Rediscover Humanitys Worth Through Christs Incarnation In our rapidly changing world, we face a rising tide of threats to our humanity. From artificial intelligence and the erosion of free speech to bioengineering and euthanasia, the humanistic values we cherish, like intrinsic human rights and the dignity of all persons, are increasingly at risk. We are in danger of losing our humanity without even realizing it.In response to such challenges in the past, Christian thinkers like Irenaeus, Luther, Bonhoeffer, Merton, and more rallied around the ideas of Christian humanism. But what is Christian humanism and why does it matter in this day and age? What Is Christian Humanism? is an inviting introduction to how humanistic values rooted in the incarnation of Jesus Christ can help us reclaim our humanity in all of life. Theologian Jens Zimmermann shows why "Christian" and "humanist" not only belong together, but argues that true humanism flows directly from the gospel and is impossible without Christianity.In What Is Christian Humanism? Zimmermann: defines Christian humanism as the greater Christian traditions interpretation of the gospel as Gods promise that we will achieve our full humanity in Christ; provides an inviting introduction to the ideas and history of the Christian humanist tradition and why it matters today; argues that the incarnation of Christ is central to understanding what it means to be human, offering an alternative to secular humanism; and demonstrates how Christian humanism can address the challenges in different areas of society, like art, technology, politics, and more. Perfect for those seeking a fresh way to engage the challenges of our day, this book demonstrates that our identity is found not in secular philosophies, but in Christs revolutionary act of the Incarnation. Christian humanism can help us recover the vision of what it means to be and become fully human in Christ, more important now than ever.

This book is a delight for anyone who has ever spent Christmas in the capital.

Over 50% of Irish people under 40 are either living with their parents or in share accommodation, unable to live either by themselves or with partners despite that being their preference. The housing crisis is often spoken of as a bubble, but economics professor Ronan Lyons argues that this metaphor is outdated. Rather, Ireland suffers from a brittle housing system, one that has lost the ability to respond to change. This groundbreaking book shows what that brittleness is doing to society, how it emerged and, most critically, how a healthier housing system can be built.

Museums are anything but wild. Historically, museums have functioned as key sites for the production of boundaries between nature and culture. Nature might be presented in form and image, but its processes must not be allowed to take hold within museum architecture. In a warming world, climate-controlled interiors are increasingly vulnerable to floods, fires, and power failures. In an effort to address environmental crises, artists chop through walls, fill them with dirt, and bring in insects, plants, and animals, while others leave the institution altogether to embrace the specificity of site. Audiences are drawn outside and off-screen, into zones that recalibrate norms of aesthetic attention. Rewilding the Museum explores a paradox that also lurks at the heart of restoration ecology: We cannot return to past fantasies of "nature." Rather, we must foster ecologies that support biodiversity and stable geophysical cycles. This book asks how artists and curators are working with and against exhibition infrastructures to elaborate contemporary ideas of nature.
