Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Caregiver, educator, trustee of institutional traditions, public religious voice and, occasionally, prophet: in an increasingly multifaith, multicultural, global world, the role of the college or university chaplain has changed. This book examines experiences and perspectives that arise at t…he intersection of religious practice, distinct campus culture, student counselling and the secular context of the modern academic institution. Contributors who are actively engaged in the work of college chaplaincy-from educational institutions as diverse as Stanford University, Williams College, Jesuit-affiliated Creighton University and Louisiana's historically black Dillard University, and from many faith traditions-explore the practice, theology and joys of campus ministry and the chaplain's calling to support, challenge, stir the imagination of and address this generation's urgent longing for connection and meaning. Contributors who are actively engaged in the work of college chaplaincy explore the many aspects of campus ministry: navigating the secular academy as religious professionals, supporting students' increasingly hyphenated religious identities and more. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Marbled endpapers. Armorial bookplate on front pastedown. Interior is clean with some occasional light foxing. pp. [2], (3)-271. A volume o…f letters by Anne Berkeley (c. 1707-1786), wife of philosopher Bishop Berkeley (George Berkeley), addressed to Adam Gordon (c. 1745-1817). The matter includes her arguments against the free-thinkers, who here husband also attacked, and references Shaftesbury, Hume, Voltaire, Bolingbroke, and Rousseau. In addition to addressing various theological and philosophical matters, Anne largely waxes upon the importance of Christian education and morality. According to the Berkeley scholar Stefan Gordon Storrie, Anne's correspondence here started around 1764, when Anne was approaching her sixties and Adam Gorden was still a young man. Volume I is divided into two parts: [a] the Preface by the editor, Rev. Adam Gordon, Rector of Hinxworth, which is dated December 18, 1790; and [b] 31 of the 41 letters by Anne Berkeley. [For reference, Volume II, which is not offered, included [a] the final ten letters by Anne, [b] the ''Anniversary Addresses from a father to his son, on his birthday,'' by Adam Gordon, and [c] ''Six letters to a Lady of Quality,'' by the historian and Christian mystic, Nathaniel Hooke.].

Bin…dings lightly worn and soiled, spines faded from blue to green, contents clean, generally a very good set. First and only edition. "An attempt at the proof of the descent of the Arabs from Ishmael" (Ghani), based on the analysis of the pre-Islamic inscriptions uncovered in the Hadhramaut. Includes an interesting attack on Edward Gibbon's 'geographical' explanation for the rise of Islam out of Mecca; Forster denounces Gibbon's "scepticism" and "artful insinuations" by pointing out some of his errors in historical geography, meanwhile defending the claim of a Scriptural prophecy in favour of the descendants of Ishmael. Forster (1787-1871) was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, and a protege of Bishop John Jebb (1775-1833); although he did not live to know it, he was also grandfather to the novelist E.M. Forster. After assisting Jebb as curate and later as chaplain, Forster became rector of Sisted in Essex and one of the Six Preachers in Canterbury Cathedral. His first book, the controversially conciliatory Mahometasim Unveiled, appeared in 1829.

Dark green cloth with blind-stamped ruling and gilt illustration with reverse lettering on front, gilt lettering and blind-stamped ruling on spines, with additional sleeve with gilt lettering… on cover housing a large (36 x 24"), linen-backed fold-out chart comparing 45 different ancient alphabets. Frontispiece engraving. Including "The Voice of Israel, From the Rocks of Sinai: and the Vestiges of Patriarchal Tradition from the Monuments of Egypt, Etruria, and Southern Arabia. With Illustrative Plates, A Harmonized Table of Alphabets, Glossaries, and Translations." lllustrated throughout in offset exquisite lithographs of artwork in text, on plates and multiple fold-outs. Forster, one of the six preachers of the Cathedral of Canterbury, and rector of Stisted, Essex, expounds on the interrelatedness of knowledge transmitted through a common ancient Egyptian language source. He believes that ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and the Semitic alphabet have pictographic commonality that was then passed to Christianity. The third volume map is titled A Harmony of Primeval Alphabets. It compares the alphabets of Hebrew from Ethiopia, Arabic, Rosetta Enchorial Alphabet, the Etruscan Alphabet, and 39 other from around the world, even South America. The letters are organized by chart divided by language and type of letter. For example, you can see A, and scroll your eyes across the page to see all the various forms of the letter A, from every civilization from Babylonian to Celtiberian. Some wear along edges, small bumps and rubbed. Spine of vol. 1 frayed at head and tail, small chips at top and middle back joint. Small sticker in left upper corner of inside front cover with handwritten number. Vol. 2 covers rubbed, starting at inside cover and small ink blots on free front endpaper.
