Book Synopsis The Secret Revelation of John by : Karen L. King
Download or read book The Secret Revelation of John written by Karen L. King and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost in antiquity, rediscovered in 1896, and only recently accessible for study, The Secret Revelation of John offers a firsthand look into the diversity of Christianity before the establishment of canon and creed. Karen L. King offers an illuminating reading of this ancient text--a narrative of the creation of the universe and humanity and a guide to justice and salvation, said to be Christ's revelation to his disciple John. Freeing the Revelation from the category of "Gnosticism" to which such accounts were relegated, King shows how the Biblical text could be read by early Christians in radical and revisionary ways. By placing the Revelation in its social and intellectual milieu, she revises our understanding of early Christianity and, more generally, religious thought in the ancient Mediterranean world. Her work helps the modern reader through many intriguing--but confusing--ideas in the text: for example, that the creator god of Genesis, a self-described jealous and exclusive god, is not the true Deity but a kind of fallen angel; or, in an overt critique of patriarchy unique in ancient literature, the declaration that the subordination of woman to man was an ignorant act in direct violation of the "holy height." In King's analysis, the Revelation becomes not strange but a comprehensible religious vision--and a window on the religious culture of the Roman Empire. A translation of the complete Secret Revelation of John is included.

Download or read book Saviors written by Robert Wahler and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-12-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly two thousand years a man called Jesus Christ has dominated the religious landscape of the Western World. Now, with the discovery of a corpus of ancient manuscripts from the desert sands of the Middle East and a fresh look at the New Testament Gospels, a new understanding of his rightful place in history and that of his remarkable family has emerged. In his own words, Jesus tells us his was a ministry limited in time and place to those who could see him and hear him, a ministry of personal non-sacrificial mystic salvation meant only for those alive when he was, the salvation of others being the responsibility of others like him. In words of undeniable clarity, Jesus indicates he wasn't alone in coming here as Savior. His cousin, John "the Baptist," and his brother, James "the Just," are shown to be Masters of the Highest Order, predecessor and successor, respectively, to Jesus. Amazingly, possible evidence for two more brothers of like stature is revealed. Newly discovered ancient manuscripts recovered from caves on the Dead Sea at Qumran and from the desert sands at Nag Hammadi near the Nile River lend an authority and authenticity unrivaled by even the Bible itself in support of this new view of "Messianism." The heart and soul of Christianity itself comes up for a full and honest examination when the self-proclaimed thirteenth apostle of Christ--Paul--is conclusively shown, almost unbelievably, by Jesus himself to be the perpetrator of the greatest fraud in the history of mankind: the false doctrine of universal sacrificial atonement through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. All this is aided and abetted by a centuries-long history of scribal and ecclesiastical corruption, both intentional and unintentional. It is time now for the world community to acknowledge this demonstrable certainty and harmonize the religious history of the Middle East with that of the Far East.

Also includes a foreword by acclaimed antiquarian, Julian Cope.

Book excerpt: Time travel has made the Edge of Time a dangerous place. To protect the Edge of Time from the disastrous alterations of time travelers, the Aeon Legion seeks the greatest soldiers and warriors from the most bloody, war-torn eras in history. Those they deem worthy gain a chance to compete in the toughest training program ever designed. Terra Mason, a plain eighteen-year-old girl from the modern United States, has an impressive stubborn streak. Her persistence and bravery gains the notice and sponsorship of one of the Aeon Legion's greatest heroines. Now Terra must turn that stubbornness into determination if she is to contend with history's finest soldiers and somehow pass the Aeon Legion's final test, the mysterious Labyrinth. She will not quit. Terra will prove that even someone as average as her can still be a heroine. Hanns Speer is polite, good-natured, charming, a genius inventor of a time travel machine, and a dedicated member of the Nazi Party. Yet he cannot understand why people from the future regard him and his fellow Nazis as monsters. Now he must use his charisma and cunning to challenge the seemingly invincible Aeon Legion and its monopoly on time travel. He will not quit. Hanns will steal history itself if he has to, mistakenly believing it will prove him to be a hero.

Download or read book The Snake written by Frederick Guttmann and published by Frederick Guttmann. This book was released on with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of the world, do we really know them? The rebellion of Satan, a theme that has given rise to a large number of legends, books and fables over the centuries. Preconceptions about how evil started and if anyone is running it are present in every self-respecting ancient story. How did the man appear? In addition to providing new insights in this regard, Project Magen, by the hand of this researcher, will focus its attention in this case on the figure of said shadowy character and the roots of knowledge about the appearance of man, both by reviewing the narratives that are have hovered around these aspects as in the information that we have been able to obtain and document, in order to have an objective and analytical notion in another of the great topics of debate, controversy and religion that interests seekers of truth so much. That Devil would be a name of Greek origin, "diabolos", which would mean "accuser" or "slanderer". So far there isn't much we don't already know. And what about Lucifer? The Sakla Rebellion II will also deal with the famous Adam and Eve affair. As some may already know, the name Satan is the transformation that the Hebrew word "Satan" took over time, which simply means "adversary" in that language. The general consensus accepts, or agrees, that Satan is the Devil himself. It is also assumed to be another name for the same person. Lucifer would be a Latin appellation arising from "the deformation of another deformation" -or simply the form that Jerome used in the Vulgate-, in this case from "Luzbel", an abbreviation of "Beautiful Light" -it is usually affirmed-. If anyone wonders, what reason would it take to give this pseudonym to said figure? Well, the first thing is the general costumbrismo that associates Satan with Venus (the celestial body that is said to shine the brightest on Earth after the Sun, the Moon and the triple star Sirius) and, of course, with the biblical passage that seems to mention him (Isaiah 14:12), calling him "Morning Star", if we accept the translation of Reina Valera.

Book Synopsis Histories of the Hidden God by : April D DeConick
Download or read book Histories of the Hidden God written by April D DeConick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Western religious traditions, God is conventionally conceived as a humanlike creator, lawgiver, and king, a being both accessible and actively present in history. Yet there is a concurrent and strong tradition of a God who actively hides. The two traditions have led to a tension between a God who is simultaneously accessible to humanity and yet inaccessible, a God who is both immanent and transcendent, present and absent. Western Gnostic, esoteric, and mystical thinking capitalizes on the hidden and hiding God. He becomes the hallmark of the mystics, Gnostics, sages, and artists who attempt to make accessible to humans the God who is secreted away. 'Histories of the Hidden God' explores this tradition from antiquity to today. The essays focus on three essential themes: the concealment of the hidden God; the human quest for the hidden God, and revelations of the hidden God.
Book Synopsis The Unruly Garden by : Robert Duncan
Download or read book The Unruly Garden written by Robert Duncan and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Duncan was a defining figure of twentieth-century American poetry. Eric Mottram was a pioneer in the field of American Studies in the UK and a key contributor to the British Poetry Revival. In the 1970s the two men conducted a wide-ranging dialogue on poetry, politics and the religious through an exchange of intense and often expansive letters. Mottram continued the dialogue in two substantive critical examinations of Duncan's work. The Unruly Garden presents an annotated edition of the complete available correspondence along with the two essays. The first essay was heavily edited when originally published and is included here in its restored form. The second essay appeared in a small press magazine and now receives the wider circulation it deserves.
