Book Synopsis Of Chastity and Power by : Philippa Berry
Download or read book Of Chastity and Power written by Philippa Berry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth I was one of the most powerful women rulers in European history. What can feminism reveal about the attitudes of her male subjects towards this enigmatic figure? Through readings of key Elizabethan texts by Lyly, Ralegh, Chapman, Shakespeare, and Spenser, Philippa Berry shows that while Elizabeth's combination of chastity with political and religious power was repeatedly idealized, it was also perceived as extremely disturbing. The figure of the unmarried queen implicitly challenged the masculine focus of Renaissance discourses of love, philosophy and absolutist political ideology. In her exploration of the potent combination of themes of sexuality and politics with classical myth and Neoplatonic mysticism, Berry offers a radical reassessment of the status of ẁoman' as a bearer of meaning within Renaissance literature and culture.--Amazon.com.

Book Synopsis The Chastity Plot by : Lisabeth During
Download or read book The Chastity Plot written by Lisabeth During and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chastity Plot, Lisabeth During tells the story of the rise, fall, and transformation of the ideal of chastity. From its role in the practice of asceticism to its associations with sovereignty, violence, and the purity of nature, it has been loved, honored, and despised. Obsession with chastity has played a powerful and disturbing role in our moral imagination. It has enforced patriarchy’s double standards, complicated sexual relations, and imbedded in Western culture a myth of gender that has been long contested by feminists. Still not yet fully understood, the chastity plot remains with us, and the metaphysics of purity continue to haunt literature, religion, and philosophy. Idealized and unattainable, sexual renunciation has shaped social institutions, political power, ethical norms, and clerical abuses. It has led to destruction and passion, to seductive fantasies that inspired saints and provoked libertines. As During shows, it should not be underestimated. Examining literature, religion, psychoanalysis, and cultural history from antiquity through the middle ages and into modernity, During provides a sweeping history of chastity and insight into its subversive potential. Instead of simply asking what chastity is, During considers what chastity can do, why we should care, and how it might provide a productive disruption, generating new ways of thinking about sex, integrity, and freedom.

Book Synopsis Chastity Is for Lovers by : Arleen Spenceley
Download or read book Chastity Is for Lovers written by Arleen Spenceley and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2014-11-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2015 Catholic Press Award: Books for Teens and Young Adults (First Place). In 2012, journalist Arleen Spenceley outed herself as a twenty-six-year-old virgin in a Tampa Bay Times op-ed that went viral. In Chastity Is for Lovers, Spenceley expands on that piece, advocating Catholic teaching on sex and marriage with candor and humor, and without judgment. In her debut book, seasoned journalist and self-professed “happy virgin” Arleen Spenceley offers a mature, funny, and relatable vision of Catholic teaching on chastity for young adults. Chastity Is for Lovers provides perspective on a variety of topics—the difference between chastity and abstinence, how virginity is an affirming and valuable life choice, how the word “purity” can be harmful in ministry settings, how to date well, and why sexual self-control is the best form of marriage preparation—and gives single adults the best possible chance to find true love. She carefully avoids using language that shames readers and instead presents a view of chastity that is joyful and positive.
Book Synopsis His Fall from Power - The Complete Story: A Female Domination and Male Chastity Novel by : Mistress Benay
Download or read book His Fall from Power - The Complete Story: A Female Domination and Male Chastity Novel written by Mistress Benay and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever Since Mistress Benay published her Award Winning Novel, "His Fall From Power," and then, the exciting and suspenseful Sequel to it, both in Kindle Format, she has been besieged with requests from her loyal readers to combine both Volumes in one Paperback Edition. Here for the first time, the Full Length Complete story of "His Fall From Power" is being published as a Beautiful Paperback.. Thomas McMillian was on Top of the World. As C.E.O. of a rapidly growing Electronics Company, he had it all. The Beautiful Wife, the Mansion in the Suburbs, the Fancy Foreign Cars, and Everything he could possibly wish for, until he made two mistakes which were going to cause him to lose everything. First he hired drop dead gorgeous Ashley Long to be his Executive Secretary, and then he betrayed his Wife, by having an affair with Ashley. Little did Thomas know, that those two mistakes would catapult him into his new role as a slave to his Wife and to his Secretary in this action packed novel filled with Corporate Intrigue and Sensual Relationships. Mistress Benay weaves a plot where the main character does not realize until it is too late that he has been led into a world of Male Chastity, Bondage, Bi-Sexual Relationships, Domestic Servitude, Discipline and Female Domination by the clever maneuvering of his Wife and his Secretary. After Betraying his wife by having an affair, Thomas McMillan now accepts the fact that his life will never be the same again, as his Beautiful wife, Doreen relegates him to the role as her 24/7 slave and maid. A role which Thomas could never have imagined would be filled with so much suffering and indignity. Female Domination, Male Chastity, Bi-Sexual Relationships, and Bondage & Discipline are an every day part of Thomas's new life now that he no longer is in charge of his Company, and has become a helpless slave to his wife, and to his former Secretary Ashley Long. Here is just one of the many Five Star Reviews this Novel has received: "The action in Mistress Benay's 'His Fall From Power' is well paced, often creative, and woman centered. Her style to me is measured and softly worded, rising to a crescendo, then deftly falling back to build again. 'His Fall From Power' is right up there among erotica written for women, by women, but tops my two favorite authors of female erotica, Anne Rice and Pauline Reage as, here, the woman does not suffer for love, but she commands it, demands it, and revels in the devotions a well trained male can provide."

Download or read book Gay and Catholic written by Eve Tushnet and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2015 Catholic Press Award: Gender Issues Category (First Place). In this first book from an openly lesbian and celibate Catholic, widely published writer and blogger Eve Tushnet recounts her spiritual and intellectual journey from liberal atheism to faithful Catholicism and shows how gay Catholics can love and be loved while adhering to Church teaching. Eve Tushnet was among the unlikeliest of converts. The only child of two atheist academics, Tushnet was a typical Yale undergraduate until the day she went out to poke fun at a gathering of philosophical debaters, who happened also to be Catholic. Instead of enjoying mocking what she termed the “zoo animals,” she found herself engaged in intellectual conversation with them and, in a move that surprised even her, she soon converted to Catholicism. Already self-identifying as a lesbian, Tushnet searched for a third way in the seeming two-option system available to gay Catholics: reject Church teaching on homosexuality or reject the truth of your sexuality. Gay and Catholic: Accepting My Sexuality, Finding Community, Living My Faith is the fruit of Tushnet’s searching: what she learned in studying Christian history and theology and her articulation of how gay Catholics can pour their love and need for connection into friendships, community, service, and artistic creation.
Book Synopsis The Beauty of Chastity by : Ev. Paul Mukendi
Download or read book The Beauty of Chastity written by Ev. Paul Mukendi and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman had been caught in the act of adultery, and she was brought to Jesus. While Jesus dealt with the sensitive issue of sexual sins, he did not speak loudly and make a long sermon, but quietly wrote it down. Sometimes honest words that are of a sensitive nature should rather be written down than said. We are aware that sexual matters are not comfortable topics to deal with, as most people treat them with social stigmas, yet we must be diligent to address them thoroughly with the help of the Holy Spirit. These teachings might make someone feel uncomfortable, yet they are one of the most noteworthy teachings of the Bible. The extent and variety of sexual sins are rapidly increasing in our sophisticated societies, so the need has arisen to present sound biblical teachings on sexuality. Many people may find themselves victims of sexual sins because they are ignorant. Hence, the Bible says, “you will know the truth, and truth shall set you free.” The purpose of these teachings is not to embarrass anyone, but to help people discover the truth. This book on chastity seeks to help both married and single people find the necessary motivation to pursue sexual purity in a perverted world, it addresses many sexual problems and objections frequently found in our society. Young people, for whom this book was mainly written, are shown how to live the charisma of virginity and celibacy charismatically — that is as a gift, in all humility, with joy and perfect freedom.

Book Synopsis Money, Sex and Power by : Richard Foster
Download or read book Money, Sex and Power written by Richard Foster and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No issues touch us more profoundly or universally,' writes Richard Foster. 'No topics cause more controversy. No human realities have greater power to bless or curse. No three things have been more sought after or are more in need of a Christian response.' Money, Sex and Power discerns the biblical principles that enable us to live out a relevant and authentic response to the three greatest temptations of our age. Gerard Kelly writes: 'Foster follows a road few in recent years have travelled, and does so with depth, wit and down-to-earth wisdom. Don't assume for one moment that this book is anti-money, anti-sex or anti-power: the author has a healthy respect and admiration for all three as sacred gifts of a loving creator. What he does urge us to do, though, is to "live rightly" in respect of these key ares, and so to be freed into a life of creative celebration.'
Book Synopsis Humanism, Venice, and Women by : Margaret L. King
Download or read book Humanism, Venice, and Women written by Margaret L. King and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published between 1975 and 2003, the essays included in Humanism, Venice, and Women reflect Margaret L. King's distinct but interlocking scholarly interests: humanism and Venice; women and humanism; and women of the Italian Renaissance. The first part focuses on defining the key characteristics of Venetian as opposed to other Italian humanisms, with an analysis of Gramscian theory about the historical role of intellectuals as an aid to understanding humanism in Venice, followed by essays on three Venetian humanists who wrote about family relationships (or the need to avoid them). The third section introduces the major Renaissance women humanists and analyzes the relation of their work to that of male humanists, along with an essay on Renaissance mothers of sons, in Italy and beyond. Crossing boundaries of region and gender, and the subdisciplines of intellectual and social history, these essays are provocative in themselves while demonstrating how shifting historiographical contexts encourage scholars to view the historical record in new and fruitful ways.
Download or read book Naked Chastity written by Dora Muhammad and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dora Muhammad shares an intimate collection of poetry drawn from her life of chastity for over 24 years. From her vow taken as a teenager to her sustained commitment through the end of her thirties, she offers a lyrical narrative that virtue demands more than just not having casual and uncommitted sex. Chastity will move us beyond celibacy and abstinence and cover every fiber of our being in a remarkable and irrevocable way. Speaking to those single and married, she presents a paradigm where sex is sacred, and the consecration of sexual communion within marriage aligns our individual purity with our mutual pleasure, and produces a healing covering for and from our holy matrimony. Inspired by the description of Jesus' healing power as virtue going out from him in the Biblical account of the woman with the issue of blood touching the hem of his garment, she speaks of the spiritual and creative gifts that virtue has imbued into her being. She writes to affirm that we must protect the virtue of our children to allow them to grow into their fullest potential and power; that we can reclaim our own virtue regardless of our past experiences or current circumstances; that virtue is present in the world today to overcome it and transform us through healing in the process of being made whole. This is not a manual, guide or textbook. It seeks to edify others along their personal work of virtue, to nourish seeds of chastity; and through its blossoms, inspire others to refuse to dwell in the land of lack and longing but seek to thrive in an oasis of an abundant outpouring of God's love and healing, where virtue is affirmed.
