Book Synopsis The Garden of Eden Myth by : Walter Mattfeld
Download or read book The Garden of Eden Myth written by Walter Mattfeld and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly proposals are presented for the pre-biblical origin in Mesopotamian myths of the Garden of Eden story. Some Liberal PhD scholars (1854-2010) embracing an Anthropological viewpoint have proposed that the Hebrews have recast earlier motifs appearing in Mesopotamian myths. Eden's garden is understood to be a recast of the gods' city-gardens in the Sumerian Edin, the floodplain of Lower Mesopotamia. It is understood that the Hebrews in the book of Genesis are refuting the Mesopotamian account of why Man was created and his relationship with his Creators (the gods and goddesses). They deny that Man is a sinner and rebel because he was made in the image of gods and goddesses who were themselves sinners and rebels, who made man to be their agricultural slave to grow and harvest their food and feed it to them in temple sacrifices thereby ending the need of the gods to toil for their food in the city-gardens of Edin in ancient Sumer.

Book Synopsis Dreaming of Eden by : S. Thistlethwaite
Download or read book Dreaming of Eden written by S. Thistlethwaite and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-11-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were tempted to take a bite out of an apple that promised them the "knowledge of good and evil." Today, a shiny apple with a bite out of it is the symbol of Apple Computers. The age of the Internet has speeded up human knowledge, and it also provides even more temptation to know more than may be good for us. Americans have been right at the forefront of the digital revolution, and we have felt its unsettling effects in both our religions and our politics. Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite argues that we long to return to the innocence of the Garden of Eden and not be faced with countless digital choices. But returning to the innocence of Eden is dangerous in this modern age and, instead, we can become wiser about the wired world.

But everything changes when he discovers that he is an ancient American Indian Trickster god who has forgotten his mythical origins.

Its main ingredient: the Water of Life. The gods are never happy when people start attaining Eternal Life like it's nobody's business. And if the Wheel of Birth and Death grows too heavy and is jolted from its axis, Shiva will manifest in the sky as the Cosmic Dancer and two-step existence right out of existence.But the residents of Eden—which include patchrobed Zen monks, fire-bringing fire marshals, and a slew of Tricksters—aren't going down without a brawl. And Jack Whiskey must follow Farmer John to the ancient Greek Underworld—and a confrontation with Hades, King of the Dead—to prevent the stomping out of the universe.
Download or read book Gods of Eden written by Andrew Collins and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-04-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking historical documentation of the secret history of pre-Pharonic Egypt and the race of angels that built it. •By the author of From the Ashes of Angels and Gateway to Atlantis (more than 30,000 copies sold in the United Kingdom). •Unlocks the secrets of how the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx were built. •Explains the traces left by the race of Elder gods that founded ancient Egypt through ancient texts of the Hall of Records. •Proves the foundations of ancient astronomy 10,000 years ago. Hidden deep below Egypt's Giza plateau is perhaps the key to unlocking the mysteries of the Great Pyramid, one of the seven wonders of the world. Built using a technology unequaled even today, the ancient Egyptians claimed they inherited their advanced culture from a race of Elder gods who lived during a previous age known as Zep Tepi, the First Time. In his earlier companion book From the Ashes of Angels, renowned historical writer Andrew Collins provided historical and scientific evidence showing how these Elder gods, who were the flesh and blood members of a race of fallen angels, founded ancient Egypt. Now, in Gods of Eden, he describes the remarkable achievements of their culture. Assembling clues from archaeology, mythology, and religion, Collins shows us how this great society mastered acoustic technology and employed the use of sound to raise heavy objects into the air and pierce holes through solid rock. It was with this technology that they were able to construct gigantic structures that have marveled adventurers and archaeologists worldwide. With findings based on more than 20 years of research and scholarship, Collins reveals the fascinating historical destiny of this culture of fallen angels and the imprints and legacies they left behind at the genesis of civilization.
Download or read book Echoes of Eden written by Jerram Barrs and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From comic books to summer blockbusters, all people enjoy art in some form or another. However, few of us can effectively explain why certain books, movies, and songs resonate so profoundly within us. In Echoes of Eden, Jerram Barrs helps us identify the significance of artistic expression as it reflects the extraordinary creativity and unmatched beauty of the Creator God. Additionally, Barrs provides the key elements for evaluating and defining great art: (1) The glory of the original creation; (2) The tragedy of the curse of sin; (3) The hope of final redemption and renewal. These three qualifiers are then put to the test as Barrs investigates five of the world's most influential authors who serve as ideal case studies in the exploration of the foundations and significance of great art.

Book Synopsis The Mythology of America's Seasonal Holidays by : Arthur George
Download or read book The Mythology of America's Seasonal Holidays written by Arthur George and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year we celebrate a cycle of seasonal holidays. The ancient Greeks called this cycle “The Dance of the Horae,” after the mythical divinities who represented the seasons. What myths sit at the foundation of our own holiday celebrations? This interdisciplinary book explores the myths and symbols that underlie our major seasonal holidays and give them their meaning. Arthur George also shows how America’s own mythmaking has shaped some holidays. This mythological approach reveals how and why holidays arose in the first place, how and why they have changed over the centuries, why they have remained important, and finally how we can celebrate them today in a more meaningful manner that can enrich our lives and better our society. George devotes particular attention to the depth psychological aspects of holidays and their corresponding myths, as well as to the insights of modern biblical scholarship for key holidays such as Easter and Christmas.
