In most English-language Bibles—particularly those arising out of Protestantism—the Greek word dikaiosyne, which occurs most often in Romans, is overwhelmingly translated “righteousness.” Scholars ...have long voiced concerns with this rendering, and in this article I both review their objections and ask why this tradition of translation has been so tenacious. The answer proposed is twofold: first, the ancient Anglo-Saxon pedigree of the word right-wiseness (whose meaning originally included notions of justice about which Paul seems to have been writing) and its consequent preference by the first English Bible translators, the Wycliffites; and second, the penetrating brilliance and lasting influence of William Tyndale, along with his inclination to follow the Wycliffite choice in this matter. I also consider alternative traditions of New Testament translation relative to this important Greek word and sketch the historical context out of which these divergent traditions have developed.
This collection of poems explores the joy of growing up and the pain of moving, the thrill of marriage and the work of raising children, the ecstasy of philosophical pondering and the unavoidable ...grief of losing a loved one. Largely autobiographical, this is my meditation on what it means to be alive in the twenty-first century. It examines immigration, womanhood, and motherhood—how they connect to each other like pieces in a tapestry and create a whole new worldview. I have been inspired by many immigrant poets. I also have drawn inspiration from those poets who dare to ask questions, dare to celebrate life, and dare to speak up about the hidden truths. This collection is my attempt to enter the poetic conversation about the meaning of life and the significance of poetry in the twenty-first century.
How does an individual live in one’s body-what is one’s inner voice? How does an individual live in a society-how can one navigate within the society? These two questions impacted me as I attempted ...to gather the poems for my first book collection. The first part of my manuscript, The Book of Dee, attempts to ask this first of the above two questions: what is the inner voice? The Book of Dee is a series of inner utterings, almost half-whispers. It is as if a soul is in conversation with itself, as a soul asks itself: who am I, why am I here? This group of lyrical poems is intended to be read as a cohesive series, one long poem. The second part of my manuscript, Prison Tales, attempts to take a look outside of this innerscape and ask: how does a human live in a larger world that assaults it, that imprisons it? In Prison Tales, I attempt to take lyrics of Mother Goose nursery rhymes into a prose-poetry format
'Health and safety' currently has an image problem in the UK. This article explores the origins of these current negative perceptions, framed around the concept of legitimacy - the degree to which a ...policy project of this sort is viewed as right, proper, and appropriate. The article considers and evaluates key moments in the growth and decline of social consensus around health and safety since 1960, including the Robens Committee and subsequent Health and Safety at Work Act, the decline of trade unionism, the extension of health and safety beyond the workplace, and the rise of the safety profession. It concludes that change has been much more subtle and less uniform than general perceptions might suggest, and makes recommendations for how public engagement with occupational health and safety might be restructured.
Using student information in schools is nothing new nor is the reliance on information technologies supported by external service providers. What is new is the adoption of innovations like cloud ...computing and data analytics that are increasing teacher and family data access, creating actionable information to drive instruction and decision making, improving data security, enhancing school capacity and productivity, and helping customize learning for each student. Given the importance of this issue and the concern around it, it is crucial to enhance communications and trust among the triad of stakeholders: students/parents and their schools; schools and their service providers; and service providers and students/parents. This will require increased understanding of the benefits of the data and technology, further agreement about its appropriate uses, enhanced governance and transparency around data collection and sharing, and a continuous improvement process for security.
Can Henry Kissinger be described as a serious statesman who altered the course of relations between states? Or was he a shallow impersonator of those whom he admired, and a geopolitical engineer who ...treated people as collateral fodder, reducing morality to the status of a strategic and tactical tool? Using the story of Kissinger's behaviour over Cyprus, backed up by recently revealed government documents, many critical, William Mallinson, former diplomat and leading authority on Cyprus' history, provides an incisive analysis and evaluation of Kissinger's approach, revealing a man who appears to have considered political strategy more important than law and ethics.
En 2010 dos directores vascos, Jon Garaño y Jose Mari Goenaga, estrenaron 80 egunean/ En 80 días, una película que plantea la relación sentimental y sexual entre dos mujeres de setenta años, una ...abiertamente lesbiana y otra heterosexual casada. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar 80 egunean desde la intersección entre género, sexualidad y edad como aspectos entrelazados y solapados. La relación entre las dos mujeres que forma el foco narrativo tiene lugar espacial y temporalmente en ámbitos muy específicos que remiten simbólicamente, como se verá, a una exploración profunda de la edad, la sexualidad y los papeles de género, e incluso de la familia y de la propia identidad vasca. Asimismo, se estudiará cómo la noción de identidad sexual no se presenta en su cualidad nómada como cabría esperar en una película de temática LGBT, sino como una fija. Por el contrario, la heteronormatividad y la mirada masculina entendidas como las relaciones de poder por medio de las cuales las relaciones heterosexuales se institucionalizan serán las que prevalezcan. Aunque la cinta muestra la ‘normalización’ de la homosexualidad en el paisaje social vasco, no establece un espacio y un tiempo ‘queer’.
In mid-twentieth-century Latin America there was a strong
consensus between Left and Right-Communists working under the
directives of the Third International, nationalists within the
military ...interested in fostering industrialization, and
populists-about the need to break away from the colonial legacies
of the past and to escape from the constraints of the international
capitalist system. Even though they disagreed about the desired end
state, Argentines of all political stripes could agree on the need
for economic independence and national sovereignty, which would be
brought about through the efforts of a national bourgeoisie.
James Brennan and Marcelo Rougier aim to provide a political
history of this national bourgeoisie in this book. Deploying an
eclectic methodology combining aspects of the "new
institutionalism," the "new economic history," Marxist political
economy, and deep research in numerous, rarely consulted archives
into what they dub the "new business history," the authors offer
the first thorough, empirically based history of the national
bourgeoisie's peak association, the Confederación General Económica
(CGE), and of the Argentine bourgeoisie's relationship with the
state.
They also investigate the relationship of the bourgeoisie to
Perón and the Peronist movement by studying the history of one
industrial sector, the metalworking industry, and two regional
economies-one primarily industrial, Córdoba, and another mostly
agrarian, Chaco-with some attention to a third, Tucumán, a
cane-cultivating and sugar-refining region sharing some features of
both. While spanning three decades, the book concentrates most on
the years of Peronist government, 1946-55 and 1973-76.
One of the most important Irish novelists of the twentieth century, Kate O'Brien (1897-1974) was also a pioneer of women's writing. In a career that spanned almost fifty years, nine novels, nine ...plays, two travelogues, and copious criticism, O'Brien rebelled against the narrow nationalism andrestrictive Catholicism prevalent in independent Ireland. In this highly original approach to O'Brien's work, Davison traces the influence of three leading Spanish writers-Jacinto Benavente, Miguel deCervantes, and Teresa of Avila. O'Brien's lifelong fascination with Spanish literature and culture offered an oblique way of resisting the Catholic and conservative imperatives of the Irish Free State. In a series of close comparative readings, Davison identifies the origin of O'Brien's creative disinhibition and ultimately situates her within a tradition of dissident Irish women writers.
Congress passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) with the goal of "promoting increased participation in pension plans by increasing the security of future benefits." To ...achieve this goal, ERISA created a complex regulatory system complemented by civil- and criminal-enforcement provisions. Although Congress enacted ERISA to prevent frauds by plan trustees, trustees escape liability because courts narrowly interpret ERISA's statute of limitations for breaches of fiduciary duty-a limitations period so incoherent that it is "held together by chewing gum and baling wire." Normally, a plaintiff has three years from actual knowledge of the breach of fiduciary duty to bring suit, but the claim cannot be brought more than six years after the breach occurred. However, in the case of "fraud or concealment," plaintiffs receive a separate six-year time period starting from the date of discovery of the fiduciary's breach, regardless of when the breach actually occurred. Unfortunately, courts have failed to consider the nature of the fiduciary breach or the trust relationship when interpreting the "fraud or concealment" exception. This interpretive error has led courts to apply ERISA's statute of limitations restrictively. These courts' interpretations ignore the body of law upon which ERISA is based, the common law of trusts.
