Download or read book Holmes Revealed written by Amos Ambrose and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DID SHERLOCK HOLMES BELIEVE IN GOD? Sherlock Holmes is arguably regarded as the most famous detective of all time. More articles, stories, documentaries and news releases have been written about Holmes than any other fictional character in history. One would think that with all that media coverage everything that could possibly be known about Sherlock Holmes had already been revealed. Not quite! Dr. Ambrose delves into a subject that few have dared tread, and unravels a mystery as baffling as any faced by the famed English detective. Did Holmes believe in God? If so, did his faith include a belief in an afterlife, or embrace the theology of a final Day of Judgment? And, apart from just acknowledging the existence of God, is there evidence in his life that Holmes relied on the infinite power of God? These are the questions that are explored in this book. Dr. Ambrose takes the reader on an incredible journey: examining Holmes keen knowledge of the Bible, his thoughts about Darwin's theory of evolution, the three Christian virtues expressed by Holmes' character, and much more. Along the way, he imparts to the reader nuggets of little known facts about the great detective; for instance, did you know that the phrase, "elementary, my dear Watson," was never spoken by Sherlock Holmes? Or that 221 b Baker Street is actually a physical address in London? If Dr. Ambrose's analysis on the spiritual life of Sherlock Holmes wasn't enough, the references included in this volume consist of ten of Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories. Holmes Revealed is an inspirational and provocative read that is guaranteed to challenge your intellect and put a smile on your face.

Download or read book Fields of Grace Devotional Thoughts written by George Gaffga and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2013-11-04 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I sit down to write a second devotional book my goal is to provide encouragement for living the Kingdom of God in the here and now. I would also like to challenge us, stretch us and comfort us. I say us because I am a fellow traveler on this journey of faith. I have had many of the same struggles, disappointments and failures, and also have been refreshed by the exuberant grace of our God. Jesus said the way to life is narrow. He did not mean exclusive or difficult. He meant that people don't want to be students. For those willing to make the effort they will discover his yoke is easy and his burden is light. Those who think it hard have looked at Jesus from too far a distance. I love this quote from G.K. Chesterton: "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried."
Download or read book The Critical Reception of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle written by Laurence W. Mazzeno and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2023 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines both academic and popular assessments of Conan Doyle's work, giving pride of place to the Holmes stories and their adaptations, and also attending to the wide range of his published work. Twenty-first-century readers, television viewers, and moviegoers know Arthur Conan Doyle as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, the world's most recognizable fictional detective. Holmes's enduring popularity has kept Conan Doyle in the public eye. However, Holmes has taken on a life of his own, generating a steady stream of critical commentary, while Conan Doyle's other works are slighted or ignored. Yet the Holmes stories make up only a small portion of Conan Doyle's published work, which includes mainstream and historical fiction; history; drama; medical, spiritualist, and political tracts; and even essays on photography. When Doyle published - whatever the subject - his contemporaries took note. Yet, outside of the fiction featuring Sherlock Holmes, until recently relatively little has been done to analyze the reception Conan Doyle's work received during his lifetime and since his death. This book examines both academic and popular assessments of Conan Doyle's work, giving pride of place to the Holmes stories and their many adaptations for print, visual, and online media, but attending to his other contributions to turn-of-the-twentieth-century culture as well. The availability of periodicals and newspapers online makes it possible to develop an assessment of Conan Doyle's (and Sherlock Holmes's) reputation among a wider readership and viewership, thus allowing for development of a broader and more accurate portrait of Doyle's place in literary and cultural history.

Not only had she torn the ruffles and destroyed the hem, but the white linen stood out in the shadowy woods, making her an easy target.
