Book excerpt: Camp New Beginnings isn’t the safe place Matt Voorhees thought it was. An intense flood stole the life of one of the nine survivors. And now all that remain from their cryocolumn are eight seventeen-year-olds and a troubled man named Darin, who Matt doesn’t trust. They still don’t know where the cryovault is and are no closer to finding it, due to a monstrous snowstorm forcing them to stay put. But they know they’re running out of time. Dr. Westbrook is dead, and there is no one tending to the over five thousand pods of cryogenically frozen people—the last of the human race. Continued erratic weather halts them at every turn, and the body count is adding up. In their race to find their families and save the population, they uncover more things that are out of place, and the mystery deepens. Matt begins to question if he can even save himself—let alone the rest of the world. Welcome to Camp New Beginnings—where the weather is just as dysfunctional as its residents.

Book Synopsis When the English Fall by : David Williams
Download or read book When the English Fall written by David Williams and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting and unexpected novel that questions whether a peaceful and non- violent community can survive when civilization falls apart. Again, all are asleep, but I am not. I need sleep, but though I read and I pray, I feel too awake. My mind paces the floor. There are shots now and again, bursts here and there, far away, and I cannot sleep. I think of this man in his hunger, shot like a rabbit raiding a garden. For what, Lord? For stealing corn intended for pigs and cattle, like the hungry prodigal helpless in a strange land. I can hear his voice. When a catastrophic solar storm brings about the collapse of modern civilization, an Amish community is caught up in the devastating aftermath. With their stocked larders and stores of supplies, the Amish are unaffected at first. But as the English (the Amish name for all non-Amish people) in the cities become increasingly desperate, they begin to invade nearby farms, taking whatever they want and unleashing unthinkable violence on the gentle communities. Written as the diary of an Amish farmer named Jacob who tries to protect his family and his way of life, When the English Fall examines the idea of peace in the face of deadly chaos. Should members of a nonviolent society defy their beliefs and take up arms to defend themselves? And if they do, can they survive? David Williams’s debut novel is a thoroughly engrossing look into the closed world of the Amish, as well as a thought-provoking examination of how we live today and what remains if the center cannot hold.

Book Synopsis The Reality of Apocalypse by : David L. Barr
Download or read book The Reality of Apocalypse written by David L. Barr and published by Society of Biblical Lit. This book was released on 2006 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far from spinning a fantasy of what will never be, the book of Revelation depicts an alternate social world in order to shape the community and individual identity of an audience living under imperial rule. To highlight the Apocalypse’s meaning for its original audience, this volume focuses on two interrelated themes pulsing throughout Revelation: rhetoric and politics. It considers rhetorical strategies and tactics in Revelation and demonstrates how its rhetoric fits the situation in Roman Asia Minor and the struggle within the Apocalypse community. It also examines community and cultural conflicts, showing how myth, symbol, and liturgy function as means of resistance in an imperial setting. By offering a fresh window on the lively interplay between imagination and history, between words and worlds, this volume will be indispensable for anyone seeking to understand current scholarly analysis of the book of Revelation.

Book Synopsis The Call to Radical Theology by : Thomas J. J. Altizer
Download or read book The Call to Radical Theology written by Thomas J. J. Altizer and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Call to Radical Theology, Thomas J. J. Altizer meditates on the nature of radical theology and calls readers to undertake the vocation of radical theology as a way of living a fully examined life. In fourteen essays, he explores how the death of God in modernity and the dissolution of divine authority have freed theology to become a mode of ultimate reflection and creative inquiry no longer bound by church sanction or doctrinal strictures. Revealing a wealth of vital models for doing radical theological thinking, Altizer discusses the work of philosophers such as Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Marion, Derrida, and Levinas, among others. Resources are also found in the work of imaginative writers, especially Milton, Blake, and Joyce. In the spirit of Joyces Here Comes Everybody, Altizer is convinced that theology is for everyone and that everyone has the authority to do theology authentically. An introduction by Lissa McCullough and foreword by David E. Klemm help orient the reader to Altizers distinctive understanding of the role of theology after the death of God.
Book Synopsis The Age of Spectacular Death by : Michael Hviid Jacobsen
Download or read book The Age of Spectacular Death written by Michael Hviid Jacobsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores death in contemporary society – or more precisely, in the ‘spectacular age’ – by moving beyond classic studies of death that emphasised the importance of the death taboo and death denial to examine how we now ‘do’ death. Unfolding the notion of ‘spectacular death’ as characteristic of our modern approach to death and dying, it considers the new mediation or mediatisation of death and dying; the commercialisation of death as a ‘marketable commodity’ used to sell products, advance artistic expression or provoke curiosity; the re-ritualisation of death and the growth of new ways of finding meaning through commemorating the dead; the revolution of palliative care; and the specialisation surrounding death, particularly in relation to scholarship. Presenting a range of case studies that shed light on this new understanding of death in contemporary culture, The Age of Spectacular Death will appeal to scholars of sociology, cultural and media studies, psychology and anthropology with interests in death and dying.
Book Synopsis History as Apocalypse by : Thomas J. J. Altizer
Download or read book History as Apocalypse written by Thomas J. J. Altizer and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History as Apocalypse is a reenactment of the history of the Western consciousness from the Homeric and Biblica revolutions through Finnegans Wake. This occurs through a historical, literary, and theological analysis of the Christian epic tradition. While attention is focused primarily upon Dante, Milton, Blake, and Joyce, the Classical and Biblical foundations of the Christian epic are explored with the intention of discovering an organic unity in the evolution of the Western consciousness. Our primary epics are identified as revolutionary breakthroughs, not only as transformations of consciousness but also records of social revolutions. The Christian epic is both a consequence and a primary embodiment of the decisive historical revolutions, revolutions culminating with the ending of our historical evolution.
Book Synopsis The Mirroure of the Worlde by : Robert R. Raymo
Download or read book The Mirroure of the Worlde written by Robert R. Raymo and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2003-12-15 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The allegories of the virtues and vices were a common teaching tool in the Middle Ages for both religious and lay audiences to learn the basic tenets of the Christian faith. The Mirroure of the Worlde makes available for the first time the unique text in the fifteenth-century British manuscript, MS. Bodley 283, which is among the last and largest works in the tradition of lay religious instruction mandated by the Fourth Lateran Council. The Mirroure is derived from conflations of the Miroir du Monde and the Somme le Roi, both vernacular treatises on vices and virtues compiled in Northeast France in the thirteenth century. Translated into Middle English by, it is believed, Stephen Scrope, the foremost English translator of the mid-fifteenth century, this edition is one of the only books of virtues and vices that contains Latin text, an inclusion that points towards a more widespread knowledge of the language among the laypeople than previously thought. Complete with explanatory notes and a glossary, The Mirroure of the Worlde widens the understanding of medieval moral instruction, religion, reading practices, and education.

Book Synopsis Maternity in the Post-Apocalypse by : Renae L. Mitchell
Download or read book Maternity in the Post-Apocalypse written by Renae L. Mitchell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maternity in the Post-Apocalypse: Novelistic Revisions of Dystopian Motherhood deconstructs the ways in which women novelists have reconceived the post-apocalyptic genre in recent decades through narratives centered on heroic maternal characters. These writers have placed midwives, pregnant women, and mothers at the forefront of their novels, transforming them from the hapless victims of male oppressors to protagonists who are instrumental in transforming the post-apocalyptic social landscape from one that attempts to reconstruct a patriarchal past to one that safeguards, validates, and even lauds maternity as a form of empowerment. In a novelistic future devastated landscape in which human civilizations are shattered and waver at the brink of extinction, women who embody facets of maternity are taking the reins of rebuilding human societies by overturning patriarchal assumptions of femininity, reclaiming intersectional autonomy, and (re)visioning the possibilities for a declining anthropocene.
