No Explanations: Hemingway on the Making of Decisions
No full textThroughout his literary career, Ernest Hemingway shows characters making fateful decisions. But, at the same time, he is careful not to imply or account for how these decisions come about. His narrators and protagonists-Frederic Henry, Jake Barnes, Robert Jordan, and others-make life-defining choices but do not realize how momentous these are until much later. About the process (if there is one) by which they make the decisions that determine the course of their lives, Hemingway is silent. For their, and, by implication, our own decisions, there is, in Hemingway\u27s view, no explanation
Parodies of Six-Word Stories: A Comic Literary Metagenre
No full textCiting Hemingway\u27s incorrectly attributed baby shoes as the prototype of the six-word story, Fishelov situates parodies of six-word stories within their generic, metageneric, and parodic contexts. Fishelov identifies central characteristics of the form and discusses how these elements combine in dozens of story examples (e.g., For sale. BMW. Blinkers never used. ). Notes that knowledge of the genre and baby shoes story is vital for fully appreciating the humor of some parodies, which he suggests attests to the mini-genre\u27s growing popularity and range
Authority in the Community of Believers
Get PDFThe question of who holds authority in the community of believers, or the church, is the most divisive issue in Christianity. “Authority” in this sense includes both the authority to discipline members of the church (including authority to excommunicate) and authority over what is taught (doctrine) in the church.

How Deification Became Eastern: German Idealism, Liberal Protestantism, and the Modern Misconstruction of the Doctrine
No full textThis article develops an original account of the rise of the modern misperception of deification as an exclusively Eastern Christian doctrine antithetical to Western theology. The study argues that the origins of the misconstruction lie in the distorting influence of German Idealism on the seminal treatment of the doctrine advanced by Ferdinand Christian Baur. With Idealist categories shaping his retrieval, Baur inaccurately portrays ancient Christian figures as advocating an automatic, mechanical deification of humanity as a whole that leaves the individual no role to play in his or her salvation. Such a view of deification as a mechanical, “physical” process is the precise basis on which Baur’s student Albrecht Ritschl and those in his school influentially claim it has no place in Western theology. The antecedent condition for deification coming to be characterized as Eastern, then, is it being understood as “physical,” and it is Baur who is ultimately responsible for Ritschl so viewing the doctrine. Baur’s Idealist‐inspired retrieval thus raises a mistaken understanding of deification to prominence in the modern period, resulting in misunderstandings of the doctrine that persist down to the present day

No full textCaring for a Child with a Disability in a Zambian Community: A Study Using Photo-Elicitation
No full textBackground: Over the past 25 years, caregivers of children with disabilities (CWD) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) have received limited attention from researchers. Previous research identified the physical, emotional, and social challenges of caregiving in resource-limited areas. Researchers also identified protective factors, such as problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping. This study seeks to explore experiences of caregivers of CWD through participant-driven photo-elicitation, in a low-income subdistrict of Lusaka, Zambia. Methods: Researchers considered the experiences of caregivers providing support to their children with disabilities (CWD). Ten parent participants completed this qualitative study using photo-elicitation. Parent participants completed an individual interview to describe their experiences reflected in the pictures they took. The research team used qualitative content analysis to identify the themes. Results: Five general themes emerged from the data. The last two themes, “Also, a human being,” and “The community should learn,” are unique in research of CWD caregivers in LMIC settings. It indicates ways that these parents sought to encourage more inclusion and acceptance of their CWD in the community and to speak to other parents who might be struggling with providing care for their CWD. Conclusions: This study expanded disability research to include perspectives from a low-income area in Lusaka, Zambia. In doing so, we acquire a new viewpoint and enhanced understanding of their community experiences. Practice considerations include encouraging disability advocates to continue their work of educating the community about the inherent dignity and worth of people with disabilities and supporting CWD\u27s rights
The Practices of Catholic Intellectual Tradition
No full textIn this paper, the author focuses on one aspect of Catholic Intellectual Tradition, namely, how it manifests in practice. Focusing on five such practices — responsiveness to other traditions within Catholicism, recognition of wisdom and truth that may be found in other cultures, the search for understanding of relationships within reality, promotion of personal transformation in the service of the common good, and the centrality of reflection and contemplation — he argues that Catholic colleges and universities ought to nurture and reflect these practices throughout the whole of their work
