Download or read book The Betrayal of Faith written by Emma Anderson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma Anderson uses one man's compelling story to explore the collision of Christianity with traditional Native religion in colonial North America. Pierre-Anthoine Pastedechouan was born into a nomadic indigenous community of Innu living along the St. Lawrence River in present-day Quebec. At age eleven, he was sent to France by Catholic missionaries to be educated for five years, and then brought back to help Christianize his people. Pastedechouan's youthful encounter with French Catholicism engendered in him a fatal religious ambivalence. Robbed of both his traditional religious identity and critical survival skills, he had difficulty winning the acceptance of his community upon his return. At the same time, his attempts to prove himself to his people led the Jesuits to regard him with increasing suspicion. Suspended between two worlds, Pastedechouan ultimately became estranged--with tragic results--from both his native community and his missionary mentors. An engaging narrative of cultural negotiation and religious coercion, Betrayal of Faith documents the multiple betrayals of identity and culture caused by one young man's experiences with an inflexible French Catholicism. Pastedechouan's story illuminates key struggles to retain and impose religious identity on both sides of the seventeenth-century Atlantic, even as it has a startling relevance to the contemporary encounter between native and non-native peoples.

Download or read book The Betrayal written by Kathleen O'Neal Gear and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2009-03-03 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an alternate story of the life of Jesus. One the early Church fathers found so menacing they outlawed the books that documented it, ordered them burned, and threatened anyone found copying them with death. International bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear put more than thirty years of exhaustive research into this fascinating novel. In A.D. 325, Brother Barnabas is a student of the ancient holy texts. These books paint a portrait of Jesus that is radical, heretical, and irresistible. In the writings of Mary Magdalene, Phillip, and James, Barnabas finds clues to a secret he must protect at all costs. But the Ecumenical Council of Bishops has just declared his cherished books "a hotbed of manifold perversity." Emperor Constantine has decreed that the documents must be burned and that anyone found copying them will be executed as a heretic. Barnabas's monastery is attacked. Brother Barnabas flees with his trusted companions, but they are being followed, for the True Church cannot allow them to find the most sacred place on Earth. In fact, it will do anything to stop them... At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of World War II the Allies faced a threefold challenge: how to punish perpetrators of appalling crimes for which the categories of 'genocide' and 'crimes against humanity' had to be coined; how to explain that these had been committed by Germany, of all nations; and how to reform Germans. The Allied answer to this conundrum was the application of historical reasoning to legal procedure. In the thirteen Nuremberg trials held between 1945 and 1949, and in corresponding cases elsewhere, a concerted effort was made to punish key perpetrators while at the same time providing a complex analysis of the Nazi state and German history. Building on a long debate about Germany's divergence from a presumed Western path of development, Allied prosecutors sketched a historical trajectory which had led Germany to betray the Western model. Historical reasoning both accounted for the moral breakdown of a 'civilised' nation and rendered plausible arguments that this had indeed been a collective failure rather than one of a small criminal clique. The prosecutors therefore carefully laid out how institutions such as private enterprise, academic science, the military, or bureaucracy, which looked ostensibly similar to their opposite numbers in the Allied nations, had been corrupted in Germany even before Hitler's rise to power. While the argument, depending on individual protagonists, subject matters, and contexts, met with uneven success in court, it offered a final twist which was of obvious appeal in the Cold War to come: if Germany had lost its way, it could still be brought back into the Western fold. The first comprehensive study of the Nuremberg trials, The Betrayal thus also explores how history underpins transitional trials as we encounter them in today's courtrooms from Arusha to The Hague.

Book Synopsis Jesus and Judas by : Charles River Charles River Editors
Download or read book Jesus and Judas written by Charles River Charles River Editors and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures*Discusses various theories surrounding Judas's betrayal*Includes excerpts from Scripture *Includes a bibliography for further readingThe life story of Jesus of Nazareth, considered by billions of Christians to be the Messiah prophesized in the Old Testament of the Bible, is perhaps the most famous in history. Described in detail in the New Testament, Jesus comes from both divine yet humble roots, born in a manger to a young woman, but in time he leads a fervent following as tales of his miracles spread across the Holy Land.Some of the details are vividly depicted and instantly familiar. Jesus announces the imminent rule of God, the time when the true owner of this world will intervene decisively in Israel�s history to make right all the wrongs, once and for all. He leaves his footprints by the lakeside. He has no shoes, just like the multitude of dispossessed behind him; he doesn�t carry a money bag, not even a stick. He is followed not by the poor, since most of the people here live in poverty and resent in every way the invasive process of large-scale urbanization that the Roman Empire brought to Israel; he is instead followed by the dispossessed, the people who have nothing left, except their debts, the tax burden and the institutionalized violence that took away their means of livelihood, leaving them with not even a place to rest their heads. They avoid the roads full of armed rebels who have been resisting the Pax Romana for years, and they follow a leader who proclaimed himself Son of God throughout the Empire. The crucifixion and resurrection that follow create the climactic resolution of Jesus' life story and cement his status as the Christ, at least in the eyes of the burgeoning religious movement that would sweep across the region in the coming decades. An anonymous writer would compose the first gospel, Mark, and the major theme would be the way of Jesus to his death. His followers, whose movement would originally be called "the way," would also bring about a new religion that has lasted 20 centuries, and while it is focused on the figure of Jesus, the rural man of Israel who started it all, the historical Jesus was gradually enshrined under layers of sermons, chants, legends and philosophies that would be alien to Jews in Jesus's day. Like ideological strata, they covered the historical facts, obscuring the Jesus of history under the Christ of faith. Even someone with a casual knowledge of the Bible will recognize the name Judas Iscariot. Well known as the disciple who betrayed Jesus, the Messiah, with a kiss, Judas has become synonymous with betrayal and deception. The most infamous of the Apostles, Judas goes from true follower to a turncoat who seemingly sacrifices the cause for personal benefit. Not surprisingly, the names of the other disciples will appear in birth registries around the world, except for Judas, whose name is still associated with suspicion and even fear.It goes without saying that Judas is an interesting character in the development of the salvation history. His person, his act of betrayal and even his replacement were predicted by the Old Testament prophets, which some Biblical scholars take as evidence that Judas was doomed from the beginning to be the betrayer and had no choice. But by taking a closer look at the history, the reader will see several points along the way, even up to the moment of the final kiss, in which Jesus gave Judas the opportunity to repent. God's plan was going to be fulfilled, and God was going to use an individual to bring about the betrayal of Jesus, but at the same time, Judas made several conscious choices along the way to reject the Messiah and turn Jesus over to the Roman authorities. At the same time, a relatively recent discovery has cast doubt on the traditional understanding of Judas's life and actions. Any book about Judas must explore the known and unknown of his life, and the actions that led to Christ's crucifixion.

Book excerpt: Written in response to C.S. Lewis influential 1952 work. Mere Christianity. which stands as a masterpiece of Christian apologetics. By Brandon Toropov. in English. Beyond Mere Christianity - C.S. Lewis the Betrayal of Christianity The book is called Beyond Mere Christianity for two reasons. First. in response to C.S. Lewis influential 1952 work. Mere Christianity. which stands as a masterpiece of Christian apologetics. The second reason. perhaps less obvious. is that a case can be made. based on current. responsible Gospel scholarship. that Jesus was calling his people to the Salvation that lies beyond the worship of the merely created. the Salvation that relies instead on the direct worship of the Creator. I believe emphatically that the authentic words of Jesus invite us to move beyond what is conventionally understood as Christianity for this Salvation.
Download or read book The Judas War written by S P Laurie and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ 700 BC. One people, two kingdoms-one betrayed the other to total destruction. The Christ myth is ancient. The crucifixion account in the gospels relates to events that took place hundreds of years before the supposed time of Jesus. Such are the conclusions of this book which will revolutionise the way we see both Christianity and Judaism. The Judas War uncovers the story of a traumatic conflict in which a Judean king committed a desperate act that led to the annihilation of the sister kingdom of Israel. The surviving nation of Judah was racked by guilt, its population swelled by an enormous influx of refugees. To control a rebellious people, the king and priestly establishment centralised all religion in the Jerusalem temple. But the Judas War lived on through a dissident minority who preserved the bitter memory of the betrayal. The mainstream wrote the scriptures to deflect from their own shame. The dissidents told a very different story. The Judas War takes the reader on an epic journey to the real ancient Israel as revealed by modern archaeology as well as the original texts. It reveals a cosmos ruled by fallen angels; a religious worldview traced back to the Canaanite origins of the Jews. It shows how the unfolding tragedy on earth was explained by a tragedy in heaven: the divine king of the Jews, the Christ, had been crucified by the angelic rulers, the archons. He had been betrayed by the Jerusalem establishment who were represented by the fictional character of Judas Iscariot. After the defeat and exile of Judah, the Christ myth was expanded under a calendar of cosmic days ("the Almanac") to encompass all humanity. The Almanac set out the complete timeline of the world, past, present and future, as a symmetrical whole. It predicted that the Christ would be resurrected from the dead on "the third day" to defeat the archons and establish his new kingdom of heaven. Hundreds of years later in the first century, a female shaman announced that the time had come- Christ had appeared to her... The book reconstructs the Almanac from surviving sources and shows how it explains the gospel crucifixion account. From the strange timing of the crucifixion day to details such as the severed ear and the young man who has his sheet torn away, all come from the Almanac and the Judas War. Going further, the book uncovers a belief that Christ had come to earth three times in three different forms. And how as "the child of seven days" he revealed the shattering secret that would overturn the relationship between God and humanity. S.P. Laurie is the author of The Rock and the Tower and The Thomas Code.
