Book excerpt: "Wearing one crown, with a gem of every belief known, He is the God of Many Faces".Uplifting experiences, no matter our country of origin, depend on our ability, as human beings, to be open to other points of view. We were made to be different and are expected to think as individuals. Therefore, our thoughts and beliefs are worthy of respect. We all have a story.It is not the responsibility of religion, or non-religion, to create peace in the world, but rather humanity and the way we treat each other. My highest appeal to mankind is that we learn to best coexist through love which conquers all.This book takes the reader on a journey of thought-provoking views to dismantle the very idea that the Creator could only exist in one form, bearing one face.

Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Murukan by : Fred W. Clothey
Download or read book The Many Faces of Murukan written by Fred W. Clothey and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems - both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.
Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Christ by : Michele Bacci
Download or read book The Many Faces of Christ written by Michele Bacci and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to current portrayals of Jesus of Nazareth, we are apt to think of him as having long hair and a short beard. But, the holy scriptures do not describe Christ’s physiognomy, and his representations are inconsistent in early Christian and medieval arts. How did this long-haired archetype come to be accepted in the late ninth century as the standard iconography of the Son of God? To answer this question, The Many Faces of Christ examines the complex historical and cultural dynamics underlying the making and final establishment of Christ’s image between late antiquity and the early Renaissance. Taking into account a broad spectrum of iconographic and textual sources, Michele Bacci describes the process of creating Christ’s image against the backdrop of ancient and biblical conceptions of beauty and physicality as indicators of moral, ascetic, or messianic qualities. He investigates the increasingly dominant role played by visual experience in Christian religious practice, which promoted belief in the existence of ancient documents depicting Christ’s appearance, and he shows how this resulted in the shaping of portrait-like images that were said to be true to life. With glances at analogous progressions in the Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, and Taoist traditions, this beautifully illustrated book will be of interest to specialists of Late Antique, Byzantine, and medieval studies, as well as anyone interested in the shifting, controversial conceptions of the historical figure of Jesus Christ.
Book Synopsis The Many Faces of George Washington by : Carla Killough McClafferty
Download or read book The Many Faces of George Washington written by Carla Killough McClafferty and published by Carolrhoda Books ®. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look into the life of America’s first president and the efforts to recreate what he may have actually looked like at different points of that life. George Washington’s face has been painted, printed, and engraved more than a billion times since his birth in 1732. And yet even in his lifetime, no picture seemed to capture the likeness of the man who is now the most iconic of all our presidents. Worse still, people today often see this founding father as the “old and grumpy” Washington on the dollar bill. In 2005 a team of historians, scientists, and artisans at Mount Vernon set out to change the image of our first president. They studied paintings and sculptures, pored over Washington’s letters to his tailors and noted other people’s comments about his appearance, even closely examined the many sets of dentures that had been created for Washington. Researchers tapped into skills as diverse as 18th-century leatherworking and cutting-edge computer programming to assemble truer likenesses. Their painstaking research and exacting processes helped create three full-body representations of Washington as he was at key moments in his life. And all along the way, the team gained new insight into a man who was anything but “old and grumpy.” Join award-winning author Carla Killough McClafferty as she unveils the statues of the three Georges and rediscovers the man who became the face of a new nation.
Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Christ by : Philip Jenkins
Download or read book The Many Faces of Christ written by Philip Jenkins and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Many Faces of Christ religious historian Philip Jenkins refutes our most basic assumptions about the Lost Gospels and the history of Christianity. He reveals that hundreds of alternative gospels were never lost, but survived and in many cases remained influential texts, both outside and within the official Church. We are taught that these alternative scriptures--such as the Gospels of Thomas, Mary, or Judas--represented intoxicating, daring and often bizarre ideas that were wholly suppressed by the Church in the fourth and fifth centuries. In bringing order to the tumult, the Church canonized only four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The rest, according to this standard account, were lost, destroyed, or hidden. But more than a thousand years after Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and made his Roman Empire do the same, the Christian world retained a much broader range of scriptures than would be imaginable today"--

Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Herod the Great by : Adam Kolman Marshak
Download or read book The Many Faces of Herod the Great written by Adam Kolman Marshak and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-22 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An old, bloodthirsty tyrant hears from a group of Magi about the birth of the Messiah, king of the Jews. He vengefully sends his soldiers to Bethlehem with orders to kill all of the baby boys in the town in order to preserve his own throne. For most of the Western world, this is Herod the Great -- an icon of cruelty and evil, the epitome of a tyrant. Adam Kolman Marshak portrays Herod the Great quite differently, however, carefully drawing on historical, archaeological, and literary sources. Marshak shows how Herod successfully ruled over his turbulent kingdom by skillfully interacting with his various audiences -- Roman, Hellenistic, and Judaean -- in myriad ways. Herod was indeed a master in political self-presentation. Marshak's fascinating account chronicles how Herod moved from the bankrupt usurper he was at the beginning of his reign to a wealthy and powerful king who founded a dynasty and brought ancient Judaea to its greatest prominence and prosperity.
Download or read book God The Cult written by Seth Kinstle and published by Seth Kinstle. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People submit to religions and commit to several concepts of morality. We decide who we like based on simple tastes. The communities of humanity seem split in many diverse cultures. Can we bridge the differences of our controversial preferences? When does love become a cash grab? When do forceful tendencies become psychologically unappealing? These are a few of the questions I challenge in this perceptual take on what it means to have a sense of community.

Book Synopsis The Many Faces of the Goddess by : Izak Cornelius
Download or read book The Many Faces of the Goddess written by Izak Cornelius and published by Saint-Paul. This book was released on 2004 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a multitude of female figures represented in the art of the ancient Near East and it has often been proved difficult to differentiate them. This study presents a collection of visual source material on godesses from Egypt, Ugarit, Syria and Palestine from c,1500 to 1000 BC. An introduction to the subject and previous research precedes a discussion of iconographic types (armed, seated, standing, equestrian and named women holding objects) and media (including reliefs, seals and amulets, bronze figurines, ivories and ostraca). Cornelius devises a typology of attributes for the goddess Anat, Astarte, Qedeshet and Asherah in order to define their individual qualities and provide a means by which these goddesses can be differentiated. Includes a large descriptive catalogue.
Book Synopsis The Many Faces of God by : Jaap Durand
Download or read book The Many Faces of God written by Jaap Durand and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, theologians and philosophers have brought about profound changes in the discourse about God. The orthodox image of God, developed in the previous seventeen centuries in Roman Catholicism, as well as within Protestantism, has come under great pressure, but it would be wrong to think that this image is no longer relevant and that only a few conservative Christians hold on to it.

Book Synopsis The Many Faces of God by : Walter Prucnel
Download or read book The Many Faces of God written by Walter Prucnel and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God looked at the earth with despair. He knew the future of earth was dismal; it was prone to the pollutions created by man. Worse yet, people in many countries were killing others for their different religious beliefs. Gone was the day of the cross and bow when men fought each other face to face. Now many countries were making weapons that could travel great distances to kill millions. This both saddened and angered Him and He knew something had to be done. Should I create another flood? Have everyone turned into salt? No, none of these would work because many souls would be sent to Hell and Satan could not accommodate that many. He could perform miracles to improve these conditions, but that would take away the Earthlings' freewill. The only solution was for the Earthlings to improve their own fate with a little help from Him. Summoning his Undergods, He gave them instructions to choose a few Earthlings, approach them through apparitions and give them minor powers, which would aid them in their missions. Thus, The Many Faces of God begins.
Book Synopsis The Human Faces of God by : Thom Stark
Download or read book The Human Faces of God written by Thom Stark and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does accepting the doctrine of biblical inspiration necessitate belief in biblical inerrancy? The Bible has always functioned authoritatively in the life of the church, but what exactly should that mean? Must it mean the Bible is without error in all historical details and ethical teachings? What should thoughtful Christians do with texts that propose God is pleased by human sacrifice or that God commanded Israel to commit acts of genocide? What about texts that contain historical errors or predictions that have gone unfulfilled long beyond their expiration dates? In The Human Faces of God, Thom Stark moves beyond notions of inerrancy in order to confront such problematic texts and open up a conversation about new ways they can be used in service of the church and its moral witness today. Readers looking for an academically informed yet accessible discussion of the Bible's thorniest texts will find a thought-provoking and indispensible resource in The Human Faces of God.
