Book Synopsis Eschaton IV Sequence by : Shane Crees
Download or read book Eschaton IV Sequence written by Shane Crees and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the culmination of the four volume Eschaton sequences, the author returns to the origins of the original sequence and, shedding some of the earlier work's postmodern reductions, returns to a more structured and Modern layout of his preliminary fusion of ideas. Serving as perhaps a Philosophical Investigations to the first sequence's Tractatus, this installment is clearer in its understanding of the exchange between reader and author, and the magic and spilling of ink that goes into the descent of an act of reflection into a materialistic artefact, stream-of-conscious repository, or book.

Book Synopsis The Eschaton Sequence by : Shane Crees
Download or read book The Eschaton Sequence written by Shane Crees and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual text, The Eschaton Sequence, represents a serious engagement with ideas of modern literary theory/philosophy. Written in an enigmatic aphoristic style there runs nonetheless a narrative describing the act of immersion of an author into the act of writing, raising questions about identity, agency, communication, perception, ritual and more. The format plays with the idea of intertexuality, read almost as a precursor to hyperlinks, and its range of reference to classic and popular culture is wide and rich. The text toys with the idea of death of the author as a form of virtual bloodletting or even suicide, exploring the idea of what remains as a form of archetype or psyche. In its reflections and engagement with postmodern authors this collection of maxims is perfect for browsing in hurried moments. There is plenty of wisdom dispensed on a variety of topics from death to terrorism to dance to sex. For inquiring and curious intellectual minds this is a potentially rewarding and entertaining book.
Book Synopsis Saving the Earth? by : E. M. Conradie

Book excerpt: Christians seeking to "save the Earth" have to relate creation to salvation by doing justice to both themes. This study explores the ambiguous legacy of the ways in which this challenge has been approached in the reformed tradition of Swiss, Dutch, and German origins and in the reception of this tradition in South Africa. The book focuses on the diverging interpretations of the category of "re-creation" in this regard. (Series: Studies in Religion and the Environment / Studien zur Religion und Umwelt - Vol. 8)

Book Synopsis Midrash VaYosha by : Rachel S. Mikva
Download or read book Midrash VaYosha written by Rachel S. Mikva and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2012 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel S. Mikva undertakes a close examination of Midrash vaYosha, a medieval rabbinic text which explicates the Song at the Sea (Ex 15:1-18) and the events of the exodus from Egypt leading up to that climactic moment. Relatively short midrashim focusing on a brief biblical narrative or theme were composed in large numbers during the medieval period, and their extant manuscripts are sufficient in number to demonstrate the great popularity of the genre. Based on early manuscripts, two different recensions are transcribed and translated with significant annotation exploring variants, parallels, exegetical significance and literary style. A thorough historical analysis suggests that the midrash was performed as explication of the Torah reading at a certain point in its development - part of the gradual attenuation of live Targum. As Midrash vaYosha leaves the synagogue, its narrative dimension grows tremendously, yielding significant insight into the development of medieval Jewish exegesis.

Book Synopsis Enoch and Qumran Origins by : Gabriele Boccaccini
Download or read book Enoch and Qumran Origins written by Gabriele Boccaccini and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-06-03 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rediscovery of Enochic Judaism as an ancient movement of dissent within Second Temple Judaism, a movement centered on neither temple nor torah, is a major achievement of contemporary research. After being marginalized, ancient Enoch texts have reemerged as a significant component of the Dead Sea Scrolls library unearthed at Qumran. Enoch and Qumran Origins is the first comprehensive treatment of the complex and forgotten relations between the Qumran community and the Jewish group behind the pseudepigraphal literature of Enoch. The contributors demonstrate that the roots of the Qumran community are to be found in the tradition of the Enoch group rather than that of the Jerusalem priesthood. Framed by Gabriele Boccaccini's introduction and James Charlesworth's conclusion, this book examines the hypotheses of five particularly eminent scholars, resulting in an engaging and substantive discussion among forty-seven specialists from nine countries. The exceptional array of essays from leading international scholars in Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins makes Enoch and Qumran Origins a sine qua non for serious students of this period.

Download or read book Karl Barth written by Joseph L. Mangina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thought of Karl Barth (1886-1968) has undergone a remarkable renewal of interest in the past twenty years. Joseph Mangina's Karl Barth: Theologian of Christian Witness offers a concise, accessible guide to this important Christian thinker. Uniquely among introductions to Barth, it also highlights his significance for Christian ecumenism. The first chapter describes Barth's extraordinary life, from his youthful break with liberalism during the First World War, to his mature theology in the Church Dogmatics. Subsequent chapters offer a detailed reading of this magisterial work, and place Barth in dialogue with five contemporary thinkers: George Lindbeck on revelation, Michael Wyschogrod on election, Stanley Hauerwas on creation, Robert Jenson on reconciliation, and Henri de Lubac on the church. These ecumenical conversations not only set Barth's thinking in greater relief, but serve to demonstrate its continuing theological fruitfulness. The book concludes by examining Barth's wider significance for the church in our time.

Book Synopsis The Dialectics of Discipleship by : Chris Swann
Download or read book The Dialectics of Discipleship written by Chris Swann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interrogating Barth's discipleship-shaped vision of sanctification, this book investigates both Lutheran and Calvinian source material to develop an account that differs markedly from other Lutheran and Calvinist perspectives. Highlighting the robustly theological and Christ-centred character of Barth's account, Chris Swann demonstrates that, far from merely valorising human activity, Barth advances an understanding of human moral agency, action, and suffering that is real but relative to the agency of God in Christ to which it corresponds analogously. With a focus on the role the image of discipleship plays in giving conceptual structure and shape to Barth's distinctive account of the correspondence between divine agency and sanctified human agency, this book evaluates the ramifications of his discipleship-shaped vision of sanctification. In doing this, it gives special attention to Barth's own personal mixed record with regard to Christian discipleship. Ultimately, Swann retrieves a number of important resources for contemporary theological ethics from Barth's theology of discipleship.
Book Synopsis "Come Out My People!" by : Wes Howard-Brook
Download or read book "Come Out My People!" written by Wes Howard-Brook and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling view of two competing religious visions---one of "creation" and the other of "empire"---that run throughout the Bible. "A remarkable offering for those who care about the interface of power and faith with all the threats and seductions that go with it. . . As I read, I felt overwhelmed, both by the mass of data and by the cunning of interpretation. I could not put it down, and expect to continue to be instructed by it.---Walter Brueggemann "Howard-Brook undertakes what few dare anymore: an introductory primer for the whole Bible...This book invites disciples to `connect the dots', in order to recover our ancient, anti-imperial identity, and to embrace a radical faith and practice that are personal and politica."---Ched Myers "Howard-Brook illuminates how ancient empires exercised control and manipulation of people not simply by political and military means, but also through the religion of empire. Throughout he makes clear that the core message of the God of creation is to call people out of empire, to refuse to cooperate with the forces of destruction and domination today."---Richard Horsley "Will become a classic for communities that seek first to receive the gracious gift of God's alternative future to Empire."---Jarrod McKenna "If we who sojourn in America are to be a community that can both name and resist the lure of Empire, we need a story more powerful than the story called America. Wes Howard-Brook knows than the Bible tells such a story. May its story be ours as we're set free from our imperial imaginations to dream with our Creator of a new world here and now."---Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Book Synopsis Historical Knowledge in Biblical Antiquity by :
Download or read book Historical Knowledge in Biblical Antiquity written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen essays by leading scholars ask two questions: What was the purpose of studying the past in biblical antiquity, and what sorts of information did the historians who produced Scripture in Judaism and Christianity seek in accomplishing their purpose? Ancient Israelite and Greek historiography set the stage for a survey of how diverse Christian and Judaic writers defined the historical mission and carried it out. The Hebrew Scriptures, Gospels, Dead Sea scrolls, apocryphal and pseudepigraphic writers, Josephus, the Mishnah and the Talmuds all are asked to answer those questions.
