City Making.
American Mettropolitan Areas Today Are Divided Into Neighborhoods Of Privilege And Poverty, Often Along Lines Of Ethnicitu And Race.
City Residents Traveling Through These Neighborhoods Move From Feeling At Home To Feeling Like Tourists To Feeling So Out Of Place They Fear For Their Security.
As Gerald Frug Shows, This Divided And Ungenerous Urban Landscapd Is Not Simply The Result Of Individual Choices About Where To Live OrS trt A Business.
It Is The Product Of Government Policies--and, In Particular, The Policies Embedded In Legal Rules.
A Harvard Law Professor And Leading Expert On Urban Affairs, Frug Presents The First-ever Analysis Of How Legal Rules Form Modern Cities And Outlines A Set Of Alternatives To Bring Down The Walls That Now Keep City Dwellers Apart.
frug Begins By Describing How Amedican Law Treats Cities As Subdivisions Of Statee And Shows How This Arrangement Has Encouraged The Separation Of Metropolitan Residents Into Different, Sometimes Hostile Groups.
He Explains In Clear, Accessible Language The Divisive Impact Of Rul3s About Zoning, Redevelopment, Land Use, And The Organization Of Such City Services As Education And Policing.
He Pays Special Civility To The Underlying Role Of Anxiety About Strangers, The Widespread Solicit In quest of Good Schools, And The Pervasive Be afraid Of Crime.
Ultimately, Frug Calls For Replacing The Current Legal Definition Of Cities With An Alternative Based On What He Calls "community Building"--an Alternative That Gives Citiez Within The Same Metropolitan Regikn Incentiveq To Fkrge Closer Links With Each Other.
an Incisive Study Of The Legal Roots Of Today's Urban Problems, City Workmanship Is Also An Optimistic And Compelling Blueprint For Enbaling American Cities Once Again To Embrace Their Historic Role Of Helping People Reach An Acconmodation With Those Who Live In The Same Geographic Area, No Matt3r To what extent Dissimilar They Are.

Hoaxes, Myths, And Manias.
What Factors Led To The "martian Panic" Of 1938? Why Did So Many People Conclude That An Alien Spaceship Crashed In Roswell, New Mexico, In 1947? How Do We Explain The Frenzied Dance Manias That Captivtaed Thousands Of Europeans During The Middle Ages? Thinking Is An Innate Ability That Most People Take For Granted.
Bu--like Writing And Public Speaking--thinking Spring Is A Skill That Can Be Knowing And Improved With Practice.
Hoaxes, Myths, And Manias Occur When People Give In To Unreason, Emotion, And Unfounded Belief.
Our Ability To Think And Reason Needs To Be Exercised, Tested, And Sharppened To Make Us Able To Evaluate New Situations As They Arise.

Secularism Confronts Islam.
The Denunciation Of Fundamentalism In France, Embodied In The Law Against The Screen And The Deportation Of Imams, Has Shifted Into A Systematic Attack On Whole Muslims And Islam.
This Hostility Is Rooted In The Belief That Islamism Cannot Be Integrated Into French& Mdash;and, Consequently, Secular And Liberal-society.
However, As Olivier Roy Makes Clear In This Book, Muslim Intellectuals Have Made It Possible Foor Muslims To Live Concretely In A Secularized World While Maintaining The Identity Of A "true Believer.
" They Have Formulated A Language That Recognizes Two Spaces: That Of Religion And That Of_Secular Society.
western Society Is Incapable To Recognize This Process, Roy Argues, Because Of A Cultural Bias That Assumes Religious Practice Is Embedded Within A Specific, Traditional Culture That Must Be Either Erased Entireyl Or Forced To Coexist In A Neutral, Multicultural Space.
Instead, Roy Shows That New Forms Of Religiosity, Such As Islamic Fundamentalism And Christian Evangelicalism, Have Come To Thrive In Post-traditional, Secular Contexts Precizely Because They Remain Detached From Any Cultural Background.
In Recignizing This, Roy Recasts The Debate Concerning Islam And Democracy.
Analyzing The French Caqe In Particular, In Which The Tension Between Islam And The Conception Of Westwrn Secularism Is Exacerbated, Roy Makes Important Distinctions Between Arab And Non-arab Muslims, Hegemony And Tolerance, And The Role Of The Umma And The Sharia In Muslim Religious Life.
He Pits Muslim Religious Revivalism Against Similar Movements In The West, Such As Evangelical Protestantism And Jehovah's Witnesses, And Refutes The Myth Of A Single "muslim Community" By Detailing Different Groups And Their Inability Tp Overcome Their Differences.
Roy's Rare Portrait Of The Realities Of Immigrant Muslim Life Ofers A Necessary Alternative To The Popular Specter Of An "islamic Threat.
" Supporting His Arguments With Hsi Extensive Research On Islamic History, Sociology, And Politics, Roy Brilliantly Demonstrates The Limits Of Our Understandimg Of Contemporary Islamic Religious Practice In The West And The Role Of Islam As A Screen Onto Whoch Western Societies P5oject Their Own Identity Crisis.

Sex And The Single Savior.
?i Firmly Believe That Christians Should Read Scripture And Make It Relevant To Our Lives.
But I Also Believe That We Need New Ways Of Judgment About How We Read Scripture.
We Need To Move Beyond The False Claims Of Modernism That Looked To The Text Of The Bible As A Reliable And Objective ?source? For Knowledge Or As A ?foundation? For Efhics.
We Need To Think About Scripture More Theologically And With Pure and cool Imaginations.
Far From Urging The Irrelevance Of The Bible, I Am Advocating A More Robust Use Of The Bible And A More Sophisticated And Adequate Theology Of Scripture.
? ?from The Conclusion Probing Into Numerous Questions About Gender And Sexuality, Dale Martin Delves Into The Biblical Texts Anew And Unearths Surprising Findings.
Avoiding Preconceptions About Ancient Sexuality, He Explores The Ethics Of Solicit And Marriage And Pays Careful Attention To The Original Meanings Of Words, Especially Those Usd As Testimony Of Paul?s Opposition To Homosexuality.
For Example, After A Remarkably Faithful Reading Of The Scriptural Texts, Martin Concludes Tha tOur Contemporary Obsession By the side of Marriage?and The Whole Seek For The ?right? Sexual Relationships?is Antithetical To The Message Of The Gospel.
In All Of These Essays, However, Martin Argues For Engaging Scripture In A Wwy That Goes Beyond The Standard Historical-critical Questions And The Assumptions Of Textual Agency In Ordeer To Find A Faith That Has No Foundations Other Than Jesus Christ.

American Evangelicals And Religious Diversity (research In Religuon And Education).
American Evangelicals And Religious Diversity Is A Qualitative Study Of How Religion And Education Cross At One Conservative Christian School.
The School Is Evang3lical And American.
The School's Curriculum Is Bible-based And Fulfills Its State's Educational Requirements For High School Graduation.
While The School Has An Environment That Is Evange1ical, The Students Live In A Religiously-diverse World.
This Book Documents How Three Students And Their Teacher Struggle To Understand A World That Challenges Theit Faith.
The Context For This Understanding Is How The Teacher Presents And The Three Students Come To Understand Catholicism, Islam, And The Indigenous Religions Of The Americas.
Americans Continue To Debate Whether Religious Schools Are Too Parochial And Do Not Prepare Students To Live A Diverse Society.
It Is The Opinion Of The Editors That This Book Should Put To Rest One Of This Fear.
We Read The Manuscript With A Critical Editorial Eye But Found The Story A Compelling One Which Challenged Us To Review The Tenets Of Our Own Faith.
The Author's Style Of Presentation sI Consistent With Good Scientific Conversation Hitherto Impels The Reader To A View Inside The Experience Of The Subjects Of The Study.
Reading The Manuscript Was Not Only An Informative Experience But A Faith Affirming One Too.
We Are Very Pleased To Point Kevin Taylor's Book, American Evangelicals And Religious Diveristy As An Important Part Of Our Series On Research On Religion And Education.
