Book Synopsis Trisagion of Death by : Mireya Robles
Download or read book Trisagion of Death written by Mireya Robles and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solitude, alienation, rejection, separation, such are some of the words that come to mind upon reading Trisagion of Death, an anthology of stories by Mireya Robles. The author delves into the hearts of one anti-hero after another, of beings who keenly feel the absurdity of life and whose existence is poisoned by their isolation from others. Whether their exclusion is caused by exile, by their nonconformity to social standards or by the loss of love, they are strangers in a strange land, a land peopled by phantasmagoric figures whose grotesque gestures they do not comprehend. The settings of these stories are oneiric and they show desolate landscapes of ice or stone, dilapidated houses or sad cafés which intensify the feeling of loss and alienation. Generally, the heroes seem resigned to their fate. Yet, occasionally, appears a will to resist or to overcome the tedium: one of the heroes discovers a "herculean strength" in himself, another cynically protests against the routine imposed upon him and in one of the stories a child discovers the magic of life. With her terse style and striking images, Mireya Robles expresses all the complexity and the painfulness of the human condition. Anna Diegel Translator and Literary Critic
Book Synopsis Death Liturgy and Ritual by : Paul P.J. Sheppy
Download or read book Death Liturgy and Ritual written by Paul P.J. Sheppy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death Liturgy and Ritual is a two-volume study of Christian funerary theology and practice, presenting an invaluable account of funeral rites and the central issues involved for compilers and users. Paul Sheppy writes from direct experience of conducting funerals and of drafting liturgical resources for others. In Volume II: A Commentary on Liturgical Texts, reviews a wide range of current Christian funeral rites and examines how they reflect both the Church's concern for the death and resurrection of Christ and the contemporary secular demand for funerals which celebrate the life of the deceased. The companion volume, Volume I: A Pastoral and Liturgical Theology, proposes that the Church ought to construct its theological agenda in dialogue with other fields of study. Sheppy argues for a Christian statement about death that finds its basis in the Paschal Mystery, since human death must be explained by reference to Jesus' death, descent to the dead, and resurrection. Using the three phases of van Gennep's theory of rites of passage, the author shows how the Easter triduum may be seen as normative for Christian liturgies of death.
Book Synopsis Death and Bereavement Across Cultures by : Colin Murray Parkes
Download or read book Death and Bereavement Across Cultures written by Colin Murray Parkes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All societies have their own customs and beliefs surrounding death. In the West, traditional ways of mourning are disappearing, and although Western science has had a major impact on how people die, it has taught us little about the way to die or to grieve. Many whose work brings them into contact with the dying and the bereaved from Western and other cultures are at a loss to know how to offer appropriate and sensitive support. Death and Bereavement Across Cultures 2nd Edition is a handbook which meets the needs of doctors, nurses, social workers, hospital chaplains, counsellors and volunteers caring for patients with life-threatening illness and their families before and after bereavement. It is a practical guide explaining the religious and other differences commonly met with in multi-cultural societies when someone is dying or bereaved. In doing so readers may be surprised to find how much we can learn from other cultures about our own attitudes and assumptions about death. Written by international experts in the field the book: Describes the rituals and beliefs of major world religions; Explains their psychological and historical context; Shows how customs are changed by contact with the West; Considers the implications for the future The second edition includes new chapters that: explore how members of the health care professions perform roles formerly conducted by priests and shamans can cross the cultural gaps between different cultures and religions; consider the relevance of attitudes and assumptions about death for our understanding of religious and nationalist extremism and its consequences; discuss the Buddhist, Islamic and Christian ways of death. Death raises questions which science cannot answer. Whatever our personal beliefs we can all gain from learning how others view these ultimate problems. This book explores the richness of mourning traditions around the world with the aim of increasing the sensitivity and understanding which we all bring to the issue of death and bereavement.
Book Synopsis Prayers and Rituals at a Time of Illness and Dying by : Patricia Fosarelli
Download or read book Prayers and Rituals at a Time of Illness and Dying written by Patricia Fosarelli and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the course of caring for the ill or dying, health care professionals are sometimes the only ones available to provide spiritual comfort to their patients. In our modern pluralistic society, where patients could come from any number of religious traditions, it can often be difficult to find exactly the right words in these situations. Prayers and Rituals at a Time of Illness and Dying: The Practices of Five World Religions by experienced physician and theologian Pat Fosarelli offers clear instructions for health care professionals on how to better understand the needs of their Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Jewish patients during these difficult times. Devoting separate chapters to each tradition, Fosarelli briefly outlines the basic beliefs and then looks at the main tenets of each religion, exploring the varied approaches that they take to illness and end-of-life issues. For each tradition, she also describes practices and offers suitable prayers. Each chapter suggests modifications that may be necessary for Western hospitals, modifications for children, and specific suggestions about what not to do or say in respect to different faith traditions. This easy-to-use, pocket-sized resource will be referenced again and again by physicians, paramedics, hospital and military chaplains, pastoral counselors, hospice providers, and other medical professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Gibbon's six-volume History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-88) is among the most magnificent and ambitious narratives in European literature. Its subject is the fate of one of the world's greatest civilizations over thirteen centuries - its rulers, wars and society, and the events that led to its disastrous collapse. Here, in volumes three and four, Gibbon vividly recounts the waves of barbarian invaders under commanders such as Alaric and Attila, who overran and eventually destroyed the West. He then turns his gaze to events in the East, where even the achievements of the Byzantine emperor Justinian and the campaigns of the brilliant military leader Belisarius could not conceal the fundamental weaknesses of their empire. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Book Synopsis Word Became Flesh by : Mathews Severios
Download or read book Word Became Flesh written by Mathews Severios and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work presented by Metropolitan Mar Severios is a valuable contribution on behalf of churches adhering to miaphysite Christology in the context of ecumenical conversations between church representatives of various christological positions. "Over the course of his ten 'Discourses against Habib' Philoxenus quotes at some length Habib's arguments before countering them with his own response. ... The reader will find the arguments of both sides set out with admirable clarity and objectivity, and it is to be greatly hoped that this monograph, with its constructive approach, will contribute towards a better understanding of the two different approaches, miaphysite and dyophysite, to the mystery of the Incarnation."

Book Synopsis Testament of Abraham by : Dale C. Allison
Download or read book Testament of Abraham written by Dale C. Allison and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first verse-by-verse commentary on the Greek text of the Testament of Abraham places the work within the history of both Jewish and Christian literature. It emphasizes the literary artistry and comedic nature of the Testament, brings to the task of interpretation a mass of comparative material, and establishes that, although the Testament goes back to a Jewish tale of the first or second century CE, the Christian elements are much more extensive than has previously been realized. The commentary further highlights the dependence of the Testament upon both Greco-Roman mythology and the Jewish Bible. This should be the standard commentary for years to come.

Download or read book Kaddish written by Leon Wieseltier and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-11-18 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Jewish Book Award-winning autobiography that's "an astonishing fusion of learning and psychic intensity; its poignance and lucidity should be an authentic benefit to readers, Jewish and gentile" (The New York Times Book Review). Children have obligations to their parents: the Talmud says "one must honor him in life and one must honor him in death." Beside his father’s grave, a diligent but doubting son begins the mourner’s kaddish and realizes he needs to know more about the prayer issuing from his lips. So begins Leon Wieseltier’s National Jewish Book Award–winning autobiography, Kaddish, the spiritual journal of a man commanded by Jewish law to recite a prayer three times daily for a year and driven, by ardor of inquiry, to explore its origins. Here is one man’s urgent exploration of Jewish liturgy and law, from the 10th-century legend of a wayward ghost to the speculations of medieval scholars on the grief of God to the perplexities of a modern rabbi in the Kovno ghetto. Here too is a mourner’s unmannered response to the questions of fate, freedom, and faith stirred in death’s wake. Lyric, learned, and deeply moving, Wieseltier’s Kaddish is a narrative suffused with love: a son’s embracing the tradition bequeathed to him by his father, a scholar’s savoring they beauty he was taught to uncover, and a writer’s revealing it, proudly, unadorned, to the reader.
