Does Christian witness mean being prepared to contend intellectually with competing philosophies? Or should witness address the felt needs of the person with whom Christ is shared? Both the worldview and the inner needs of the unbeliever are important, writes David K. Clark, as he considers how Christians can earn a hearing and use opportunities effectively. Dialogical Apologetics weds classical apologetics with person-centered evangelism theory. Logic and philosophy help answer questions of honest inquiry, but those answers must also fit the context where they will be lived out. The author looks at new windows of opportunity in philosophy, science, and interreligious dialogue. He shows how to build a flexible witness on an intellectual base. The books vivid writing and practical bent make it particularly useful for students who want to intellectually relate faith and life in a secular academic environment.

Personification discusses the theory behind multiplicity of the person and considers the implications that the relationships between the different parts of the same person have in practice.  Providing both historical and contemporary insights John Rowan reveals new thinking and research in the field, as well as offering guidelines for using this information in practice. The book also looks closely at the practice of personification – a technique involving the turning of a problem into a person and allowing a two-way dialogue through which the inner critic can be addressed and explored. As such areas of discussion include: the use of multiplicity in therapy group work and the dialogical self the transpersonal This practical, straightforward book will be ideal reading for anyone using personification in their therapeutic work, including psychotherapists, counsellors and coaches.

In the dialogical classroom, students use writing to explore who they are becoming and how they relate to the larger culture around them. Dialogical writing combines academic and personal writing; allows writers to bring multiple voices to the work; involves thought, reflection, and engagement across time and space; and creates opportunities for substantive and ongoing meaning making.How can we, as teachers, carve out space in our literacy classrooms for a more dialogical approach to writing? Focusing on adolescent learners, Bob Fecho argues that teachers need to develop writing experiences that are reflective across time in order to foster even deeper explorations of subject matter, and he creates an ongoing conversation between classroom practice, theory, and research to show how each informs the others. Drawing on NCTE Beliefs about the Teaching of Writing, this book illustrates the empowerment that can result from dialogical writing even as it examines the complications of implementing this approach in the classroom.In this book, you will discover how to fashion a dialogical writing program that meets your and your students' needs. Fecho helps you get there by providing a window into the classrooms of middle and high school teachers who are engaged in a dialogue with their practices. You'll see how these teachers enact practice in different contexts, and you'll hear them explain the essentials of their teaching as they demonstrate how dialogical classrooms depend on context and are forever in a state of becoming. The dialogical classroom: often messy, complex, thoughtful, and inspired, but most of all, full of potential. Principles in Practice imprint.

What roles do biblical scholars play in contexts where the Bible is a significant text within poor and marginalized communities? Gerald West reflects on what their role is by drawing on liberation hermeneutics (with a focus on race, class and gender), inculturation hermeneutics (with a focus on culture), and postmodernism (with a decentred 'focus'!). He argues that recent trends in the field of biblical studies open up space for serious dialogue (and perhaps even collaboration) between readers of the Bible in the academy and readers of the Bible in poor and marginalized communities.

Briefly traces the life and career of Mikhail Bakhtin, a Russian critic, and discusses his writings about culture, texts, and meaning

An excellent introduction to the approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the meeting between the therapist and client as the critical healing mode. Hycner explores the writing of Martin Buber, Hans Trub, and Buber's biographer, Maurice Friedman.

"How to Play Dialogues" constitutes the first introduction to Dialogical Logic aimed at the practice of dialogic containing precise comments on solutions to exercises in first-order classical, intuitionistic and elements of propositional modal logic. It is the first part of the work "The Dialogues of Logic", conceived in two separate autonomous texts on dialogical logic. The two texts should provide together a comprehensive technical and philosophical overview of the dialogical approach to logic.

From scholarly monographs to papal homilies, Joseph Ratzinger has insisted consistently over decades that Christianity is not a set of ideas to believe or, even less, moral laws to follow. Rather, Christianity is about a person and our encounter with that person.In The Word Made Love, Christopher Collins identifies in the structure of Ratzinger's thought the presentation of God as one who speaks and who ultimately speaks Himself in the person of Jesus Christ. Humanity's posture before God is one of hearing and responding. For Ratzinger, then, dialogue is the basic structure of al reality, and the Christian Vision articulates the radical transformation that happens when we enter into this divine dialogue. Collins argues that this dialogical, communicative structure is a distinctive aspect of Ratzinger's thought and a unique contribution to the renewal of theology in our day.

Dealing with dialogue, this work addresses two issues. The primary focus is on the theoretical understanding and empirical analysis of talk-in-interaction; secondly, the work explores the possiblities and limitations in dialogism as a general epistemology for cognition and communication.

"In this remarkable book, Fr. Nikolaos Loudovikos brings his profound knowledge of the greatest of Byzantine theologians, St. Maximus the Confessor, into dialogue with the recent currents of philosophy and theology in the West. This in itself is rare enough, but his central claim - that who we really are is disclosed in our final destiny in God - is one that he shows is rooted in our participation in the Eucharist. This is an intellectually demanding work, but in it Fr. Loudovikos never loses sight of the fact that what he has to say bears directly on how we understand what it is to live as a Christian in the twenty-first century." -Andrew Louth, Durham University

The Text as Thou establishes Martin Buber's central concept of "I-Thou" as the heart of a dialogical theory of textual interpretation and a narrative method for explicating Jewish philosophy and theology. Part One takes up Buber's application of his hermeneutic method to the texts of Hasidism and the Bible and the way in which that method can be applied to secular texts as well. His development of a dialogical hermeneutics links Buber to such contemporary theorists as Gadamer, Ricoeur, and Bakhtin. Part Two demonstrates that narrative provides privileged access to Buber's thought. By the retelling of Hasidic tales, biblical stories, and autobiographical anecdotes with powerful immediacy and concreteness, Buber succeeds in a daring attempt to formulate a modern narrative Jewish theology. Taken together, Buber's dialogical hermeneutics and narrative theology constitute a key element in the contemporary revival of the Jewish midrashic imagination.

Following an approach that is empirical but not psychological, and dialectical but not dialogical, Maurice Finocchiaro defines concepts such as reasoning, argument, argument analysis, critical reasoning, methodological reflection, judgment, critical thinking, and informal logic. Including extended critiques of the views of many contemporary scholars, he also integrates into the discussion Arnauld's Port-Royal Logic, Gramsci's theory of intellectuals, and case studies from the history of science, particularly the work of Galileo, Newton, Huygens, and Lavoisier.

Building on the enthusiastic reception of and critical acclaim for The Peoples' Bible, hailed as "a rich resource" (Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza) that "will empower people to reclaim the Bible as a multicultural, dialogical, and living tradition" (Kwok Pui-lan), this colorful and engaging biblical textbook brings those same new perspectives in biblical studies to the college classroom. Highlighting the role of cultures in both the development of the Bible and in its subsequent reception around the world, The Peoples' Companion to the Bible enables students to see how social location has figured in the ways particular peoples have understood the biblical text and helps students formulate their own social location as a key to understanding the Bible and its import for them. The groundbreaking articles from The Peoples' Bible are all here, including "Culture and Identity"; "The Bible as a Text of Cultures" and "The Bible as a Text in Cultures"; "Jesus and Cultures"; "The Bible as an Instrument of Reconciliation"; "The Bible and Empire"; "Women, Culture, and the Bible"; and "Responsible Christian Exegesis of Hebrew Scripture," along with new essays designed for the classroom, including a Bible Reader's Self-Inventory; introductory essays on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament; and an essay on understanding the biblical theme of "the people of God" in a multicultural world.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The preface apparatus of the African epistolary novel is part of a dialogical process with the reader. Three types of prefaces dominate the African epistolary novel. These are the auctorial, actorial and authentic prefaces, which fulfil various functions. First, the first is either performative or paradigmatic. Secondly, the second one ensures a homodiegetic or autodiegetic posture. Finally, the third one is extradiegetic. From the point of view of their ideological value, these three prefaces are successively articulated around the didactic, societal and moral, historical and cultural dimension.But whatever the typology, the preface seeks to seduce the reader by praising the themes, the ideas conveyed, the plot, the objective being to ensure a good reading of the text. Even if this unknown 'world' does not allow for a direct focus on the meaning of the work, it does, however, give a glimpse of the richness of the interior of the letters. The prefatory material favours the emergence of the epistolary novelistic creation. 56 pp. Englisch

This important work not only contributes to understanding the origins and character of John's christological tensions, but it also outlines a new set of theories regarding several innovative dialogical approaches to the Johannine text. In his new introduction to this edition, Anderson engages constructively the responses of his reviewers and outlines his own theories regarding John's dialogical autonomy. Posing a comprehensive new synthesis regarding John's composition, situation history, relations to Synoptic traditions, agency Christology, historicity, and theological tensions, Anderson here summarizes his most significant theories published since it first appeared. In so doing, advances suggested by this pivotal text are laid out in a new set of paradigms addressing the Johannine riddles in fuller detail.

This work offers a detailed examination of the theory and practice of dialogue as a cluster of related dialogical styles and approaches and not just as one entity. The author offers a critical and conceptual study of the nature of dialogue, and a discussion of concrete issues in teaching with dialogue: how it works, why it is beneficial for teaching, how it sometimes fails, and how to improve on it. Organising his book around the metaphor of playing a game, Burbules speaks to scholars and teachers in sophisticated, yet accessible language, about a topic of interest to both.
