Download or read book Waiting for Elijah written by Safet HadžiMuhamedović and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waiting for Elijah is an intimate portrait of time-reckoning, syncretism, and proximity in one of the world’s most polarized landscapes, the Bosnian Field of Gacko. Centered on the shared harvest feast of Elijah’s Day, the once eagerly awaited pinnacle of the annual cycle, the book shows how the fractured postwar landscape beckoned the return of communal life that entails such waiting. This seemingly paradoxical situation—waiting to wait—becomes a starting point for a broader discussion on the complexity of time set between cosmology, nationalism, and embodied memories of proximity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waiting for Eli is a historical mystery surrounding the Friedman family's emigration to the United States from Germany in 1933. The layered plot weaves together events in everyday life and creates a complex tapestry that reaches into the past. Events that unfold do not make sense and come with a feeling of chilling uneasiness. The story starts as Phoebe attends the funeral of her grandfather in 2005. Directly following his passing, an antiquities dealer is murdered after handling a piece of the family's heirloom ceramics. For the next four years, Phoebe investigates the murder along with her family's connections in Europe. She traces the Friedman 'family business' across four generations, through two continents, five western European countries, and one very important World War. She learns that Friedman Freedom Fighters were embedded in several international cities during this period and traded goods for lives. Phoebe's evolution as a person and as a participant in the family business finds her confidently settled in her grandfather's house raising another generation of Friedman's as time continues to create and cycle her family's legacy.

Download or read book Waiting for Elijah written by Gari-Anne Patzwald and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The church originated in the itinerant ministry of a Civil War veteran named L. T. Nichols, whose controversial preaching led to his being shot and wounded. Originally known as the Christian Brethren, Nichols and his followers relocated from Oregon to the Midwest in 1883 and some years later embarked on an evangelistic ministry that entailed traveling up and down the Mississippi River system on a large steamboat. In 1904, the group moved to its present home of Rochester, New York, from which its missionaries traveled throughout the United States and Canada. They took the name "Megiddo" from a strategically located city in ancient Israel, which to them signified a place where soldiers of God gathered to renew their strength and courage."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Waiting for Elijah written by Kate Wild and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, in the NSW country town of Armidale, a mentally ill young man is shot dead by a police officer. Senior Constable Andrew Rich claims he ‘had no choice’ other than to shoot 24-year-old Elijah Holcombe — Elijah had run at him roaring with a knife, he tells police. Some witnesses to the shooting say otherwise, though, and this act of aggression doesn't fit with the sweet, sensitive, but troubled young man that Elijah's family and friends knew him to be. The shooting devastates Elijah's family and the police officer alike. So what happened in that Armidale laneway — and how could it have been avoided? Waiting for Elijah is the culmination of journalist Kate Wild's six-year investigation — an investigation that not only seeks to answer these questions, but also poses some vitally important ones of its own: Why is it still taboo to talk about mental illness in our society? Is it fair to expect police to be first responders in mental health crises? If the community insists this job belongs to police, how can these interactions be improved? Written with clear-eyed compassion and a compelling narrative drive, Waiting for Elijah is an account of a tragedy that didn’t have to happen. It is also an intense, forensic deconstruction of the extended legal proceedings that followed, and a heartbreaking portrait of a family’s grief.

Book excerpt: Set in Westport and New York City, the novel opens at a major medical center, where psychologist and twice-monthly newspaper columnist Dinah Rosenberg Galligan -- mother of Elijah, a 5-year-old coma victim -- meets a ghost with a surprising connection to her troubled past. The spirit who calls himself Seth Lucien proves a very seductive fellow indeed. Claiming to know what lies in store for Dinah and her family, Seth promises he can make everything turn out all right. Otherwise, Elijah is destined to live out the rest of his life as a "stone child" -- trapped in a vegetative state that, with the help of modern technology, could go on for years. Estranged from her parents, unable to communicate with her husband or two older children, Dinah seizes on this opportunity to snatch her boy back from a cruel and pointless future. And so an unearthly bargain is struck -- one that brings Dinah back to a place she has long avoided, nearly destroys her marriage, yet ultimately leaves her where she needs to be.

Book Synopsis The Bible, the Talmud, and the New Testament by : Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik
Download or read book The Bible, the Talmud, and the New Testament written by Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Slutzk, Russia, in 1805, Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik is a largely forgotten member of the prestigious Soloveitchik rabbinic dynasty. Before Hayyim Soloveitchik developed the standard Brisker method of Talmudic study, or Joseph Dov Soloveitchik helped to found American Modern Orthodox Judaism, Elijah Soloveitchik wrote Qol Qore, a rabbinic commentary on the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. Qol Qore drew on classic rabbinic literature, and particularly on the works of Moses Maimonides, to argue for the compatibility of Christianity with Judaism. To this day, it remains the only rabbinic work to embrace the compatability of Orthodox Judaism and the Christian Bible. In The Bible, the Talmud, and the New Testament, Shaul Magid presents the first-ever English translation of Qol Qore. In his contextualizing introduction, Magid explains that Qol Qore offers a window onto the turbulent historical context of nineteenth-century European Jewry. With violent anti-Semitic activity on the rise in Europe, Elijah Soloveitchik was unique in believing that the roots of anti-Semitism were theological, based on a misunderstanding of the New Testament by both Jews and Christians. His hope was that the Qol Qore, written in Hebrew and translated into French, German, and Polish, would reach Jewish and Christian audiences alike, urging each to consider the validity of the other's religious principles. In an era characterized by fractious debates between Jewish communities, Elijah Soloveitchik represents a voice that called for radical unity amongst Jews and Christians alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonah and Rebecca have fallen on hard times and as Passover approaches, they cannot afford any of the things they need to celebrate the festival. “God will come to our aid,” Jonah insists, even on Seder night as the house is dark and his table empty. When a magician knocks on their door asking to join their Seder, they are unable to oblige, but the stranger is undeterred. “I have brought the Seder with me” he claims, snapping his fingers to produce two lit candlesticks. At the magician’s command, the house is transformed, and the table is laid with everything Rebecca and Jonah could need for a perfect Seder and a fabulous Passover feast. But is this all a magician’s illusion or could it be the heavenly intervention by the prophet Elijah? The Magician’s Visit has been adapted from a classic folktale by I. L. Peretz – one of the greatest Yiddish writers of all time. Written by acclaimed children’s author Barbara Diamond Goldin and with beautiful new illustrations by award-winning illustrator Eva Sánchez Gómez, this is a spellbinding retelling of a much-loved tale.

Everett and Courtney Carroll have fared better than most through the past seven years of the Great Tribulation, but the eve of Armageddon refuses to let them live out the last hours of this present age without conflict, trouble, and persistent peril. The Bible has prophesied of the Seven Vials of God's Wrath, the final judgments which will utterly destroy what's left of a decimated planet. These calamities will bring a plague of festering boils upon the followers of the Antichrist, rivers and seas will turn to blood, and a global earthquake will raze the cities of the earth to the ground. All of this in the midst of the war to end all wars. Everett and Courtney must leave their sanctuary of relative safety, but there is nowhere left to turn. And getting anywhere in these last days means traversing wastelands patrolled by Global Republic drones or crossing hostile deserts infested by the violent jihadi armies of Caliph Marwan Bakr. It won't be the first time they've been trapped between a rock and a hard place, but it might be the last! Don't miss the final chapter of this End-Times sensation which chronicles the lives of those who must endure the Great Tribulation and the unabated wrath of God!
