion of women who choose not to work. Communities with a higher proportion of the population belonging to conservative religious traditions also have a greater proportion of married women choosing not to work outside the home
Curiosité Gastronomique Et Cuisine Exotique Dans L\u27entre-deux-guerres Une Histoire De Goût Et De Dégoût
No full textÀ partir de 1890, plusieurs revues de recettes de cuisine commencèrent à évoquer les habitudes culinaires des peuples colonisés. Les articles et recettes naviguèrent sans cesse entre deux pôles. Le plus puissant consistait à susciter une forme de dégoût chez le lecteur, fondant ainsi un sentiment d’altérité et de supériorité vis-à-vis de populations présentées comme primitives car mangeant du chien, des insectes ou des aliments avariés. Mais parallèlement, il existait un exotisme acceptable, non transgressif, lié à la consommation de fruits tropicaux ou de plats au curry, qui trouvèrent alors leur place dans la cuisine bourgeoise de l’entre-deux-guerres
