Book excerpt: Discover the three secrets to happiness--and much more--in the later years of life. Never before in human history have so many people lived for decades beyond their working years. 10,000 Americans turn 65 each day, and their average life expectancy is another 20 years--and many will live longer. But will they just live or have a meaningful life? The truth is that many--if not most--people approaching the latter years do not have a plan, much less a strategy to thrive instead of just survive. Packed with information based on research as well as common-sense wisdom, here are some examples of what readers will discover: How retiring at the wrong time increases the likelihood of dying 89%. What can delay Alzheimer's onset an average of 9 years. How everything that makes you happy comes in just 3 forms. Which partner is most likely to initiate divorce after decades of marriage and why.
Book Synopsis Reformation by : Diarmaid MacCulloch
Download or read book Reformation written by Diarmaid MacCulloch and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-09-02 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reformation was the seismic event in European history over the past 1000 years, and one which tore the medieval world apart. Not just European religion, but thought, culture, society, state systems, personal relations - everything - was turned upside down. Just about everything which followed in European history can be traced back in some way to the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation which it provoked. The Reformation is where the modern world painfully and dramatically began, and MacCulloch's great history of it is recognised as the best modern account.
Book Synopsis Sodomy in Reformation Germany and Switzerland, 1400-1600 by : Helmut Puff
Download or read book Sodomy in Reformation Germany and Switzerland, 1400-1600 written by Helmut Puff and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the late Middle Ages, a considerable number of men in Germany and Switzerland were executed for committing sodomy. Even in the seventeenth century, simply speaking of the act was cause for censorship. Here, in the first history of sodomy in these countries, Helmut Puff argues that accusations of sodomy during this era were actually crucial to the success of the Protestant Reformation. Drawing on both literary and historical evidence, Puff shows that speakers of German associated sodomy with Italy and, increasingly, Catholicism. As the Reformation gained momentum, the formerly unspeakable crime of sodomy gained a voice, as Martin Luther and others deployed accusations of sodomy to discredit the upper ranks of the Church and to create a sense of community among Protestant believers. During the sixteenth century, reactions against this defamatory rhetoric, and fear that mere mention of sodomy would incite sinful acts, combined to repress even court cases of sodomy. Written with precision and meticulously researched, this revealing study will interest historians of gender, sexuality, and religion, as well as scholars of medieval and early modern history and culture.

Book Synopsis The Catholic Reformation by : Michael A. Mullett
Download or read book The Catholic Reformation written by Michael A. Mullett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Reformation (1999) provides a dynamic and original history of this crucial movement in early modern Europe. Starting from the late middle ages, it clearly traces the continuous transformation of Catholicism in its structure, bodies and doctrine. Charting the gain in momentum of Catholic renewal from the time of the Council of Trent, it also considers the ambiguous effect of the Protestant Reformation in accelerating the renovation of the Catholic Church. It explores how and why the Catholic Reformation occurred, stressing that many moves towards restoration were underway well before the Protestant Reformation. The huge impact the Catholic renewal had, not only on the papacy, Church leaders and religious ritual and practice, but also on the lives of ordinary people – their culture, arts, attitudes and relationships – is shown in colourful detail.

Book Synopsis Medieval Scandinavia by : Birgit Sawyer
Download or read book Medieval Scandinavia written by Birgit Sawyer and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Scandinavia has been, and still is, deeply influenced by the interpretation of its earliest history that was developed in the 19th century by political, legal, and literary historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists. Scandinavia figured prominently in discussions of early medieval Europe, not only as the homeland of the Vikings, but also as the region in which Germanic society remained uncontaminated by Christianity and other influences longer than anywhere else. In "Medieval Scandinavia", Birgit and Peter Sawyer question assumptions about early Scandinavian history, including the supposed leading role of free and equal peasants and their position in founding churches. They meticulously trace the development of Scandinavia from the early ninth century through the second and third decades of the 16th century, when rulers of Scandinavia rejected the authority of the Papacy and the attempt to establish a united Scandinavian monarchy finally collapsed. The authors include a discussion of medieval history writing and comment on the use of history in the 16th century and modern attitudes to medieval history which differ in various parts of Scandinavia. They ultimately conclude that historic Scandinavia held greater similarities to other European regions than has been commonly supposed. Birgit Sawyer is one of the founders of the biennial interdisciplinary conferences on women in medieval Scandinavia. Peter Sawyer's previous books include "Kings and Vikings" and "The Age of the Vikings".
Download or read book Irresistible written by Andy Stanley and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Book Synopsis French Huguenot Protestant Reformation Movement by : James M. Lowrance
Download or read book French Huguenot Protestant Reformation Movement written by James M. Lowrance and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS IS THE LENGTHIER VERSION at 13,900 words. See the condensed version at 5,940 words, titled "How Huguenot Protestant Reformers Changed the World". Most non-Catholic Christians are not aware of the Protestant Reformation Movement of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, without which, we would have no choice even today but to be Catholics. Does this sound strange to you if you're Protestant? That's because many Protestant pastors are not teaching their flocks about this Christian, world-changing event . I honor the right of people in Catholicism to practice their religion because as a USA citizen it is my constitutional duty but Protestants can still strongly disagree with many of their interpretations on doctrines of the Holy Bible. These include paying money to the Catholic church to get loved ones out of "purgatory" - a place in-between Heaven and Hell, praying to Saints and to Mary who we love dearly rather than to the Father through Jesus Christ, belief that with the partaking of communion (Eucharist}, the bread and wine become the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ , etc.... Still, it is our duty to honor their rights of beliefs because we also have those rights as Protestants. We all of course do not have to honor hostile, violent religious movements because this is an abuse of religious rights. Protestantism and Catholicism are not still at war but during the 16th, 17th and part of the 18th centuries there were over 10-million deaths that resulted as a result of the Protestant Reformation Movement. A people called "Huguenots," who were French, protested the coerced enforcement of Catholicism, as did followers of Martin Luther, referred to as Lutherans. My family tree books show that my own ancestors were Huguenot-French Protestants, as does my DNA testing. The National Huguenot Society also lists my ancestor, a man named Johannes Lorentz, who with his wife Anna Margaretha Heiliger, immigrated to Holland and from there, to the USA. Learn more about the Protestant Reformation Movement in this 13,900 word book. Included within the pages is discussion of Protestant Beliefs including Those in Contrast to Catholicism
