The King James Bible
by David NortonThe King James Bible was the result of an extraordinary effort over nearly a century to make many good English translations and turn them into what the translators called 'one principal good one, not justly to be excepted against'. David Norton traces the work of Tyndale and his successors, analysing the translation and revisions of two representative passages. His fascinating new account follows in detail the creation of the KJB, including attention to the translators' manuscript work. He also examines previously unknown evidence such as the diary of John Bois, the only man who made notes on the translation. At the centre of the book is a thorough discussion of the first edition. The latter part of the book traces the printing and textual history of the KJB and provides a concise account of its changing scholarly and literary reputations.

King and Messiah as Son of God: Divine, Human, and Angelic Messianic Figures in Biblical and Related Literature
by Adela Yarbro Collins John J. CollinsThis book traces the history of the idea that the king and later the messiah is Son of God, from its origins in ancient Near Eastern royal ideology to its Christian appropriation in the New Testament. Both highly regarded scholars, Adela Yarbro Collins and John J. Collins argue that Jesus was called &“the Son of God&” precisely because he was believed to be the messianic king. This belief and tradition, they contend, led to the identification of Jesus as preexistent, personified Wisdom, or a heavenly being in the New Testament canon. However, the titles Jesus is given are historical titles tracing back to Egyptian New Kingdom ideology. Therefore the title &“Son of God&” is likely solely messianic and not literal. King and Messiah as Son of God is distinctive in its range, spanning both Testaments and informed by ancient Near Eastern literature and Jewish noncanonical literature.

Kindheit und Kindheitsforschung intersektional denken: Theoretische, empirische und praktische Zugänge im Kontext von Bildung und Erziehung (Kinder, Kindheiten und Kindheitsforschung #26)
by Raphael Bak Claudia MacholdDer Band befasst sich mit der Bedeutung gesellschaftlicher Differenz- und Ungleichheitsverhältnisse für Kindheit und die Lebensweisen von Kindern. Die Beiträge des Bandes bearbeiten erstens die Frage, inwiefern die erziehungs- und sozialwissenschaftliche Kindheitsforschung diese Verhältnisse in ihrer Intersektionalität bereits betrachtet bzw. welches Potenzial in einer intersektional gedachten Kindheitsforschung liegt. Zweitens nehmen sie in den Blick, inwiefern Differenz, Ungleichheit und Diskriminierung in pädagogischen Kontexten der Kindheit relevant sind und dort in pädagogisch-programmatischer, professioneller und politischer Hinsicht bearbeitet werden.
Kindheit in der Kindheitsforschung: Empirische Problemfelder – Deleuze´sche Antworten (Kinder, Kindheiten und Kindheitsforschung #29)
by Markus KlugeDie empirische Untersuchung von Kindheitscharakterisierungen in der Kindheitsforschung gibt Einblick in die spannungsgeladene Grundstruktur des Feldes. Statt übergeordneter Gegenstandsauffassungen finden sich wiederkehrende Fragen, denen mit verschiedenen, sich auch widersprechenden Antworten begegnet wird. Die Bedeutung einer Hinwendung zur Philosophie von Gilles Deleuze liegt weniger darin, diese Grundstruktur mit den zentralen und verheißungsvollen Konzepten des Werdens und des Gefüges zu greifen, als ausgehend von solchen Problemen neue Begriffe zu bilden.

Bei unterschiedlichen disziplinären Zugängen, die spezifisch für die heterogene ethnografische Forschungslandschaft in der Schweiz sind, teilen alle Beiträge dieses Bandes zwei kindheitstheoretische Prämissen: Sie begreifen ‚Kindheit‘ erstens als ein interaktiv, praktisch oder diskursiv hervorgebrachtes Phänomen, das wesentlich durch institutionelle Arrangements geprägt und bedingt ist und verstehen dabei zweitens Bildung als integralen Teil der gesellschaftlichen Institutionalisierung von Kindheit.

Kindgerechte Räumlichkeiten: Dokumentarische Rekonstruktion handlungsleitender Orientierungen von Tagespflegepersonen
by Stephanie KarcherDer Titel der Studie „kindgerechte Räumlichkeiten“ greift die gesetzliche Bezeichnung angemessener räumlicher Gestaltung von Pflegestellen der Kindertagespflege auf. Die Betreuung von Kindern durch Tageseltern gilt als zeitlich flexible und familiennahe Alternative bzw. Ergänzung zur Bildung und Betreuung von Kindern in Kindertageseinrichtungen.Dabei sind „kindgerechte Räumlichkeiten“ im Verhältnis zum Wohnraum der aufnehmenden Familien zu entwickeln. Das qualitative Forschungsprojekt stellt dokumentarisch rekonstruierte, handlungsleitende Orientierungen von Tagespflegepersonen hinsichtlich der räumlich-materiellen Gestaltung ihrer Pflegestellen vor. Ziel der Studie ist es einerseits, die Perspektive von Tagespflegepersonen im Diskurs um die Weiterentwicklung der Kindertagespflege sichtbar zu machen. Andererseits wird die Methode der dokumentarischen Fotoanalyse zur Bestimmung der in der Materialität und Räumlichkeit zum Ausdruck kommenden sozialen Sinnhaftigkeit ausgelotet.

Auf diese Weise entsteht dahingehend eine interdisziplinäre Gesamtschau, wie und in welchen Kontexten (u.a. in der Erziehungswissenschaft, Sozialwissenschaft, Kindheitsforschung, Fachdidaktik) Kinderzeichnungen zum Gegenstand werden und welchen Potenzialen und (erkenntnistheoretischen) Grenzen hierbei begegnet wird.
Kinderschutzbezogene Zusammenarbeit: Praktiken der Differenzierung und Entdifferenzierung (Kasseler Edition Soziale Arbeit #22)
by Carina FischerCarina Fischer untersucht Strukturen und Modi der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Allgemeinen Sozialen Diensten und Kindertageseinrichtungen nach § 8a SGB VIII. Die Studie konzentriert sich dabei auf den Umgang mit und die Bewältigung von Differenzen in der kinderschutzbezogenen Zusammenarbeit. Mittels eines qualitativ-rekonstruktiven Forschungszugangs können verschiedene Deutungs- und Handlungsmuster gebildet werden, die sich durch eine spezifische Kombination aus Praktiken der Differenzierung und Entdifferenzierung auszeichnen, die wiederum auf den Wissensbeständen der Fachkräfte beruhen sowie auf deren beruflicher Identität. Aus den Ergebnissen werden kooperationshinderliche und -förderliche Faktoren abgeleitet, deren Bedeutung über die Zusammenarbeit der analysierten Berufsgruppen hinausweist.
Kindermedien und Rassismuskritik: Wie Schwarze Kinder die Reproduktion von Rassismus in TKKG-Hörspielen wahrnehmen (Pädagogische Professionalität und Migrationsdiskurse)
by Adolé Akue-DoviDie Hörspielreihe TKKG erfreut sich seit den 1980er Jahren großer Beliebtheit. Doch insbesondere in den ersten Folgen finden sich zahlreiche stereotype Zuschreibungen und diskriminierende Begrifflichkeiten. Die unreflektierte Verwendung von Kinder- und Jugendmedien, die rassistische Sprache und Stereotype reproduzieren, kann bei jungen Konsument*innen einen diskriminierenden Sprachgebrauch festigen und gleichzeitig verletzend und ausschließend wirken. Auf dieser Problematik aufbauend wurden in dem rassismuskritischen empirischen Band junge Schwarze Hörer*innen selbst befragt, ob und wie sie die Reproduktion von Rassismus in der Hörspielreihe TKKG wahrnehmen. Die gewonnenen Einblicke in die Erfahrungswelt und Wahrnehmung junger Schwarzer Menschen machen deutlich, dass eine rassismuskritische Auseinandersetzung mit Sprache und den vermittelten Weltbildern in Kinder- und Jugendmedien dringend fokussiert werden muss.
The Kindergarten Wars: The Battle to Get into America's Best Private Schools
by Alan EisenstockTHE KINDERGARTEN WARS is the first narrative nonfiction book ever to take the reader inside all aspects of the private school application process. Eisenstock follows several families across the country from their first school tours until the moment they open their admissions letters. He interviews admissions directors, school heads, teachers, educational consultants, and kindergarten tutors, who coach both parents and kids. Did you know the most important line in your child's application is where you-the parent-went to college? Did you know that you can qualify for financial aid even if you make $192,000 a year? Eisenstock uncovers startling information, starting with how private school admissions directors decide who gets in. Does the child of a single woman of ethnic diversity on financial aid have a better chance of getting into an elite kindergarten than a child of a middle-class white couple? He will ask Ivy League students, their parents, and their admissions counselors the $500,000 question: Does where you go to kindergarten ultimately help you get into the most prestigious colleges? At its core, THE KINDERGARTEN WARS is a human drama. It's the story of a quest and the people who are vying for the prize-a space in private school kindergarten-at any cost. The book is honest, funny, suspenseful, and emotional.
