Book Synopsis Awaiting Apocalypse by : P. Corcoran
Download or read book Awaiting Apocalypse written by P. Corcoran and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-12-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current obsession with the 'end of the millennium' illustrates the enduring power of the idea of endings. This fascination cannot be simply dismissed as faulty logic, a form of madness, or a primitive survival of childish thinking. Opening a path of understanding between ancient conceptions of meaning and the sceptical predicates of modern science, Awaiting Apocalypse shows how ordinary and extraordinary endings are inherent in the narrative structure of human experience and the sedimentation of that experience as historical meaning.
Book Synopsis Waiting for the Apocalypse: A Memoir of Faith and Family by : Veronica Chater
Download or read book Waiting for the Apocalypse: A Memoir of Faith and Family written by Veronica Chater and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-02-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up Catholic in a family where the reforms of Vatican II are seen as the work of Satan. It is 1972, and Veronica Chater's parents believe that Vatican II's liberalization has corrupted the Catholic Church, inviting the Holy Chastisement—an apocalypse prophesied by three shepherds in Fatima, Portugal. To spare his family this horror, Veronica's father quits the highway patrol, sells everything, and moves the family of eight from California to an isolated village near Fatima. But Portugal is no Catholic utopia, and the family schleps home penniless to join the nascent Catholic counterrevolution: attending the Latin Mass in truck garages and abandoned buildings, serving meals to religious soldiers, breeding a new member of the faithful every year. As Veronica comes of age on the fringes of the American Dream, she rebels against a fanaticism that forbids anything modern—clothes, movies, or music. This is the story, both sad and funny, of a family torn apart by religion and brought back together in spite of the injuries it inflicted on itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stage play. 5 M, 2 W. One set. Two acts. "I saw a storm coming from the North, a vast cloud with flashes of fire and brilliant light around it; and within it was a radiance like brass, glowing in the heart of the flames. In the fire was the semblance of four living creatures in human form . . ." -- Ezekiel 1:4 In a diner of the small town of Smithereens, three of the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse wait, restlessly, for the Fourth Horseman to arrive and begin the end of the world. Cameron, a single man with aspirations of falling in love, stumbles into the diner, chasing a girl whom he has never met and, unwittingly, becomes that Fourth Horseman. As the others try to talk this Fourth Horseman into following his dream and talking to the girl, the other three slowly begin to realize what the Apocalypse is all about ... that it has already begun, and that if they don't do something quickly, it will pass them by. "What is the Apocalypse? Is it fire and brimstone and dieties passing judgement? Or is it just you and me ... giving up?" The end of the world has never been like this before.
Book Synopsis The Apocalyptic Complex by : Nadia Al-Bagdadi
Download or read book The Apocalyptic Complex written by Nadia Al-Bagdadi and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, followed by similarly dreadful acts of terror, prompted a new interest in the field of the apocalyptic. There is a steady output of literature on the subject (also referred to as “the End Times.) This book analyzes this continuously published literature and opens up a new perspective on these views of the apocalypse. The thirteen essays in this volume focus on the dimensions, consequences and transformations of Apocalypticism. The authors explore the everyday relevance of the apocalyptic in contemporary society, culture, and politics, side by side with the various histories of apocalyptic ideas and movements. In particular, they seek to better understand the ways in which perceptions of the apocalypse diverge in the American, European, and Arab worlds. Leading experts in the field re-evaluate some of the traditional views on the apocalypse in light of recent political and cultural events, and, go beyond empirical facts to reconsider the potential of the apocalyptic. This last point is the focal point of the book.

Book Synopsis Creation's Slavery and Liberation by : Presian Renee Burroughs
Download or read book Creation's Slavery and Liberation written by Presian Renee Burroughs and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did the apostle Paul mean when he portrayed the creation as subjected to frustration and enslaved to destruction? What forms of frustration and destruction might he have seen throughout the Roman Empire? And how would he describe creation’s condition today? Creation’s Slavery and Liberation addresses these questions by tracing the story of creation as it appears in Paul’s own Scriptures (the Tanakh), Roman imperial propaganda, Paul’s letter to Rome, and U.S. industrial agriculture. This story reveals God to be the Creator who makes right (justifies) and makes alive through Jesus Christ and the Spirit. Because God liberates, justifies, and vivifies the entire creation and since—according to Paul—creation’s liberation is linked to humanity’s glorification, Paul expects Christians to pursue justice and nourish life. Burroughs encapsulates key justice-oriented and life-supporting practices in seven eco-ethical principles. To make these principles come alive, she describes the ways in which Roman imperial and American industrial regimes have caused injustice and destruction and, instead, proposes more regenerative approaches to growing, enjoying, and sharing our daily bread.
Book Synopsis Shakespeare and the Apocalypse by : R M Christofides
Download or read book Shakespeare and the Apocalypse written by R M Christofides and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By connecting Shakespeare's language to the stunning artwork that depicted the end of the world, this study provides not only provides a new reading of Shakespeare but illustrates how apocalyptic art continues to influence popular culture today. Drawing on extant examples of medieval imagery, Roger Christofides uses poststructuralist and psychoanalytic accounts of how language works to shed new light on our understanding of Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear. He then links Shakespeare's dependence on his audience to appreciate the allusions made to the religious paintings to the present day. For instance, popular television series like Battlestar Galactica, seminal horror movies such as An American Werewolf in London and Carrie and recent novels like Cormac McCarthy's The Road. All draw on imagery that can be traced directly back to the depictions of the Doom, an indication of the cultural power these vivid imaginings of the end of the world have in Shakespeare's day and now.
Book Synopsis The Apocalypse in the Early Middle Ages by : James Palmer
Download or read book The Apocalypse in the Early Middle Ages written by James Palmer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study reveals the distinctive impact of apocalyptic ideas about time, evil and power on church and society in the Latin West, c.400–c.1050. Drawing on evidence from late antiquity, the Frankish kingdoms, Anglo-Saxon England, Spain and Byzantium and sociological models, James Palmer shows that apocalyptic thought was a more powerful part of mainstream political ideologies and religious reform than many historians believe. Moving beyond the standard 'Terrors of the Year 1000', The Apocalypse in the Early Middle Ages opens up broader perspectives on heresy, the Antichrist and Last World Emperor legends, chronography, and the relationship between eschatology and apocalypticism. In the process, it offers reassessments of the worlds of Augustine, Gregory of Tours, Bede, Charlemagne and the Ottonians, providing a wide-ranging and up-to-date survey of medieval apocalyptic thought. This is the first full-length English-language treatment of a fundamental and controversial part of medieval religion and society.
Book Synopsis The Last Policeman by : Ben H. Winters
Download or read book The Last Policeman written by Ben H. Winters and published by Quirk Books. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[The] weird, beautiful, unapologetically apocalyptic Last Policeman trilogy is one of my favorite mystery series."—John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns Winner of the 2013 Edgar® Award Winner for Best Paperback Original! What’s the point in solving murders if we’re all going to die soon, anyway? Detective Hank Palace has faced this question ever since asteroid 2011GV1 hovered into view. There’s no chance left. No hope. Just six precious months until impact. The Last Policeman presents a fascinating portrait of a pre-apocalyptic United States. The economy spirals downward while crops rot in the fields. Churches and synagogues are packed. People all over the world are walking off the job—but not Hank Palace. He’s investigating a death by hanging in a city that sees a dozen suicides every week—except this one feels suspicious, and Palace is the only cop who cares. The first in a trilogy, The Last Policeman offers a mystery set on the brink of an apocalypse. As Palace’s investigation plays out under the shadow of 2011GV1, we’re confronted by hard questions way beyond “whodunit.” What basis does civilization rest upon? What is life worth? What would any of us do, what would we really do, if our days were numbered? Ebook contains an excerpt from the anticipated second book in the trilogy, Countdown City.
Download or read book 666 Revealed written by Jack Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the days of the early Christian Church, there has ever been talk of the return of JESUS CHRIST to Earth to ransom HIS people. An examination of the Scriptures, and comparing its Wording with current events will attest that this "Rapture" is closer now than it has ever been. Yet the thrust of this book is not on this second coming of CHRIST, but rather on the more pitiable spiritual condition of Christendom in these final hours before the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Indeed, there is ample proof that this momentous event is already under way; and here again, all one need do is compare the writings of the Bible with current realities. Spiritually speaking, the times are dark with little true light to be seen anywhere. Worse is to be found in the fact that few there are who can read the Signs of the Times, and are thus preparing themselves. Jack Smith explores these issues and reveals the true meaning of "666" from the Book of Revelation in this polemic. For the time to know the Truth is NOT tomorrow: it is NOW.
