Book Synopsis Feeling Persecuted by : Anthony Bale
Download or read book Feeling Persecuted written by Anthony Bale and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Feeling Persecuted, Anthony Bale explores the medieval Christian attitude toward Jews, which included a pervasive fear of persecution and an imagined fear of violence enacted against Christians. As a result, Christians retaliated with expulsions, riots, and murders that systematically denied Jews the right to religious freedom and peace. Through close readings of a wide range of sources, Bale exposes the perceived violence enacted by the Jews and how the images of this Christian suffering and persecution were central to medieval ideas of love, community, and home. The images and texts explored by Bale expose a surprising practice of recreational persecution and show that the violence perpetrated against medieval Jews was far from simple anti-Semitism and was in fact a complex part of medieval life and culture. Bale’s comprehensive look at medieval poetry, drama, visual culture, theology, and philosophy makes Feeling Persecuted an important read for anyone interested in the history of Christian-Jewish relations and the impact of this history on modern culture.
Book Synopsis On the Side of the Persecuted by : Elisabeth Kesten
Download or read book On the Side of the Persecuted written by Elisabeth Kesten and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-08-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jody Myers, Ph.D. (Coordinator, Jewish Studies Program / Professor, Department of Religious Studies, California State University, Northridge): On the Side of the Persecuted ... is a very interesting book that will engage readers on a number of different levels.I enjoyed the book very much and I recommend it wholeheartedly. On the level of its story line, On the Side of the Persecuted has a plot that keeps the reader guessing.The book is set in late 14th - early 15th century Germany and Italy, and it illustrates the daily lives of the nobility, physicians, peasants, and Jews.It opens with a brief look at a few stark incidents in the childhood of Prince Leon, the protagonist, that shape him into a persecutor of Jews.We follow Leons personal journey - which is never predictable - as he wrestles with his sins and attempts to redeem himself as a human being. ...The personal relationships ... are sensitively developed by the author, and it is easy to be drawn into Leons dilemmas, losses, and victories.It is quite a moving tale. On the Side of the Persecuted makes history come alive.The author sets the story into the late medieval period, with its groundbreaking political and religious changes: the growth of nation-states, schism within the Catholic church, the Black plague, expulsion of Jews, etc.She weaves together the story with just enough history to make the story line plausible and to make the history relevant.As a teacher of Jewish history, I can testify that the book is very good at driving home the influence on the Jews of medieval economic practices and political systems, the Church hierarchy, and Christian insecurities vis a vis heretics and Jews.It also enlightens the reader about the internal workings of the Jewish community....The author describes Leons training and occupation as a physician and we learn fascinating tidbits about medical education, the common versus professional concepts of disease and treatment, and the many religious obstacles in the way of advancing medical knowledge.This information is conveyed in short segments or details woven into the story, so it is never boring. I think this book is particularly good for teaching Jewish moral and religious concepts.Without being preachy or pedantic, the reader learns about the importance of teshuva (repentance), establishing a disciplined way of life, doing deeds of loving kindness, honoring peoples privacy, and keeping ones pride in check.The author shows that these are really quite complex and sophisticated matters. ... It is easy to get absorbed in On the Side of the Persecuted.The book conveys a great deal while telling a good story.Those knowledgeable about Judaism, as well as those less familiar, would find it insightful and thought-provoking.History buffs would enjoy it immensely.I would recommend it those of high school age and older.It would be an excellent choice for a book club, and it would also work well as a supplement to a history class or a course on Jewish ethics.It is obvious that Elisabeth Kesten crafted her book with a lot of care and painstaking research, and her work deserves wide recognition. Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter, September/October 2001: Prince Leon of Germany, destined for greatness and power, creates a new path for himself, one that has been trod by few others before him.Born of Christian nobility, Prince Leon is gr

Book excerpt: "Much has been written on interpreting the meanings of tarot cards, but there is one particular type of meaning that should get more attention-those of tarot reversals. Turned upside down, tarot cards can have an entirely different meaning from their upright interpretations-not simply bad news or the opposite of the upright meaning. This book describes how card orientation is key and how tarot reversals can enhance the dynamic quality of your readings by seeing your cards as energies and appreciating their cycles"--

Book Synopsis The Emotional Toolbox by : Daniel A. Bochner Ph.D.
Download or read book The Emotional Toolbox written by Daniel A. Bochner Ph.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Emotional Toolbox, Dr. Bochner provides a fresh and accessible perspective on the most common issues of psychotherapy and mental health. This book is a Manual for Mental Health and is organized as an owners manual for the relational world, which Dr. Bochner calls the great life machine. Unlike other manuals that focus on all brand-new systems functioning perfectly, however, The Emotional Toolbox recognizes the various types of likely breakdown that occur over time and focuses intently on helping you bring yourself to full potential. In essence, The Emotional Toolbox is the Introduction to Psychology people truly want and need, even though it does not include the typical Psych 101 articles on rats in mazes, pellet-pecking pigeons, cat-zapping contraptions, or old tired theories no longer useful in modern day psychotherapy. Instead, in this Manual the reader finds and feasts on expert knowledge regarding the intricacies of human interaction, the vagaries of couple and family life, and the ins and outs of mental health diagnosis. Dr. Bochners Emotional Toolbox addresses the most commonly encountered issues of life, explains emotional difficulties and interpersonal communication at a level where the reader can feel personally understood, and offers solutions and redemption where people struggle most.
Download or read book Lonesome Hero written by Fred Stenson and published by Brindle and Glass. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Tyrone Lock: born of farmers' stock; overeducated, underemployed. An inveterate pick-nose and clandestine squeezer of Revels in the supermarket. Disaffected in a way that Adrian Mole would recognize (though as Tyrone takes pains to point out, he's hardly a tortured artist; his BA was in Economics). Inexplicably involved with the lovely, pampered Miss Athena Till. The young couple are preparing for their first trip abroad: the obligatory horizon-widening sojourn in Europe, the Land of the Forefathers and the Wellspring of Culture. Except that this is an excursion that Tyrone would do anything to get out of. His horizons are plenty broad, thank you very much, and he'd rather spend his days taking walks with his dog, fly-fishing without a hook, and composing such melodious odes to his native land as: O Beaver Creek, In the Foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, I would sooner have you, Than a bunch of crappy marble fountains. First published in 1974 and now released for the first time in paperback, Lonesome Hero is a comic classic, the award-winning smartass novel that launched a spectacular writing career. This new revised edition restores scenes deleted from the original and also features an introduction by the inimitable Mark Anthony Jarman and an afterword by the author, who reflects how glad he is, looking back at his first novel, that Lonesome Hero still manages to embody the ironies of the era, the fact that we often understood perfectly how cartoonish we were. The early '70s was about avoiding work at all costs and trying to live amusingly during all one's waking hours: about how weirdly far we would go to accomplish that.

Book Synopsis Children Surviving Persecution by : Judith S. Kestenberg
Download or read book Children Surviving Persecution written by Judith S. Kestenberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-10-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international study of children's experiences of organized persecution, explores the Holocaust and its aftermath as prototypical social trauma. Traumatized persons' feelings of shame and guilt as well as a sense of being different may prevail, and they may attribute great power to others, seek safety in isolation, or search for a rescuer. Nevertheless, as a group, the child survivors of the Holocaust have achieved remarkable success as adults. Drawing on the wealth of personal and interview information, the contributors create a synthesis of personal history and psychological analysis. Adult memories of traumatic childhood experiences are accompanied by discussions of their effects and by analysis of the various coping mechanisms used to establish a viable post-war existence. These accounts are distinguished by the fact that they are by and about individuals who grew up in undistinguished Christian and Jewish families; not those of prominent figures or resistance fighters or rescuers. All experienced unrest and many suffered trauma during the Nazi regime, as a result of the war, and during the post-war turbulence. An important collection for students and scholars of the Holocaust and for those professionals in a position to help surviving victims of other organized persecution, civil violence, strife, and abuse.
