Gods Providential Work in Creation Before Life Began God has been present and active in creation from the moment he created it ex nihilo. Few Christians would question this claim, but its implications for ongoing theologyand science dialogues have not been fully explored. In this pathbreaking and field-advancing work, Ross Hastings brings his expertise in both scientific and theological disciplines to bear on the topic of divine providence in chemicalevolution. Based on the latest research in the developing field of chemical evolution and the work of theological giants such as Karl Barth, Hastings shows how God may have been providentially and non-competitively at work in the process by which simple prebiotic molecules gave rise to the complex molecules in the first living organisms. In God and Molecules, Hastings provides cutting-edge theological engagement with the developing scientific field of chemical evolution, advances the discussion in theology and science with this new integrative work, and offers a holistic alternative for thinking about chemical evolution that overcomes the binary of theology versus science. God and Molecules pushes toward new frontiers in theology and science and casts a compelling, integrative, and ultimately healing vision for how God has been lovingly involved in the developmental process of the earliest life on earth.

Bringing Integrity to the Stories Numbers Tell When we tell stories with numbers, we depend on the field of statisticsbut how do we know that those stories are true? Almost everything in life is connected to data, and thatdata can help us make sense of truth in a world that feels increasingly challenging to navigate as Christians. But in a world where we are told to "do our own research," it can be nearly impossible to know whether were just gravitating toward stories that confirm our own untested biases, or whether were analyzing the data in a way that is illuminating truth. Exploring a range of contemporary topics, professor of statistics Jason Wilson shows both non-experts and experts alike that statistics has something to say when it relates to the polarizing issues that we face today. Exploring topics such as gambling, Covid, and media bias, Wilson shows that the ways we collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data have something to say in conversation with the Christian faith. In Statistics and Faith, youll find examinations of contemporary issues using statistical concepts, tools, and theories; case studies from history that show how statistics can be used in ways that are helpful or harmful; application chapters based on over fifteen years of research; and reflection questions to help you explore how to do statistics with integrity. This book is ideal for professors seeking to help students explore the history and application of statistics from a Christian worldview as well as for Christians who are curious about how we understand truth through numbers. It serves as an idealsupplementary text for statistics courses and other disciplines that incorporate statistical methods, and it offers an insightful perspective on how statistics in conversation with Christian faith can speak to todays polarizing issues, empowering readers to discern truth through data in a noisy world.

The inspiring account of how Philip Harris took on the near-impossible challenge of turning around failing state schools.In 1986, the Harris Academy in Crystal Palace was a broken school, with a pass rate of 9 per cent, truancy of 60 per cent and teachers who seldom lasted longer than six months. Today, the Harris City Academy Crystal Palace is hailed as one of the best in the country.This transformation was the blueprint for a national education revolution. Harriss achievement paved the way for the academies movement, now accounting for nearly half of Englands schools.The same remarkable effect can be seen throughout the Harris Federation, the most successful multi-academy trust in England, which runs fifty-five state academies with 45,000 students and 5,000 staff. Every single one is rated Good or better by Ofsted, and seven were recently listed in an international report as World Class.The Harris revolution is also the story of the extraordinary improvement in our education system over the past twenty years. In 2009, England lagged at twenty-seventh in the world for maths and twenty-fifth for reading. In 2025, a PISA report showed it is the best-performing country in Europe and internationally trails only four nations.All Can Achieve reveals the inside story of how this phenomenal change was wrought.

Uma análise original e sensível da indumentária afro-brasileira ao longo dos anos.Em seu primeiro livro, a pesquisadora de moda Hanayrá Negreiros constrói um mapa afetivo das formas negras de vestir, lembrar, imaginar e existir. Vinda de uma familia atravessada ha geraçes pela costura e pela moda, a autora parte das fotografias de seus proprios antepassados para reconstruir historias, identidades e pertencimentos que o racismo tentou apagar.Durante a pandemia de covid-19, ao organizar a arvore genealogica da familia, Hanayra percebeu que as fotos que possuia guardavam muito mais do que lembranças: eram fragmentos de narrativas afrodiasporicas que precisavam ser revisitadas, celebradas e reinventadas. Assim nasceu este livro ao mesmo tempo ensaio, pesquisa e album de familias negras brasileiras.Ao revisitar imagens do passado e do presente, a autora transforma roupas em documentos vivos e a moda em ferramenta de combate ao apagamento sistemico. Negras maneiras de vestir e resultado de historias costuradas fio a fio em um tear de memorias afro-atlanticas. Um convite para transpor silencios, celebrar heranças e reconhecer, nas imagens e nas roupas, historias que carregam ancestralidade.
