From Mike Tyson to the Portland Trail Blazers to William Kennedy Smith, from Katie Roiphe’s "The Morning After" to the Antioch College policy, the issue of acquaintance, or "date", rape has captured our national attention in recent years. In a major contribution to current debates over the meaning of data rape and how it should be criminally punished, this volume brings together lawyers, philosophers, and feminists to explore "communicative sexuality" as a model for the condemnation of date rape. As a crime, rape is viewed more ambiguously than most other offences. As a social issue, rap

Who should qualify as disabled? The obese? Asymptomatic HIV-positive people? In 1990 a landmark piece of legislation was passed by Congress. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was based on the idea that equal rights can solve social problems associated with disability. Few acts have sparked as much debate in recent years, with many employers and program providers protesting--and litigating--against the burdensome costs of the act. On the other side, many of the Americans with disabilities and their advocates claim that the ADA doesn’t do enough, that only the most highly functi

Yet the claim persists that these human words in some way can become God’s message to these hearers. This collection of twenty-nine articles by international experts in the area of homiletics coincides with the revival of inte
