Book Synopsis What the Buddha Taught by : Walpola Rahula
Download or read book What the Buddha Taught written by Walpola Rahula and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A terrific introduction to the Buddha’s teachings.” —Paul Blairon, California Literary Review This indispensable volume is a lucid and faithful account of the Buddha’s teachings. “For years,” says the Journal of the Buddhist Society, “the newcomer to Buddhism has lacked a simple and reliable introduction to the complexities of the subject. Dr. Rahula’s What the Buddha Taught fills the need as only could be done by one having a firm grasp of the vast material to be sifted. It is a model of what a book should be that is addressed first of all to ‘the educated and intelligent reader.’ Authoritative and clear, logical and sober, this study is as comprehensive as it is masterly.” This edition contains a selection of illustrative texts from the Suttas and the Dhammapada (specially translated by the author), sixteen illustrations, and a bibliography, glossary, and index. “[Rahula’s] succinct, clear overview of Buddhist concepts has never been surpassed. It is the standard.” —Library Journal
Book Synopsis Third Palestine by : Kenneth C. Gutwein
Download or read book Third Palestine written by Kenneth C. Gutwein and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Third Palestine: A Regional Study in Byzantine Urbanization, unlocks the mystery of civilization in the Negev Desert of Israel in antiquity. What was the reason for the development of towns and cities in this arid zone, and why did its residents construct magnificent churches and edifices, are questions that this work seeks to answer. How did the inhabitants of this civilization work and live, and why did they achieve wealth and prosperity, are issues which chart the course of the book. Professor Gutwein, who has spent over a decade in the Middle East, interprets the remains of Christian churches and towns in this region, all the while focusing upon the historical documents and sources to analyze these questions. The land of the region, its historical geography, and provincial framework, are all investigated; while original maps, charts, and illustrations guide the reader through sites history has long forgotten. The urban framework of the province the Romans called Third Palestine is clearly illuminated in this work, and town sites and urban architecture are analyzed in depth. Third Palestine investigates the commercial role of the myriad cities and towns in the region by detailing the pilgrim trade, and the lucrative trade in spices. In addition, the military importance of the province is not neglected by the author, who uncovers remains of frontier defense, roads, and garrisons. With a list of 36 figures, and 11 tables, Third Palestine brings to light an important, yet previously neglected ancient civilization.

Book Synopsis 101 Questions and Answers on the Four Last Things by : Joseph T. Kelley
Download or read book 101 Questions and Answers on the Four Last Things written by Joseph T. Kelley and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Kelley has written a short, accessible, thorough introduction to, and overview of, Christian teaching on death, judgment, hell and heaven, called in theology the "four last things." Presented in the popular 101 Questions format, this book shows how these four topics, also referred to as "Christian eschatology," have their ancient roots in the sacred books of the Hebrew Scriptures, especially in the later writings known as apocalyptic literature. The New Testament receives and builds upon Jewish thought and piety, finding in Jesus Christ a new revelation about the meaning of death, the nature of judgment, and God's desire that all be saved and united through Christ in heaven. Kelley clearly presents the major theological ideas about the four last things that have emerged in Christian history, as well as the sacramental and pastoral practices surrounding death. Questions range from the simple What makes a cemetery Catholic? to Does the Church believe in reincarnation? to What do other religions say about judgment? and What does it mean to say that Jesus sits at God's right hand in heaven? This one-step guide to Catholic teaching on death, judgment, heaven, and hell is a one-of-a-kind book and will make informative, fascinating reading for high school, college, and graduate courses in theology, religion, psychology, social work, counseling, and ministry, especially death and dying courses. Also, adult education and parish study groups on death and dying as well as Christian support groups for bereavement. +

Book Synopsis Buddhism without Beliefs by : Stephen Batchelor
Download or read book Buddhism without Beliefs written by Stephen Batchelor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A national bestseller and acclaimed guide to Buddhism for beginners and practitioners alike In this simple but important volume, Stephen Batchelor reminds us that the Buddha was not a mystic who claimed privileged, esoteric knowledge of the universe, but a man who challenged us to understand the nature of anguish, let go of its origins, and bring into being a way of life that is available to us all. The concepts and practices of Buddhism, says Batchelor, are not something to believe in but something to do—and as he explains clearly and compellingly, it is a practice that we can engage in, regardless of our background or beliefs, as we live every day on the path to spiritual enlightenment.
