Book Synopsis Sapphira and the Slave Girl by : Willa Cather
Download or read book Sapphira and the Slave Girl written by Willa Cather and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willa Cather’s twelfth and final novel, Sapphira and the Slave Girl, is her most intense fictional engagement with political and personal conflict. Set in Cather’s Virginia birthplace in 1856, the novel draws on family and local history and the escalating conflicts of the last years of slavery—conflicts in which Cather’s family members were deeply involved, both as slave owners and as opponents of slavery. Cather, at five years old, appears as a character in an unprecedented first-person epilogue. Tapping her earliest memories, Cather powerfully and sparely renders a Virginia world that is simultaneously beautiful and, as she said, “terrible.” The historical essay and explanatory notes explore the novel’s grounding in family, local, and national history; show how southern cultures continually shaped Cather’s life and work, culminating with this novel; and trace the progress of Cather’s research and composition during years of grief and loss that she described as the worst of her life. More early drafts, including manuscript fragments, are available for Sapphira and the Slave Girl than for any other Cather novel, and the revealing textual essay draws on this rich resource to provide new insights into Cather’s composition process.

Book Synopsis Bad Girls of the Bible by : Liz Curtis Higgs
Download or read book Bad Girls of the Bible written by Liz Curtis Higgs and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten of the Bible’s best-known femmes fatales parade across the pages of this popular and unforgettable study with situations that sound oh-so-familiar. Women everywhere marvel at those “good girls” in Scripture–Sarah, Mary, Esther–but on most days, that’s not who they see when they look in the mirror. Most women (if they’re honest) see the selfishness of Sapphira or the deception of Delilah. They catch of glimpse of Jezebel’s take-charge pride or Eve’s disastrous disobedience. Like Bathsheba, Herodias, and the rest, today’s modern woman is surrounded by temptations, exhausted by the demands of daily living, and burdened by her own desires. So what’s a good girl to do? Learn from their lives, says beloved Bible study teacher and speaker Liz Curtis Higgs, and choose a better path. Whether they were “Bad to the Bone,” “Bad for a Season, but Not Forever” or only “Bad for a Moment,” these infamous sisters show women how not to handle the challenges of life. With her trademark humor and encouragement, Higgs combines a contemporary retelling of the stories of these “other women” in Scripture with a solid, verse-by-verse study to teach us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace grace. Let these Bad Girls show you why studying the Bible has never been more fun! Includes Discussion Questions and Study Guide

Book Synopsis The Literary Construction of the Other in the Acts of the Apostles by : Mitzi J. Smith
Download or read book The Literary Construction of the Other in the Acts of the Apostles written by Mitzi J. Smith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often the negative characterization of "others" in the biblical text is applied to groups and persons beyond the text whom we wish to define as the Other. Otherness is a synthetic and political social construct that allows us to create and maintain boundaries between "them" and "us." The other that is too similar to us is most problematic. This book demonstrates how proximate characters are constructed as the Other in the Acts of the Apostles. Charismatics, Jews, and women are proximate others who are constructed as the external and internal Other.

Book Synopsis Excusing Sinners and Blaming God by : Guillaume Bignon
Download or read book Excusing Sinners and Blaming God written by Guillaume Bignon and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calvinist determinism destroys moral responsibility and makes God the author of sin. These two accusations are not new, and were arguably anticipated by Paul in Romans 9, but they remain today the most important objections offered against Calvinist/determinist views of human free will. This book is a philosophically rigorous and comprehensive defense of Calvinism against these two families of arguments. With respect to human moral responsibility, it discusses whether determinism destroys "free will," turns humans into pets or puppets, and involves or is analogous to coercion and manipulation. It responds to the consequence argument and direct argument for incompatibilism, the principle of alternate possibilities, the "ought implies can" maxim, and related claims. With respect to the authorship of sin, it discusses whether Calvinist determinism improperly involves God in evil. Does it mean that "God sins," or "causes sin," or "wills sin" in problematic ways? "Does God intend our sin, or (merely) permit sin?" In each case the coherence of the Calvinist view is defended against its most potent objections, to reject the claim that Calvinism is "excusing sinners and blaming God."
Book Synopsis MIROBOLANT FEELINGS: THE DARKNESS OF LOVE by : Georgeta Blendea Zamfir
Download or read book MIROBOLANT FEELINGS: THE DARKNESS OF LOVE written by Georgeta Blendea Zamfir and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presentation of the book ‘Mirobolant Feelings’ written by Georgeta Blendea Zamfir, Doctor Honoris Causa, nominated for the Nobel Prize The book includes 4 micro-novels. I think that the reader from nowadays will find in an artistic sublime concentration, essences in every micro-novel. There is also a link of the micro-novels, a ‘mandala’ how the critics accentuated, namely the solar love. It was stated that nobody from the literature presented the physical and ideal love as I did in this book. The optimistic theories of the personal development that I acquired, highlights the possibility of a world full of happiness. The readers said to me that they have learned to be happy, by reading: ‘Mirobolant Feelings’. The nature with its greatness is a link of the micro-novels. The numbers’ theory will delight in ‘parallel lives, the last micro-novel from the book, with a new and charming vision of love. My femininity does not stop me to register in the horizon of the male pen, as the big critic highlighted, the Romanian academician Constantin Cioproga.
