Book Synopsis Holy Beauty by : Chrysostomos A. Stamoulis
Download or read book Holy Beauty written by Chrysostomos A. Stamoulis and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The philosophical and theological study of aesthetics has a long and rich history, stretching back to Platos identification of ultimate goodness and beauty, together representing the eternal form. Recent trends in aesthetic theory, however, characterised by a focus on the beautiful at the expense of the good, have made it an object of suspicion in the Orthodox Church. In its place, Greek theologians have sought to emphasise philokalia as a truer theological discipline. Seeking to reverse this trend, Chrysostomos Stamoulis brings into conversation a plethora of voices, from Church fathers to contemporary poets, and from a Marxist political theorist to a literary critic. Out of this dialogue, Stamoulis builds a model for the re-appropriation of Orthodoxys patristic and Byzantine past that is no longer defined in antithesis to the Western present. The openness he proposes allows us to perceive afresh the world shot through with divinity, if only we can lift our gaze to see it. Dismantling the false dichotomy, philokalia or aesthetics, is the first step."

Book Synopsis Mount Athos, the Sacred Bridge by : Dimitri Conomos
Download or read book Mount Athos, the Sacred Bridge written by Dimitri Conomos and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the papers included in this volume were first presented at a conference convened by the Friends of Mount Athos at Madingley Hall, Cambridge, in 2003. Mount Athos is the principal surviving centre of Orthodox monasticism and the spiritual heart of the Orthodox world. The aims of the conference were to draw attention to the historic importance, the spirituality, and the religious legacy of the Holy Mountain and to shed light on the contribution made by Athonite monasticism not only to worldwide Orthodoxy but also to Christianity at large. Many of the papers focus on particular individuals who from the fourteenth century to the twentieth have exemplified the spiritual traditions of Athos and whose memory as spiritual fathers, confessors, and ascetics continues to inspire their successors today.

Book Synopsis The Framing of Sacred Space by : Jelena Bogdanovic
Download or read book The Framing of Sacred Space written by Jelena Bogdanovic and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Framing of Sacred Space offers the first topical study of canopies as essential spatial and symbolic units in Byzantine-rite churches. Centrally planned columnar structures--typically comprised of four columns and a roof--canopies had a critical role in the modular processes of church design, from actual church furnishings in the shape of a canopy to the church's structural core. As architectonic objects of basic structural and design integrity, canopies integrate an archetypical image of architecture and provide means for an innovative understanding of the materialization of the idea of the Byzantine church and its multi-focal spatial presence. The Framing of Sacred Space considers both the material and conceptual framing of sacred space and explains how the canopy bridges the physical and transcendental realms. As a crucial element of church design in the Byzantine world, a world that gradually abandoned the basilica as a typical building of Roman imperial secular architecture, the canopy carried tectonic and theological meanings and, through vaulted, canopied bays and recognizable Byzantine domed churches, established organic architectural, symbolic, and sacred ties between the Old and New Covenants. In such an overarching context, the canopy becomes an architectural parti, a vital concept and dynamic design principle that carries the essence of the Byzantine church. The Framing of Sacred Space highlights significant factors in understanding canopies through specific architectural settings and the Byzantine concepts of space, thus also contributing to larger debates about the creation of sacred space and related architectural taxonomy.

Book Synopsis Operation Southerly Breeze by : Faun Pischerke
Download or read book Operation Southerly Breeze written by Faun Pischerke and published by PrimeConsult. This book was released on 2011-01-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southerly Breeze affords a Darwinian tale of survival of the meanest, where assets become liabilities on the spur of the moment and none is spared. The drama unfolds in Bulgaria, a little known European country with about 6000 years of history, a crucible of cultures and a cauldron of conflicts, shortly before the end of the Cold War. The plot culminates to a closure in the first chapter where several protagonists are introduced and the reader gets an idea of the Byzantine ways of Party circles. Justice bursts in from unexpected corners. The novel brings the idiosyncratic perspective of the common man caught in the whirlpool of events he has no control over and no knowledge of. Additionally, to the Western reader, Cold War action was inevitably depicted along the overtly simplistic dichotomy of the fault lines of 'us' vs. 'them', 'good' vs. 'bad', 'free society' vs. 'the evil empire'. The loud voice of the everyman speaks in the book about a different struggle, hith-erto unknown, a lot more complicated, with degrees of evil, perpetrated by an inherently evil sys-tem. The story spins about three decades and takes place in three different regions of the country, each with own unique ambiance. One is the capital city Sofia. In this ancient, yet modern city government officials communicate with illiterate, colorful Gypsy women and major political de-cisions are adopted behind a wall of secrecy, shrouded by blatant, hollow propaganda clichés. In a 'parallel universe' and at about the same time, another plot develops in the second major city of Plovdiv and its immediate mountain vicinity, all with rich history playing a vital role for the un-folding events. While the ways and means of the local political 'tigress' closely follow in the steps of her highly placed Sofia political patron, she brings some unexpected twists in the fox chase game from her own book and proves to be a cunning and deadly enemy nonetheless. "Nothing personal, business only" is her implied Modus Operandi. The story branches to a small village in the area, a stone's throw away from the Greek border where a young man comes of age in the mythical mountain - the birthplace of Orpheus and Bacchus. In this bucolic village, em-braced by the majestic mountain, doors are never locked and last names not needed. History vio-lently galloped in eons ago, leaving a painful open wound, then let it to its devices. Later on the same village, becomes a scene of clashes and renewed mayhem. It is the arena of immense real drama, where honor, dignity and pride collide with brutal contemporary events, forcing serious decisions, repeating ancient history and bringing it to a complete circle. The same ruthless 'tigress' later seals the young man's fate as she eliminates some live hurdles towards her coveted full membership of the Politburo at the opportune moment in a brilliantly conceived and executed operation. It involves among other things, illicit smuggling, treachery and violence, while bringing unexpected justice to some nefarious characters. Naturally she has no qualms and no regrets flying from the scene of carnage to a 'bargaining rendezvous' of sorts with three of her recent 'bed companions' dead. Later on, after she investigates the life of her 'prematurely departed' old-time go-fer she uncovers completely unexpected facts from her own past, leaving her befuddled. The last subplot develops around the ancient resort city of Varna, on the Black Sea coast ruled by a promiscuous first secretary and his equally unscrupulous, profligate wife. Their despicable deeds are 'rewarded' in an unexpected way in the opening chapter of the book with some belated name play and ominous coincidences. Ancient myths and present day celebrations mingle into an explosive muddle of carnality, violence and death, leading to the ultimate demise of the First regional couple.
