Download or read book A Compliation of Obsecurities written by Trebor Onairtas and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Compilation of Obscurities is a collection of essays of philosophical relevance. Each essay is based upon a personal understanding and/or the use of reason to establish a conclusion that uncovers the covered. Each essay seeks to prepare the mind to be induced to pursue the subject in further depth. They are written in such a manner to insure a full understanding and leave no doubt as to what is being expressed. "The SmaragdineTable," an essay by Hermes Trismegistis, is exceptional to the point of being remarkable in its effort to reveal how the world and its contents were created. The analysis of the Table offered emerged after an extraordinary amount of time, research, and effort was extended that instilled confidence of being Hermes' message. This essay and the analysis alone is awakening and magnetizing, leaving further curiosity to pursue the absence of the unknown.
Download or read book The Obscurity of Scripture Disputing Sola Scriptura and the Protestant Notion of Biblical Perspicuity written by Casey J. Chalk and published by Emmaus Academic. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turn on Christian radio anywhere in the United States and see how long it takes before someone declares that “Scripture clearly teaches [fill in the blank].” There’s a reason for that, and it has to do with the very origins of Protestant Christianity more than five hundred years ago. The Protestant Reformation coalesced around five core doctrines: sola scriptura, sola fide, sola gratia, solus Christus, and soli Deo gloria. But another founding principle served as bedrock for all of them: the doctrine of clarity, or perspicuity. According to this doctrine, which was upheld in various forms by all the major Reformers and remains central to Protestantism today, the Bible is clear enough so that any Christian, relying on the Holy Spirit, will be able to determine at least what is necessary for salvation, if not much more. The Obscurity of Scripture: Disputing Sola Scriptura and the Protestant Notion of Biblical Perspicuity catalogues and analyzes the historical, theological, and philosophical dimensions of perspicuity and finds the doctrine not only confused but erroneous, destructive, and self-defeating. The Obscurity of Scripture exposes the hopeless dead ends of clarity and, through a consideration of Catholic teaching on the Bible, offers the only way out.
Download or read book Coping with Obscurity written by James P. Allen and published by Lockwood Press. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coping with Obscurity publishes the papers discussed at the Brown University Workshop on Earlier Egyptian grammar in March, 2013. The workshop united ten scholars of differing viewpoints dealing with the central question of how to judge and interpret the grammatical value of the written evidence preserved in texts of the Old and Middle Kingdoms (ca. 2350-1650 BC). The nine papers in the volume present orthographic, lexical, morphological, and syntactic approaches to the data and represent a significant step toward a new, pluralistic understanding of Earlier Egyptian grammar.
Download or read book The Uses of Obscurity written by Allon White and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981, this book examines why and how textual difficulty became a norm of modernist literature and questions how we can begin to account for the forms of obscurity and difficulty which developed in the late 19th Century and which became so important to modernism. The author argues that the decline of realism entailed the growth of ‘symptomatic’ or ‘subtextual’ reading which tended to treat fiction as compromised autobiography. This kind of reading left the author dangerously isolated and exposed in the midst of a newly sophisticated public. Within this general cultural perspective, the book traces the private anxieties that led George Meredith, Joseph Conrad and Henry James to conceal themselves within their complex and resistant fictions. It discusses opacity in the texts themselves – embarrassment and shame in Meredith; ‘engimas’ in Conrad; and the fear of vulgarity and knowledge in Henry James.

Download or read book Mechthild of Magdeburg and Her Book written by Sara S. Poor and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometime around 1230, a young woman left her family and traveled to the German city of Magdeburg to devote herself to worship and religious contemplation. Rather than living in a community of holy women, she chose isolation, claiming that this life would bring her closer to God. Even in her lifetime, Mechthild of Magdeburg gained some renown for her extraordinary book of mystical revelations, The Flowing Light of the Godhead, the first such work in the German vernacular. Yet her writings dropped into obscurity after her death, many assume because of her gender. In Mechthild of Magdeburg and Her Book, Sara S. Poor seeks to explain this fate by considering Mechthild's own view of female authorship, the significance of her choice to write in the vernacular, and the continued, if submerged, presence of her writings in a variety of contexts from the thirteenth through the nineteenth century. Rather than explaining Mechthild's absence from literary canons, Poor's close examination of medieval and early modern religious literature and of contemporary scholarly writing reveals her subject's shifting importance in a number of differently defined traditions, high and low, Latin and vernacular, male- and female-centered. While gender is often a significant factor in this history, Poor demonstrates that it is rarely the only one. Her book thus corrects late twentieth-century arguments about women writers and canon reform that often rest on inadequate notions of exclusion. Mechthild of Magdeburg and Her Book offers new insights into medieval vernacular mysticism, late medieval women's roles in the production of culture, and the construction of modern literary traditions.

Download or read book Obscurity and Clarity in the Law written by Sophie Cacciaguidi-Fahy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the intricate and multi-dimensional conception of clarity and obscurity in the law. It presents and examines the most recent research and theories, giving practical guidance on how to avoid obscurity in legal drafting and its impact on legal interpretation. The book is aimed at a multidisciplinary audience and seeks to promote an interdisciplinary debate on clarity, law and language, calling for the moving of clarity beyond the study of plain language. The aims of the book are thus two fold. The first is to critically reach a nexus between the disciplines of law and language with respect to the debates on clarity in legal discourse. The second is to achieve an international perspective on the issue, drawing from a wide range of legal and political contexts.
