Sinossi

Cultural Calendars explores how societies measure time and how these systems reflect core beliefs and values. It delves into diverse calendar systems, revealing how they shape cultural identity and social practices. Ancient civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia developed calendars based on astronomical observations and agricultural cycles, influencing the social context of rituals, festivals, and agricultural practices.

 
The book uniquely interprets calendars as cultural artifacts, embodying a society's understanding of time and its place in the cosmos, challenging the notion of universally objective time. It examines lunar calendars prevalent in agrarian societies, solar calendars linked to agricultural cycles like the Gregorian calendar, and lunisolar calendars reconciling lunar and solar cycles, such as traditional Chinese calendars.

 
The book progresses by introducing fundamental concepts, exploring diverse calendars thematically, and discussing the impact of globalization and modernization. Through historical texts, archaeological findings, and ethnographic studies, Cultural Calendars connects to anthropology, sociology, and religious studies.

 
It emphasizes respecting diverse timekeeping traditions and recognizing the cultural construction of time, which is essential for intercultural communication and preserving cultural heritage.

    Want to be truly inclusive? It's more than flying a rainbow flag on your church doors. 
     
     
     
    So your church website says you're welcoming, a rainbow flag flies out front, worship uses gender-inclusive language, and you make sure you greet the stranger next to you on Sunday mornings. But is all of that really enough? And what if those welcoming gestures actually keep visitors from returning and exclude dozens of other groups or people in your community? 
     
     
     
    In True Inclusion, public theologian and pastor Brandan Robertson shares how to move your church from mere welcome to radical embrace. Pointing to a clear biblical imperative for radical inclusivity in the sanctuary and in the public square, Robertson presents a paradigm-shifting vision of community, "where nothing is simple, nothing is easy, but everything is beautiful." Learn practical, step-by-step approaches to becoming deeply, robustly, and richly inclusive of all people regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and socioeconomic status. 
     
     
     
    Written for people and communities at every stage of the journey, True Inclusion will challenge and inspire you to embody a gospel of radical embrace for all.
