Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a thousand years, Christians denounced the Pythagoreans. They complained that Pythagoras did "ten thousand kinds of sorcery" healing the sick, predicting events, and stopping storms over rivers and seas so that his disciples might sail across them, like Jesus Christ. Some pagans said that Pythagoras was the son of the god Apollo and a human mother. Whereas Jesus died and resurrected only once, Pythagoras survived death multiple times as his soul was repeatedly reborn in other bodies. Whereas Jesus was dead for less than three days before his resurrection, Pythagoras allegedly spent two centuries in Hell, yet he returned to life. And similarly to the apostles of Jesus, some of the disciples of Pythagoras allegedly exorcised demons and resurrected the dead. But unlike the apostles, some of the Pythagoreans returned to life after death. Saint Hippolytus of Rome criticized this "alliance between heresy and the Pythagorean philosophy," and he denounced the "disciples not of Christ but of Pythagoras." The Pythagorean cosmology also troubled the Christians. The Pythagoreans said that that the infernal regions begin with the Milky Way, souls fall from it to Earth, and that animals' souls come from the stars. They said the Earth moves, and that stars and planets were other worlds. They said that souls live in those countless worlds, and that there were demons living on the Moon. They said that Pythagoras came from Jupiter and had lived on the Moon as a demon. For centuries, the Christians rejected such "poisonous doctrines" and "devilish lies" of the Pythagoreans. The present book traces the development of Pythagorean beliefs about religion and astronomy, explaining how Church Fathers condemned such beliefs, and how that conflict reappeared in the Renaissance. This book is related to Burned Alive: Giordano Bruno, Galileo, and the Inquisition (Reaktion, 2018). While that book focused on Bruno, Galileo, and the Inquisition, this new book focuses on the religious conflicts between Christians and Pythagoreans. Historians know that the Pythagoreans were a secretive religious group, yet there was no historical account of how the early Christians criticized their evolving pagan beliefs and how such heresies resurfaced in the Copernican Revolution. How did the ancient Pythagorean religion relate to astronomy? How did it clash with Christianity? Alberto A. Martinez is a professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of several books, including Burned Alive (2018), The Cult of Pythagoras: Math and Myths (Univ. of Pittsburgh Press, 2012), Science Secrets (Univ. of Pittsburgh Press, 2011), Kinematics: the Lost Origins of Einstein's Relativity (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009), and Negative Math (Princeton University Press, 2005).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a critical evaluation of the doctrine of the Trinity, tracing its development and investigating the intellectual, philosophical and theological background that shaped this influential doctrine of Christianity. Despite the centrality of Trinitarian thought to Christianity and its importance as one of the fundamental tenets that differentiates Christianity from Judaism and Islam, the doctrine is not fully formulated in the canon of Christian scriptural texts. Instead, it evolved through the conflation of selective pieces of scripture with the philosophical and religious ideas of ancient Hellenistic milieu. Marian Hillar analyzes the development of Trinitarian thought during the formative years of Christianity from its roots in ancient Greek philosophical concepts and religious thinking in the Mediterranean region. He identifies several important sources of Trinitarian thought heretofore largely ignored by scholars, including the Greek middle-Platonic philosophical writings of Numenius and Egyptian metaphysical writings and monuments representing divinity as a triune entity.

Book excerpt: One out of every five verses includes a number, and oftentimes numbers in Scripture are overlooked or ignored for lack of understanding. This is especially true of symbolic passages such as those describing the twelve spies of Israel, the Good Samaritan, and the forty-two months of tribulation. So how should one interpret these numbers? Literally or figuratively? How about mathematically? Pythagorean math-the process by which all numbers are reduced to one of the first nine digits-is often attributed to the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, but there is evidence within the Bible that it may have originated from God and even been used by Daniel. By examining the Pythagorean numbers associated with numbers in the Bible and the Hebrew and Greek words they were translated from, new author Tamera Fisher offers a better understanding of the messages hidden within the most common Bible stories. Numbered: Using Pythagorean Math to Understand Scriptures is a foundation for further studies of the meanings of symbolism in Scripture. Use this tool to thoroughly investigate the Scriptures and share your discoveries as validation of the authorship of the Word with those around you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surviving fragments of information about Pythagoras (born ca. 570 BCE) gave rise to a growing set of legends about this famous sage and his followers, whose reputations throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages have never before been studied systematically. This book is the first to examine the unified concepts of harmony, proportion, form, and order that were attributed to Pythagoras in the millennium after his death and the important developments to which they led in art, architecture, mathematics, astronomy, music, medicine, morals, religion, law, alchemy, and the occult sciences. In this profusely illustrated book, Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier sets out the panorama of Pythagoras's influence and that of Christian and Jewish thinkers who followed his ideas in the Greek, Roman, early Christian, and medieval worlds. In illuminating this tradition of thought, Joost-Gaugier shows how the influence of Pythagoreanism was far broader than is usually realized, and that it affected the development of ancient and medieval art and architecture from Greek and Roman temples to Gothic cathedrals.Joost-Gaugier demonstrates that Pythagoreanism—centered on the dim memory of a single person that endured for centuries and grew ever-greater—inspired a new language for artists and architects, enabling them to be "modern."

"Here is a historical novel for the spirits in quest of awakening... Karim El-Koussa, or the literature in awakening." - Appeared in L'orient le Jour, Wednesday October 3, 2001. "Pythagoras is the quest of a Lebanon, its historical identity, and the spiritual identity of the Human Being. This novel is an essay of religion, philosophy and science, brought together into the human consciousness." - "Appeared in the Magazine, issue of November 2, 2001: "On the 19th of December 2001, at the Lebanese Press Syndicate, the poet and thinker Saiid Akl, gave his 90th award to the young Lebanese author, Karim El-Koussa. He said: I'm very happy that I'm giving my prize to Karim... I'm indeed very proud of that work on the Great Pythagoras." - Appeared in As-Safir, December 19, and Ad-Diyar, December 21, 2001. In an interview with Said Akl in the magazine Al-Afkar, issued January 21, 2002, the notorious Lebanese poet stated: "In 2001, there appeared three books that brightened the year... the third book was Pythagoras by Karim El-Koussa, which speaks deeply about Pythagoras, of Lebanese origin, son of Saydoun (Sidon), and one of the world's giants who has greatly influenced the sciences and religions." In October 2005, the book received two official citations for achievement in Literature in the USA; one was bestowed by the Mayor of the city of Waterbury and the other by the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important mathematical theorems is named after Pythagoras of Samos, but this semi-mythical Greek sage has more to offer than formulas. He is said to have discovered the numerical nature of the basic consonances and transposed the musical proportions to the cosmos, postulating a "harmony of the spheres." He may have coined the words "cosmos" and "philosophy." He is also believed to have taught the doctrine of transmigration of souls and therefore to have advised a vegetarian diet. Ancient legends have Pythagoras conversing with dogs, bears, and bulls. A distinctly Pythagorean way of life, including detailed ritual regulations, was observed by his disciples, who were organized as a secret society. Later, Pythagorean and Platonic teachings became fused. In this Platonized form, Pythagoreanism has remained influential through medieval Christianity and the Renaissance down to the present. Christoph Riedweg's book is an engaging introduction to the fundamental contributions of Pythagoras to the establishment of European culture. To penetrate the intricate maze of lore and ascertain what history can tell us about the philosopher, Riedweg not only examines the written record but also considers Pythagoras within the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual context of his times. The result is a vivid overview of the life and teachings of a crucial Greek thinker and his most important followers.

Book excerpt: Homage to Pythagoras collects essential documents by people at the leading edge of the sacred sciences today. These articles--both scholarly and sympathetic to the Pythagorean perspective--are proof of the contemporary interest in Pythagoras' philosophy as a living reality and provide a major addition to the field of Pythagorean studies and traditional mathematics. Contents: Introduction by Christopher Bamford "Ancient Temple Architecture" by Robert Lawlor "The Platonic Tradition on the Nature of Proportion" by Keith Critchlow "What is Sacred Architecture? by Keith Critchlow "Twelve Criteria for Sacred Architecture" by Keith Critchlow "Pythagorean Number as Form, Color, and Light" by Robert Lawlor "The Two Lights" by Arthur Zajonc "Apollo: The Pythagorean Definition of God" by Anne Macaulay "Blake, Yeats, and Pythagoras" by Kathleen Raine About the Authors ROBERT LAWLOR is the author of Sacred Geometry; Earth Honoring; and Voices of the First Day. After training as a painter and a sculptor, he became a yoga student of Sri Aurobindo and lived for many years in Pondicherry, India, where he was a founding member of Auroville. In India, he discovered the works of the French Egyptologist and esotericist, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, which led him to explore the principles and practices of ancient sacred science. KEITH CRITCHLOW is the author of Order in Space; and Time Stands Still. A painter, Critchlow discovered geometry intuitively. A period of intensive geometric practice and work with Buckminster Fuller led him to recognize that the universal principles of geometry are revealed and confirmed both by the area of design where art and mathematics meet and in the study of nature and ancient and medieval sacred cosmological architecture of temples, cathedrals, and mosques. He has been a senior lecturer at the Architectural Association in London and taught Islamic Art at the Royal College of Art. He has also participated as geometer in various sacred architectural projects, and is a cofounder of Temenos, a journal devoted to the arts and imagination, and Kairos, a society that investigates, studies, and promotes traditional values of art and science. ARTHUR ZAJONC is Professor of Physics at Amherst College, where his research has concerned the nature of light and the experimental foundations of quantum mechanics. He has also taught and written extensively on interdisciplinary aspects of science, the history of science, culture, and spirituality, especially the works of Goethe and Rudolf Steiner. He is the author Catching the Light and The New Physics and Cosmology, featuring dialogues with the Dalai Lama. He has been a visiting scientist at many laboratories and was a Fulbright professor. ANNE MACAULAY lives in Scotland where she has, for many years, studied the origins of the alphabet, the history of the guitar, the figure of Apollo, and other mysteries surrounding Pythagorean thought. She has lectured at Research into Lost Knowledge Organization (RILKO) and was a trustee of the Salisbury Center in Edinburgh. KATHLEEN RAINE was a British poet with an international reputation as a scholar of the imagination. A renowned student of William Blake, a penetrating critic, and a profound autobiographer, she wrote numerous books and articles. Kathleen Raine was a cofounder and the editor of Temenos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quest for truth is a passionate adventure, while philosophy is a total commitment. Such are the values that marked the exceptional destiny of Pythagoras, whose genius was equalled only by the mystery that still surrounds him. This is an atypical book that completely renews the approach to an enigma dating back twenty-five centuries. Thoroughly documented but resolutely freed from the conventions and stereotypes of a certain critical tradition coming from Aristotle, it aims to unveil new perspectives on the 'Pythagorean question', which should -at last- enable everyone to penetrate the intimacy of the Master of Samos' thought, with a chance to rediscover the path to a lost wisdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Christian Gnosis did not spring up in isolation, but drew upon earlier sources. In this book, many of these sources are revealed for the first time. Special emphasis is placed on the Hellenistic doctrine of the "Solar Logos" and the early Christian symbolism which depicted Christ as the Spiritual Sun, the illumination source of order, harmony, and spiritual insight. Based on 15 years of research, this is a unique book which throws a penetrating light on the secret traditions of early Christianity. It clearly demonstrates that number is at the heart of being. Jesus Christ, Sun of God, illustrates how the Christian symbolism of the Spiritual Sun is derived from numerical symbolism of the "ancient divinities."
