Understanding Prophetic Ministry
With the advent of social media and its inherent ability to make people's words "go viral," abundant opportunities exist for false prophecies to flourish in the church. People are drawn to these "prophets" to ease anxiety, fulfill wants, or know the future. But when these men and women aren't speaking God's words, they can lead people astray and turn their eyes from our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. In Understanding Prophetic Ministry, author Tewodros Assefa Damtew addresses this danger by highlighting the benchmarks and characteristics of the true prophets of God and providing practical instructions on how to deal, in love, with the false prophets that will arise these days. Pastor Damtew ...

Fragments of Home
Abandoned airports. Shipping containers. Squatted hotels. These are just three of the many unusual places that have housed refugees in the past decade. The story of international migration is often told through personal odysseys and dangerous journeys, but when people arrive at their destinations a more mundane task begins: refugees need a place to stay. Governments and charities have adopted a range of strategies in response to this need. Some have sequestered refugees in massive camps of glinting metal. Others have hosted them in renovated office blocks and disused warehouses. They often end up in prefabricated shelters flown in from abroad. This book focuses on seven examples of emergency...
Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion. Volume 8 (2017)
The intersection of religion, ritual, emotion, globalization, migration, sexuality, gender, race, and class, is especially insightful for researching Pentecostal notions of the body. Pentecostalism is well known for overt bodily expressions that includes kinesthetic worship with emotive music and sustained acts of prayer. Among Pentecostals there is considerable debate about bodies, the role of the Holy Spirit, possession of evil spirits, deliverance, exorcism, revival, and healing of bodies and emotions. Pentecostalism is identified as a religion on the move and so bodies are transformed in the context of globalization. Pentecostalism is also associated with notions of sexuality, gender, race and class where bodies are often liberated and limited. This volume evaluates these themes associated with contemporary research on the body.
The City on Display
The City on Display: Architecture Festivals and the Urban Commons reflects on the biennials, triennials, and other festivals of architecture and design that have been held over the last two decades, as they expand and transform in response to the exigencies of ‘planetary urbanisation’. Joel Robinson examines the development of these large-scale, international, and perennial exhibitions as they address such challenges as urban regeneration, heritage preservation, climate change, and the migration crisis. Homing in on examples of festivals in Venice, Rotterdam, Oslo, Tallinn, Sharjah, Seoul, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, the author describes how they alter the public spaces that host them, eith...
The Best Surprise is No Surprise
Introduction by Daniel Birnbaum. Edited by Anton Vidokle. Text by Hans-Ulrich Obrist.
Away from Home
At least since the biblical Exodus, stories of establishing a home, leaving home either voluntarily or by force, and homecoming have collectively formed one of the great organizing subjects of Western civilization. Away From Home conveys the widespread and continuing import of such themes through provocative and playful projects by mid-career and emerging artists from five continents. Issues of home, travel, exile, nomadism and sense of place are reflected on by Franz Ackermann, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Allora y Calzadilla, Lisa Brice, Raul Cordero, Gregory Green, Lee Mingwei, Jac Leirner, Ken Lum, Marcos Ramirez (ERRE) and Jill Rowinski. Accompanying essays contribute a poignant recollection of an archetypal childhood journey; discuss the exhibition within and against the context of art world internationalism; and interlace wide-ranging comments on travel, home and recent art history with the specifics of Away From Home's artists and artworks.
