Graduate Theological Education and the Human Experience of Disability

Create pathways in theological education and congregational practice for people with disabilities!  Graduate Theological Education and the Human Experience of Disability examines graduate schools of theology and their limited familiarity with the study of disabilityand the presence of people with disabilities in particularon their campuses. Dubbed a missing note by one theologian, this text offers critical research and illuminates new pathways for theologia and practice in the community of faith. Reviews of previous literature, theology, and practices illuminate how people with disabilities have historically been marginalized by the religious community. Theologians, people with disabilities, and researchers offer suggestions for incorporating disability studies into theological education and religious life.  This text contains firsthand testimony from people with disabilities who are the necessary sources of wisdom for overcoming barriers. By infusing education into existing theological curriculum, seminaries may better prepare their students for leadership and ministry in their congregations. People with disabilities number 18% of the population, yet represent only 5-7% of congregational membership.  This book explores aspects of theology and disability such as:  the challenges faced by theological schools that desire to improve both theological curriculum and facilities  a review of literature that connects theology and disabilityfrom sources such as scripture, history, faith traditions, and social theory  the various ideologies that shape the way the human body is understoodredefining normal in theological education  an overview of critical boundaries that mark the limits and possibilities for theological inquiry about the human experience of disability  creative concepts that religious communities may use to better include people with disabilities and their families  how the religious community may benefit from the gifts, talents, and leadership of people with disabilities  Graduate Theological Education and the Human Experience of Disability contains a reprint of Dr. Harold Wilke’s landmark 1978 article from Theological Education (published by the Association of Theological Schools).

Scientific Processes: Origin of Knowledge

Science & Math

History & Philosophy

This 102-page guide and workbook covers basic requirements for achieving scientific literacy. Scientific processes are presented in 15 chapters, each of which includes self-test exercises designed to pique curiosity, reveal the depths of insights and knowledge about scientific processes, enhance receptiveness to the information presented in the chapters, and assure success in helping the user learn and understand what science is and how it works! The author's definition of science as the "asking and answering of verifiable questions about nature" provides a pragmatic, simple and unique model for teaching and learning science at any level. Science is explained within contexts of "truths" (religious, legal, and scientific), and these comparisons provide a focus on both what science is and, and what it is not. Considerable coverage is given to attributes and qualities of (1) pseudoscience, and (2) the relative roles of induction and deduction in the development of myths, on the one hand, and powerful scientific ideas on the other. The roles of accident, chance, and serendipity in scientific discoveries is treated with clarity. Also explained are the common but innappropriate and misleading use of such concepts that science is about answering "why" questions, and "proving" (rather than disproving) ideas. Captivating quotes are scattered through the guidebook. EXAMPLE:"Knowledge no more comes from encyclopedias and libraries than milk comes from grocery-stores. Milk comes from cows, and knowledge comes from scientific processes." A variety of optical illusions are included to demonstrate that information and knowledge are derived from context and relative position, and to emphasize how the human mind can be fooled into believing something that is not true or does not exist. They are entertaining as well as instructional. Details
