Book Synopsis Did Saint Paul Deviate From The Gospel? by : Devaprakash R. Shampur
Download or read book Did Saint Paul Deviate From The Gospel? written by Devaprakash R. Shampur and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman ruler, Pontius Pilate, asked, “What is truth,” about 2000 years ago to Jesus, who had declared, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” However, even now the question haunts all honest seekers when it comes to knowing the absolute truth! With the physical disappearance of Jesus Christ—as it happens in all religious movements—deviations from the Founder’s preaching have occurred right from the very beginning with the infiltrations of false prophets to divert our focus on the Lord. The believers in Jesus have split into many groups, sects and denominations, each claiming monopoly of the truth! The author who became a believer in 1977, hailing from a Hindu Devanga Brahmin community, has continued with a great zeal of knowing the truth that is universal. He has had a strong fellowship with Baptists in USA as well as in India. He has experienced fellowship with Brethren Assembly, and now in Church of South India of which he is a member. He has attended worship services in Methodist, Roman Catholic and Pentecostal-based group of churches. He has observed closely the attitude and behaviour of people belonging to Pentecostal groups that includes his relatives. He has read books related to the study of different denominations. With about four decades of studies and fellowships, he is of the firm view now that one has to revert to the four books of the Gospel to understand how much of Paul’s writings conform to the teaching of Jesus that offers salvation.
Book Synopsis Antarctica, Art and Archive by : Polly Gould
Download or read book Antarctica, Art and Archive written by Polly Gould and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antarctica, that icy wasteland and extreme environment at the ends of the earth, was - at the beginning of the 20th century - the last frontier of Victorian imperialism, a territory subjected to heroic and sometimes desperate exploration. Now, at the start of the 21st century, Antarctica is the vulnerable landscape behind iconic images of climate change. In this genre-crossing narrative Gould takes us on a journey to the South Pole, through art and archive. Through the life and tragic death of Edward Wilson, polar explorer, doctor, scientist and artist, and his watercolours, and through the work of a pioneer of modern anthropology and opponent of scientific racism, Franz Boas, Gould exposes the legacies of colonialism and racial and gendered identities of the time. Antarctica, the White Continent, far from being a blank - and white - canvas, is revealed to be full of colour. Gould argues that the medium matters and that the practices of observation in art, anthropology and science determine how we see and what we know. Stories of exploration and open-air watercolour painting, of weather experiments and ethnographic collecting, of evolution and extinction, are interwoven to raise important questions for our times. Revisiting Antarctica through the archive becomes the urgent endeavour to imagine an inhabitable planetary future.

Download or read book Antarctica written by Jean de Pomereu and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This stunning and powerfully relevant book tells the history of Antarctica through 100 varied and fascinating objects drawn from collections around the world. Retracing the history of Antarctica through 100 varied and fascinating objects drawn from collections across the world, this beautiful and absorbing book is published to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the first crossing into the Antarctic Circle by James Cook aboard Resolution, on 17th January 1773. It presents a gloriously visual history of Antarctica, from Terra Incognita to the legendary expeditions of Shackleton and Scott, to the frontline of climate change. One of the wildest and most beautiful places on the planet, Antarctica has no indigenous population or proprietor. Its awe-inspiring landscapes – unknown until just two centuries ago – have been the backdrop to feats of human endurance and tragedy, scientific discovery, and environmental research. Sourced from polar institutions and collections around the world, the objects that tell the story of this remarkable continent range from the iconic to the exotic, from the refreshingly mundane to the indispensable: - snow goggles adopted from Inuit technology by Amundsen - the lifeboat used by Shackleton and his crew - a bust of Lenin installed by the 3rd Soviet Antarctic Expedition - the Polar Star aircraft used in the first trans-Antarctic flight - a sealing club made from the penis bone of an elephant seal - the frozen beard as a symbol of Antarctic heroism and masculinity - ice cores containing up to 800,000 years of climate history This stunning book is both endlessly fascinating and a powerful demonstration of the extent to which Antarctic history is human history, and human future too.

Download or read book Southern Light written by and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer Dave Brosha's follow up to Northern Light accentuates the beautiful, fragile, and remote landscapes of Earth's southernmost regions. When one thinks of the most remote place on Earth, Antarctica is a strong candidate for many people. It's a remarkably isolated place, a place with some of the harshest weather systems on the planet, and a place that is both prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging to travel to. Despite this challenging persona, Antarctica is home to some of the most stunning beauty on the planet - home to an abundance of thriving and diverse wildlife populations and incredibly dramatic landscapes. In this collection of photographs from Antarctica and it's geographic neighbours, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, respected nature and portrait photographer and writer, Dave Brosha, turns his attention to documenting one of the "ends of the Earth" in the hope of bringing attention and focus to one of our world's most pristine and beautiful areas.
Book Synopsis The Great White Silence by : Rebecca Hernandez
Download or read book The Great White Silence written by Rebecca Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great White Silence, shot during the British Polar Expedition of 1910-1913, was filmed, developed, and produced by Herbert G. Panting, the first professional artist to travel to and work in Antarctica. This film ushered in a lineage of artistic production that, in its technological innovation, continues to be in keeping with the technological underpinnings of human investigation in the region. The telling of this century-old confrontation between the tenacity of film and the extreme Antarctic environment is an exploration of the being of objects. This non-anthropocentric tale dislocates humans from the center of consideration, using object-oriented ontology to narrate a world that is made up only of objects -- human and animal, animate and non-animate. Unearthing the relationship between these two players, in this historic moment of time, brings us closer towards an ecological thinking that confronts the material reality and impact of all objects and a human attunement to our parallel companions in the complex assemblages of nature, culture, and technology that reside in even the most remote regions of our planet.

Book Synopsis Crafty Oligarchs, Savvy Voters by : Shandana Khan Mohmand
Download or read book Crafty Oligarchs, Savvy Voters written by Shandana Khan Mohmand and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does democracy empower marginalized voters under conditions of inequality? The author probes into this question grounding her research in the context of Pakistan, an emerging democracy whose voters have actively been involved in defining its political history but about whom we know very little. They turn up in sizeable numbers to vote during elections, even under military rule, prompting all kinds of contradictory stereotypes about how Pakistani rural voters behave as electoral cannon fodder. But no one has looked very closely at why they vote as they do, or why they vote at all when their political agency is severely limited by high socio-economic inequality. By using original data collected across different villages and households in rural Pakistan, this book finds that electoral politics enables even the most marginalized voters to strategically further their interests vis-à-vis elite groups, but that persistent inequality limits their ability to organize or compete.
