Book Synopsis Echoes of a Forgotten Presence by : Mark Dickens
Download or read book Echoes of a Forgotten Presence written by Mark Dickens and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of ten articles published between 2009 and 2016 by Mark Dickens on the Assyrian Church of the East in Central Asia, along with a new article on Mar Yahbalaha III, the only Turkic patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East. Most articles deal with the textual evidence for Syriac Christianity in Central Asia, including six on Christian manuscript fragments from Turfan (China) and two on gravestone inscriptions from Semirechye (Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan). As the volume title indicates, these articles remind us of the centuries-long presence of the Assyrian Church of the East at the centre of the Asian continent, now all but forgotten due to the general scarcity of sources from which this history can be reconstructed.

Book Synopsis Ethical Implications of One God by : Robert Petkovšek
Download or read book Ethical Implications of One God written by Robert Petkovšek and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The issue of the ethical implications of monotheism is a very relevant topic from the point of view of contemporary humanities and social science, and from the perspective of the cultural and political condition in Europe and at the global scale. Therefore a scientific book devoted to this subject makes a lot of sense. Throughout the history and in present times, monotheism has been subjected to several sharp criticisms. On the other hand, we find also very different evaluations of it. They stress its positive and even crucial contribution to peace, forming of rational, non-violent, tolerant culture and society, to the scientific, political and cultural development, to democracy etc. The book offers fresh interdisciplinary perspectives - mainly from the point of view of humanities - on the ethical aspects of monotheism, broadens the scientific understanding of it, and establishes a basis for resolving conflicts to which the understanding of monotheism is relevant or even decisive."--
Book Synopsis ‘Pre-Islamic Survivals’ in Muslim Central Asia by : R. Charles Weller
Download or read book ‘Pre-Islamic Survivals’ in Muslim Central Asia written by R. Charles Weller and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book traces the conceptual lens of historical-cultural ‘survivals’ from the late 19th-century theories of E.B. Tylor, James Frazer, and others, in debate with monotheistic ‘degenerationists’ and Protestant anti-Catholic polemicists, back to its origins in Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions as well as later more secularized forms in the German Enlightenment and Romanticist movements. These historical sources, particularly the ‘dual faith’ tradition of Russian Orthodoxy, significantly shaped both Tsarist and later Soviet ethnography of Muslim Central Asia, helping guide and justify their respective religious missionary, social-legal, political and other imperial agendas. They continue impacting post-Soviet historiography in complex and debated ways. Drawing from European, Central Asian, Middle Eastern and world history, the fields of ethnography and anthropology, as well as Christian and Islamic studies, the volume contributes to scholarship on ‘syncretism’ and ‘conversion’, definitions of Islam, history as identity and heritage, and more. It is situated within a broader global historical frame, addressing debates over ‘pre-Islamic Survivals’ among Turkish and Iranian as well as Egyptian, North African Berber, Black African and South Asian Muslim Peoples while critiquing the legacy of the Geertzian ‘cultural turn’ within Western post-colonialist scholarship in relation to diverging trends of historiography in the post-World War Two era.
Book Synopsis The Making of Syriac Jerusalem by : Catalin-Stefan Popa
Download or read book The Making of Syriac Jerusalem written by Catalin-Stefan Popa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses hagiographic, historiographical, hymnological, and theological sources that contributed to the formation of the sacred picture of the physical as well as metaphysical Jerusalem in the literature of two Eastern Christian denominations, East and West Syrians. Popa analyses the question of Syrian beliefs about the Holy City, their interaction with holy places, and how they travelled in the Holy Land. He also explores how they imagined and reflected the theology of this itinerary through literature in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, set alongside a well-defined local tradition that was at times at odds with Jerusalem. Even though the image of Jerusalem as a land of sacred spaces is unanimously accepted in the history of Christianity, there were also various competing positions and attitudes. This often promoted the attempt at mitigating and replacing Jerusalem’s sacred centrality to the Christian experience with local sacred heritage, which is also explored in this study. Popa argues that despite this rhetoric of artificial boundaries, the general picture epitomises a fluid and animated intersection of Syriac Christians with the Holy City especially in the medieval era and the subsequent period, through a standardised process of pilgrimage, well-integrated in the custom of advanced Christian life and monastic canon. The Making of Syriac Jerusalem is suitable for students and scholars working on the history, literature, and theology of Syriac Christianity in the late antique and medieval periods.
Download or read book Uncovering the Pearl written by Amos Yong and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asia is by far the largest continent in the world. The global expansion of the church, which emanated from the Middle East (as explored in the first book in the series) moved along various routes to take root in Asia proper. Christianity in Asia is extraordinarily diverse, with very ancient forms of the faith dating to the time of the apostles. The western church will be enlightened by the dynamic, multi-pronged Asian story of Christianity. Asian Christianity is also distinct due to the numerous non-traditional, house, or cell movements found throughout the region. The diversity of Christianity in Asia makes Christians in this region critical for the future of global Christianity.

Download or read book Echo's Voice written by Mary Noonan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helene Cixous (1937-), distinguished not least as a playwright herself, told Le Monde in 1977 that she no longer went to the theatre: it presented women only as reflections of men, used for their visual effect. The theatre she wanted would stress the auditory, giving voice to ways of being that had previously been silenced. She was by no means alone in this. Cixous's plays, along with those of Nathalie Sarraute (1900-99), Marguerite Duras (1914-96), and Noelle Renaude (1949-), among others, have proved potent in drawing participants into a dynamic 'space of the voice'. If, as psychoanalysis suggests, voice represents a transitional condition between body and language, such plays may draw their audiences in to understandings previously never spoken. In this ground-breaking study, Noonan explores the rich possibilities of this new audio-vocal form of theatre, and what it can reveal of the auditory self.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the bucolic valley of San Pedro, Tomás's farm rises like a reflection of rural tranquility, but beneath this appearance of peace, dark secrets and a murky past nestle in the Forest of the Forgotten, a vast expanse that has always intrigued and terrified the locals. As the light of dawn begins to dissipate the morning mist that dances over the cornfields, an indescribable discomfort assails Tomás, a palpable sensation pushing him to confront the mysteries surrounding his existence and that of his family. Since childhood, Tomás has had a peculiar connection with Eldermere, marked by nostalgic memories that now immerse him in a sea of uncertainties and unresolved terrors. The disappearance of his father, a constant echo of guilt and fear, brings to the surface traumas Tomás wishes to forget. But upon hearing the enigmatic whispers of the forest and noticing the increasingly restless behavior of his loyal dog, Max, he finds himself drawn into a labyrinth of mysteries he cannot ignore. Accompanied by Dr. Helena, a veterinarian with a deep knowledge of the region’s traditions and superstitions, and Carlos, a skeptical and rational friend who soon finds himself confronted with the dark reality around him, Tomás decides to investigate the ghosts that inhabit the forest. As they explore local legends involving cults and dark rituals, they discover a legacy of pain that connects their own stories to ancestors who succumbed to evil forces. The forest, a living entity with a mind of its own, serves as a terrifying backdrop that reflects each individual's fears and insecurities. The echoes of lost souls cry out for justice, and the shadowy figures that manifest throughout their journey reveal that the shadows are not mere representations of the unknown, but play an active role in shaping the fate of Eldermere. With internal tension growing within the group, they face a series of challenges—both emotional and physical—as they try to unravel the origin of the curse that has imprisoned the region's inhabitants and to free the souls that dwell there. Amid terrible encounters and unimaginable twists, they are forced to confront not only the malevolent entity hiding in the forest but also their own darkest truths and fears. As the looming storm intensifies, the emotional connections between Tomás, Dr. Helena, and Carlos become their greatest asset, while the forest unfolds into a complex plot of betrayals and revelations that challenge the very nature of friendship. The love for Max, a symbol of loyalty that stands as the most powerful force they have, also becomes a crucial factor, linking their stories and driving them to action. The Forest of the Forgotten will confront them with existential questions that challenge not only their wills but also their hearts. What will they be willing to sacrifice in the name of truth and freedom? As they unravel the enigma of the shadows around them and discover the echoes of a past that refuses to be silenced, Tomás and his friends will realize that the true struggle for liberation lies not only in the choices they face but also in the unbreakable bonds they have formed with one another. Prepare for an exhilarating journey through love, despair, and courage, where the whispers of the trees reveal ancient truths, and the horrors of the past shape a present filled with difficult choices. "The Forest of the Forgotten" is a narrative that goes beyond supernatural horror, exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche and the importance of facing our own chains, no matter how heavy they may be, in the pursuit of freedom.
