Resistance: Table of Contents电阻:目录

Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : October 4, 2006写的马克范steenwyk : 2006年10月4日

I submitted a proposal for my new book to a publisher yesterday.我提出了一份建议,为我的新著到Publisher昨天。 We’ll see if they bite.我们将会看到,如果他们咬的。 I decided to start with我决定开始与 Wipf & Stock wipf &股票 , because I appreciate the books they publish, the community (Church of the Servant King) that they’re connected with, and in particular because they published ,因为我很欣赏他们的书籍出版,社会(教会的仆人国王)表示,他们正在与,特别是因为他们出版 12 Marks of the New Monasticism 12马克的新修道 .

Here’s the proposed contents of my book, which I’m tentatively calling Resistance: Allegiance to Christ in the American Empire. I’ll include a brief description of what exactly I’m picking on within American culture for each chapter.这里的建议的内容,我的书,我暂定要求电阻:效忠基督在美帝国,我将包括一个简要说明,究竟我采摘对与美国文化的每一章。

Introduction: Against the world, for the world (If you’ve read Hauerwas, you know where I’m going with the introduction. If you haven’t, then read some of the comments 导言:对世界,为世界 (如果您已经阅读hauerwas ,你知道那里我会与导言,如果你没有,然后阅读的一些评论 here 这里 to get an idea). 获得一个想法) 。

Chapter 1: The Kingdom of God and the American Dream (This basically challenges the way in which Christians understand their identity within America. Nationalism, patriotism, and partisanship are enemies to living as citizens of the Kingdom. I know that some of you may disagreee with that statement, and indeed it depends upon how one defines these words.) 第1章:神的国度和美国梦 (这基本上是挑战,以何种方式了解他们的基督徒的身份与美国。民族主义,爱国主义,和党派是敌人的生活水平作为公民的王国,我知道你们有些人可能disagreee这种说法,事实上,它取决于如何界定这些话) 。

Chapter 2: Rugged Individuals Need a Hug (The critique against individualism has been pretty well developed. However, developing practices which resist individualism haven’t). 第2章:凹凸不平的个人需要一个拥抱 (批判反对个人主义已相当发达,但是,发展中国家的做法,抵制个人主义没有) 。

Chapter 3: The Consumption of Faith and the Faith of Consumption ( If you’ve read my blog for very long, you know I have alot to say about this. Here’s 第3章:消费信心和信念,消费如果您已经看过我的博客很长时间,你知道我有很多要说的这一点。这里的 one of my posts 我的一个职位 about the subject). 关于主题) 。

Chapter 4: Why Pragmatism Doesn?t Work (Americans are results oriented. We measure success quantitatively. We tend to justify our means through our ends. This can be seen everywhere from the seeker megachurch movement to our justification for bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki). 第四章:为什么不务实呢?吨的工作 (美国人注重成果,我们衡量成功的定量分析。我们倾向于理由,我们的手段,通过我们的目的。这是可以随处可见,从导引头megachurch运动,我们的理由,轰炸广岛和长崎) 。

Chapter 5: Going to War with Militarism (We live in a violent world in which America is the the most powerful nation. Christians must not buy into the myth that violence brings peace. We know that peace comes from Christ. So instead of partaking of the cycle of violence, we must resist violence, in all of its forms, with our peaceful presence.) 第5章:去战争与军国主义 (我们生活在一个暴力的世界中,美国是最强大的国家。基督徒绝不能购买到的神话暴力带来和平,我们知道,和平是来自基督,所以不是partaking的暴力的循环,我们必须抵制暴力,在其所有的形式,与我们和平的存在) 。

Conclusion: A Call to Resistance 结论:呼吁抵抗

My intention with this book is decidedly NOT to simply “bitch and moan.” While I certainly want to name some of the things that have erroded the counter-cultural nature of the Church in America, my goal is to move from critique to resistance.我打算与这本书是断然不会是简单的“荡妇和呻吟。 ”虽然我当然想名称的一些事有erroded反文化的性质,教会在美国,我的目标是从批判的阻力。 That is, I want to point out communities that are doing something about these systemic forces which errode the church and offer some ways that we can fight back, spiritually.这是,我想指出,社区正在做一件对这些系统的力量, errode教会,并提供一些方法,我们可以回击,精神上。 Our struggle is NOT against flesh and blood.我们的斗争是不反对血肉。 Our warfare is spiritual and requires spiritual, non-violent, resistance.我们的战争,是精神和规定的精神,非暴力,抵抗。 We must live as a counter cultural community.我们必须生活作为反文化社区。

So, readers, can you think of communities that embody resistance against these systemic forces–these “powers?” Your imput will help me in my research. 因此,读者,你能想到的社区,体现了抵制这些系统的力量,这些“权力” ? imput您能帮助我在我的研究。 I’d prefer it if you share communties that you KNOW about rather than have READ about. 我更希望它如果您与他人共用communties ,你知道,而不是阅读。

for further reading .为进一步读。 . .

    Your table of contents seems pretty good, although on the surface of things, I’d reccommend:您的表的内容似乎不错,虽然在表面上的东西,我要建议:
    1.) I’m not sure how you’re going to be able to make a whole chapter’s worth of material in order to fill up chapter 4 given your description. 1 )我不知道您如何去可以使一整章值得一提的材料,以填补了第4章给您的说明。 It seems like a good topic, but given your description, it’s either going to be your shortest chapter (which is going to be odd given that you have 5 chapters) or you might be able to find a way to integrate the material elsewhere.这似乎是一个很好的话题,但鉴于你的描述,它的不是要你在最短的章(这是要多考虑到您有5个章节)或您或许能够找到一种方法,结合其他材料。
    2.) you may want to re-tool your chapter 5 description, because it seems like it could be a book unto itsself. 2 。 ) ,您可能要重新工具,您的第5章的描述,因为它好像可以一本书所不欲, itsself 。 I’m sure when you write it, you’ll be able to tie it together, but since you’re still pitching it, you may want to think about how you can best present it in a way that people who aren’t familiar with you and your blog will be able to see.我敢肯定,当你将它写,您就可以配合起来,但由于您仍然俯仰它,您可能要想想如何可以最好的,目前这样一种方式的人谁不熟悉与你和你的博客将能够看到。

    Blorge, these descriptions aren’t the pitch I’ve given to Wipf & Stock, but are quickly thrown together for readers of my blog. blorge ,这些说明是不是音高我已经给wipf &股票,但正在迅速抛出共同为读者我的博客。 There is so much to write about pragmatism and “success” that I’m not worried about having much to say.有那么多写实用主义和“成功”我根本不担心有很多的话。 You’re right about chapter 5 being a book unto itself.您的权利,关于第五章被一本书,祂本身。 My goal for each of these chapters isn’t to lay out a big and complete case for resistance, but to lay a brief, yet solid, introductory case for resistance and then spend most of my time on praxis–drawing from examples that I hope to find and interact with in the coming months.我的目标分别为这些章节是不是奠定了大和完整的情况下,为抵抗,但奠定了简短的,但固体,介绍情况的阻力,然后花了我的大部分时间对实践-从绘画的例子,我希望找到并与其互动在未来的几个月中。

    Aha, I see now.啊哈,我现在看到的。 When I saw it on your blog, I was a bit concerned about whether your pitch would go very far.当我看到在你的博客上,我是有点关心是否您的音高会去很远。 I think it’s imortant for people to come out with pragmatic responses to Capitalism, etc. because so much of the stuff out there lies on the more theoretical side.我认为它的imortant的人出来与务实的反应,资本主义等,因为这么多的东西在那里,关键就较理论的一面。 Given that there is a growing conscern amongst Christians about things like poverty and the effects of globalism, but it is often difficult to really know what to do in concrete terms.鉴于有越来越多conscern当中,基督徒的事一样,贫穷和全球化的影响,但它是往往很难真正知道做什么,在具体条款。

    I think I’ve told you about Stllwater Catholic Worker, but they really do seem to fit your description on many levels.我觉得我已经告诉你,约stllwater天主教工人,但他们真的这样做似乎适合您的描述在许多层面上。 They meet on friday nights I think, they have a time of prayer, usually a speaker, and a meal together.他们举行会议,讨论周五夜,我觉得,他们有时间的祈祷,通常由一名议长,并一起吃一顿饭。 They meet at one of the two “houses” they set up for women who need short term shelter, 3months or so.他们满足于其中的两个“家” ,他们成立了妇女谁需要短期住房,三个月或如此。 Various topics the group has addressed: patriotism, soaring housing costs in Sitllwater and what to do about it, Mennonite experiences (given by me), etc. I’m not sure how they would enter into the pragmatism chapter but otherwise I think their community has something to offer all your chapters.各种专题的小组讨论:爱国主义,房价成本在sitllwater和怎样做的话,基督教门诺会的经验, (由于我所)等我不知道他们会如何进入务实章,但否则,我认为他们的社区有一些提供您所有的章节。

    Sounds like a great project mark.听起来像一个伟大工程的马克。
