Many current assessment practices highlight individual achievement rather than ongoing and relational learning. This article suggests using a Learning Wheel as a tool to engage students in conversation about learning and assessment. The purpose of assessment would be to inform students’ learning. The goal of learning would in turn equip students to be mindful of learning that engages in real-world issues to partner in God’s redemptive work.</span></p></div>admin1http://www.blogger.com/profile/16479743334126277132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031761194557379478.post-47637947091137368972024-02-08T13:17:00.002-05:002024-02-08T13:17:55.925-05:00Encouraging Faith Manifestoes for People with Open Ears: Biblical Narrative History<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://paideiapressorders.com/products/encouraging-faith-manifestoes-for-people-with-open-ears-biblical-narrative-history-1?_pos=10&_sid=c0baa1a64&_ss=r" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1274" data-original-width="823" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif9jAqs9Ob4yPmFeBAD4hgyj284mvkbsRmcEkXREaDJsNHfGxqrgsOfKtIIMa_-NmOzjZCc_hYCnfodxA1IberLegiHV7Yr9K0dm2QVAn59D4pCBQppTiFQ_unKj1snPiEAVs_Hcmm9RK5mkHDW77_-nN7tBp6kQyARfbtgHR6KF1TeckB-rw_j8HduLg/s320/Screen%20Shot%202024-02-07%20at%202.31.29%20PM.png" width="207" /></a></i></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><b style="font-style: italic;">Encouraging Faith Manifestoes for People with Open Ears: Biblical Narrative History</b><span><i style="font-weight: bold;">. </i>In </span><span><i>Tough Stuff from the Bible, Tendered Gently</i> series (Vol. 1).<b style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 400;"> </b><b>By </b></span></span><a href="https://faculty.icscanada.edu/cseerveld" target="_blank"><b>Calvin G.

Yet he never spells out what it is. Through close readings of <i>Negative Dialectics, Aesthetic Theory</i>, and related course lectures, Lambert Zuidervaart reconstructs Adorno's conception of truth, contrasts it with the conceptions of Martin Heidegger and Michel Foucault, and explores its relevance for contemporary philosophy, art, and politics. Adorno regards truth as a dynamic constellation in which various dialectical polarities intersect. The most decisive polarity, Zuidervaart argues, occurs between society as it has developed and the historical possibility of a completely transformed world. Critically reconstructed, Adorno's conception of truth can help inspire hopeful critiques of an allegedly post-truth society.<br /><br /><br /><b>Review of the Book:</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><i>Zuidervaart, who already published numerable books on critical theory in general and Adorno in particular, again shows himself to be an excellent and critical reader of Adorno. The greatest strength of </i>Adorno, Heidegger, and the Politics of Truth<i> is that it offers an in-depth study of Adorno's concept of truth, based on a thorough reading and understanding, and an original and critical interpretation of Adorno's work. It also surpasses that in demonstrating the need for a conception of 'truth as a whole' beyond propositional truth, and the need to link the concept of truth to social critique and social hope. All this makes this book a must-read for Adorno scholars.</i></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: medium;">— Thijs Lijster, author of <i>Benjamin and Adorno on Art and Art Criticism: Critique of Art</i></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Table of Contents:<br /></span></b><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">1.

Throughout the volume, there is extensive engagement with Sweetman's influential historical scholarship on topics such as the emergence and development of the Dominican order in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, medieval women authors, Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus, and indeed on Sweetman's own systematic contribution to the nature and promise of Christian scholarship today.</span></div></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Praise for <i>Gestures of Grace:</i></b></span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px;">“Joshua Lee Harris and Héctor A.

This volume presents an original collection of scholarship bringing together scholars of the Frankfurt School and feminist scholars. Essays included in the volume explore ideas from the early Frankfurt School that were explicitly focused on sex, gender, and sexuality, and bring ideas from the early Frankfurt School into productive dialogue with historical and contemporary feminist theory. Ranging across philosophy, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, science studies, and cultural studies, the essays investigate heteropatriarchy, essentialism, identity, intersectional feminism, and liberation. Set against an alarming context of growing gender and related forms of authoritarianism, this timely volume demonstrates the necessity of thinking these powerhouse approaches together in a united front. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Chapter Opening:</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"So far as we know, Theodor Adorno (1903–1969) and Michel Foucault (1926–1984) never met. Nor, for the most part, did they read each other’s work. Yet their critiques of Western society are strikingly similar—so similar, in fact, that they have drawn comparable criticisms from Jürgen Habermas and Axel Honneth. They have also received analogous defenses from feminist Critical Theorists, such as Amy Allen and Deborah Cook, who challenge Habermas and Honneth’s criticisms."

This collection remedies this by taking practice and embodied action seriously as fundamental elements of any philosophy of religion.<br /><br />Emerging and established voices across different philosophical traditions come together to consider religious actions, including public worship, from perspectives such as trauma and social ontology, sound and silence, and knowledge and hope. Embodied religious practice is viewed through the lens of liturgy, intrinsically connecting religious rituals to human existence to show clearly that, no matter where one finds oneself in terms of the so-called 'analytic-continental' divide, philosophy of religion must be concerned with more than just beliefs if it is to adequately deal with the subject matter of 'religion.'<br /><br />The purpose of these studies is not to reject what has gone before but to expand the focus of philosophy of religion. This approach lays the groundwork for investigations into how beliefs are situated in our theological, moral, and social frameworks. For any philosophy of religion student or scholar interested in how thinking and living well are intimately related, this is a go-to resource. It takes seriously the importance of historical religious traditions and communities, opening the space for cross-cultural and interdisciplinary debates.<br /><br /><br /><b>Table of Contents<br /></b><br /><b>Part I: On Spiritual Practice</b><br /></span></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>1.</b> <i>Clare Carlisle </i>– “What is Spiritual Practice” </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>2.</b> <i>Christina M.

Weaving together analytic and continental, as well as non-western and historical philosophical perspectives, this volume explores the nexus of gratitude, existence and God as an inter-subjective phenomenon for the first time.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">A team of leading scholars introduce existential gratitude as a perennially and characteristically human phenomenon, central to the distinctive life of our species. Attention is given to the conditions under which existence itself might be construed as having a gift-like or otherwise gratitude-inducing character.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Drawing on a diversity of perspectives, chapters mark out new territory in philosophical inquiry, addressing whether and in what sense we ought to be grateful for our very existence.

In response, this book presents a new conception of truth. It recognizes that prominent philosophers have questioned whether the idea of truth is important. Some have asked why we even need it. Their questions reinforce broader trends in Western society, where many wonder whether or why we should pursue truth. Indeed, some pundits say we have become a "post-truth" society. Yet there are good reasons not to embrace the cultural <i>Zeitgeist</i> or go with the philosophical flow, reasons to regard truth as a substantive and socially significant idea.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">This book explains why. First it argues that propositional truth is only one kind of truth—an important kind, but not all important. Then it shows how propositional truth belongs to the more comprehensive process of truth as a whole. This process is a dynamic correlation between human fidelity to societal principles and a life-giving disclosure of society. The correlation comes to expression in distinct social domains of truth, where either propositional or nonpropositional truth is primary. The final chapters lay out five such domains: science, politics, art, religion, and philosophy.

Are politics inherently false? Is the search for truth still relevant?</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Shattering Silos,</i> a companion volume to <i>Religion, Truth, and Social Transformation</i> and <i>Art, Education, and Cultural Renewal, </i>provides a path-breaking response. As in his two previous books, Lambert Zuidervaart challenges the boundaries philosophers set up between epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. Knowledge, he argues, takes different forms in various social domains, and all are subject to political struggle. A critique of contemporary society must draw on many social domains of knowledge, including the arts and religion, and should recast politics as a striving for truth in the broadest sense. Proposing a new conception of truth - one that emphasizes the unity of knowledge and truth, as well as their diversity among different social domains - Zuidervaart asks what such holism and pluralism suggest about how we understand politics and society. This book proposes a new understanding of large-scale social change, challenging how most people think about knowledge and truth.</div><div><br /></div><div>Interweaving epistemology, social criticism, and political thought, <i>Shattering Silos</i> aims to help redirect an allegedly post-truth society.</div><p></p>admin1http://www.blogger.com/profile/16479743334126277132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031761194557379478.post-14609521432776148352022-06-15T10:54:00.006-04:002023-12-04T11:02:05.469-05:00Dancing in the Wild Spaces of Love: A Theopoetics of Gift and Call<p><i></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://wipfandstock.com/9781666737929/dancing-in-the-wild-spaces-of-love/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1802" data-original-width="1191" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicD5Di_NWshehSvqolLbhJs_V8st2WviCOuqiGwlvXAvE12h_uBnYBV-H-g2tiCc7prcMQQ2V4ZAXtHCW_R-LUtRYrypiaEzUh9cNgFWmYYAbvZtvVAfCpJWp3d_KB1c6nYCPvZylduyrLirZSXb3HQtPcz8OHyC3KruQ4E5Fj7JtsxiFWTrSO_r3-/s320/Olthuis-fnl.png" width="211" /></a></i></div><i>Dancing in the Wild Spaces of Love: A Theopoetics of Gift and Call. </i><a href="https://www.icscanada.edu/research/book-series">Currents in Reformational Thought series.</a> <a href="https://faculty.icscanada.edu/jolthuis" target="_blank"><b>James H.

Drawing on decades of research in postmodern philosophy and experience as a psychotherapist, James H. Olthuis wades into this discussion to propose a radical ontology of Love without metaphysics. In dialogue with philosophers like John D. Caputo, Slavoj Žižek, Luce Irigaray, and others, Olthuis explores issues from divine sovereignty and the problem of evil to trauma and social ethics. Experience in therapeutic work informs these investigations, rooting them in journeys with individuals on the path to healing. Olthuis makes the bold claim that while trauma, pain, and suffering are significant parts of our human lives, nevertheless Love is with us to the very end. Creation is a gift that comes with a call to make something of it ourselves, a risky task we must take on with the promise that Love will win. We are all dancing in the wild spaces of Love: ex amore, cum amore, ad amorem.</div>admin1http://www.blogger.com/profile/16479743334126277132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031761194557379478.post-7900617576585193592022-06-14T10:55:00.004-04:002023-12-04T11:02:17.226-05:00Post-Truth?

Eschewing the kind of easy responses that trade pluralistic solidarity for tribalistic certainty, Dudiak diagnoses a deeper breakdown in social trust as the underlying issue that has everyone today scurrying for comforting, ideological cover. In this context, Dudiak reminds the reader that truth is more, and runs deeper, than simple correspondence to the facts.</p>admin1http://www.blogger.com/profile/16479743334126277132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031761194557379478.post-26004631784576782142021-08-06T11:36:00.003-04:002023-12-04T11:02:31.968-05:00Seeking Stillness or The Sound of Wings: Scholarly and Artistic Comment on Art, Truth, and Society in Honour of Lambert Zuidervaart<i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://wipfandstock.com/9781725295704/seeking-stillness-or-the-sound-of-wings/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Seeking Stillness or The Sound of Wings: Scholarly and Artistic Comment on Art, Truth, and Society in Honour of Lambert Zuidervaart.

Zuidervaart is an internationally recognized expert in critical theory, especially the work of Theodor Adorno, and a leading systematic philosopher in the reformational tradition. His research and teaching range across continental philosophy, epistemology, social philosophy, and philosophy of art, with an emphasis on Kant, Hegel, Marx, Heidegger, Gadamer, and Habermas. He is currently developing a new conception of truth for an allegedly post-truth society. At the Institute for Christian Studies (2002-2016), Zuidervaart held the Herman Dooyeweerd Chair in Social and Political Philosophy and served as founding Director of the Centre for Philosophy, Religion, and Social Ethics. He was also an Associate Member of the Graduate Faculty and Full Professor, status only, in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto, and a member of the Advanced Degree Faculty at the Toronto School of Theology. Zuidervaart is currently a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. <i>Seeking Stillness or The Sound of Wings</i> seeks to promote new scholarship emerging from the rich and dynamic tradition of reformational intellectual inquiry. Believing that all scholarly endeavor is rooted in and oriented by deep spiritual commitments, reformational scholarship seeks to add its unique Christian voice to discussions about leading questions of life and society.

Early on the First Nations of Canada experienced the denial and suppression of their right to freedom of religion or belief. Traditional spiritual and religious ceremonies were banned and suppressed, while the Indian residential school system was designed to replace their own identity with another one. Despite long-standing legal protections for religious freedom reaching back to the Quebec Act of 1774 through to the 1982 Charter, this right continues to be debated in public and contested in court. Furthermore, new challenges are emerging from social media and other on-line platforms, which propagates hatred and prejudice that can generate real-world violence and persecution.</div><div><br /></div><div>What role does protection for freedom of religion or belief play in fostering social understanding in a diverse Canadian society, in fostering reconciliation? To what extent does this freedom extend to protections for organizations, institutions, or even the natural environment? What new and old challenges are facing traditional, religious, spiritual and other communities as they seek to exercise these rights? How should we respond to the growth of religion- based prejudice in Canadian society, especially as it affects Indigenous and minority populations?</div></blockquote><div><br /></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><b>Panelists:</b></div><div><i>Professor Lori Beaman (Professor, University of Ottawa)</i></div><div><i>Bishop Bruce Myers (Bishop of Quebec, Anglican Church of Canada)</i></div><div><i>Rabbi Reuben Poupko (Co-Chair, Canadian Rabbinic Caucus)</i></div></blockquote><div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b>PANEL 2: <i>Building Social Solidarity </i>(3:00 - 4:30pm EDT)</b></div><div><br /></div></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div>It seems that almost every social cleavage in Canada is deepening under the pressures of a divisive political discourse.

The majority of Dr. Bowers Du Toit's research has focused on the intersection between religion, poverty, and inequality, with a special focus on the role of local congregations and Faith Based Organisations in addressing these pressing concerns within the South African context. In her opening presentation, Dr. Bowers Du Toit will share with us her most recent research on Christian youth and inequality in post-Apartheid South Africa.<br /><br />In keeping with our current institutional focus on race relations and systemic racism, we have invited Dr. Bowers Du Toit to offer her insights into the ways in which Christianity-–and in particular biblical interpretation–is shaping the responses of South Africa youth to issues of inequality, marginalization, and violence. We are thrilled that Dr. Bowers Du Toit has agreed to join us, and we look forward to reflecting with her on these community-driven, scripturally-informed responses to systemic oppression.<div><br /></div><div>This event is sponsored by the Centre for Philosophy, Religion, and Social Ethics. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">* * *</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Join Zoom Meeting Here:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85128365893" target="_blank">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85128365893</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Meeting ID: </b>851 2836 5893</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Find your local number:</b> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kOEpK9p6N" target="_blank">https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kOEpK9p6N</a></div></div></div></div>admin1http://www.blogger.com/profile/16479743334126277132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031761194557379478.post-54303215548353588152021-02-25T16:45:00.002-05:002021-03-16T16:50:40.332-04:00Call For Papers: Christian Left Conference Cohosted by CPRSE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDQD7-AzuOh5cB2LarJeOjHK2YVn7bXgRp7tvvvnMheUIP146h5R8mAGMM_b69lxvgpiKQQDyHLZyjhTK906y-YaeFzY4BD6mcfI8LN-BvSw83arApLa3gl0K_wIUkHFsNqfXj2nIeTMEF/s2048/Christian+Left+CFP+Poster+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDQD7-AzuOh5cB2LarJeOjHK2YVn7bXgRp7tvvvnMheUIP146h5R8mAGMM_b69lxvgpiKQQDyHLZyjhTK906y-YaeFzY4BD6mcfI8LN-BvSw83arApLa3gl0K_wIUkHFsNqfXj2nIeTMEF/w400-h266/Christian+Left+CFP+Poster+%25281%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>ICS's Centre for Philosophy, Religion, and Social Ethics is joining Emmanuel College’s <a href="https://www.emmanuel.utoronto.ca/the-centre-for-religion-and-its-contexts/continuing-education-events-and-courses/">Centre for Religion and Its Contexts</a>, <a href="https://www.trinitystpauls.ca/">Trinity St. Paul's United Church</a>, and the <a href="https://uwaterloo.ca/toronto-mennonite-theological-centre/">Toronto Mennonite Theological Centre</a> to host the second <i>Christian Left Conference </i>(free and online) on July 23-24, 2021.

Who is included under the label the Christian Left? In the last decades, the Christian left has been undergoing enormous reconfiguration: new actors, issues, and concerns have uncovered the colonial underbelly of the Christian Left. From the Suffrage movements through to the Social Gospel, and continuing through liberation theologies and political theologies to today, these reconfigurations have included an emergence of different approaches to reading the Bible, the articulation of alternative approaches to theology and ethics, and the crossing of disciplinary boundaries. These various actors have complexified idealized notions of the Christian Left in Canada and across the globe, and invite us to critique and dismantle its colonizing features.<br /><br /><h4 style="text-align: center;">Call for Papers</h4><br />The <i>Christian Left Conference</i> invites proposals that intentionally reflect on the emergence of historical “new” actors and voices in the Christian Left. Proposals can be related to (re)tracing the historical, theological and biblical-hermeneutical developments of the Christian Left and its present disciplinary reorientation. Topics related to the interconnection between social movements and actors, the disciplinary cross-fertilization on the areas of interreligious collaboration, the dismantling of traditional canons of theology and biblical hermeneutics, and the reconceptualization of the human experience are especially welcome.</div><div><br /></div><div>This conference is interdisciplinary and welcomes papers from many fields, primarily theological studies, biblical interpretation, preaching and worship, congregational and community ministry, history, ethics and political theology, as well as religious studies, sociology, anthropology, literary studies, philosophy and the humanities broadly understood. Papers engaging with Canadian contexts are particularly encouraged; we also welcome papers from across the world.<br /><br /><h4 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bit.ly/cfpchristianleft2021">Proposals are due March 19, 2021 and can be submitted online here:</a><br /><a href="https://bit.ly/cfpchristianleft2021">https://bit.ly/cfpchristianleft2021</a></h4><div><br /></div>If you have any questions, please email: <a href="mailto:ec.events@utoronto.ca?subject=What%20is%20the%20Christian%20Left%3F%20Paper%20Proposal">ec.events@utoronto.ca</a>.</div></div>admin1http://www.blogger.com/profile/16479743334126277132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031761194557379478.post-29150625517730919202021-01-31T11:07:00.000-05:002021-08-06T11:07:51.832-04:00To Sing Once More: Sorrow, Joy, and the Dog I Loved<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://wipfandstock.com/9781725285682/to-sing-once-more/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="To Sing Once More: Sorrow, Joy, and the Dog I Loved, by Lambert Zuidervaart with cover photo of Zuidervaart's golden retriever, Hannah" border="0" data-original-height="447" data-original-width="298" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfAs7Ly8KO0zaHy08JWKZ9CvH7r1pAyfUXk4OMPdNP8l9qNHmeiz0KhEemAjT9OmHmvroXY_aInuW7z5ys3Q-3n9JzJ_feYmHTXHhFRT6nPoyJY_E_lENB9sc5kYjsCUkEORtq9uNaOY/w213-h320/tsom.jpeg" width="213" /></a></div><i>To Sing Once More: Sorrow, Joy, and the Dog I Loved</i>. <a href="http://faculty.icscanada.edu/lzuidervaart" target="_blank"><b>Lambert Zuidervaart</b></a>.

How do we prepare when their all-too-short lives near an end? How do we grieve their passing and take joy in their memory? This memoir celebrates the life of a beautiful Golden Retriever named Hannah Estelle. It tells how, at a time of deep sadness, Hannah's puppy presence helped the author learn to sing again; how, as he became an accomplished vocalist, her faithful friendship brought grace and joy; and how, during the cancer-wracked months that ended her life, his singing to Hannah helped her departure. Woven around texts from poignant songs, the book speaks of loss and love, of sorrow and joy, of suffering and hope. Each chapter is a dog song, inspired by the canine companion it is about, and songlike in its own aspiration.

After a succinct introduction there are four sections. The editors and Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin explicate the roots of the Calvinian faith-thought tradition toward the arts found in Jean Calvin, Abraham Kuyper, and Dooyeweerd. Then Hans Rookmaaker, E. John Walford and James Romaine exemplify how art history can be done in a perspective sensitive to a Christian world-and-life vision. Calvin Seerveld, Nicholas Wolterstorff, Lambert Zuidervaart, and Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin show how their communal focus on aesthetic theory can contribute to understanding imaginative and artistic realities. Finally the "theology of art" tack is introduced by Wessel Stoker, William Edgar, and Victoria Emily Jones. The many colour reproductions are of excellent quality, the notes are substantial, and various of the authors take issue with the characteristic ideas of the other writers for a lively, open-ended, up to date introduction to the important contribution made by thinkers regarding art and aesthetics in the line of Reformational Christian philosophical reflection.<div style="text-align: right;"><i>— Calvin G.

He engages ethics from contextual, liberationist, intercultural, and post/decolonial perspectives. He explores the ethical implications of religious/theological debates, and how these shape concrete social structures and notions of ethnoracial and cultural identity. He also studies how lived religious experiences shape/transform people’s understandings of ethics on the ground, especially reflecting from Latina/o/x (Canadian and USA), Latin American, and Latina/o Pentecostal perspectives. For the last 10 years, he has been studying the ethical implications of interethnic and intercultural relations particularly in connection with indigenous communities in Canada and Latin America. He is the author of <i>Mestizaje: (Re)Mapping ‘Race,’ Culture, and Faith in Latina/o Catholicism </i>(Orbis, 2009), a booklet <i>On the Doctrine of Discovery </i>(CCC, 2017), and his recent <i>Christianity, Empire and the Spirit</i> (Brill 2018).<br /><br />This event is sponsored by the Centre for Philosophy, Religion, and Social Ethics.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>admin1http://www.blogger.com/profile/16479743334126277132noreply@blogger.com
