Preface In this book, we consider algebra on directed graphs. From combinatorial objects, direct graphs, we establish corresponding algebraic objects which become groupoids. We call such groupoids graph groupoids. Connected with groupoid theory, we investigate the properties of graph groupoids. From this investigation, we can realize that graph groupoids act like the free groups in group theory. In other words, the study of graph groupoids is understood as groupoidal version of free-group theory. As application, we observe how graph groupoids are playing their role in different mathematical and scientific areas, including general groupoid theory, representation theory, automata theory, operator algebra (von Neumann algebra theory, C*-algebra theory, free probability, and index theory), noncommutative dynamical systems (groupoid dynamical systems), operator theory (spectral theory), fractal theory, information theory (entropy theory), |

and network theory, etc. We can check all operated groupoids (for instance, groupoid sums, product groupoids, quotient groupoids, etc) of graph groupoids are graph groupoids, too. This means that the study of operated groupoids of graph groupoids becomes nothing but studying other graph groupoids. It makes us easy to handle graph-groupoid related structures-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Black Church Studies Reader addresses the depth and breadth of Black theological studies, from Biblical studies and ethics to homiletics and pastoral care. The book examines salient themes of social and religious significance such as gender, sexuality, race, social class, health care, and public policy. While the volume centers around African American experiences and studies, it also attends to broader African |

continental and Diasporan religious contexts. The contributors reflect an interdisciplinary blend of Black Church Studies scholars and practitioners from across the country. The text seeks to address the following fundamental questions: What constitutes Black Church Studies as a discipline or field of study? What is the significance of Black Church Studies for theological education? What is the relationship between Black Church Studies and the broader academic study of Black religions? What is the relationship between Black Church Studies and local congregations (as well as other faith-based entities)? The book's search for the answers to these questions is compelling and illuminating. |
