Synopsis

Religious Roles explores the evolving roles of women in religion, examining how increased participation and leadership are reshaping theological education and religious institutions. The book delves into the historical exclusion of women and their subsequent inclusion, highlighting the impact on theological discourse and practical religious settings. It argues that this shift is not just about gender equality but a fundamental transformation requiring a reevaluation of traditional doctrines.

 
The book's approach is both theoretical and practical, drawing from feminist theology, sociology of religion, and historical studies to analyze these changes. For example, the rise of feminist and liberation theologies has significantly influenced theological curricula. Through case studies and analysis of theological texts, the book demonstrates how women are reshaping religious thought and practice.

 
The book systematically progresses from outlining historical barriers to exploring shifts in theological education and analyzing case studies of women in leadership across different religious traditions. It culminates in a discussion of the implications for the future of religious institutions, addressing challenges and opportunities in becoming more inclusive spaces. This comprehensive analysis makes Religious Roles a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of gender, religion, and social change.

On IVF

Stephanie Gray Connors

In vitro fertilization (IVF)—the conceiving of new human beings in a laboratory—has become a widespread and international industry affecting millions upon millions of people. By some estimates, over eight million children in the US have been born as a result of this technology since 1978. But is it ethical to create human beings by science and not by sex? Is IVF inherently good or inherently evil? Or, perhaps, is it something that is sometimes right and other times wrong, depending on the circumstances? In this timely volume in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors engages both the mind and the heart in answering these increasingly urgent questions. Looking at the morality of IVF and the stories of people who have either embraced or refused it, On IVF will draw readers into the profound suffering of infertility and miscarriage, the difficulties and dangers of IVF, and the hope-filled alternatives that honor the dignity of human beings—both born and preborn.

Evolution to Purpose - Choosing...

Bryan Hong

Many never find happiness at work. Will you? 
Why are so many people unhappy at work, if they choose the work they do? After teaching as a professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ivey Business School in Canada, Bryan Hong shares his observations based on hundreds of conversations with his students before and after graduation. 
Although many don't realize it, unhappiness at work is a consequence of the way we've designed our society, especially our education system. Rather than prepare us for genuine success and happiness in life, most of us are never told what we need to know to answer even our most basic life questions. In this book, Dr. Hong shares what everyone who wants to be happier at work-and in life-should know. The first step begins with the most important lesson so many of us never learn in school: We must evolve to our true purpose. 
In this book, the author explores:How our society works to shape us in ways that will never lead to happiness at workWhat it truly means to have a strong sense of purpose at work, and why we all need it for a life beyond survival and pleasureHow we can evolve to purpose in a world where so many work without it 
What if there was much more to your life than what you've been told?

Don't Get Disbarred - Ethics &...

Morley Swingle

Don’t Get Disbarred is a must-read for every prosecutor in America. It teaches lawyers and law students how to stay out of trouble with state bar disciplinary authorities. As Warren Buffett says: “It takes twenty years to build your reputation, but only five minutes to lose it.” 
In this informative and often amusing book, veteran prosecutor and award-winning author Morley Swingle discusses hundreds of cases from all 50 states providing specific examples of prosecutors behaving badly and receiving everything from censure, reprimand, or suspension, to total disbarment. The misconduct arises from ethical lapses, sometimes occurring in a split second, and often resulting in catastrophic consequences for defendants. 
The misbehavior of these scoundrels, scalawags and screwups includes everything from intentionally putting on perjured testimony to practical jokes gone bad. 
Armed with 30 years of experience litigating criminal cases, Swingle, a former state and federal prosecutor, personally dealt with countless ethical choices faced by prosecutors toiling in the trenches of actual day-to-day litigation and case management. He knows the material as well as anyone in America. 
Reading this book will help prosecutors save their reputations. It will aid criminal defense lawyers and judges in recognizing prosecutorial misconduct when they see it. It will help prevent the tragedy of wrongful convictions. 
“Don’t Get Disbarred: Ethics & Professional Responsibility For Prosecutors is the best book ever written for prosecutors who want to follow the Rules of Professional Conduct and stay out of trouble themselves. Every prosecutor, no matter what level of experience or inexperience, should read it.”  Stephen Sokoloff, Missouri Office of Prosecution Services (Retired)

Where Things Touch - A...

Bahar Orang

Finalist for the 2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award

To devote oneself to the study of beauty is to offer footnotes to the universe for all the places and all the moments that one observes beauty. I can no longer grab beauty by her wrists and demand articulation or meaning. I can only take account of where things touch.
Part lyric essay, part prose poetry, Where Things Touch grapples with the manifold meanings and possibilities of beauty.
Drawing on her experiences as a physician-in-training, Orang considers clinical encounters and how they relate to the concept and very idea of beauty. Such considerations lead her to questions about intimacy, queerness, home, memory, love, and other aspects of human existence. Throughout, beauty is ultimately imagined as something inextricably tied to care: the care of lovers, of patients, of art and literature, and the various non-human worlds that surround us.
Eloquent and meditative in its approach, beauty, here, beyond base expectations of frivolity and superficiality, is conceived of as a thing to recover.Where Things Touch is an exploration of an essential human pleasure, a necessary freedom by which to challenge what we know of ourselves and the world we inhabit.
2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award Jury Citation:
"Tapestry-like in form, Orang's lyrical poetic essay stitches together an exploration of beauty and aesthetics that is woven with humility and relationality to other. Her immense sense of craft and confidence make for breath stopping moments, over and over, while at the same time filling the senses with powerful and piercing revelation. 'Reading,' she writes, 'is a kind of ecological activity'– and it is a privilege to situate yourself within Orang's topographies of love."
