Download or read book The Readies written by Bob Brown and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1930, Bob Brown predicted that the printed book was bound for obsolescence. The time has come, he insisted, to rid the reader of the cumbersome book. He invented a machine that would allow one to read books and any text extremely fast and in a hyper abbreviated form. He called these abbreviated texts, with em dashes replacing words: readies. He envisioned sending the condensed texts through wireless networks. The Readies, describes these eponymously named abbreviated texts and his plans for a reading machine, but since he printed only 150 copies, the volume is practically unknown outside of a small circle of scholars. With this new edition, Craig Saper hopes to introduce Bob Brown's Roving Eye Press books to a new generation of readers.

Book excerpt: Take a journey with the artist and writer Petar Meseldzija, who tells how he was allowed unparalleled access through the Invisible Curtain and into the land of giants. A year in the making, this book's sixteen paintings and nearly ninety drawings bring to life Petar's experiences on this journey and secrets uncovered, going back to ancient times. He shares stories of new discoveries that free giants from the murky abyss of myth and a forgotten past. Told in three stages, The Book of Giants includes the illustrated stories The Giants Are Coming, recounting a dynamic clash that lasted one hundred years; The Little Kingdom, where a giant befriends a nation of humans and becomes their adamant protector against ferocious invaders; The Northern Giants, who embrace the warrior spirit through countless battles; Giant Velles, the story of ignorance and how the strength of goodness perseveres; and The Great Forest, wherein the author discovers little creatures called the keppetz and relates his experiences spent with ogres while on his quest to meet the Golden One and to determine the purpose of his journey. Through the strength of his own power, he discovers his blessings, his limitations and finally his personal myth. Furthermore, you will discover why giants made a push into the underground, followed by their exodus and deliverance to a new land. You'll also learn why the myth of giants is still alive, why their time spent with humans remains elusive and why giants prefer to remain hidden in their world. Join Petar Meseldzija on his journey of discovery.

Book Synopsis Reading and Writing in the Time of Jesus by : Allan Millard
Download or read book Reading and Writing in the Time of Jesus written by Allan Millard and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus never wrote a book. Most scholars assume that information about Jesus was preserved only orally up until the writing of the Gospels, allowing ample time for the stories of Jesus to grow and diversify. Alan Millard here argues that written reports about Jesus could have been made during his lifetime and that some among his audiences and followers may very well have kept notes, first-hand documents that the Evangelists could weave into their narratives.
Download or read book The Agglomerate written by Bob Avis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four months after the sudden death of his wife Karen, Rick Hunter still harbors resentment toward God in particular and Christianity in general. All the questions that bothered him about the life of Christ and how the Christian churches accumulated, selected, and dispersed that information resurfaced. He has always felt that the church forced their version on the people, but Karen’s faith and his love for her suppressed those thoughts. He leaves his successful family-owned financial business to link up with virtually unknown archeologists Ron Conner and LB, seeking proof that God exists. An old British sea captain completes the core team. Ron has exceptional wealth and amazing competitors. Rick joins the team, moving to a South American dig site near the boundaries of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil, where they discover two important artifacts. Then Ron obtains an ancient scroll from Magdala, Israel, that leads them to a dangerous underwater excavation off Santorini Island, Greece. The artifact found off Santorini splits the team. LB and Rick are sent to Ephesus, Turkey, while Ron and the captain travel to Liangzhu, China. LB and Rick find the Ephesus Stone and encounter a most unusual girl in the House of the Virgin Mary. The girl directs them to Abydos, Egypt, where she disappears, and then the Ephesus Stone is stolen. Four people are murdered as they pursue the stone in Cairo, Luxor, and Saqqâra. Next, they have to run for their lives through the streets of Cairo before recovering the stone and rejoining the rest of the team in China, where a meeting of competitors and other interested people gather to view the artifacts and their undecipherable writings. Subsequently, the artifacts are transformed into The Agglomerate with a clear message to all. Universal demand to scrutinize The Agglomerate is immense. Rick’s only trip accompanying the icon is to Erio, the most feared planet in this part of the Milky Way galaxy. This is done at the personal request of Lanth, who is the only known person from Erio. An attempt to detain LB, Rick, and The Agglomerate is averted at the last second. However, unintentionally they leave the impression that Rick must have a very special relationship with God. As The Agglomerate makes its way through the galaxy to various civilizations that are pondering the question of God’s existence, it’s apparent that some things may never change. Many are convinced The Agglomerate proves God’s presence while others believe it is a fraud. Other books by the author are the following: The Coalition, Gone, and Stringer 969.

Download or read book Buried Ideas written by Sarah Allan and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of previously unknown philosophical texts from the Axial Age is revolutionizing our understanding of Chinese intellectual history. Buried Ideas presents and discusses four texts found on brush-written slips of bamboo and their seemingly unprecedented political philosophy. Written in the regional script of Chu during the Warring States period (475–221 BCE), all of the works discuss Yao's abdication to Shun and are related to but differ significantly from the core texts of the classical period, such as the Mencius and Zhuangzi. Notably, these works evince an unusually meritocratic stance, and two even advocate abdication over hereditary succession as a political ideal. Sarah Allan includes full English translations and her own modern-character editions of the four works examined: Tang Yú zhi dao, Zigao, Rongchengshi, and Bao xun. In addition, she provides an introduction to Chu-script bamboo-slip manuscripts and the complex issues inherent in deciphering them.
Book Synopsis Understanding the Pentateuch as a Scripture by : James W. Watts
Download or read book Understanding the Pentateuch as a Scripture written by James W. Watts and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cutting-edge scholarly review of how the Pentateuch functions as a scripture, and how it came to be ritualized in this way. Understanding the Pentateuch as a Scripture is a unique account of the first five books of the Bible, describing how Jews and Christians ritualize the Pentateuch as a scripture by interpreting it, by performing its text and contents, and by venerating the physical scroll and book. Pentateuchal studies are known for intense focus on questions of how and when the first five books of the Bible were composed, edited, and canonized as scripture. Rather than such purely historical, literary, or theological approaches, Hebrew Bible scholar James W. Watts organizes this description of the Pentateuch from the perspectives of comparative scriptures and religious studies. He describes how the Pentateuch has been used in the centuries since it began to function as a scripture in the time of Ezra, and the origins of its ritualization before that time. The book: Analyzes the semantic contents of the Pentateuch as oral rhetoric that takes the form of stories followed by lists of laws and sanctions Gives equal space to its ritualization in the iconic and performative dimensions as to its semantic interpretation Fully integrates the cultural history of the Pentateuch and Bible with its influence on Jewish and Christian ritual, and in art, music, theatre, and film Understanding the Pentateuch as a Scripture is a groundbreaking work that highlights new research data and organizes the material to focus attention on the Pentateuch’s—and Bible’s— function as a scripture.
