Examination of pilgrimage in the Old and New Testaments provides a grounding for thinking through pilgrimage theologically. Literary, missiological and sociological perspectives are explored, and the book concludes by examining how such a theology could change our practice of pilgrimage today, raising such questions as how tourism to the Holy Land should reflect the situation in the region today. Pilgrims, students and all interested in contemporary pilgrimage will find this accessible book a valuable articulation of the different elements in a Christian theology of pilgrimage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"21Five Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39701136900280,"sku":"9780754608561","price":102.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/0024\/7224\/files\/713VtqrHPkL._SL1360.jpg?v=1752767342"},{"product_id":"where-mortals-dwell","title":"Where Mortals Dwell","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;Place is fundamental to human existence.

Yet just as much as it is a source of visual splendor and riveting storylines, manga —the herald of the exotic and über-hip — stimulates intense philosophical interest. Drawing from Japanese art traditions, influenced by the impact of World War II, and a significant player in cross-cultural exchange, manga has rapidly become a literary force worldwide. Readers of all ages eagerly await the next installment of their favorite manga series and delight in discovering new titles. Manga and Philosophy joins the lively discussion about manga by examining some of its major forms (lolicon toshonen toshojo), best titles (Death Note to Space Battleship Yamato to Gunslinger Girl), and the cultural factors surrounding it. Can demons be good? Is it morally wrong to sexualize schoolgirls? What do giant robots teach us about the ethics of war? All of these questions and more are dealt with professionally and accessibly, making Manga and Philosophy all but indispensable for fans and scholars alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"21Five Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39721372614840,"sku":"9780812696790","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/0024\/7224\/files\/51g-1G5fbIL.jpg?v=1752767054"},{"product_id":"downton-abbey-and-philosophy","title":"Downton Abbey and Philosophy: Thinking In That Manor","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"In Downton Abbey and Philosophy, twenty-two professional thinkers uncover the deeper significance of this hugely popular TV saga.

Our increasingly fast-paced world seems more and more remote from the world narrated in Scripture. But despite its pervasiveness, there remains a dearth of theological reflection about computer technology and what it means to live as a faithful Christian in a digitally-saturated society. In this thoughtful and timely book, Derek Schuurman provides a brief theology of technology, rooted in the Reformed tradition and oriented around the grand themes of creation, fall, redemption and new creation. He combines a concise, accessible style with penetrating cultural and theological analysis. Building on the work of Jacques Ellul, Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman, and drawing from a wide range of Reformed thinkers, Schuurman situates computer technology within the big picture of the biblical story. Technology is not neutral, but neither is there an exclusively \"Christian\" form of technological production and use. Instead, Schuurman guides us to see the digital world as part of God's good creation, fallen yet redeemable according to the law of God. Responsibly used, technology can become an integral part of God's shalom for the earth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"21Five Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39722285564088,"sku":"9780830827138","price":23.15,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/0024\/7224\/files\/shaping-digital-world.jpg?v=1752766943"},{"product_id":"words-and-witnesses","title":"Words and Witnesses: Communication Studies in Christian Thought from Athanasius to Desmond Tutu","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"How should Christians address specific problems, controversies, and crises in communication today?
