Hardcover. A gentle guidebook for Christians caught in the messy middle In the wake of scandal, culture wars, and abuse, many Christians are wondering whether the North American church is redeemable--and if not, whether they should even stay. While many are answering no to those questions, this book is for those who long to disentangle their faith from all the cultural baggage and recapture the joy of following Jesus. Through personal anecdotes, encounters with the global church, deep dives into Scripture, and helpful historical context about Christianity, An Untidy Faith takes readers on two journeys. The first journey lays out the grand vision of Christianity and the legacy passed on to us by the early believers in hopes of renewing readers' belief in the church writ large. The second journey helps believers understand why they feel distant from their church settings and provides a reorientation drawn from Scripture of God's vision for community. A gentle companion, Kate Boyd walks alongside those who have questions but can't ask them for fear of being labeled by or cast out of their communities. An Untidy Faith is a guidebook for those who want to be equipped with practices to rebuild their faith and shape their communities to look more like Jesus. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

This classic coming-of-age novel, winner of the Lippincott FictionPrize for Young Novelists in 1954, is a deliberately comic portrayal of"Mobile madness," a malady specific to the Gulf Coast but recognizableby all.Eugene Walter's first novel is about a young man from a small centralAlabama town who goes south of the "salt line" to Mobile to work in a bankand study law.  As soon as this unnamed pilgrim arrives, he realizesthat--although he is still in Alabama—he has entered a separate physicalkingdom of banana trees and palm fronds, subtropical heat and humidity,old houses and lacy wrought-iron balconies. In the "land of clowns" andthe "kingdom of monkeys"—in the town that can claim the oldest Mardi Grasin America--there is no Puritan work ethic; the only ruling forces are thoseof chaos, craziness, and caprice. Such forces overtake the pilgrim, seducehim away from the beaten career path, and set him on a zigzag course throughlife.The Untidy Pilgrim celebrates the insularityas well as the eccentricity of southerners—and Mobilians, in particular—inthe mid-20th century. Cut off from the national mainstream, they are portrayedas devoid of that particularly American angst over what to "do" and accomplishwith one's life, and indulge instead in art, music, cooking, nature, andlove.  In this novel Walter eschews the "gloom and doom" southernliterary tradition established by Faulkner, Capote, and McCullers to illuminatethe joyous quirkiness of human existence.In 1954 this refreshing approach to the southernscene garnered the praise of the judges for that year's Lippincott FictionPrize, Jacques Barzun, Diana Trilling, and Bernard DeVoto. This reissueof the paperback in The University of Alabama Press's Deep South Booksseries assures yet another generation the delight of Eugene Walter's award-winningromp through Mobile.

After all, you could end up with an infestation of barbaric proportions!

From the American Revolution to the present, the United States has enjoyed a rich and persuasive visual culture. These images have constructed, sustained, and disseminated social values and identities, but this unwieldy, sometimes untidy form of cultural expression has received less systematic attention than other modes of depicting American life. Recently, scholars in the humanities have developed a new critical approach to reading images and the cultural work they perform. This practice, American cultural iconography, is generating sophisticated analyses of how images organize our public life. The contributions to this volume exhibit the extraordinary scope and interpretive power of this interdisciplinary study while illuminating the dark corners of the nation's psyche. Drawing on such varied texts and visual media as daguerreotypes, political cartoons, tourist posters, and religious artifacts, these essays explore how pictures and words combine to teach us who we are and who we are not. They examine mimesis in elegant portraits of black Freemasons, industrial-age representations of national parks, and postwar photographs of atomic destruction. They consider how visual culture has described and disclosed the politics of racialized sexuality, whether subconsciously affirming it in the shadows of film noir or deliberately contesting it through the interethnic incest of John Sayles's Lone Star. Students of literature, film, and history will find that these essays extend the frontier of American studies. The contributors are Maurice Wallace, Dennis Berthold, Alan Trachtenberg, Shirley Samuels, Jenny Franchot, Cecelia Tichi, Eric Lott, Bryan C. Taylor, and José E. Limón.

Writing the history of American archaeology, especially concerning eighteenth- and nineteenth-century arguments, is not always as straightforward as it might seem. Archaeology’s trajectory from an avocation to a semi-profession to a specialized profession, rather than being a linear progression, was an untidy organic process that emerged from the intellectual tradition of antiquarianism. It then closely allied itself with the natural sciences throughout the nineteenth century, especially with geology and the debate about the origins and identity of the indigenous mound-building cultures of the eastern United States. In his reexamination of the eclectic interests and equally varied settings of nascent American archaeology, Terry A. Barnhart exposes several fundamental, deeply embedded historiographical problems within the secondary literature relating to the nineteenth-century debate about “Mound Builders” and “American Indians.” Some issues are perceptual, others contextual, and still others are basic errors of fact. Adding to the problem are semantic and contextual considerations arising from the problematic use of the term “race” as a synonym for tribe, nation, and race proper—a concept and construct that does not in all instances translate into current understanding and usage. American Antiquities uses this early discourse on the mounds to reframe perennial anthropological problems relating to human origins and antiquity in North America.

Any theory of language constructs its object by separating relevant from irrelevant phenomena and excluding the latter. As a result, all theories of language leave out a remainder. This remainder is the odd, untidy, awkward, creative part of how all of us use language all the time. It is the essence of poetry and of metaphor. Jean-Jacques Lecercle argues that, although the remainder can never be completely formalized, it must be fully recognized by any true account of language. He expounds a theory of the remainder which has to face the hard contradiction: "Who speaks? Language, or the speaker?" This leads to a discussion of the violence of language, and the fact that all speakers are violently constrained in their use of language by quite particular social and psychological realities.

From the Classicism of Jacques-Louis David to the Realism of Courbet and the Early Impressionism of Renoir, this book outlines the course taken by painting and sculpture in Europe during the 19th century. Faced with the untidy sprawl of individualism which followed the French Revolution and threw up isolated geniuses like Goya, the author nevertheless charts the currents in what was predominantly a century of Naturalism and also - whilst artists were increasingly preoccupied with "the inner man" - of great landscape-painting when Friedrich, Corot and the Impressionists proper added light and atmosphere to the former achievements of the great Dutch masters.

In three episodes a brother and sister deal with Rhoda's untidy room, a bee sting, and a baby sitter.
