Download or read book Ghost-Seers, Detectives, and Spiritualists written by Srdjan Smajić and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the narrative techniques that developed for two very popular forms of fiction in the nineteenth century - ghost stories and detective stories - and the surprising similarities between them in the context of contemporary theories of vision and sight. Srdjan Smajić argues that to understand how writers represented ghost-seers and detectives, the views of contemporary scientists, philosophers, and spiritualists with which these writers engage have to be taken into account: these views raise questions such as whether seeing really is believing, how much of what we 'see' is actually only inferred, and whether there may be other (intuitive or spiritual) ways of seeing that enable us to perceive objects and beings inaccessible to the bodily senses. This book will make a real contribution to the understanding of Victorian science in culture, and of the ways in which literature draws on all kinds of knowledge.

Book excerpt: Exploring this theme, Robinson examines Plato's Ion, Philo Judaeus and Augustine on the Septuagint, Paul on inspired interpreters, Joseph Smith on the Book of Mormon, and Schleiermacher, Marx, and Heidegger on translation. He traces the imaginative and historical linkages between twentieth-century conceptions of ideology and ancient conceptions of spirit-channeling, and the performative inversion of power relations by which the "channel" (or translator) comes to wield the source author as his or her tool.

What can explain the many 'bad deeds', happening in the world today, both major and minor, that we see or hear about almost daily, either in person or in the media? Or, why seemingly ordinary people are doing all the 'bad', even 'shocking things' that they are doing? Could it be something in the 'air', the 'water', or maybe something entirely different altogether that's behind all the bad that goes on in this world everyday. The scriptures tell us that it's something that a lot of people are not even aware of, or do not believe, as you are about to discover...

Download or read book The Pure in Heart written by Martin Burrell and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a record of how church happens even when the institution isnt looking how people are gathered together around Jesus Christ by the sheer force of the Spirits leading. God constantly goes ahead of us in mission not least in communities many Christians dont know about, or even dont much want to know about! It is a moving and inspiring testimony to Gods creative liberty at work in our times. Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury As the Romanies began to share their stories, many of us found ourselves in tears as we realized our own poverty. They were such a blessing to us in bringing us back to hear from God. For God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. We heard the challenge to lay down our cleverness and pride and come in simplicity, as these wonderful people had. On Sunday we truly saw the power of God at work and seeing that has challenged us to come back to simple faith in Jesus." Revd Shiela Porter, St Georges Deal. Martin tells a very moving story of discovering where God is at work in mission and following where he leads. It is significant that the resulting fresh expression of church among the Romany community in Kent stretched him to new understandings of mission and the church and to rediscover practices for identifying and developing indigenous leadership. We believe these lessons are transferable to many other mission contexts in our plural culture today.

Download or read book Folklore and the Fantastic in Nineteenth-Century British Fiction written by Jason Marc Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jason Marc Harris's ambitious book argues that the tensions between folk metaphysics and Enlightenment values produce the literary fantastic. Demonstrating that a negotiation with folklore was central to the canon of British literature, he explicates the complicated rhetoric associated with folkloric fiction. His analysis includes a wide range of writers, including James Barrie, William Carleton, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Sheridan Le Fanu, Neil Gunn, George MacDonald, William Sharp, Robert Louis Stevenson, and James Hogg. These authors, Harris suggests, used folklore to articulate profound cultural ambivalence towards issues of class, domesticity, education, gender, imperialism, nationalism, race, politics, religion, and metaphysics. Harris's analysis of the function of folk metaphysics in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century narratives reveals the ideological agendas of the appropriation of folklore and the artistic potential of superstition in both folkloric and literary contexts of the supernatural.

Download or read book Acts, Part One written by Youngmo Cho and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the many commentaries on the book of Acts. In other words, it does not deal with a unique topic but one that borders on banality, yet of utmost importance. Without doubt, it will suffice its role of moving one step closer to a complete understanding of the complex picture that Luke drew. This commentary has been written by two Asian scholars with different theological backgrounds and thus will provide an unprecedented perspective. This commentary pays attention to the historical background and to the narrative, theological, and rhetorical texture of the text in Acts. In particular, the periodical essays at the end of sections or chapters--"Fusing the Horizons"--reflect on what the text means for the new covenant community in terms of its theological message, application, and community and spiritual formation. This is one of the many notable characteristics of this commentary. Moreover, this is an approachable and readable commentary by anyone who is interested in Acts.
