DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis thesis is an attempt to explore M. M. Thomas's theological framework with a view towards gaining a better understanding of Thomas's Christology. First, I briefly considered the need for a concrete Christology today, the Indian context, and the life of M. M. Thomas. Then, taking the Indian context and the life of Thomas into consideration, I recognized how Thomas relates the meaning of Christ to the reality of Indian society in his time. The next subject examined Thomas's interaction with Indian Christian and non-Christian thinkers on the person of Christ. This helped me more clearly discern the outline of Thomas's theology. The final subject was Thomas's view of the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, who in his view transforms the world toward the realization of "New Humanity." With these analytic methods, I turned to my critical evaluation of Thomas's contribution. I examined the meaning of the "New Humanity" for Thomas, and how Thomas formulated his own theology with the idea of New Humanity, in relation to the former subjects. On my evaluation of Thomas's contribution, I could discern Thomas's theological framework which can facilitate more communication of the gospel with the contemporary world while emphasizing the centrality of Christ. Moreover, I could comprehend how he developed an integral relationship between his concern for communication and the theological task of the church's mission.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWorld Christianity: An Introduction provides an accessible introduction to the discipline, methodology, and field of world Christianity. In this book, Graham Joseph Hill engages with more than one hundred high-profile Majority World and First Nations Christian leaders to learn what they can teach the West about mission, leadership, hospitality, creation care, education, worship, and more. Hill challenges the Western church to move away from a Eurocentric and Americentric view of church and mission, and he calls for the church to engage with crucial paradigm shifts in world Christianity. The future of the global church--including the churches in the West--exists in these global exchanges. World Christianity is an indispensable guide for the church as it navigates the unique global experiences of the twenty-first century.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCedric Robinson – political theorist, historian, and activist – was one of the greatest black radical thinkers of the twentieth century. In this powerful work, the first major book to tell his story, Joshua Myers shows how Robinson’s work interrogated the foundations of western political thought, modern capitalism, and changing meanings of race. Tracing the course of Robinson’s journey from his early days as an agitator in the 1960s to his publication of such seminal works as Black Marxism, Myers frames Robinson’s mission as aiming to understand and practice opposition to “the terms of order.” In so doing, Robinson excavated the Black Radical tradition as a form of resistance that imagined that life on wholly different terms was possible. In the era of Black Lives Matter, that resistance is as necessary as ever, and Robinson’s contribution only gains in importance. This book is essential reading for anyone wanting to learn more about it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhile many volumes discuss qualitative methods, only Qualitative Communication Research Methods focuses on the history and diversity of their use within the communication discipline. This volume is written by, for, and about communication scholars. It introduces readers from any background to every step of the qualitative research process, from developing research topics and questions, all the way through writing a final report. In addition to covering the scope of theories and methods currently used in qualitative communication research, this book also discusses important trends influencing the future of that research. Key features in this new edition include: - A more clear and direct writing style, suitable for use in both undergraduate and graduate courses. - Numerous practical examples and exercises designed to reinforce student learning of concepts. - A critical guide to the contexts of qualitative research. More than ever, qualitative researchers operate in institutional contexts that present new dilemmas. The book brings readers up to date on related ethical, political, and practical issues, including: the influences of globalization on the design and conduct of research; the appropriate use of recording technology in conducting fieldwork; the unique challenges and opportunities related to studying multi-media, on-line environments; and ongoing innovation and controversy surrounding genres and formats of qualitative writing. - An integrated "suite" of chapters on data-producing methods. In addition to updated discussions of participant-observation and qualitative interviewing, this edition includes a new chapter on the study of material culture and documents. Together, these three chapters help readers to learn how fieldwork methods can successfully combine in a flexible, integrated fashion. - Cutting-edge technological developments. The book informs and advises readers about the latest developments in technology for qualitative communication research. This discussion focuses on how "new" media - such as e-mail, texting, cell phone video, and blogging - not only form topics of research, but also the means of recording, analyzing, and textually "representing" data.
