Objects of Worship in South Asian Religions

Forms, Practices and Meanings

Objects of worship are an aspect of the material dimension of lived religion in South Asia. The omnipresence of these objects and their use is a theme which cuts across the religious traditions in the pluralistic religious culture of the region. Divine power becomes manifest in the objects and for the devotees they may represent power regardless of religious identity. This book looks at how objects of worship dominate the religious landscape of South Asia, and in what ways they are of significance not just from religious perspectives but also for the social life of the region. The contributions to the book show how these objects are shaped by traditions of religious aesthetics and have become conceptual devices woven into webs of religious and social meaning. They demonstrate how the objects have a social relationship with those who use them, sometimes even treated as being alive. The book discusses how devotees relate to such objects in a number of ways, and even if the objects belong to various traditions they may attract people from different communities and can also be contested in various ways. By analysing the specific qualities that make objects eligible for a status and identity as living objects of worship, the book contributes to an understanding of the central significance of these objects in the religious and social life of South Asia. It will be of interest to students and scholars of Religious Studies and South Asian Religion, Culture and Society.

The Worship Pastor

A Call to Ministry for Worship Leaders and Teams

Modern worship leaders are restless. They have inherited a model of leadership that equates leading worship with being a rock star. But leading worship is more than a performance, it's about shaping souls and making disciples. Every worship leader is really a pastor. The Worship Pastor is a practical and biblical introduction to this essential pastoral role. Filled with engaging, illustrative stories it is organized to address questions of theory and practice, striving to balance conversational accessibility with informed instruction. Part One presents a series of evocative "vignettes"--intriguing and descriptive titles and metaphors of who a Worship Pastor is and what he or she does. It shows the Worship Pastor as Church-Lover, Disciple Maker, Corporate Mystic, and Doxological Philosopher. Part Two covers specific roles related to ministry within the worship service itself--the Worship Pastor as Theological Dietician, Caregiver, Mortician, Emotional Shepherd, War General, Prophetic Guardian, Missional Historian, and Liturgical Architect. Part Three looks at ministry beyond the worship service--the Worship Pastor as Visionary Teacher, Evangelist, Artist Chaplain, and Team Leader. While some worship leaders are eager to embrace their pastoral role, many are lost and confused or lack the resources of time or money to figure out what this role looks like. Pastor Zac Hicks gives us a clear guide to leading worship, one that takes the pastoral call seriously.

We just never want them to downgrade into mere ritual— heartless practice. ... prayer rituals are, from scripted liturgy to unscripted spontaneity, your task is to determine how to continually reinspire these practices with meaning.

The Wealth of Religions

The Political Economy of Believing and Belonging

How religious beliefs and practices can influence the wealth of nations Which countries grow faster economically—those with strong beliefs in heaven and hell or those with weak beliefs in them? Does religious participation matter? Why do some countries experience secularization while others are religiously vibrant? In The Wealth of Religions, Rachel McCleary and Robert Barro draw on their long record of pioneering research to examine these and many other aspects of the economics of religion. Places with firm beliefs in heaven and hell measured relative to the time spent in religious activities tend to be more productive and experience faster growth. Going further, there are two directions of causation: religiosity influences economic performance and economic development affects religiosity. Dimensions of economic development—such as urbanization, education, health, and fertility—matter too, interacting differently with religiosity. State regulation and subsidization of religion also play a role. The Wealth of Religions addresses the effects of religious beliefs on character traits such as work ethic, thrift, and honesty; the Protestant Reformation and its long-term effects on education and religious competition; Communism’s suppression of and competition with religion; the effects of Islamic laws and regulations on the functioning of markets and, hence, on the long-term development of Muslim countries; why some countries have state religions; analogies between religious groups and terrorist organizations; the violent origins of the Dalai Lama’s brand of Tibetan Buddhism; and the use by the Catholic Church of saint-making as a way to compete against the rise of Protestant Evangelicals. Timely and incisive, The Wealth of Religions provides fresh insights into the vital interplay between religion, markets, and economic development.

Understanding the Political Economy of the Arab Uprisings

For the millions of citizens in the Arab World who came together in 2010–2011 to discover their common yearning for dignity and liberty, the real revolutions only began after the wave of protests. Understanding the Political Economy of the Arab Uprisings reassess the interests, potential and constraints of various socio-political players and their importance in the building of a constructive environment for democratic progress in the Middle East. Initiated by the Cairo-based Economic Research Forum and edited by Ishac Diwan, this invaluable volume features contributions by Middle East academics across the world. They examine the reasons behind the uprisings, how democratic transitions transpire, the role of Arab capitalism in the crises, and how the experiences of other countries such as Indonesia, Turkey and Iran, can forecast where these uprisings may lead the Middle East in the years to come.

KEWIRAUSAHAAN BERBASIS TEKNOLOGI 4.0

Saat ini, perguruan tinggi dituntut untuk menghasikan lulusan yang berdaya saing. Lulusan yang dihasilkan dituntut untuk mempunyai skill yang tinggi, baik hard skill dan dan soft skill. Untuk menghasilkan lulusan yang berkualitas, perguruan tinggi harus membuat kurikulum prima yang mengintegrasikan aspek afektif, kognitif, dan psikomotorik. Pendapat ini diamini oleh Godsell, yang menyatakan bahwa tujuan pendidikan tinggi salah satunya adalah mendidik mahasiswa untuk mandiri dalam arti memiliki mental yang kuat untuk melakukan usaha sendiri, tidak terbatas hanya sebagai pencari kerja (job seeker), tetapi justru sebagai pencipta lapangan pekerjaan (job creator). Di awal perkuliahan, hendaknya mahasiswa memiliki tujuan hidup/ impian. Dengan memiliki impian/tujuan ini, kemudian mahasiswa diarahkan untuk memiliki semangat menggapai tujuan hidupnya. Menurut seorang pakar pendidikan Nasution (2009), kebanyakan lulusan pendidikan menjadi pengangguran adalah akibat tidak memiliki impian dan tidak bersungguh- sungguh untuk meraihnya. Para ahli memberikan pengertian kewirausahaan yang berbedabeda: penciptaan organisasi baru (Gartner, 1988), menjalankan kombinasi (kegiatan) yang baru (Schumpeter, 1934), ekplorasi berbagai peluang (Kirzner, 1973), menghadapi ketidakpastian (Knight, 1921), dan mendapatkan secara bersama faktor-faktor produksi(Say, 1803). Kewirausahaan dipandang sebagai fungsi yang mencakup eksploitasi peluang - peluang yang muncul di pasar. Eksploitasi tersebut sebagian besar berhubungan dengan pengarahan dan atau kombinasi input yang produktif. Seorang wirausahawan selalu diharuskan menghadapi resiko atau peluang yang muncul, serta sering dikaitkan dengan tindakan yang kreatif dan innovatif. Wirausahawan adalah orang yang merubah nilai sumber daya, tenaga kerja, bahan dan faktor produksi lainnya menjadi lebih besar daripada sebelumnya dan juga orang yang melakukan perubahan, inovasi dan cara-cara baru. Selain itu, seorang wirausahawan menjalankan peranan manajerial dalam kegiatannya, tetapi manajemen rutin pada operasi yang sedang berjalan tidak digolongkan sebagai kewirausahaan. Seorang individu mungkin menunjukkan fungsi kewirausahaan ketika membentuk sebuah organisasi, tetapi selanjutnya menjalankan fungsi manajerial tanpa menjalankan fungsi kewirausahaannya. Jadi kewirausahaan dapat bersifat sementara atau kondisional.
