    Ashland Theological lournal35 (2003) Book Reviews .' The Leadership Bible, New International Version (Grand Rapids: The Zondervan ;Corporation, 1998). 1679 pages, paper, $24.99. The NIV Leadership Bible is one in a sea of different "life situation" Bibles that can be purchased from your favourite Christian book retailer. There seems to be . such a plethora of these Bibles, each with its own series of notes for the reader's edification, it is getting to the point where one might roll one's eyes and ask, "Another one?" This Bible, which is also available in hard cover, is replete with leadership tips and mini-studies, as well as a "unique home-page study system" which is laid out in three easy steps on the laminated bookmark, which comes with the Bible. One can use this method to engage in studies under the rubrics of personal development, skills, and relationships, with a great variety of sub-topics under each rubric. These studies are designed to last either one or two weeks and can be used in groups or in personal devotions. Among the "home-page" contents are studies in character, integrity, leader qualifications, wisdom, accountability, conflict management, decision making, time management, interpersonal relationships and servant leadership - all issues that matter to people who are in leadership, either in the church or in the world. There are suggested passages for memorization included in each weekly study. My own experience in following these different studies is that, while they are faithful to the texts they are set with, they tend to apply more to those who are involved in lay leadership, in the church or outside the church.

  • The Blessings of Business
    THE BLESSINGS OF BUSINESS: CORPORATE AMERICA AND CONSERVATIVE EVANGELICALISM IN THE SUNBELT AGE, 1945-2000 by DARREN ELLIOTT GREM (Under the Direction of James C. Cobb) ABSTRACT Scholars and pundits have often cast postwar conservative evangelicalism as a kind of doppelganger of liberal activism, as a grassroots expression of populist will against the social revolutions of the 1960s. In contrast, this dissertation argues that the rise of culturally and politically-engaged, conservative evangelicals first began in the midst of the New Deal state in the 1940s and 1950s and depended heavily on another will—the will of corporations and corporate actors, especially those working out of the economic and social context of an emergent, postwar “Sunbelt.” There, in the midst of a burgeoning regional economy that stretched from Georgia to Texas to California, a postwar generation of business leaders worked with evangelical leaders to resurrect the cause of religious, economic, and political conservatism in the midst of the early Cold War. In the 1960s and 1970s, as the Culture Wars heated up, they brought their faith, free market policies, and “family values” to the forefront of American public life. The blessings of business were everywhere—in the ministries of celebrity evangelists like Billy Graham and lay evangelists like R.G. LeTourneau; in corporate-funded missionary groups like Young Life, Campus Crusade for Christ, The Navigators, and Wycliffe Bible Translators; in independent evangelical colleges strung throughout the South and West; in everyday operations at thousands of small businesses and dozens of mass-market corporations; in evangelical-inspired “biblical success” books and in a cottage industry of evangelical-led entrepreneurial seminars; in evangelical culture industries and megachurches; and, most especially, in the careers of evangelical political leaders from Jerry Falwell to George W.

  • The Write Match: Women's Rhetorosociality in Online
    THE WRITE MATCH: WOMEN’S RHETOROSOCIALITY IN ONLINE DATING Stephanie Shawn Morgan A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Daniel Anderson Jane Danielewicz Jordynn Jack Todd Taylor Linda Wagner-Martin © 2011 Stephanie Shawn Morgan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT STEPHANIE SHAWN MORGAN: The Write Match: Women’s Rhetorosociality in Online Dating (Under the direction of Daniel Anderson) In writing studies, when we discuss sexuality in digital environments, we often focus on less-than-conventional arenas such as sex chat environments, pornography sites, or role-playing platforms. These studies often point out how users harness digital rhetoric to transcend their off-line experiences. In contrast, this study, through content analysis and qualitative research guided by actor-network-theory, this dissertation explores women’s experience with online dating and demonstrates the interconnectedness of the biosocial and technosocial realms to posit a rhetorosocial realm that acts on human and nonhuman components of a network, and is acted on in turn. In Chapter 1, Researching, I discuss the qualitative methods I used to gather intelligence on how the women who participated in my study used online dating and outline my central concern with the interaction between the rhetorosocial, technosocial and biosocial realms . In Chapter 2, Representing, I explore how the technosociality of the online dating site eHarmony polices user experiences by enforcing rhetorosocial constraints that privilege scientific expertise and romantic master narratives to convert single people into stabilized married couples; I also explore how users resist this policing.
