British Philanthropy in the Globalizing World
Most accounts of philanthropy and societal change focus either on either the efforts of a small number of 'heroic' individuals, or on wider historical forces. This book traces networks of philanthropists over four generations to show how modern philanthropy, humanitarianism, and social entrepreneurship emerged between the 1750s and the 1830s.
The Impact of Political Economy
In our late modern pluralistic societies, there are tensions and complementarities between a plurality of individual and social claims and activities to shape societal life and a constructive pluralism of what is known as social systems. The latter provide normative codes and powers emanating from the areas of law, religion, the family, the market, the media, education, academic research, health care, defense and politics. A better understanding and steering of this complex division of powers is crucial for the common good and for freedom and peace. In this volume, a multi-disciplinary team of experts from Germany, Italy, Australia, the UK, the USA, and South Africa bring their conceptual, empirical and historical insights to bear in three broad sections: »The moral dimension of social systems«; »The interaction of religion, law and education with political systems«; and »The moral (mal)-formation evident in case studies on the global financial crisis and social media«.
The Insect and the Buffalo
When we read the Bible, it's easy to feel like God wrote the wrong book. We come with twenty-first century problems and we are given a collection of ancient stories. Yet these stories form a uni ed narrative, one that points us to Jesus, and through Jesus, reshapes the way we see the world. THE INSECT AND THE BUFFALO is a short introduction, designed to help you re-read, re-think and re-engage with the Bible.
