George H.W. Bush: Faith, Presidency, and Public Theology
2014Co-Authors: Kjell O. LejonAbstract:This book is the first to explore the Religious Dimension of President George H. W. Bush. Also, the author, re-conceptualizes the common use of civil religion in order to understand more fully the Religious Dimension of Bush's presidency, and thus argues for the need to highlight the Religious rhetoric of President George H. W. Bush as a public theology, or more specifically, a presidential public theology.

The China Diary : A Brief Comment on the Spiritual Dimension of George H.W. Bush’s tenure in China according to The China Diary
2012Co-Authors: Kjell O. LejonAbstract:The Religious Dimension of George H.W. Bush has often been overlooked by his biographers. However, the entries in Bush’s The China Diary along with his official comments on his experiences in China as President of the U.S., show clearly that Bush stands not only in a tradition which stresses the importance of Christian faith, Christian liturgy and Christian hymns, but also in a sort of Evangelical tradition, in which you openly both speak about and act on your faith. The imprint of the China experience is evident, both politically and spiritually, and the entries are congenial with, for example, the very clear Religious Dimension in the politics of Bush Sr. as President of the United States.

The Religious Dimension To Intercultural, Values And Citizenship Education: A Call For Methodological Re-Consideration In Zimbabwe's Religious Education Curriculum
Zimbabwe Journal of Educational Research, 2012Co-Authors: Godfrey MusekaAbstract:Because of her history, post colonial Zimbabwe is characterised by diverse and heterogeneous Religious and cultural beliefs and practices. Some of these beliefs and practices, as well as norms and customs, are inextricably bound to particular Religious traditions and philosophies such as African Traditional Religion, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Bahai Faith, Taoism and Confucianism. Despite the multiplicity of this country’s Religious contours, the Religious education curriculum has sadly remained neo-confessional to a large extent. In this pluralistic environment, the inhabitants have to grapple with issues of moral decadence, individualism, identity crises, intolerance, cultural concubinage, among others, yet the Zimbabwe’s Religious education curriculum cosmetically rather than radically addresses these vices. The curriculum is not consistent with the cultural diversity of this society. It is against this backdrop that this study assumes that a paradigm shift in terms of methodology in the teaching and learning of Religious education can promote intercultural, values and citizenship issues with the view of counteracting the aforementioned anomalies and disorientations. Informed by ‘modern’ approaches in the teaching and learning of Religious education, such as phenomenology, dialogue, multi-faith, interpretive and Religious literacy, this paper explores the Religious Dimension to intercultural, values and citizenship education. Although these concepts are related to several other disciplines such as philosophy, linguistics, anthropology and history, this study is solely interested in their relationship to Religious education.

Alcoholism Risk Moderation by a Socio-Religious Dimension
Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2007Co-Authors: Jon Randolph Haber, Theodore JacobAbstract:Objective: Religious affiliation is inversely associated with the development of alcohol-dependence symptoms in adolescents, but the mechanisms of this effect are unclear. The degree to which Religious affiliations accommodate to or differentiate from cultural values may influence attitudes about alcohol use. We hypothesized that, given permissive cultural norms about alcohol in the United States, if a Religious affiliation differentiates itself from cultural norms, then high-risk adolescents (those with parents having a history of alcoholism) would exhibit fewer alcohol-dependence symptoms compared with other affiliations and nonReligious adolescents. Method: A sample of female adolescent offspring (N = 3,582) in Missouri was selected. Parental alcoholism and Religious affiliation and their interaction were examined as predictors of offspring alcohol-dependence symptoms. Results: Findings indicated that (1) parental alcohol history robustly predicted increased offspring alcohol-dependence symptoms, (2) r...
