Download or read book The Face of the Waters written by Robert Silverberg and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the year 2450. Humanity is scattered among the stars, which teem with intelligent life, while the home world has been destroyed by an inadvertent catastrophe two hundred years before. Thus all Earthmen are exiles, and Earth itself is only a memory. Hydros is a world of great complexity. It has almost no landmass, only a great globe-encompassing ocean with occasional tiny islands. Its seas swarm with apparently intelligent life-forms of a hundred kinds, and one - a bipedal humanoid form - has created a kind of land for itself: floating islands, woven from sea-borne materials, buffered by elaborate barricades against the ceaseless tidal surges that circle the planet. To Hydros have come an assortment of Earthmen. For them it's a world of no return: having no form of outbound space transportation. This brilliantly inventive novel tells their story, as they travel across the planet's endless ocean in search of the mysterious area from which no human has ever returned - the Face of the Waters. (First published 1991)

Book Synopsis Timeless Awakening by : Robert Twigg

Book excerpt: Stanley Marshal is retiring from his position as a history professor at the University of Washington. The highlight of his retirement is a field expedition to Saqqara, Egypt, where he will manage the excavation of a mastaba, a burial mound that was recently discovered. The trip is planned for September-but, two weeks before Stanley and his assistant, Carlson Kramer, are scheduled to leave for Egypt, the professor receives an early morning call from a representative of the American Research Center in Egypt... ...an organization that has supported Stanley's work over the years. The ARCE representative informs Stanley that he must leave for Egypt immediately and travel to Giza because of an event that has taken place there in the last few days. Although Stanley protests the abrupt change in his plans, he agrees to make the flight the organization has booked for him and his assistant with the condition that travel arrangements are also made for a former student, Janice Totten... ...to whom the professor has become very close. The trip to Giza turns out to be a gathering of the world's best scientists and historians. Under the leadership of Alam Al-Moshara, an important ARCE representative, the scholars are confined to a local hotel for the purpose of working together to uncover the cause of several electromagnetic disturbances that have occurred just days before the group's arrival. Professor Stanley's knowledge of Egyptian history and the pyramids becomes significant to the Egyptian government and the global community as they discover the source of the devastating disturbance that makes itself visible over the great pyramids, and then expands across the earth. ...What they find may be the end, or is it a Timeless Awakening? Timeless Awakening takes us on an imaginary, technological journey to look at a civilization that has survived for over a million years, and has developed the means to control and manipulate the most fundamental physical laws of our universe, space, time, and gravity.

Book Synopsis Mysteries of Genesis by : Charles Fillmore
Download or read book Mysteries of Genesis written by Charles Fillmore and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BOOK OF GENESIS is the key to the Bible. In the New Testament it is quoted twenty-seven times literally and thirty-eight times substantially. It tells in a very few words how God first imaged man and the universe and then turned the development over to Jehovah, who has been in a process of manifestation for ages and aeons. The "Five Books of Moses," of which Genesis is the first, have always been credited to Moses, but that he was the author seems doubtful in the face of the many stories of creation found in the legends and hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt, Chaldea, and other nations that are almost identical with those of Genesis. It would thus seem that Moses edited the legends of the ages and compiled them into an allegorical history of creation. The truths in this book will be revealed to the reader through his own spiritual unfoldment. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. The spiritual revelations that you seem to get from books and teachers already existed as submerged experiences in your own soul. The essential truths have been worked out in this or previous incarnations, and when you were reminded of the buried idea it blazed forth as a light from without. So all that you are or ever will be must come from your own spiritual achievements.

Book Synopsis Genesis: Translation and Commentary by : Robert Alter
Download or read book Genesis: Translation and Commentary written by Robert Alter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1997-09-17 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Here is] the Genesis for our generation and beyond."—Robert Fagles Genesis begins with the making of heaven and earth and all life, and ends with the image of a mummy—Joseph's—in a coffin. In between come many of the primal stories in Western culture: Adam and Eve's expulsion from the garden of Eden, Cain's murder of Abel, Noah and the Flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham's binding of Isaac, the covenant of God and Abraham, Isaac's blessing of Jacob in place of Esau, the saga of Joseph and his brothers. In Robert Alter's brilliant translation, these stories cohere in a powerful narrative of the tortuous relations between fathers and sons, husbands and wives, eldest and younger brothers, God and his chosen people, the people of Israel and their neighbors. Alter's translation honors the meanings and literary strategies of the ancient Hebrew and conveys them in fluent English prose. It recovers a Genesis with the continuity of theme and motif of a wholly conceived and fully realized book. His insightful, fully informed commentary illuminates the book in all its dimensions.

Book Synopsis The Beginning of Wisdom by : Leon Kass
Download or read book The Beginning of Wisdom written by Leon Kass and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-05-20 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine that you could really understand the Bible...that you could read, analyze, and discuss the book of Genesis not as a compositional mystery, a cultural relic, or a linguistic puzzle palace, or even as religious doctrine, but as a philosophical classic, precisely in the same way that a truth-seeking reader would study Plato or Nietzsche. Imagine that you could be led in your study by one of America's preeminent intellectuals and that he would help you to an understanding of the book that is deeper than you'd ever dreamed possible, that he would reveal line by line, verse by verse the incredible riches of this illuminating text -- one of the very few that actually deserve to be called seminal. Imagine that you could get, from Genesis, the beginning of wisdom. The Beginning of Wisdom is a hugely learned book that, like Genesis itself, falls naturally into two sections. The first shows how the universal history described in the first eleven chapters of Genesis, from creation to the tower of Babel, conveys, in the words of Leon Kass, "a coherent anthropology" -- a general teaching about human nature -- that "rivals anything produced by the great philosophers." Serving also as a mirror for the reader's self-discovery, these stories offer profound insights into the problematic character of human reason, speech, freedom, sexual desire, the love of the beautiful, pride, shame, anger, guilt, and death. Something as seemingly innocuous as the monotonous recounting of the ten generations from Adam to Noah yields a powerful lesson in the way in which humanity encounters its own mortality. In the story of the tower of Babel are deep understandings of the ambiguous power of speech, reason, and the arts; the hazards of unity and aloneness; the meaning of the city and its quest for self-sufficiency; and man's desire for fame, immortality, and apotheosis -- and the disasters these necessarily cause. Against this background of human failure, Part Two of The Beginning of Wisdom explores the struggles to launch a new human way, informed by the special Abrahamic covenant with the divine, that might address the problems and avoid the disasters of humankind's natural propensities. Close, eloquent, and brilliant readings of the lives and educations of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob's sons reveal eternal wisdom about marriage, parenting, brotherhood, education, justice, political and moral leadership, and of course the ultimate question: How to live a good life? Connecting the two "parts" is the book's overarching philosophical and pedagogical structure: how understanding the dangers and accepting the limits of human powers can open the door to a superior way of life, not only for a solitary man of virtue but for an entire community -- a life devoted to righteousness and holiness. This extraordinary book finally shows Genesis as a coherent whole, beginning with the creation of the natural world and ending with the creation of a nation that hearkens to the awe-inspiring summons to godliness. A unique and ambitious commentary, a remarkably readable literary exegesis and philosophical companion, The Beginning of Wisdom is one of the most important books in decades on perhaps the most important -- and surely the most frequently read -- book of all time.
Book Synopsis The Mystery of The Waters by : Bunmi Anike Binitie
Download or read book The Mystery of The Waters written by Bunmi Anike Binitie and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to teach the Believer, especially Missionaries, the practicalities of what to do when faced with the troubled waters of life. We need to immediately discern between the waters of training from the Lord and satanic floods of affliction; because the next steps we would need to take do differ in either situation. There are copious prayers strewn all over the book to train us how to pray to God as we seek His help to see us through each episode so that the waters would take us up and closer to Him in our walk with Him rather than give us a Kadesh Barnea experience of going back to square one and round and round the same mountain, never moving forward in our Christian race and expiring before we reach our Promised Land... heaven forbid!
Book Synopsis The Face of the Deep by : Catherine Keller
Download or read book The Face of the Deep written by Catherine Keller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a groundbreaking, highly original work of postmodern feminist theology from one of the most important authors in the field. The Face of the Deep deconstructs the Christian doctrine of creation which claims that a transcendent Lord unilaterally created the universe out of nothing. Catherine Keller's impassioned, graceful meditation develops an alternative representation of the cosmic creative process, drawing upon Hebrew myths of creation, from chaos, and engaging with the political and the mystical, the literary and the scientific, the sexual and the racial. As a landmark work of immense significance for Jewish and Christian theology, gender studies, literature, philosophy and ecology, The Face of the Deep takes our originary story to a new horizon, rewriting the starting point for Western spiritual discourse.
Book Synopsis From Chaos to Cosmos by : Sidney Greidanus
Download or read book From Chaos to Cosmos written by Sidney Greidanus and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the LORD, who does all these things." Isaiah 45:7 When God created the world, he brought perfect order out of what was "without form and void." But with human rebellion against God leading to God's curse, disorder was introduced into creation—disorder that we still see all around us today. Tracing the chaos to cosmos theme from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22, pastor-scholar Sidney Greidanus reveals how God is restoring his creation through Jesus Christ, who has already begun to shine light into the darkness and will one day return to bring peace, order, and restoration once and for all. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter and a fourteen-session reading plan, this book is ideal for small groups as well as individual study.
Book Synopsis Without Form and Void by : Arthur C Custance
Download or read book Without Form and Void written by Arthur C Custance and published by Classic Reprint Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered a classic in Christian apologetics, this scholarly analysis of the Biblical phrase "without form and void," from the opening chapter of Genesis, observes the rules of linguistics, of grammar and syntax, and also examines how words are used in the rest of Scripture. This book has been described as the best argument that has ever been written for the Gap Theory. A well respected Canadian scientist himself, and listed in the 1971 American Men in Science, Dr. Custance contends that we should not allow science to determine what Scripture says. Neither should we allow Scripture to determine what the scientist observes in the laboratory. Yet observed fact in the one cannot, ultimately, conflict with revealed fact in the other. Any conflict, then, is in the interpretation of the facts - not in the facts themselves.
