Book Synopsis Medieval Saints and Modern Screens by : Alicia Spencer-Hall
Download or read book Medieval Saints and Modern Screens written by Alicia Spencer-Hall and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book brings theoretical perspectives from twenty-first century media, film, and cultural studies to medieval hagiography. Medieval Saints and Modern Screens stakes the claim for a provocative new methodological intervention: consideration of hagiography as media. More precisely, hagiography is most productively understood as cinematic media. Medieval mystical episodes are made intelligible to modern audiences through reference to the filmic - the language, form, and lived experience of cinema. Similarly, reference to the realm of the mystical affords a means to express the disconcerting physical and emotional effects of watching cinema. Moreover, cinematic spectatorship affords, at times, a (more or less) secular experience of visionary transcendence: an 'agape-ic encounter'. The medieval saint's visions of God are but one pole of a spectrum of visual experience which extends into our present multi-media moment. We too conjure godly visions: on our smartphones, on the silver screen, and on our TVs and laptops. This book places contemporary pop-culture media - such as blockbuster movie The Dark Knight, Kim Kardashian West's social media feeds, and the outputs of online role-players in Second Life - in dialogue with a corpus of thirteenth-century Latin biographies, 'Holy Women of Liège'. In these texts, holy women see God, and see God often. Their experiences fundamentally orient their life, and offer the women new routes to knowledge, agency, and belonging. For the holy visionaries of Liège, as with us modern 'seers', visions are physically intimate, ideologically overloaded spaces. Through theoretically informed close readings, Medieval Saints and Modern Screens reveals the interconnection of decidedly 'old' media - medieval textualities - and artefacts of our 'new media' ecology, which all serve as spaces in which altogether human concerns are brought before the contemporary culture's eyes.

Book Synopsis Seers, Saints, and Sinners by : Reed Samuel Anderson
Download or read book Seers, Saints, and Sinners written by Reed Samuel Anderson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-06-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to give you an informal glimpse of astonishing personalities within the Latter-Day Saint Movement. This work is for informational purposes aimed at your personal enlightenment and not designed to be placed within the academic field. It may be considered as a guidebook, or a "Who's Who," revealing remarkable individuals related to the theme of this book. Simply put, this book is basically a narrative of "free-spirited" individuals associated with the movement by birth, membership or association along with their notable achievements. As you have noticed, the title introduces three words: Seers, Saints, and Sinners. Within the context of this book, we must know the meanings of these words as they are applied herein. By definition, a "seer" is a person who sees things others cannot, a person who prophesies future events, a person endowed with profound moral and spiritual insight or knowledge, or a person who is reputed to have special powers of divination, as a crystal gazer or palmist. You will discover Joseph Smith was not the only personality claiming to be a seer to guide his followers. During the early days of the Latter-Day Saint Movement up to the present, there have been numerous individuals claiming to have received revelations from God. They truly believed in their seership, and convinced many members of the movement to follow them. The majority of these kinds of seers are connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, claiming the church is in a state of apostasy or have received new scriptures from God. Most people understand the word "saint" pertains to an individual of exceptional virtue, benevolence, and holiness of life, formally recognized as such by the Christian Church, especially by canonization. As used in this book, a saint is a founder, sponsor, or patron, of a movement or organization. In certain religious groups, such as those of the Latter-Day Saint Movement, the word is applied by the members to themselves. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints specifically refer to themselves as "saints." This book will cover the full spectrum of saints from persons not in harmony with church doctrines to those with an unwavering testimony, faith, and commitment towards the benefit of all humanity regardless of gender, race, or religion. Obviously, we all know what a "sinner" is. By definition a sinner is a person who has broken a religious or moral law; one that has voluntarily violated the divine law; a moral agent who has voluntarily disobeyed any divine precept, or neglected any known duty; an unregenerate person; one who has not received the pardon of his sins. I felt obligated to reveal a few sinners that either rebelled against the movement for selfish and personal glorification, or committed serious infractions of moral laws. Some deliberately used deception to challenge the church. Those that have committed murder and mayhem are surely classified as sinners, and several are mentioned in this work. As this book is organized into informal short accounts, please take your time going over each profile or casually read them in any preferred order. From the examples of those presented in this book we should never be ashamed to be different from our peers. The world is a better place when we have variety of thoughts and actions; otherwise, we would be no better off than sheep in the fields, exclusively relying on nature alone. Besides, you may discover personalities in this book that are just like yourself! REED S. ANDERSON
Book Synopsis The Modern Saints by : Gracie Morbitzer
Download or read book The Modern Saints written by Gracie Morbitzer and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saints were the original social justice advocates. This stunning collection of contemporary portraits celebrates their diversity and spiritual depth as never before, accompanied by thoughtful reflections from bestselling and influential writers. “This book is profound, insightful, and beautifully disruptive.”—Sarah Bessey, author of the New York Times bestsellers A Rhythm of Prayer and Jesus Feminist Over the centuries, the rich diversity and relevance of the saints has been whitewashed, their images portrayed as expressionless, and the lessons of their lives watered down. But artist, writer, and modern iconographer Gracie Morbitzer is painting the truth. The Modern Saints is a celebration of the divergence of ethnicities, ages, abilities, and practices of spiritual pilgrims who transformed the world, and an invitation to connect with historical icons whose lives have astonishing and inspiring relevance for our present-day. Each entry of this striking collection features a contemporary image of the saint, a re-imagining of the space they might hold in society today, and an inspiring prayer to honor each figure. Readers will appreciate each contribution from our current generation's spiritual thought leaders that illuminate the impact and wisdom each historical saint offers us today. Among forty-eight additional spiritual reflections and original paintings, The Modern Saints presents: • Fr. James Martin’s reflections on the flexibility of St. Ignatius of Loyola to encounter God in everyday life • Tsh Oxenreider's unique appreciation for the endurance of St. Monica with her strong-willed children • Dr. Christena Cleveland's praise for St. Catherine of Alexandria’s fight for intersectional justice • Kirby Hoberg’s inspiration from the resilience of St. Kateri—the first indigenous American to be canonized—who overcame personal humiliation to cultivate love in her community With its unique portraits and compelling narrative, this 52-week collection is perfect for devotional reading, as it will move, encourage, and strengthen each reader as they find solidarity and profound belonging within the host of saints.

Book Synopsis Christian Mystics by : Carl McColman
Download or read book Christian Mystics written by Carl McColman and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Mystics: 108 Seers, Saints and Sages celebrates the many types of mystics, visionaries, wisdom keepers, and non-dualists whose spiritual insight and perceptive teachings have illuminated the Christian tradition for the past two thousand years. Looking at 108 mystics from Biblical times to the present day, this user-friendly guide shows how the spiritual masters of the western tradition provide a variety of paths into the transforming heart of God. Everyone needs teachers and companions to guide and nurture us in developing rich interior lives -- as we seek to respond to the beatifying, deifying love of God. The mystics, whose legacy includes sublime poetry, fascinating autobiographies, and potentially life-changing teachings, can help anyone find greater love, purpose, and a deeper sense of God's presence. But the mystics are not a uniform bunch, which is why this book is such an essential guide to their lives, wisdom, and essential teachings. Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism, organizes the mystics into nine categories: visionaries, confessors, lovers, poets, saints, heretics, wisdom keepers, soul-friends, and unitives. By profiling twelve examples of great mystics and spiritual teachers in each category, the book can help you to learn more about the mystics, and identify those whose writings will be most valuable to you as you pursue your own adventure of falling ever more deeply in love with God.All of the most famous Christian mystics are profiled here: figures like Teresa of çvila, Meister Eckhart, Julian of Norwich, John of the Cross, Evelyn Underhill, Thomas Merton, and anonymous masters like the authors of classics like The Cloud of Unknowing or The Way of a Pilgrim. But the book also will introduce you to many lesser known (but truly wonderful) mystical geniuses, such as Beatrice of Nazareth, Gregory of Narek, and Coventry Patmore. Nor does the book shy away from living (or recently living) mystics: visionaries such as Howard Thurman, Sara Grant, Kenneth Leech, and Bruno Barnhart are all included.This informative volume will appeal to those who buy religious reference books and anyone interested in Christian mysticism or western spirituality. But it's more than just a history book or an encyclopedia: Christian Mystics: 108 Seers, Saints and Sages is a curated celebration of western spiritual wisdom, making it accessible for all seekers today.
