Book Synopsis Jesus, Lover of My Soul by : Julian Hardyman
Download or read book Jesus, Lover of My Soul written by Julian Hardyman and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you long for a closer, deeper walk with God? Would you like to know more about what the Bible says about spiritual intimacy? We say we know about God's love in our heads, but has it really percolated through to our hearts? The Bible employs the metaphor of Christ, the Lover, and believers, his beloved. Yet this rich relationship potential is relatively unexplored in modern popular books, and we are the poorer for it. Using Song of Songs and other Bible sources, the author explores the dynamics of our relationship. We come to understand more fully what it is for Christ to love us and for us to love him. This portrayal of the living dynamics of a believer's relationship with Christ cannot fail to transform our devotional life profoundly.

Download or read book A Lover of God written by Dora Zsom and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the so-called ecstatic (or intoxicated) Sufis of Baghdad, Abū Ḥusayn al-Nūrī (d. 907/8) was famous for his quasi-blasphemous utterances and shocking public behavior. He was often enraptured by a passionate love of God that led him to eccentric acts that scandalized both ordinary people and the religious authorities. Besides yielding to divine love and beauty, he would occasionally come near succumbing to bodily temptations and carnal passions. Despite Nūrī’s outrageous behavior, Junayd, the moderate or sober Sufi par excellence, held him in high esteem, kept corresponding with him, and commented upon his controversial ecstatic sayings. This book collects Nūrī’s literary legacy by surveying the sources for his life—poems, sayings, and comments on the Quran, including an exchange of letters between him and Junayd preserved in the Cairo Genizah—and by discussing the authorship of the Stations of the Hearts, which has been widely attributed to Nūrī.

Book Synopsis Plato and the Question of Beauty by : Drew A. Hyland
Download or read book Plato and the Question of Beauty written by Drew A. Hyland and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drew A. Hyland, one of Continental philosophy's keenest interpreters of Plato, takes up the question of beauty in three Platonic dialogues, the Hippias Major, Symposium, and Phaedrus. What Plato meant by beauty is not easily characterized, and Hyland's close readings show that Plato ultimately gives up on the possibility of a definition. Plato's failure, however, tells us something important about beauty—that it cannot be reduced to logos. Exploring questions surrounding love, memory, and ideal form, Hyland draws out the connections between beauty, the possibility of philosophy, and philosophical living. This new reading of Plato provides a serious investigation into the meaning of beauty and places it at the very heart of philosophy.
Book Synopsis Alcibiades and the Socratic Lover-Educator by :
Download or read book Alcibiades and the Socratic Lover-Educator written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Platonic work Alcibiades I, a divinely guided Socrates adopts the guise of a lover in order to divert Alcibiades from an unthinking political career. The contributors to this carefully focussed volume cover aspects of the background to the work; its arguments and the philosophical issues it raises; its relationship to other Platonic texts, and its subsequent history up to the time of the Neoplatonists. Despite its ancient prominence, the authorship of Alcibiades I is still unsettled; the essays and two appendices, one historical and one stylometric, come together to suggest answers to this tantalising question.

Book Synopsis Critical Essays on Shakespeare's A Lover's Complaint by : Shirley Sharon-Zisser
Download or read book Critical Essays on Shakespeare's A Lover's Complaint written by Shirley Sharon-Zisser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the outpour of interpretations, from critics of all schools, on Shakespeare's dramatic works and other poetic works, A Lover's Complaint has been almost totally ignored by criticism. This collection of essays is designed to bring to the poem the attention it deserves for its beauty, its aesthetic, psychological and conceptual complexity, and its representation of its cultural moment. A series of readings of A Lover's Complaint, particularly engaging with issues of psychoanalysis and gender, the volume cumulatively builds a detailed picture of the poem, its reception, and its critical neglect. The essays in the volume, by leading Shakespeareans, open up this important text before scholars, and together generate the long-overdue critical conversation about the many intriguing facets of the poem.
