Old and New in Christian Reformation -- Conclusion: From Film to Book- Dianoia and Noesis -- Notes -- References -- IndexThis book examines the charismatic Christian reformation presently underway in Botswana's time of AIDS and the moral crisis that divides the church between the elders and the young, apostolic faith healers. Richard Werbner focuses on Eloyi, an Apostolic faith-healing church in Botswana's capital. Werbner shows how charismatic "prophets"-holy hustlers-diagnose, hustle, and shock patients during violent and destructive exorcisms. He also shows how these healers enter into prayer and meditation and take on their patients' pain and how their ecstatic devotions create an aesthetic in which beauty beckons God. Werbner challenges theoretical assumptions about mimesis and empathy, the power of the word, and personhood. With its accompanying DVD, Holy Hustlers, Schism, and Prophecy integrates textual and filmed ethnography and provides a fresh perspective on ritual performance and the cinematic.The Anthropology of ChristianityPentecostal churches --Botswana --GaboronePentecostal churchesChurch historyBotswanaGaboroneGaborone (Botswana)Gaborone (Botswana)Church historyElectronic books.Pentecostal churches --Botswana --Gaborone.Pentecostal churchesChurch history276.883 083Werbner Richard, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut658354DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910459579503321Holy Hustlers, Schism, and Prophecy2469916UNINA03298nam 2200601 a 450 991014105420332120230801221243.01-283-29474-597866132947461-118-11636-41-118-11637-21-118-11634-8(CKB)2670000000121937(EBL)693242(OCoLC)761321520(SSID)ssj0000533605(PQKBManifestationID)11364374(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000533605(PQKBWorkID)10491897(PQKB)11078613(MiAaPQ)EBC693242(Au-PeEL)EBL693242(CaPaEBR)ebr10503012(CaONFJC)MIL329474(EXLCZ)99267000000012193720110419d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccr20% chance of rain[electronic resource] exploring the concept of risk /Richard B.

Risk applications require a robust knowledge of many attributes of this seemingly simple subject. This book teaches the reader through examples and case studies the fundamental (and subtle) aspects of risk - regardless of the specific situation. The text allows the reader to understand the concept of risk analysis while not getting too involved in the mathematics; in this method the reader can apply these techniques across a wide range of situations.The second edition includes new examples from NASA and several other industries as well as new case studies from legal databases. The many real-life discussion topics enable the reader to form an understanding of the concepts of risk and risk management and apply them to day-to-day issues"--Provided by publisher.Risk assessmentRisk assessment.302/.12TEC009000bisacshJones Richard B(Richard Bradley),1947-998917MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK991014105420332120% chance of rain2291714UNINA
