The Future is a perennial topic of interest, especially as it relates to the possible demise of humanity and this world we live in. Join us as we peer into what the Bible says about a time of unprecedented natural disasters and plagues of disease. Examine the instant disappearance of millions of people, and discover the final destination of humanity. In this book there are no wild notions or government conspiracy theories, just a basic, honest look at the future as it is spelled out in the Bible. Along the way we will find that knowledge of the future creates a responsibility in the present. "I have traditionally shied away from the subject of eschatology-because it generally degenerates into endless arguments about things that can never be fully known. Phil's work affords a different (and refreshing) perspective. He offers a reasonable interpretation of end time material, with a unique orientation toward present day application. I believe you will find his work equally readable, helpful, and inspiring."-Pieter K. Van WaardePastor, Woodcrest Chapel "Philip McCarty does a great job of taking a Book that has been deemed controversial and not comprehendible by the masses and made it very understandable and practical for day to day living. I highly recommend this book!"-Dr. Randy DignanPastor, Bible Baptist Church
Climate Change as Social Drama looks at the cultural sociology of climate change in public communication.
The ability to deploy interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives that speak to interconnected global dimensions is critical if one’s work is to be relevant and applicable to the emerging global-scale issues of our time. The Global Turn is a guide for students and scholars across all areas of the social sciences and humanities who wish to embark on global-studies research projects. The authors demonstrate how the global can be studied from a local perspective and vice versa. They show how global processes manifest at multiple levels—transnational, regional, national, and local—all of which are interconnected and mutually constitutive. This book takes readers through the steps of thinking like a global scholar in theoretical, methodological, and practical terms, and it explains the implications of global perspectives for research design.
