Book Synopsis Better a Whore Than a Concubine by : Chan Joon Yee
Download or read book Better a Whore Than a Concubine written by Chan Joon Yee and published by Dewdrop Publications. This book was released on 2024-11-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liu Ru Shi 柳如是 (1618-1664) was an artist and poet of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. Her formative years were spent in a brothel. As a courtesan, Liu was very selective with her customers. She joined many recital sessions, mingled with scholars and other intellectuals and was often treated as an equal. This is a novel inspired by historical records meticulously compiled by Prof Chen Yin Ke 陈寅恪 (1890-1969), an intellectual who lived during the Mao era. Prof Chen wrote a flattering biography of this talented and dignified courtesan who refused to sell her soul and her body to unworthy men. This novel dramatises Liu Ru Shi's childhood, her romances, her family life and her struggle to revive the fallen Ming Dynasty.
Book Synopsis From Priest's Whore to Pastor's Wife by : Marjorie Elizabeth Plummer
Download or read book From Priest's Whore to Pastor's Wife written by Marjorie Elizabeth Plummer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 13 June 1525, Martin Luther married Katharina von Bora, a former nun, in a private ceremony officiated by city preacher Johann Bugenhagen. Whilst Luther was not the first former monk or Reformer to marry, his marriage immediately became one of the iconic episodes of the Protestant Reformation. From that point on, the marital status of clergy would be a pivotal dividing line between the Catholic and Protestant churches. Tackling the early stages of this divide, this book provides a fresh assessment of clerical marriage in the first half of the sixteenth century, when the debates were undecided and the intellectual and institutional situation remained fluid and changeable. It investigates the way that clerical marriage was received, and viewed in the dioceses of Mainz and Magdeburg under Archbishop Albrecht of Brandenburg from 1513 to 1545. By concentrating on a cross-section of rural and urban settings from three key regions within this territory - Saxony, Franconia, and Swabia - the study is able to present a broad comparison of reactions to this contentious issue. Although the marital status of the clergy remains perhaps the most identifiable difference between Protestant and Roman Catholic churches, remarkably little research has been done on how the shift from a "celibate" to a married clergy took place during the Reformation in Germany or what reactions such a move elicited. As such, this book will be welcomed by all those wishing to gain greater insight, not only into the theological debates, but also into the interactions between social identity, governance, and religious practice.

Book Synopsis Sexuality in Medieval Europe by : Ruth Mazo Karras
Download or read book Sexuality in Medieval Europe written by Ruth Mazo Karras and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The best short introduction to medieval sexuality that I have read: a remarkable book.' -Vern Bullough, Reviews in History 'Undergraduate and graduate students will find in Karras' book an extremely helpful guide to what can be a confusing and perplexing body of scholarship. Even established scholars are likely to find it enlightening as well as enjoyable.' - James Brundage, Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'An impressively synthetic and highly readable survey of current scholarship on medieval sexuality that will be of considerable use in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.' - Emma Campbell, Signs Sexuality in medieval Europe has become a vital scholarly field that is now recognized as central to the study of the Middle Ages. Using a wide collection of evidence from the late Antique period up until the fifteenth century, this new edition of the standard overview on the topic demonstrates that medieval culture developed sexual identities that were quite different from the identities we think of today, yet that were still in some ways ancestral to our own. Challenging the way the Middle Ages have been treated in general histories of sexuality, Ruth Mazo Karras shows how views at the time were conflicted and complicated; there was no single medieval attitude towards sexuality any more than there is one modern attitude. The well-known lusty priest and the 'repressed' penitent have their roles to play, but set here in a wider context these figures take on fascinating new dimensions. Focusing on acceptable marital sexual activity as well as what was seen as transgressive, the chapters cover such topics as chastity, the role of the church, and non-reproductive activity. Combining an overview of research on the topic with original interpretations, now updated with the latest scholarship and additional material from medieval Christian Europe, Jewish medieval culture and the Islamic world, Sexuality in Medieval Europe is essential reading for all those who study medieval history and culture, or who have an interest in the way sexuality and sexual identity have been viewed in the past.

This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the popular imagination, the Middle Ages are often associated with lawlessness. However, historians have long recognized that medieval culture was characterized by an enormous respect for law and legal procedure. This book makes the case that one cannot understand the era's cultural trends without considering the profound development of law.
Book Synopsis The Concubine's Daughter by : Helen Kwok
Download or read book The Concubine's Daughter written by Helen Kwok and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2003-04-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Concubine's Daughter is a snapshot of a bygone era, depicting life in the British colony of Hong Kong in the fifties and sixties. It is the story Elizabeth Lee, beautiful, intelligent, and liberated, from the time she is a wide-eyed eighteen year-old studying English Literature at the University of Hong Kong, sharing girlish secrets with her two best friends, to her becoming an academic at the University, to just after her thirtieth birthday, when she leaves Hong Kong with her husband and young son for the US, frightened in part by the riots inspired by the Cultural Revolution taking place across the border in mainland China. After twenty years in the US she returns to Hong Kong in 1986, just ten years before China is to regain sovereignty over the colony. Educated in English Elizabeth is keenly aware of the conflict within herself between her love of certain aspects of Western culture and her Chinese heritage. Living in that period of the colony's history, and largely divorced from the cultural life of the Chinese mainland, she is conscious of a sense of isolation. Discriminatory attitudes and actions, whether based on gender, race, or language, are very much a fact of life in Hong Kong during this period. The subject matter is original. The narrative style is witty, mildly sarcastic, and humorous in places. The vivid depiction of social customs and manners and memorable characters from different strata of society contribute to make The Concubine's Daughter a book well worth reading.

Book Synopsis What about the Whore? by : Greta G. Williams
Download or read book What about the Whore? written by Greta G. Williams and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an old saying, "There's a WHORE in every woman, but the right woman never unleashes it." This book borders on the flip side of Hagar, the concubine of Abraham and how she was put in a position of being used as whore and then dismissed. The modern day Hagar runs to the one place where she's told she can receive help. Here she is told she can be loosed. Here she is told she doesn't have to hide behind sheets, only to find there is no room for her. This place is the CHURCH! This book is designed for every woman who carries this pain around inside of her silently pleading, "What about me?" My question to you dear reader is, "Who will be the voice for these women?" This book is for the overcoming woman, YOU CAN BE DELIVERED! For over 36 years, Pastor Gayle Williams has traveled extensively throughout the US conducting seminars, conferences, counseling, and preaching and teaching the word of God. She holds a Bachelors of Science degree in sociology as well as a degree in Divinity. Pastor Williams has a target ministry for teenage girls and adults who have suffered from mental and sexual abuse. She believes, "If you can change the lives of women, you can change the generations to come through their freedom." Currently she is an established writer, pastor, and qualified professional in the field of mental health. She resides in New Haven, CT where she is a wife, mother, grandmother, and servant of the Lord. She believes that, "If you Can Whip the Devil in Prayer, You Can Whip Him Anywhere." Pastor prays that you apply this book in addition to the word of God in your everyday lives.
