Sinopse

How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
In Faithful Politics, you'll find

- Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
- A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
- Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.

    Urban Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the complex relationship between cities, their natural environments, and the sustainability of both. As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, understanding the environmental challenges and opportunities within urban settings is crucial for creating sustainable, livable cities. This chapter introduces the core principles of Urban Environmental Studies, outlining the essential role of urban ecosystems and their impact on the broader global environment. 
    Cities, as centers of human activity, consumption, and growth, have a significant effect on the planet's natural systems. The rapid expansion of urban areas, particularly in developing regions, has led to heightened concerns regarding air quality, water management, waste disposal, and biodiversity loss. These environmental issues are exacerbated by factors such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality, highlighting the need for integrated approaches to managing urban environments. 
    Urban Environmental Studies seeks to address these challenges by examining the ways in which cities interact with their surrounding ecosystems. It focuses on how urban areas can mitigate their environmental footprint while enhancing the quality of life for their inhabitants. Central to this field is the concept of sustainability—an approach that promotes the careful use of resources to meet the needs of present and future generations. This includes developing green infrastructure, managing natural resources efficiently, and creating green spaces that benefit both people and the environment.

    Africa Is Not a Country - Notes...

    So often, Africa has been depicted simplistically as a uniform land of famines and safaris, poverty and strife, stripped of all nuance. In this bold and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective, weaving a vibrant tapestry of stories that bring to life Africa's rich diversity, communities, and histories. 
     
     
     
    Starting with an immersive description of the lively and complex urban life of Lagos, Faloyin unearths surprising truths about many African countries' colonial heritage and tells the story of the continent's struggles with democracy through seven dictatorships. With biting wit, he takes on the phenomenon of the white savior complex and brings to light the damage caused by charity campaigns of the past decades. Entering into the rivalries that energize the continent, Faloyin engages in the heated debate over which West African country makes the best jollof rice and describes the strange, incongruent beauty of the African Cup of Nations. With an eye toward the future promise of the continent, he explores the youth-led cultural and political movements that are defining and reimagining Africa on their own terms. 
     
     
     
    Africa Is Not a Country celebrates the energy and particularity of the continent's different cultures and communities, treating Africa with the respect it deserves.
