Academic Justice? (Scholar’s Compass)

March 26, 2015 by Brian Dennison No Comments

The stories are heartbreaking, but they are also the substantive content I am seeking. I am collecting stories of pain and injustice. Of course the overriding hope is that these stories can bring about positive change. Yet the fact remains that injustice is a building block of my research project.

Re-Interpreting Our Explanation Systems (Scholar’s Compass)

March 19, 2015 by Chinyere Priest 7 Comments

Job’s colleagues explained his misfortune or calamity using moral causal ontology: they said that he was suffering due to his sin. This led several to put blame on Job, which compounded his suffering through his friends’ inability to lament with him and provide succor for him. The loss of Job’s flock, wealth, children, and health were used as evidence that he had sinned.

Scholar’s Compass: God Was the First to Cry, Part 2

March 5, 2015 by Lauri Swann No Comments

Yes, God was the first to cry. Just like God was the first to set His face upon evil to (Leviticus 20:6); to stretch out his hand (Isaiah 23:11), to be sorry (Genesis 6:6) and to grieve (1 Samuel 15:35). God cried and cries. Why? And for whom?

Scholar’s Compass: God Was the First To Cry, Part 1

March 3, 2015 by Lauri Swann 1 Comment

In the movie Selma, Martin Luther King, Jr. is seen consoling Mr. Cager Lee, an 82 year old man, who is in the morgue identifying the body of his grandson, Jimmy Lee Jackson. Jimmy, killed in 1965 during a peaceful protest in Selma, Alabama by a state trooper, was only 27 years old.
