Book Synopsis Instructions for the Netherworld by : Alberto Bernabé Pajares
Download or read book Instructions for the Netherworld written by Alberto Bernabé Pajares and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orphic gold tables are key documents for the knowledge of rites and beliefs of Orphics, an atypical group that configured a highly original creed and that influenced powerfully over other Greek writers and thinkers. The recent discovery of some tablets has forced a noteworthy modification of some points of view and a review ofthe different hypothesis proposed about them. The book presents a complete edition of the texts, their translation and some fundamental keys for their interpretation, in an attempt at updating our current knowledge on Orphic ideas about the soul and the Afterlife stated in those texts. The work is improved with an appendix of iconographic annotations in which some plastic representations in drawings are reproduced related to the universe of tablets, selected and commented on by Ricardo Olmos.

Book Synopsis The Waters of Forgetfulness by : Yorick Blumenfeld
Download or read book The Waters of Forgetfulness written by Yorick Blumenfeld and published by Quartet Books (UK). This book was released on 2009 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For the poet Virgil, who made the descent when he was writing his Aeneid, it was unforgettable. For Rufus, the Roman narrator of this memoir, the Underworld was his way of life. In his dirty tunic and straggly false beard, he doubled as the fabled boatman, Charon." "His truly was an unparalleled life: a respected citizen and father above ground and a surly mythical boatman of the river Styx below. This double life was to end when Rufus faced possible execution for murder. As he tells us his story, fully describing the greatest scam of classical antiquity, Charon's narrative is simultaneously irreverent, lustful, philosophic and spiritual. Above all, it is entertaining and full of suspence." "This memoir from the Augustan age takes an intimate and uncritical look at the mores and morals of the period, from the practice of orgies to the mystery cult of the Orphies. Charon's almost visual descriptions of the Roman Hell will haunt the reader, and the cast of characters, topped by Virgil and the prophetic, truly revered Sibyl of Cumae, will entice. As the end of an oracular era, stretching back some 700 years, approaches, the narrative's tension will enthrall." --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis Imaginal Memory and the Place of Hiroshima by : Michael Perlman
Download or read book Imaginal Memory and the Place of Hiroshima written by Michael Perlman and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiroshima claims a crucial yet neglected place in the psychic terrain of our individual and collective memories. Drawing on recent work in depth psychology and Jungian thought, this study explores the ancient art of remembering by envisioning "places" and "images" that are impressed upon the memory. Enthusiastically used by ancient, medieval, and Renaissance explorers of soul and spirit, the art of memory became a profound expression of striving for cultural reform and an end to religious cruelty. Imaginal Memory and the Place of Hiroshima shows that images arising from the place of Hiroshima reveal, with stark exactitude, the psychic situation of our world. Specific images are explored that embody unsuspected psychological values beyond their role as reminders of the concrete horror of nuclear war. The process of remembering these images deepens into a commemoration of the fundamental powers at work in the psyche--powers that are critical to the development of a sustained cultural commitment to peace and to the deepening and revitalizing of contemporary psychological life.

Book Synopsis Redeeming Memory by : Matt Rehrer, M.D.
Download or read book Redeeming Memory written by Matt Rehrer, M.D. and published by Shepherd Press INC. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redeeming Memory is about memory and what the Bible has to say about it. This book examines how God transforms memories from a heavy burden to a blessed hope. Memory plays an important role in the Christian life both in its proper function but also in its corruption. This book is written for Christians who suffer knowingly or unknowingly from the heavy burdens of memory like grumbling, nostalgia, bitterness, regret, shame, as well as future fears of futility and insignificance. God removes these heavy burdens by His mercy at the cross and redeems memory back to its original purpose, to glorify and worship Him.
Book Synopsis The Ring of Truth by : Wendy Doniger
Download or read book The Ring of Truth written by Wendy Doniger and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are sex and jewelry, particularly rings, so often connected? Why do rings continually appear in stories about marriage and adultery, love and betrayal, loss and recovery, identity and masquerade? What is the mythology that makes finger rings symbols of true (or, as the case may be, untrue) love? The cross-cultural distribution of the mythology of sexual rings is impressive--from ancient India and Greece through the Arab world to Shakespeare, Marie Antoinette, Wagner, nineteenth-century novels, Hollywood, and the De Beers advertising campaign that gave us the expression, "A Diamond is Forever." Each chapter of The Ring of Truth, like a charm on a charm bracelet, considers a different constellation of stories: stories about rings lost and found in fish; forgetful husbands and clever wives; treacherous royal necklaces; fake jewelry and real women; modern women's revolt against the hegemony of jewelry; and the clash between common sense and conventional narratives about rings. Herein lie signet rings, betrothal rings, and magic rings of invisibility or memory. The stories are linked by a common set of meanings, such as love symbolized by the circular and unbroken shape of the ring: infinite, constant, eternal--a meaning that the stories often prove tragically false. While most of the rings in the stories originally belonged to men, or were given to women by men, Wendy Doniger shows that it is the women who are important in these stories, as they are the ones who put the jewelry to work in the plots.

Book Synopsis The Treasury of David by : Gene Fedele
Download or read book The Treasury of David written by Gene Fedele and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was one of the most renowned preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as a prolific writer of evangelical works that have impacted the Christian Church over the past two centuries. His Treasury of David is his classic work on the book of Psalms which was originally published within the pages of his The Sword and The Trowel magazine over a 20-year period from 1865-1885, and then published in its entirety in a classic seven-volume set in 1885. The Treasury of David is quite unique in its composition as Spurgeon spent countless hours in libraries searching through the annals of eminent Christian authors throughout Church history for the choice comments he included with each verse of every Psalm—such as, Jonathan Edwards, Augustine, Thomas Brooks, Martin Luther, John Bunyan, Athanasius, Josephus, John Calvin, Thomas Goodwin, Richard Baxter, William Jay, John Trapp, Richard Hooker, William Gurnall, and many more. Upon completion of this work, Spurgeon comments, "The Book of Psalms instructs us in the use of wings as well as words. It sets us both mounting and singing. If I may only hope that these volumes will be as useful to other hearts in the reading as to mine in the writing, I shall be well rewarded by the prospect." One of Spurgeon's pastoral successors at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Eric Hayden, once called this "Spurgeon's Magnus Opus," and his wife, Suzannah, remarked that if her husband had never written any other work, this would have been “a permanent literary memorial.” The publishers at Bridge Logos have republished this superb set from the original 1885 first edition in an easy-to-read 10-volume set which is conveniently divided into volumes that reflect the biblical delineation of the Five Books of the Psalms—and includes a biography of C. H. Spurgeon, by Pure Gold Classics editor, Gene Fedele. “This extraordinary set of commentaries on the Psalms, from one of the Church’s last eminent 'Puritans,’ has educated and inspired generations of Christians since its first release, nearly 150 years ago, and it is our hope and prayer that through this “Treasure” many more will be richly blessed and encouraged in their faith, now and for generations to come,” comments Fedele. This Pure Gold Classics edition of The Treasury of David, by Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), is an expanded 10-volume set, published by Bridge Logos, intentionally divided into the Five Books of the Psalms delineated in the Holy Bible (AKJV). The Treasury of David: Volume One (1865-1885) is an exposition of Psalms 1-17 and includes a condensed biography of the author, C. H. Spurgeon, by editor, Gene Fedele. This First volume, along with volumes Two and Three are the complete commentary of Book One (of Five) of the Psalms, comprised of Psalms 1-41. Each Psalm is expounded, verse by verse, by the “Prince of Preachers” and includes precious biblical insights and applications on the Scripture texts hundreds of eminent Christians throughout history—such as Martin Luther, Thomas Brooks, Josephus, Richard Hooker, Athanasius, Thomas Adams, Augustine, John Calvin, Bernard [of Clairvaux], Thomas Goodwin, Chrysostom, William Jay, John Trapp, and many more. As Spurgeon reflects, “Blessed have been the days spent in meditating, mourning, hoping, believing, and exulting with David! Can I hope to spend hours more joyous on this side of the golden gate?” This classic set remains a priceless “Treasure” of divine spiritual nourishment for every child of God."

Book Synopsis The Tao of Architecture by : Amos Ih Tiao Chang
Download or read book The Tao of Architecture written by Amos Ih Tiao Chang and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1981-07-21 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a contemplative essay that develops a parallel between void, space, time, and the science of vision in Laotzu's philosophy and in modern architecture, Amos Ih Tiao Chang reveals the vitality of intangible, or negative, elements. He writes that these qualities make architectonic forms "come alive, become human, naturally harmonize with one another, and enable us to experience them with human sensibility." The author expands Frank Lloyd Wright's thoughts on the affinity between Laotzu's philosophy and modern Western architecture by discussing "Natural Life-Movement in Architectonic Vision," "Variability and Complement," "Balance and Equilibrium," and "Individuality and Unity." He accompanies his text with architectural drawings and four Chinese paintings.
