Book Synopsis The Riddle of Jael by : P. Scott Brown
Download or read book The Riddle of Jael written by P. Scott Brown and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2019 SECAC Award for Excellence in Scholarly Research and Publication In The Riddle of Jael, Peter Scott Brown offers the first history of the Biblical heroine Jael in medieval and Renaissance art. Jael, who betrayed and killed the tyrant Sisera in the Book of Judges by hammering a tent peg through his brain as he slept under her care, was a blessed murderess and an especially fertile moral paradox in the art of the early modern period. Jael’s representations offer insights into key religious, intellectual, and social developments in late medieval and early modern society. They reflect the influence on art of exegesis, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, humanism and moral philosophy, misogyny and the battle of the sexes, the emergence of syphilis, and the Renaissance ideal of the artist.

A magical land that's falling apart. Peter Pan losing control. 1. A Curse of Gems: A Retelling of Toads and Diamonds Jaelle knows better than to trust any man in Terrefantome. But what happens when she has no choice? Or even worse…when she realizes he might have stolen her heart? Jaelle knows better than to trust men. Every girl in Terrefantome knows that. But when her plan to escape her oppressive kingdom with her sister goes awry, she finds herself with an unwanted magical gift and her sister in peril. To make matters worse, she's thrust into the company of a foreign prince on a strange mission. With no one else to turn to, Jaelle must choose between aiding him in his quest and receiving his help in return...or saving her sister on her own. Prince Lucas of Maricanta is on the most important mission of his life; if he fails, his kingdom will be overrun by an army of criminals. When his meddling mother follows him into enemy territory, however, dragging along some poor girl that she insists is his future wife, he must alter plans to protect them all. Jaelle and Lucas know his mother's plan to betroth them is far-fetched. They also know, however, that in Terrefantome, playing along with the sham engagement is safer by far. But with enemies closing in on every side and their own affections getting muddled along the way, Lucas and Jaelle must choose between the futures they've sacrificed for and the love of which they've always dreamed. 2. Neverland Falling: A Retelling of Peter Pan, Part I If Wendy and Peter aren’t careful, Neverland and everyone in it will fall. Wendy's parents have chosen her prospective husband, and her world is falling apart. So when the mysterious, handsome Peter invites Wendy and her little brothers to run away to a place called Neverland, she accepts. At first, Neverland is more wonderful than Wendy imagined. So are all the people who live there, from the Lost Boys to the mermaids to the fae to the misunderstood privateer, Captain Jay. But as time rolls on, Wendy realizes that growing up might not be so bad...if she had the right person to do it with. Unfortunately, growing up in Neverland is forbidden. And the farther she gets from childhood, the more she endangers them all. And when the fae decide she's gone too far, both Peter and Wendy must decide where their love and loyalties lie and how far they're willing to chase them. For if they're not careful, Neverland and everyone in it will fall. 3. Breaking Neverland: A Retelling of Peter Pan, Part II Wendy is determined to go back to Neverland…no matter what the cost. Peter has banished Wendy from Neverland, but she's determined to return to fetch her brothers. To go back, however, she'll need a miracle. Such a miracle will be costly, and Wendy must decide whom to trust and how far she’s prepared to go...as well as how willing she is to leave Peter Pan to his fate. Peter and the Neverstar are upholding a skeleton of the place Neverland once was. And without Wendy beside him, the effort seems doomed to futility. Just as he’s about to give up, though, redemption looms on the horizon…but it will demand sacrifice of monumental proportions. And while Captain Jay might be gone, his schemes haven't been forgotten. The more Peter and the captain and Wendy play their dangerous games, the more Neverland begins to crumble. Everything he loves is going to come crashing down, and Peter must choose which to save before he loses it all.

Book Synopsis Jael the Conqueror by : Bishop Donald R. Downing
Download or read book Jael the Conqueror written by Bishop Donald R. Downing and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jael the Conquer By Bishop Donald Downing Through Biblical research, visions, and inspiration from the Holy Spirit, Bishop Downing brings to life Judges 4 & 5, the tale of a female warrior, a little-known heroine of the Bible: Jael the Conqueror. Like her counterpart David, who slew the giant Goliath, Jael was a black Kenite maiden chosen by God to fulfill her destiny, to slay the giant Sisera and deliver the children of Israel from bondage to Jabin, the wicked king. Deborah the prophetess, a judge over Israel, prophesied that the Lord would sell Sisera into the hands of a woman. As Sisera came running into her tent, fleeing from Barak, Jael knew her life was in danger. She learned how to use her inner weapons of faith and wisdom, as God gave her strength to use milk, a hammer and a nail. As she placed the nail against Sisera's head, she felt the anointing power of God as never before. The Bible states in Judges 4:21, the nail went completely through Sisera's forehead and fastened itself deep into the ground. Jael professed her faith in the true and living God and chose to worship with the Israelites, despite her ancestral lineage. She never allowed her battles to be greater than her worship, prayers and praises to her God. Bishop Donald Downing gives a richly imaginative look into the possible life of Jael the Conqueror, from her childhood to adulthood, as she fought for the rights and protection of all women. He is of the opinion that we should not judge the battles of others if we are not willing to help them to fight their wars.

And what will she do when that reluctant trust begins to change into something more? Jaelle knows better than to trust men. Every girl in Terrefantome knows that. But when her plan to escape her oppressive kingdom with her sister goes awry, she finds herself with an unwanted magical gift and her sister in peril. To make matters worse, Jaelle has been thrust into the company of a foreign prince on a mysterious mission. With no one else to turn to, Jaelle must choose between trusting and aiding him in his quest and receiving his help in return...or saving her sister and breaking the magic on her own. Prince Lucas of Maricanta is on the most important mission of his life. If he fails, his kingdom will be overrun by criminals of the most violent kind. When his meddling mother follows him into enemy territory, however, dragging along some poor girl that she insists is his future wife, he must alter plans to finish his mission and protect them all. Jaelle and Lucas know his mother's plan to betroth them is far-fetched. They also know, however, that in Terrefantome, playing along with the sham engagement is safer by far than the truth.

Download or read book In the Beginning written by Victor Downs and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham, his son Isaac, and his grandson Jacob had joined in laying a firm foundation. The years which the people of Israel spent in Egypt supplied not only a period of testing and trial but also a time of deep significance. Joseph provided a clear indication of the Hebrews' capacity for government by his extraordinary success when serving as Pharaoh's prime minister. With Moses, the spirit of freedom unfolded, and under the guidance of God he presented the necessity of Moral Law in the form of the Ten Commandments. Moreover, under Moses' leadership and that of his successor, Joshua, their people were freed from the physical and mental bondage of Egypt.
Book Synopsis The End of the Beginning by : Johanna W. H. van Wijk-Bos
Download or read book The End of the Beginning written by Johanna W. H. van Wijk-Bos and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The End of the Beginning presents a chapter-by-chapter interpretation of Joshua and Judges, based on the author’s translation. Johanna van Wijk-Bos accompanies the reader through the story of Israel from the entry into Canaan up to the time of Samuel. van Wijk-Bos weaves together the memories of ancient Israel’s past into a story that speaks to the traumatic context of postexilic Judah. The books of Joshua and Judges were written for education, edification, and entertainment. Some of the stories may exhilarate us, some may appall; all will speak to the imagination if we let them. They show a people forging a path forward into an uncertain future in the hope that God will forgive past failures and begin again with them. Christians enter the stories of Israel’s past as outsiders, while at the same time claiming a bond with the same God. We expect more from the text than lessons of the past intended for a different people. These are not our stories, but we too hope for insight and for a guiding word in our own uncertain future. This is the first volume of A People and a Land, a multi-volume work on the historical books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings.

Book Synopsis Hollow Men, Strange Women by : Robin Baker
Download or read book Hollow Men, Strange Women written by Robin Baker and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hollow Men, Strange Women, Robin Baker provides a masterly reappraisal of Israel's experience during its Settlement of Canaan as narrated in the Book of Judges. Written under Assyrian suzerainty in the reign of Manasseh, Judges is both a theological commentary on the Settlement and an esoteric work of prophecy. Its apparent historicity subtly encrypts a grim forewarning of Judah's future, and, in its extensive treatment of otherness, Judges explores the meaning of God’s covenant with Israel. Robin Baker's scholarly and perceptive reading draws on a deep understanding of ancient Hebrew and Mesopotamian symbolic codes to interpret the riddles in this many-layered text. The Book of Judges reveals complex literary configurations from which past, present, and future are simultaneously presented.
