Download or read book For the Love of Literature written by Christy MacKaye Barnes and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1996 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unnoticed component of the present educational, social, and even ecological crises lies in the declining value given what we correctly call the "humanities." The study of the living words of great authors--Homer, Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, the Romantic poets, the Russian novelists--no longer forms the basis of the education of the human soul. The imagination is disparaged, marginalized, politicized, and devalued. Young people are instead fed a monotonous diet of information, scientism, and technology. While these are certainly important and useful--maybe even necessary to our survival--once they become the basis for educating our children, the result is an assault on what it means to be human. Built around the work of Christy MacKaye Barnes, the themes of this collection include the training of imagination, speech, and poetry, and expanding human capacities through the study of great authors. The writers include many of the great first-generation English teachers in the Waldorf movement. Contents: Part One Christy MacKaye Barnes, nine essays, including: "Can the Imagination Be Trained?" "The Crisis of the Word Today" "Why Write?" "Schooling Capacities through the Study of Great Authors" "Backgrounds for Russian Literature" Part Two Adam Bittleston, "The Future of the English Language" L. Francis Edmunds, "Literature in the Upper School" Linda Sawers, "In the Footsteps of Dante" Isabelle Wyatt, "Chaucer and the Modern Consciousness" A. C. Harwood, "Fair Mountain and Fine City" Adam Bittleston, "Shakespeare's Troubled Kings" Ursula Grahl, "In Quest of the Holy Grail" L. Francis Edmunds, "The Trials of Parsifal" Hugh Hetherington, "Grail Mountain and Garden of Marvels" Eileen Hutchins, "Wolfram and Wagner" Adam Bittleston, "Christopher Fry and the Riddle of Evil" Susan Demanett, "Questing toward a True Understanding of Grammar" Dorit Winter, "We Love Grammar" This collection is essential for anyone interested in the Waldorf curriculum and in restoring a real study of literature for young people.

Book excerpt: A profoundly heartening view of human nature, Beyond War offers a hopeful prognosis for a future without war. Douglas P. Fry convincingly argues that our ancient ancestors were not innately warlike--and neither are we. He points out that, for perhaps ninety-nine percent of our history, for well over a million years, humans lived in nomadic hunter-and-gatherer groups, egalitarian bands where warfare was a rarity. Drawing on archaeology and fascinating recent fieldwork on hunter-gatherer bands from around the world, Fry debunks the idea that war is ancient and inevitable. For instance, among Aboriginal Australians, warfare was an extreme anomaly. Fry also points out that even today, when war seems ever present, the vast majority of us live peaceful, nonviolent lives. We are not as warlike as we think, and if we can learn from our ancestors, we may be able to move beyond war to provide real justice and security for the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “big-hearted” (The Daily Beast), “LOL-worthy” (Cosmopolitan) debut about a down-on-his-luck gay man working out how he fits into the world, making up for lost time, and opening himself up to life’s possibilities “Part of a new wave of authors releasing uplifting queer literature that casts its characters as the heroes of their lives . . . crammed with blossoming romances and glittery escapism.”—The Guardian Danny Scudd is absolutely fine. He always dreamed of escaping the small-town life of his parents’ fish-and-chip shop, moving to London, and becoming a journalist. And, after five years in the city, his career isn’t exactly awful, and his relationship with pretentious Tobbs isn’t exactly unfulfilling. Certainly his limited-edition Dolly Parton vinyls and many (maybe too many) house plants are hitting the spot. But his world is flipped upside down when a visit to the local clinic reveals that Tobbs might not have been exactly faithful. In fact, Tobbs claims they were never operating under the “heteronormative paradigm” of monogamy to begin with. Oh, and Danny’s flatmates are unceremoniously evicting him because they want to start a family. It’s all going quite well. Newly single and with nowhere to live, Danny is forced to move in with his best friend, Jacob, a flamboyant nonbinary artist whom he’s known since childhood, and their eccentric group of friends living in an East London “commune.” What follows is a colorful voyage of discovery through modern queer life, dating, work, and lots of therapy—all places Danny has always been too afraid to fully explore. Upon realizing just how little he knows about himself and his sexuality, he careens from one questionable decision (and man) to another, relying on his inscrutable new therapist and housemates to help him face the demons he’s spent his entire life trying to repress. Is he really fine, after all?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would be the title of the next chapter of your life if someone shares with you the knowledge that Jesus paid it all for you to overcome life's challenges? How about if someone told you that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf and working everything out for your good with encouraging love He has reestablished for you in the name of the sacrifice of His Son? My desire today is to challenge your thinking to come up higher and set down with Jesus a while and learn about Him. God has already prepared for your journey of transformation strategies and information from His Word to overcome everything your adversary has placed in your path. Through life highway, you may not believe this but He believes in you and Christ has qualified you for the victory in Him. When God looks at you, He sees you as a son and a daughter clothed in favor, blessings, and a successful leader of the faith. Take hold of Him today and to those who knew your story and might not believe this, you can look at you now and see what the Lord has done and its marvelous in His sight. About the Author An ordained minister of the Gospel since 2015, Chris has a passion for seeing a transformation over those who have never intimately met the true and faithful eternal author of the Word, King Jesus. Also! See believers who have met Him to rise and operate in their full potential and authority in Christ and as He transforms them with their new identity in Christ by the renewing of their mind, become garden dwellers and rainmakers of the reigning King Jesus.

Download or read book This is Your Life? written by Christopher Fry and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Is Your Life is about the journey to the center of your mind (Twilight Zone music in the background). Well maybe not quite the center, but it challenges the premise that we are mechanical beings living in a mechanical world. Contrary to the popular cultural voice that says, "Resistance is futile, assimilated you will be . . ." (Yoda), people are tired, broken, and poor from living in this Marxist socialist paradise. If we can reclaim a true definition of liberty, perhaps we can achieve a Modern Reformation. The human experience we call life is mind, body, and spirit. If any one of these is missing, we die. Our culture has been trying to convince us for decades that we are mind and body, but without any spirit. People have been treated as if they were automobiles to be driven, manipulated, and finally discarded when their benefits run out. The results of this philosophy have been disastrous. The fruits of Marxist philosophy today are the same as they have been throughout history: to lie, steal, kill, and destroy, leaves death in its wake and itself ultimately self-destructs in a suicidal fit of rage. A Christian philosophy will emerge out of the ash heap, hopefully sooner rather than later. We must recognize that every human being is different than every other person who has ever been. We are like a microcosm, an entire universe contained in this human body. The spiritual realm is more real than the physical realm and twice as dangerous. Unless we wish to continue living like a zombie (in mind and body denying the spirit), we must understand the spiritual aspect in order to experience true life. This Is Your life recognizes the fact that we all have an appointment with Revelation 20:12, "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And they were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done." The books are our life stories. We are all writing a book, and each day is another page in our book. The good, the bad and the ugly, it's all there. The book of life is also there. There was a show from the 1960s and '70s called This Is Your Life. The host Ralph Edwards always had a book in his hand. He would walk up to the person being highlighted and say, "So and so, this is your life." They would have events and people from their past and things on their life journey that helped make them who they were. This is how one might imagine it could be when we stand before the Lord.

Download or read book Raid on the Articulate written by John Dominic Crossan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Dominic Crossan's In Parables demonstrated how Jesus's parables demolished an idolatry of time. In this book, he shows how the parables likewise preclude an idolatry of language. In a new, creative synthesis, Raid on the Articulate juxtaposes the sayings and parables of Jesus with the works of modern Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges to reveal fresh interpretations. Crossan locates both men as literary iconoclasts, parablers who can evoke for us the other side of silence. The gift they bring is "cosmic eschatology," the ability to "stand on the brink of nonsense and absurdity and not be dizzy." The discussion begins with Comedy and Transcendence, "a comedy too deep for laughter." Language is seen most openly and acknowledged most freely as structured play, opening the narrow gate to transcendence. This precludes language being mistaken for the gate itself. This in turn raises the question of Form and Parody. As Crossan writes, "Why mock the craftsman skilled in silver and gold and not mock the artisan skilled in form and genre? What if the aniconic God became trapped in icons made of language?" In Jesus we find the most magisterial warning against graven words and encapsulation of God in case law, proverb, or beatitude. When Jesus says, "Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it" he presents a paradox insoluble by faith in language. Borges performs a similar function in literature when he inserts footnotes referring to nonexistent books. Both are arguing against the idolatry of imprisoning reality in the words that point to it. Parable and Paradox makes the case for parable as paradox formed into story. It is in this context that Jesus and Borges must be understood. Analyzing many of Jesus's parables, especially "The Good Samaritan," and comparing them structurally to Borges's work, Crossan sees them as single or double reversals of their audiences" most profound expectations. It is these that lend them both their power and their paradox. Raid on the Articulate concludes with considerations of the plasticity of time in Jesus and Borges and what, finally, we can say about them as men from their "fragile and aphoristic art." Emphasizing both biblical and literary materials, John Dominic Crossan achieves a deepened understanding of New Testament texts and forms, an understanding possible only when the unique literary aspect of Jesus's sayings is acknowledged.

Download or read book Hollywood and After written by Jerzy Toeplitz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in English in 1974, Hollywood and After presents contemporary cinema in all its complexity, describing and analyzing the various factors which, in the sixties and seventies, brought so many changes both inside Hollywood and throughout the film industry of the USA. The film industry has been restructured. No longer independent, it now forms only a part, sometimes only a small and secondary part, of large diversified corporations. Formerly rivals, today cinema and television not only coexist, but are forced to cooperate closely in a world of technical developments such as videocassettes, cable TV, and satellite transmissions. The main part of this book is dedicated to artistic and creative questions. A new generation of film makers is making films for a new generation of film goers who are looking for fresh values on the screen. More and more the cinema mirrors the reality of American life: complicated, uneasy, shaken by violent outbursts, charged with a multitude of controversies and conflicts. The rose-tinted American dream, which Hollywood peddled, is a thing of the past. Today the US cinema offers a variety of artistic, political, and social approaches and a wide range of highly individual styles. In the world of social media, OTT platforms, and AI, this book is an important historical reference for scholars and researchers of film studies, film history, and media studies.
