Book excerpt: El Bailío Gran Prior Fray Gian Galeazzo Ruspoli, percibe la visión de un Ángel que le comunica que la Orden de San Juan a la que pertenece necesita de sus servicios como monje guerrero e investigador en el futuro. Sorprendido ante esta petición, no puede evitar que la curiosidad se adueñe de él. El Ángel le cuenta entonces la historia de la Orden de Malta y sus cinco siglos de lucha encarnizada contra el Islam. La Orden había olvidado por completo su faceta militar y se había centrado desde entonces en sus obras hospitalarias, religiosas y culturales. Se encuentra inerme en una complicada trama que podría acabar con la vida de algunos de sus ilustres caballeros profesos investigadores de la historia de Jesús y minar hasta la misma Iglesia. Gian Galeazzo acepta el reto y se ve al instante proyectado hacia el año 2.000, ocho siglos después de la época en la le tocó vivir. Este es el marco donde se desarrollará la labor de Fray Gian Galeazzo quien deberá aportar todas sus virtudes y habilidades para evitar un desenlace trágico. ¿Logrará llevar a cabo su misión celestial? ¿Cambiará la investigación la historia de la Iglesia Católica? La saga de El Profeso está compuesta de momento por: El Profeso, Asesinato en el Letrán, Muerte de Profesos, El Profeso en Tíbet y, en preparación: El Profeso y el diablo. El protagonista Gian Galeazzo está inspirado en la extraordinaria figura de Galeazzo Marescotti, héroe de Bolonia y absolutamente retratada en otra de sus novelas históricas, titulada: El Confaloniero.

Book excerpt: Several young American college students on vacation for Spring Break in Cabo San Lucas are lured away from safety with promises of sex and drugs only to be sacrificed by a blood thirsty Santa Muerte cult that worships death. "Sagliani epitomizes what a sound and seasoned story teller should be in stylistic prose… Saint Death sets the precedent of bone chilling, skin crawling horror fiction and what it ultimately strives to be." - Horror News

Download or read book Golden States of Grace written by Rick Nahmias and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking California as a window into the diversity of religion in America, Golden States of Grace documents marginalized communities at prayer in their own faith traditions. The collection is thoroughly interfaith, introducing us to the nation's only halfway house for addicts self-identified as Jewish, a transsexual gospel choir, a Buddhist community in San Quentin, a Mormon congregation organized by the deaf for the deaf, Latina sex workers worshipping the female folk deity Santísima Muerte, and more. Depictions of conventional middle-class religion are widely visible in the media, but the American public rarely sees the sacred worlds of society's marginalized: the outcasts, the fallen, those that have been labeled "other"--ironically, those whom religion aims to serve. The poignant stories Nahmias has gathered here cross numerous boundaries and ask difficult questions few outsiders have been willing to pose.

Download or read book Religion at the Corner of Bliss and Nirvana written by Lois Ann Lorentzen and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on ethnographic research by an interdisciplinary team of scholars and activists, Religion at the Corner of Bliss and Nirvana illuminates the role that religion plays in the civic and political experiences of new migrants in the United States. By bringing innovative questions and theoretical frameworks to bear on the experiences of Chinese, Filipino, Mexican, Salvadoran, and Vietnamese migrants, the contributors demonstrate how groups and individuals negotiate multiple religious, cultural, and national identities, and how religious faiths are transformed through migration. Taken together, their essays show that migrants’ religious lives are much more than replications of home in a new land. They reflect a process of adaptation to new physical and cultural environments, and an ongoing synthesis of cultural elements from the migrants’ countries of origin and the United States. As they conducted research, the contributors not only visited churches and temples but also single-room-occupancy hotels, brothels, tattoo-removal clinics, and the streets of San Francisco, El Salvador, Mexico, and Vietnam. Their essays include an exploration of how faith-based organizations can help LGBT migrants surmount legal and social complexities, an examination of transgendered sex workers’ relationship with the unofficial saint Santisima Muerte, a comparison of how a Presbyterian mission and a Buddhist temple in San Francisco help Chinese immigrants to acculturate, and an analysis of the transformation of baptismal rites performed by Mayan migrants. The voices of gang members, Chinese and Vietnamese Buddhist nuns, members of Pentecostal churches, and many others animate this collection. In the process of giving voice to these communities, the contributors interrogate theories about acculturation, class, political and social capital, gender and sexuality, the sociology of religion, transnationalism, and globalization. The collection includes twenty-one photographs by Jerry Berndt. Contributors. Luis Enrique Bazan, Kevin M.

Download or read book The Day of the Dead written by Déborah Holtz and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tribute to Mexico’s most important holiday, this extraordinary and definitive volume documents the immense creativity displayed by this popular annual celebration. While there have been other books about the Day of the Dead, most are long out of print and aridly academic. This book features both exceptional “traditional” Indigenous material—such as vibrant folk art and crafts, flamboyant costumes and masks, special food and drink—but also a much more funky, modern approach that blends lively music and dance, colorful parades, cutting-edge contemporary street art, and a festive atmosphere that engages all of the senses with handmade altars, flowers, painted skulls, toys, paintings, murals, and other art objects. Featuring hundreds of specially commissioned photographs and voluminous in-depth research, the book is lavishly illustrated and designed with an aesthetic that draws on both traditional material as well as Mexico’s contemporary street art style. Blending visual elements inspired by the country’s pre-Hispanic heritage, European influences, and modern art trends, the book explores the evolution of the Day of the Dead and the special role it plays. This book is the definitive, authentic resource for all things Day of the Dead.

Download or read book Luis Gerónimo de Oré written by Noble David Cook and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in a provincial city in the Peruvian Andes, the Franciscan linguist and theologian Luis Gerónimo de Oré (1554–1630) lived during a critical period in the formation of the modern world, as the global empire of Spain engaged in a nearly continuous struggle over resources and religion. In the first full-length biography of Oré, Noble David Cook and Alexandra Parma Cook reconstruct the friar’s life and the communities in which he circulated, tracing the career of this first-generation Creole from his roots in Huamanga to his work in Andean missions, his activities at the royal courts of Spain and throughout Spanish America, until his final years as bishop of Concepción, Chile. While serving in Peru’s Colca Valley, Oré composed multilingual texts, translating doctrinal concepts into the indigenous languages Quechua and Aymara, alongside Latin and Spanish, which missionaries and secular clergy frequently used in their conversion efforts. As commissioner to Cuba and La Florida, he inspected the frontier missions along the coast of what became the southeastern United States and wrote an influential history of these outposts and their environment. After Philip III dispatched him to Concepción, Oré spent his last years working in the southernmost end of the Americas, where he continued his advocacy for indigenous justice and engaged in heated arguments with the governor over defensive war, royal patronage, and Indian enslavement. Drawn from research conducted in Spain and Latin America over several decades, this consequential biography recovers from obscurity a colonial friar whose legacy continues in the Andean world today.
