Book Description
Who is God? Who is the Creator? Who is the Christ? What is Salvation? Who is God the Spirit? What is the Church? What is Baptism? What is our future? Loving the Questions is a series of reflections on the questions raised by the Nicene Creed, a fourth-century statement of the Christian faith still used regularly in worship in churches around the world. Taking us through the creed step-by-step, Marianne Micks not only poses the questions most asked by contemporary Christians, but also teaches us to delight in the questions themselves. Faith accompanied by doubt, she believes, is far healthier that faith that never asks "why?" In short, accessible chapters Micks informs us of the historical background of the Nicene Creed and reminds us of the creed's theological, communal, and personal relevance today.

Book Description
Essential reading for scholars, poetry lovers, and anyone with an interest in Rainer Maria Rilke, German poetry, or the creative impulse, these ten letters of correspondence between Rilke and a young aspiring poet reveal elements from the inner workings of his own poetic identity. The letters coincided with an important stage of his artistic development and readers can trace many of the themes that later emerge in his best works to these messages—Rilke himself stated these letters contained part of his creative genius.

Author: Rebecca Solnit Publisher: Haymarket Books ISBN: 1608467201 Category : Social Science Languages : en Pages : 141
Book Description
A collection of feminist essays steeped in “Solnit’s unapologetically observant and truth-speaking voice on toxic, violent masculinity” (The Los Angeles Review). In a timely and incisive follow-up to her national bestseller Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit offers sharp commentary on women who refuse to be silenced, misogynistic violence, the fragile masculinity of the literary canon, the gender binary, the recent history of rape jokes, and much more. In characteristic style, “Solnit draw[s] anecdotes of female indignity or male aggression from history, social media, literature, popular culture, and the news . . . The main essay in the book is about the various ways that women are silenced, and Solnit focuses upon the power of storytelling—the way that who gets to speak, and about what, shapes how a society understands itself and what it expects from its members. The Mother of All Questions poses the thesis that telling women’s stories to the world will change the way that the world treats women, and it sets out to tell as many of those stories as possible” (The New Yorker). “There’s a new feminist revolution—open to people of all genders—brewing right now and Rebecca Solnit is one of its most powerful, not to mention beguiling, voices.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, New York Times–bestselling author of Natural Causes “Short, incisive essays that pack a powerful punch.” —Publishers Weekly “A keen and timely commentary on gender and feminism. Solnit’s voice is calm, clear, and unapologetic; each essay balances a warm wit with confident, thoughtful analysis, resulting in a collection that is as enjoyable and accessible as it is incisive.” —Booklist

Book Description
"Among the most common challenges from faculty in higher education today is how to navigate our politically charged culture. Most books on campus discussion address rights (e.g., free speech) or the failures of one side to engage with opposing arguments and in reasonable debate (e.g., due to political silos and social bubbles or extreme polarization), but there is no real guidance that teaches students - and instructors - how to actually engage in productive, civil, dialogue and inquiry. Try to Love the Questions is a guide to civil discourse that offers a framework for understanding and practicing dialogue across difference in and out of the classroom. It explores the challenges facing college students as they prepare to listen, speak, and learn in a college community. It maps a path through the intersection of free speech and inclusion, viewing free inquiry and expression as engines of social progress and scholarship, while demonstrating how inclusive, respectful communication is a skill - not a limitation on freedom. Schwartz articulates a vision for civil discourse in the classroom, on campus, and beyond, that centers on productive conversations and a mindset of inquiry that embraces uncertainty and "explores the beauty of questions, which form the core of the college experience." Schwartz develops 5 key ideas to serve this purpose, which are (1) learning to love questions while seeking answers with integrity; (2) understanding the rules and norms that apply to conversations; (3) listening and reading with a mindset of generosity and grace; (4) communicating to be understood; and (5) engaging in self-reflection. This book is structured as a handbook for helping students, teachers, and scholars to understand that their role in college is to actively engage both appealing and not-so-appealing ideas , to learn how to "love the questions" raised by other students and faculty, and to participate in an exchange that is respectful and productive. Each chapter includes discussion questions and writing exercises"--
