Download or read book Absalom s Wake written by Nancy A. Collins and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon the death of his beloved Uncle Calvin, a young Jonah Padgett makes his way to Sag Harbor with nothing but a letter of introduction and a strange amulet shaped like a dolphin. He signs on to the whaler Absalom, under the command of his uncle's old friend, Captain Solomon. Upon rounding the Horn, the crew hears stories of a sperm whale said to be as big as a mountain with skin as black as a bible, and in command of a harem of a hundred females. Captain Solomon wagers that his crew will be the one to make its fortune hunting down the elusive "King Jim". But when the Absalom signs on the native called Koro as a harpooner, the ship is beleaguered by inexplicable disappearances and horrific death, which pits shipmate against shipmate. While trying to clear his friend of suspicion, Jonah finds himself adrift in a fantastical world filled with dolphin-like merfolk and nightmarish were-sharks, endangered equally by inhuman creatures from the ocean’s depths and human fear and superstition, his very life at the mercy of something as old and mysterious as the sea itself.

Download or read book The Rebellion of Absalom written by Keith Bodner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With extraordinary range and literary energy, the story of Absalom’s rebellion in 2 Samuel ranks as the most elaborate and extensively narrated internal political event in the Hebrew Bible, complete with a host of scandalous and sordid events: illicit sex, murder, cover-up, petty crime, to name a few. For many students approaching the historical books of the Bible, however, texts often fail to address the vitality of this most turbulent period of King David’s career. Bodner addresses this shortcoming with his The Rebellion of Absalom, a lively analysis of the early monarchy of Israel, written by a recognized commentator of the Bible’s historical books. Concise and insightful, each chapter incrementally focuses on the stages of David’s rise to power and Absalom’s early life and rebellion. Crucial issues in the development of Israel’s monarchy are embedded in this story, including: royal legitimation divine election succession usurpation divine and human punishment. The Rebellion of Absalom is a student-friendly, culturally savvy approach to one of the most important episodes in deciding how the kings of Israel would be determined throughout the monarchic period.

Book excerpt: This book sounds a bold call for loyalty to God and to God's Davids. God's Davids are leaders-male and female-who are safest to follow because of their unwavering passion to be intimate with Christ. God is turning the hearts of fathers to the children, and giving the children a heart of loyalty to the fathers. Knowing the power of loyalty to produce Kingdom blessing at every level, Satan has done everything in his power to give this subject a bad reputation. But today's generation isn't buying it anymore. Now, more than ever, the bride of Christ is giving her heart with intense loyalty to her Beloved and preparing eagerly for His return. Get ready, this book could rock your world.

Download or read book Maternal Grief in the Hebrew Bible written by Ekaterina E. Kozlova and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting out from the observation made in the social sciences that maternal grief can at times be a motor of societal change, Ekaterina E. Kozlova demonstrates that a similar mechanism operates also in the biblical world. Kozlova argues that maternal grief is treated as a model or archetype of grief in biblical and Ancient Near Eastern literature. The work considers three narratives and one poem that illustrate the transformative power of maternal grief in the biblical presentation: Gen 21, Hagar and Ishmael in the desert; 2 Sam 21: 1-14, Rizpah versus King David; 2 Sam 14, the speech of the Tekoite woman; Jer 31: 15-22, Rachel weeping for her children. Although only one of the texts literally refers to a bereaved mother (2 Sam 21 on Rizpah), all four passages draw on the motif of maternal grief, and all four stage some form of societal transformation.

Download or read book Pearl S Buck written by Peter Conn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-28 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most popular novelists of the twentieth century, winner of a Pulitzer and Nobel Prize for Literature and an active social and political campaigner, particularly in the field of women's issues and Asian-American relations, Pearl Buck has, until now, remained 'hidden in public view'. Best known, perhaps, as the prolific author of The Good Earth, Buck led a career which extended well beyond her eighty works of fiction and non-fiction and deep into the public sphere. In this critically acclaimed biography, Peter Conn retrieves Pearl Buck from the footnotes of literary and cultural history and reinstates her as a figure of compelling and uncommon significance in twentieth-century literary, cultural and political history.
