Book Description
What if the Gospels were less about the ancient world, ancient people, and salvation, and more about the modern farming industry, farm animals, and bacon? Riding on the growing popularity of bacon in current American culture, The Bacon Gospels strives to answer this very question Mattbacon 7:7: Oink, and it shall be given you; root, and ye shall find; squeal, and it shall be opened unto you. Bark 10:27: And Ham looking upon them squealeth, With meat it is impossible, but not with Pork: for with Pork all things are possible. Baconuke 2:7: And she brought forth her firstborn suckling, and wrapped him in swaddling hide, and laid him in a styrofoam tray; because there was no room for them in the Pig and Whistle. Johnbacon 3:16: For Pork so loved the factory, that he gave his only begotten Rasher, that whosoever believeth in bacon should not perish, but have everlasting shelflife.

Feminist Theology and Contemporary Dieting Culture
Author: Hannah Bacon
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567659968
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Hannah Bacon draws on qualitative research conducted inside one UK secular commercial weight loss group to show how Christian religious forms and theological discourses inform contemporary weight-loss narratives. Bacon argues that notions of sin and salvation resurface in secular guise in ways that repeat well-established theological meanings. The slimming organization recycles the Christian terminology of sin – spelt 'Syn' – and encourages members to frame weight loss in salvific terms. These theological tropes lurk in the background helping to align food once more with guilt and moral weakness, but they also mirror to an extent the way body policing techniques in Christianity have historically helped to cultivate self-care. The self-breaking and self-making aspects of women's Syn-watching practices in the group continue certain features of historical Christianity, serving in similar ways to conform women's bodies to patriarchal norms while providing opportunities for women's self-development. Taking into account these tensions, Bacon asks what a specifically feminist theological response to weight loss might look like. If ideas about sin and salvation service hegemonic discourses about fat while also empowering women to shape their own lives, how might they be rethought to challenge fat phobia and the frenetic pursuit of thinness? As well as naming as 'sin' principles and practices which diminish women's appetites and bodies, this book forwards a number of proposals about how salvation might be performed in our everyday eating habits and through the cultivation of fat pride. It takes seriously the conviction of many women in the group that food and the body can be important sites of power, wisdom and transformation, but channels this insight into the construction of theologies that resist rather than reproduce thin privilege and size-ist norms.

Peter's Vision
Author: Robin Gould
Publisher: Beky Books
ISBN: 9780996183987
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Peter's rooftop vision is a popular proof text used to discourage followers of Messiah Yeshua from obeying the Bible's dietary laws that prohibit certain meats, such as bacon, that God has declared to be unclean. Peter was a zealous figure who, at times, misunderstood Yeshua's evangelistic mission and missed the bigger picture. To improve his spiritual view, Peter was given a weighty intervention in the form of a vision. Many who shake their heads sagely as they read of Peter's mistakes might themselves be misunderstanding Yeshua's mission, partly by misunderstanding Peter's vision. In the end, Peter did interpret his vision correctly, though his words have become lost in a modern narrative that replaces Peter's report of the meaning of his vision . This booklet examines Peter's vision in the proper linguistic, historical, and Word-based context for accurate study and understanding. The result is the Good News taking deeper root in our lives.

Albion Fellows Bacon
Author: Robert G. Barrows
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253028566
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Albion Fellows Bacon Indiana's Municipal Housekeeper Robert G. Barrows Examines the career of a leading Progressive Era reformer. Born in Evansville, Indiana, in 1865, Albion Fellows was reared in the nearby hamlet of McCutchanville and graduated from Evansville High School. She worked for several years as a secretary and court reporter, toured Europe with her sister, married local merchant Hilary Bacon in 1888, and settled into a seemingly comfortable routine of middle-class domesticity. In 1892, however, she was afflicted with an illness that lasted for several years, an illness that may have resulted from a real or perceived absence of outlets for her intelligence and creativity. Bacon eventually found such outlets in a myriad of voluntary associations and social welfare campaigns. She was best known for her work on behalf of tenement reform and was instrumental in the passage of legislation to improve housing conditions in Indiana. She was also involved in child welfare, city planning and zoning, and a variety of public health efforts. Bacon became Indiana's foremost "municipal houskeeper," a Progressive Era term for women who applied their domestic skills to social problems plaguing their communities. She also found time to write about her social reform efforts and her religious faith in articles and pamphlets. She published one volume of children's stories, and authored several pageants. One subject she did not write about was women's suffrage. While she did not oppose votes for women, suffrage was never her priority. But the reality of her participation in public affairs did advance the cause of women's political equality and provided a role model for future generations. Robert G. Barrows, Associate Professor of History at Indiana University at Indianapolis, was previously an editor at the Indiana Historical Bureau. He has published several journal articles and book chapters dealing with Indiana history and American urban history, and he coedited (with David J. Bodenhamer) the Encyclopedia of Indianapolis (Indiana University Press).

Neither Jew nor Greek
Author: James D. G. Dunn
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 0802839339
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 960
Book Description
In Christianity in the making, James D.G. Dunn examines in depth the major factors that shaped first-generation Christianity and beyond, exploring the parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism, the Hellenization of Christianity, and responses to Gnosticism. He mines all the first- and second-century sources, including the New Testament Gospels, New Testament apocrypha, and such church fathers as Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus, showing how the Jesus tradition and the figures of James, Paul, Peter, and John were still esteemed influences but were also the subject of intense controversy as the early church wrestled with its evolving identity.

Radical Belonging
Author: Lindo Bacon
Publisher: BenBella Books
ISBN: 1950665496
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
"Belonging has been a formative struggle for me. Like most people with marginalized identities, my experience has taught me that it's hard to be yourself and feel like you belong in a culture that is hostile to your existence. That's why my body of work as a scientist, author, professor, speaker, and advocate for body liberation always comes back to the impact of belonging or not belonging. Radical Belonging is my manifesto, helping us heal from the individual and collective trauma of injustice and support our transition from a culture of othering to one of belonging." —Lindo Bacon Too many of us feel alienated from our bodies. This isn't your personal failing; it means that our culture is failing you. We are in the midst of a cultural moment. #MeToo. #BlackLivesMatter. #TransIsBeautiful. #AbleismExists. #EffYourBeautyStandards. Those of us who don't fit into the "mythical norm" (white, male, cisgender, able-bodied, slender, Christian, etc.)—which is to say, most of us—are demanding our basic right: To know that who we are matters. To belong. Being "othered" and the body shame it spurs is not "just" a feeling. Being erased and devalued impacts our ability to regulate our emotions, our relationships with others, our health and longevity, our finances, our ability to realize dreams, and whether we will be accepted, loved, or even safe. Radical Belonging is not a simple self-love treatise. Focusing only on self-love ignores the important fact that we have negative experiences because our culture has targeted certain bodies and people for abuse or alienation. For marginalized people, a focus on self-love can be a spoonful of sugar that makes the oppression go down. This groundbreaking book goes further, helping us to manage the challenges that stem from oppression and moving beyond self-love and into belonging. With Lindo Bacon's signature blend of science and storytelling, Radical Belonging addresses the political, sociological, psychological and biological underpinnings of your experiences, helping you understand that the alienation and pain you are experiencing is not personal, but human. The problem is in injustice, not you as an individual. So many of us feel wounded by a culture that has alienated us from our bodies and divided us from each other. Radical Belonging provides strategies to reckon with the trauma of injustice; reclaim yourself, body and soul; and rewire your nervous system to better cope within an unjust world. It also provides strategies to help us all provide refuge for one another and create a culture of equity and empathy, one that respects, includes, and benefits from all its diverse peoples. Whether you are transgender, queer, Black, Indigenous or a Person of Color, disabled, old, or fat—or your more closely resemble the "mythical norm"—Radical Belonging is your guidebook for creating a world where all bodies are valued and all of us belong—and for coping with this one, until we make that new world a reality.
