Download or read book The Matriverse written by Manoharan Govindaraj and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05-05 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of original essays that challenge or comment differently on some commonly held idea or concept. "The Matriverse" proposes a hypothesis for the origin of our universe from a Christian perspective. It was the outcome of a an intellectual struggle to reconcile Biblical Creation with modern scientific thought. It conjures up a vision of the Cosmos closer to infinity. "A childhood shocker" records an intellectually challenging encounter at age 12 which was seared into memory. "A breakfast reverie" is a day-dream which leads to a commentary on the theory of Evolution. "April 15 was originally composed as a parody on Income Tax, and has been revised as a hypothesis on the abolition of Income Tax. "Overtrading without Brakes" is a hypothesis on the recession of 2008. It interprets the Recession from the perspective of a management accountant. "Turning the clock back" is a hypothesis on the composition and timing of the Gospel of St. Matthew" and contains arguments to show that, contrary to popular belief, most of the Gospel of St. Matthew was already written before the crucifixion.
Book Synopsis The Diaries of St. Matthew by : Mano Govindaraj
Download or read book The Diaries of St. Matthew written by Mano Govindaraj and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a drama about how the gospel of St. Matthew may have been written by Matthew, one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. One day Jesus went to the tax office at Capernaum without any notice whatsoever and called Matthew. Matthew saw something so special in Jesus that he honored him with a family feast that same day and humbled himself to become a disciple of Jesus. Matthew was a tax collector of the Roman government and was therefore well trained in writing records and diaries. The diaries began with the call of Matthew and ended a few days after the resurrection. The drama presents a scenario for the origin of the synoptic puzzle and considers why these diaries remained unknown to the early Christians for two generations. The only assumption we need to make is that those devout people who put together the original Greek Bible acted in good faith and knew what they were doing when they placed it as the first book of their new scripture.
Book Synopsis The Authorized Biography of Jesus Christ by : Mano Govindaraj
Download or read book The Authorized Biography of Jesus Christ written by Mano Govindaraj and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author describes how as a high school student, he first met the "scientific approach to the study of the Gospels" and learned that the Gospel of St. Matthew was copied from an "older" document called "Q." The question arose: if Matthew was a disciple of Jesus, why would he need another document to write about Jesus? A life-long struggle to answer that question resulted in the development of this new Interpretation. Matthew was a trained tax accountant. Taxation is all about keeping records and diaries. Jesus called Matthew to be a disciple. Matthew did what he knew best keeping records and diaries as directed by Jesus. Analyzing its contents using principles of information assurance, Mano concludes that this gospel is in two parts. The first nine chapters happened before the call of Matthew, and the source of data is Jesus. After chapter ten, Matthew is the source of data. He recorded events as indicated by Jesus, including events after the arrest. This is the justification for calling it an authorized biography of Jesus Christ. The Ascension is omitted. That significant omission proves that this gospel was not written by a later Christian believer or organization, but happened because Matthew ceased his diaries before the Ascension. These diaries were obtained by Christians many years later and recognized as a gospel.
Book Synopsis PaGaian Cosmology by : Glenys Livingstone
Download or read book PaGaian Cosmology written by Glenys Livingstone and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PaGaian Cosmology brings together a religious practice of seasonal ritual based in a contemporary scientific sense of the cosmos and female imagery for the Sacred. The author situates this original synthesis in her context of being female and white European transplanted to the Southern Hemisphere. Her sense of alienation from her place, which is personal, cultural and cosmic, fires a cosmology that re-stories Goddess metaphor of Virgin-Mother-Crone as a pattern of Creativity, which unfolds the cosmos, manifests in Earth's life, and may be known intimately. PaGaian Cosmology is an ecospirituality grounded in indigenous Western religious celebration of the Earth-Sun annual cycle. By linking to story of the unfolding universe this practice can be deepened, and a sense of the Triple Goddess-central to the cycle and known in ancient cultures-developed as a dynamic innate to all being. The ritual scripts and the process of ritual events presented here, may be a journey into self-knowledge through personal, communal and ecological story: the self to be known is one that is integral with place. PaGaian Cosmology may be used as a resource for individuals or groups seeking new forms of devotional expression and an Earth-based pathway to wisdom within.

This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills the very real need for an affordable, accessible, academic textbook featuring Goddesses from a wide range of world religious, cultural and mythological traditions. As a textbook, its primary audience is professors and students in university and college courses in Goddess Studies, Religious Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies. It will also be of interest to students and instructors in the many Goddess-themed courses outside the academy. The contributors to the textbook were selected for their scholarly expertise and qualifications in their respective areas of study, both established and emerging scholars from Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Scandinavia, and Australia. The Goddess traditions surveyed in the 23 chapters include the Female Divine in the major world religions-not only Hinduism and Buddhism, but also in the "Western Religions" of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, popularly regarded as impervious to the Goddess. The coverage ranges from ancient to contemporary, Mago to Mary Magdalene. As such, it is a unique and much-needed resource for students and faculty, as well as a treasury of Goddess scholarship. [Editorial Note: Regarding the Artworks by Sudie Rakusin and Deborah Jane Milton in Appendix, only e-book and the color print book include them.

Book excerpt: Now you can get the collection of rituals and wisdom that has helped start thousands of people on a Pagan path for over thirty-five years-Magical Rites from the Crystal Well by Ed Fitch. "The Crystal Well" was a small magazine that was published at a time when little information was available on Wicca, Witchcraft, and Paganism.

The book also includes Pagan lore, such as the Rede of Chivalry, tips on forming a Pagan training group, how to tell if your pet is also your familiar, and much more. Almost every page has an elegant illustration. This book is not just filled with important ideas and rites that you can use, it's also beautiful to behold.
Book Synopsis You Can Make Your Own Rose by : Mago Books
Download or read book You Can Make Your Own Rose written by Mago Books and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description You Can Make Your Own Rose: Poems and Reflections is a bold, spiritually enriching exploration from a poet-philosopher of different forms of violence against girls and women experienced in her own life journey from a father-abused girlhood to midlife. This collection pushes the subject boundaries of poetry and engages our imaginations with unexpected shifts in thought, image and feeling. As the narrator adjusts to the difficult end of an employment relationship, there are spiritual lessons from flowers, trees, birds, turtles, and insects, keeping her on a path of self-expansion and growth. In her new beginning, the narrator is a more worldly caterpillar that has "a strut/bolder colors, bristles...[and] more trust" (from "Caterpillar"). Painful past experiences are revisited with greater self-love and understanding, the narrator referring to herself as "an Artemis," a protector and supporter of women, children and animals. With the affirmation of goddess spirituality, traditional holidays are reconfigured and earth-centered holidays celebrated in joyful circle dances. These are poems about survival, strength, and resilience which inspire us, with our faithful perennials, "to love again and again" (from "Daffodils").
Book Synopsis Christian Goddess Spirituality by : Mary Ann Beavis
Download or read book Christian Goddess Spirituality written by Mary Ann Beavis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph focuses on "Christian Goddess Spirituality" (CGS), the phenomenon of (mostly) women who combine Christianity and Goddess Spirituality, including Wicca/Witchcraft. Mary Ann Beavis’s study provides ethnographic data and analysis on the lived religious experience of CGS practitioners, drawing on interviews of over 100 women who self-identify as combining Christianity and Goddess spirituality. Although CGS also has implications for Goddess Spirituality and related traditions (e.g., Neopaganism, Wicca), here, CGS is considered primarily as a phenomenon within Christianity. However, the study also shows that the fusion of Christian and Goddess spiritualties has had an impact on non-Christian feminist spirituality, since Goddess-worshippers have often constructed Christianity as the diametrical opposite and enemy of the Goddess, to the point that some refuse to admit the possibility that CGS is a valid spiritual path, or that it is even possible. In addition, biblical, Jewish and Christian images of the divine such as Sophia, Shekhinah, the Virgin Mary, and even Mary Magdalene, have found their way into the "Pagan" Goddess pantheon. The main themes of the study include: overlaps and differences between Christian feminist theology and CGS; the routes to CGS for individual practitioners, and their beliefs, practices and experiences; proto-denominational classifications ("spiritual paths") within CGS; CGS thealogy (Christian discourse about the female divine); and the future of CGS in social scientific and ecclesiological context. Christian Goddess Spirituality will be of interest to scholars of religion, especially those with interests in women and religion, feminist spiritualities, feminist theology/thealogy, alternative spiritualities, New Religious Movements, and emergent Christianities.

Download or read book Tinta Negra written by Xanath Caraza and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tinta negra / Black Ink de Xánath Caraza, traducido por Sandra Kingery, es un poemario bilingüe donde el lirismo se combina con el comentario social. En el cuerpo corre la tinta negra, líquido vital, que deja escrito lo que la poeta observa en el mundo: fronteras que separan, muros metálicos, América la profunda con cielo abierto, yeguas que corren al amanecer, manos que trabajan. El agua del Hudson también es tinta y sangre a la vez, otra frontera, una emocional. Con intensidad lírica el lector se deja arrastrar entre canales de agua, surcos del cuerpo o ríos de tinta. Tinta negra / Black Ink by Xánath Caraza, translated by Sandra Kingery, is a bilingual book of poetry where lyricism is mixed with social commentary. A vital liquid, black ink courses through the body and is a testament of what the poet observes in the world: separating borders, metallic walls, deep America and open sky, dashing mares at dawn, hands working. The water of the Hudson is both ink and blood, another kind of border, an emotional one. Amidst intense lyricism, the reader is drawn into the water flowing through the channels, dripping down bodily indentations, or drifting down rivers of ink. "¿Qué es una frontera? Límites creados / culturas forzadas a darse la espalda." In her own "Leaves of Grass" Xánath Caraza assigns aromas to all living things. Her purposefully titleless poems in the Tinta negra / Black Ink collection, hit the target, which is our sensibility to beauty, nature reinterpreted, and emotion. These poems, translated into English by Sandra Kingery, prove to stimulate both the monolingual and the bilingual reader. I find Pablo Neruda in Caraza's poems. -Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs, Patricia Wismer Center for Gender, Justice, & Diversity En el espacio que va de la imagen natural, atravesada por el muro de acero, a la escritura cibernética, fluyen las palabras en el papel del tiempo: "tinta corre en las venas" y a la pregunta con que inicia el libro, "¿Qué es una frontera?," responde el escenario del mundo. Al intercambio cuerpo-naturaleza, poema es la solución que la escritura de Xánath Caraza, fiel a su lirismo personal, ofrece en un paisaje a Tinta negra. -Ana Franco Ortuño, poeta y editora de Periódico de Poesía Tinta negra, este hermoso poemario de Xánath Caraza, ha nacido para recordarnos que como dijera Huidobro, "quien está hecho de palabras nunca muere." En tinta, con tinta, en la tinta de Xánath la palabra se hace carne con compromiso de vida. Se convierte en 'aurea poesía', en cuerpo vivo, fraterno, solidario, santificado. Es también "corazón que gime," "caudaloso canto que traspasa la piel" en el sacramento llameante de un poemario. En Tinta negra se devela el crisol del alquimista que mezcla las palabras como "un pequeño dios" y las devuelve con diez colores nuevos, matizando este "desconocido norte," nuestro sur. -Juana Iris Goergen, DePaul University
