Book excerpt: A comprehensive study of Jewish and Christian teaching about animals, this text argues that the treatment of animals is not only a moral issue, but also a theological and spiritual one. The authors show how Jews and Christians have often failed to promote a compassionate and sensitive regard for animals. The text argues that the way we treat animals is a benchmark of the kind of society we are, and that in recognizing the true, and biblically based, value of animals, we liberate ourselves from the idolatry which is to be found at the heart of much contemporary spirituality. It is addressed to all people of faith who believe that, in devaluing animals, we ultimately devalue ourselves and our own souls.

This book will show you how to have that extraordinary faith.

Download or read book The Ark Before Noah written by Irving Finkel and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent translation of a Babylonian tablet launches a groundbreaking investigation into one of the most famous stories in the world, challenging the way we look at ancient history. Since the Victorian period, it has been understood that the story of Noah, iconic in the Book of Genesis, and a central motif in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, derives from a much older story that existed centuries before in ancient Babylon. But the relationship between the Babylonian and biblical traditions was shrouded in mystery. Then, in 2009, Irving Finkel, a curator at the British Museum and a world authority on ancient Mesopotamia, found himself playing detective when a member of the public arrived at the museum with an intriguing cuneiform tablet from a family collection. Not only did the tablet reveal a new version of the Babylonian Flood Story; the ancient poet described the size and completely unexpected shape of the ark, and gave detailed boat building specifications. Decoding this ancient message wedge by cuneiform wedge, Dr. Finkel discovered where the Babylonians believed the ark came to rest and developed a new explanation of how the old story ultimately found its way into the Bible. In The Ark Before Noah, Dr. Finkel takes us on an adventurous voyage of discovery, opening the door to an enthralling world of ancient voices and new meanings.

A Daddy's Girl and Texas Tomboy, she grew up in rural Texas roping and riding on horses with her Father, and found out love could be harder for a Tomboy who weren't as pretty as the cheerleaders. She had kept secret diaries through her teens of her ideas of love, sexual secrets, and as older guy friends shared benefits, they rejected her afterwards. She wrote about her strict religious upbringing and guilt from self-intimacy, and private sexual fantasies about the perfect Cowboy, her father. Her "Daddy Issues," and not recognizing her darker sexual needs exploded to the surface her 2nd year in College, and was recorded by her, in 'The Noah Diary." With her secret "Daddy Issues," her thick, Texas curves in her favorite Cowgirl boots and short-shorts, found herself in the arms of a stranger and older Cowboy named 'Noah' who was 27 years old, and whose style of intimacy was emotionally and physically brutal and poisoning to her mind. Jordan began a sexually-dominated summer with her hands tied behind her back, getting forced to explore her darker sexual desires of real sexual humiliation, stimulating sexual-emotional abuse, and disturbing sexual mind-play drawing out her need for more than Daddy's approval. Noah used these on her all summer as he forced her sexual needs past limits she couldn't handle, punishing her with her own desires to screaming excess, drugging her daily, and bringing her into complete Submission to his stimulating Daddy role over her. She had found true love in this journey of self-discovery and understanding, and began to feel like a beautiful cheerleader with her new Daddy, and as the summer came to an end, she feared leaving Noah to go back to college, feared facing her religious parents, her lies to them about working all summer, the truth that she had flunked her last semester to be with Noah, and they paid the bill. She had to return home to face her mistakes, when all she wanted, was happily ever after in Texas.

Download or read book From Adam to Noah The Numbers Game written by Leonard Timmons and published by Sliding Stories LLC. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genealogy of Adam in Genesis Chapter 5 is a number puzzle that encodes a fully functional calendar! "From Adam to Noah-The Numbers Game" shows you precisely how the Bible writers encoded a calendar into the ages of Adam and his children in Genesis 5. It then goes on to show how the Bible writers designed their calendar puzzle so that anyone who managed to solve it would be certain they had the correct solution. Proof of a highly accurate calendar encoded within the numbers of Genesis 5 is a revolution in our understanding of Genesis. It allows us to dramatically revise our understanding of the entire Bible.To truly understand why a calendar puzzle exists within the Bible, we have to explore the reasons why someone several thousand years ago would enshrine a calendar in such an ingenious puzzle. That exploration leads to new and insightful interpretations of each of the stories in Genesis 1 to 11: The creation, Adam and Eve, Abel and Cain, Noah's ark, the story of Noah and his wine, and Tower of Babel story.Most of us have been taught that the Bible was written to be understood. The existence of the calendar puzzle forces us to recognize that those who wrote the Bible hid things there that they did not want everyone to understand. They hid a world view that they never state explicitly. We will find that this philosophy inspired them to create the calendar puzzle, and that the way they viewed the world is more important and more fascinating than the calendar itself.In this book you will experience what it is like to discover something very new hidden within something very old. You'll discover that this new thing was ancient knowledge when the Bible was written. Remember the story of the pearl of great price? A merchant, upon finding a pearl of great value, sold everything he had and bought it. The calendar in Genesis is such a pearl. If you're looking, don't miss this chance to own one.

Download or read book Claiming Noah written by Amanda Ortlepp and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This riveting debut novel of psychological suspense explores the dilemmas that arise when motherhood and science collide. Catriona Sinclair has always had a well-developed sense of independence--in fact the one sore point in her otherwise happy marriage is her husband James's desire to take care of her. As she's often tried to explain to him, she took care of herself before she met him, and did a good job of it. But James has been especially attentive lately as they struggle to have a baby. They succeed at last through in vitro fertilization, but unwilling to risk the heartbreak of another miscarriage, they decide to make their "spare" frozen embryo available to another family. Diana and Liam Simmons are desperate for a child. Unable to conceive, they are overjoyed to learn that as the closest genetic match to the Sinclairs they are the recipients of the embryo donation. Diana's only concern is her mother's disapproval of IVF, but any doubts raised are quickly eclipsed by Diana's joy of being pregnant. As Diana is finding delight in every aspect of motherhood, Catriona keeps waiting for the rush of adoration she knows she is supposed to feel, but instead slips into a deep depression. Just as Catriona begins to find her way back to normalcy, one of the babies is kidnapped. Suddenly, all of their lives begin to unravel and intertwine, and none of them will ever be the same.

Download or read book Noah s Women written by Elizabeth Léonie Simpson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noah's Women This novella is a tale of mass murder, attempted rape, fratricide, and both filial devotion and rebellion. It is an attempt to rectify some omissions in a well-known story. Who were the women who participated in the Flood? What was the life they led on the famed Ark? There are six chapters--one telling Noah's own thoughts of rebellion against an unfair God, one by his silently suffering wife, and four by each one of the sons' wives. (The fourth son, Aaron, has not been recorded in Jewish folklore. Noah banished him from memory.) These four wives--the mythological forebears of all who came after that Deluge--are as different as human beings can be: the first, like Noah's own wife, is a quiet, submissive person who believes in male dominance. The second is an out-of-step egalitarian with the good fortune to find a similar husband. The third is a secretive, manipulative bisexual; and the last, a spoiled child bride who brings misfortune on herself through pride and a belief in caste superiority no longer functional in times of disaster. TRAMONTANE This is a mythic tale of a giant wanderer who is telling the story of his continuing search for his people, for acceptance, and for love. Over the years the first of these continues to evade him, but finally he finds both acceptance and love in the person of a stranger whose tragic end propels the old story-teller to revenge and the acceptance of his own death.

Despite her longing for the daughter she hasn’t seen since she was a baby, Maggie is happy too, and she’s even more overjoyed when she unexpectedly gets another chance to be a mother to the child she thought she'd lost forever, her only daughter Anna. Maggie and Noah know that having Anna around will change their lives, but they would never have guessed that everything would go wrong, and so quickly. Anna turns out to be a gorgeous seventeen-year-old who balks at living under their rules, though Maggie, ecstatic to have her daughter back, ignores the red flags that hint at the trouble brewing in a once-perfect marriage and home. Events take a heartbreaking turn when Anna is murdered and Noah is accused and tried for the heinous crime. Maggie must face not only the devastation of losing her daughter, but the realization that Anna's murder may have been at the hands of a husband she loves.

Download or read book Noah s Ark written by Hubert Damisch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Noah's Ark to Diller + Scofidio's “Blur” Building, a distinguished art historian maps new ways to think about architecture's origin and development. Trained as an art historian but viewing architecture from the perspective of a “displaced philosopher,” Hubert Damisch in these essays offers a meticulous parsing of language and structure to “think architecture in a different key,” as Anthony Vidler puts it in his introduction. Drawn to architecture because it provides “an open series of structural models,” Damisch examines the origin of architecture and then its structural development from the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries. He leads the reader from Jean-François Blondel to Eugène Viollet-le-Duc to Mies van der Rohe to Diller + Scofidio, with stops along the way at the Temple of Jerusalem, Vitruvius's De Architectura, and the Louvre. In the title essay, Damisch moves easily from Diderot's Encylopédie to Noah's Ark (discussing the provisioning, access, floor plan) to the Pan American Building to Le Corbusier to Ground Zero. Noah's Ark marks the origin of construction, and thus of architecture itself. Diderot's Encylopédie entry on architecture followed his entry on Noah's Ark; architecture could only find its way after the Flood. In these thirteen essays, written over a span of forty years, Damisch takes on other histories and theories of architecture to trace a unique trajectory of architectural structure and thought. The essays are, as Vidler says, “a set of exercises” in thinking about architecture.
