Download or read book Gender in the Book of Ben Sira written by Teresa Ann Ellis and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender in the Book of Ben Sira is a semantic analysis and, also, an investigation of hermeneutical pathways for performing such an analysis. A comparison of possible Greek and Hebrew gender taxonomies precedes the extensive delineation of the target-category, gender. The delineation includes invisible influences in the Book of Ben Sira such as the author’s choices of genre and his situation as a member of a colonized group within a Hellenistic empire. When the Book of Ben Sira’s genre-constrained invectives against women and male fools are excluded, the remaining expectations for women and for men are mostly equivalent, in terms of a pious life lived according to Torah. However, Ben Sira says nothing about distinctions at the level of how “living according to Torah” would differ for the two groups. His book presents an Edenic ideal of marriage through allusions to Genesis 1 to 4, and a substantial overlap of erotic discourse for the female figures of Wisdom and the “intelligent wife” creates tropes similar to those of the Song of Songs. In addition, Ben Sira’s colonial status affects what he says and how he says it; by writing in Hebrew, he could craft the Greek genres of encomium and invective to carry multiple levels of meaning that subvert Hellenistic/Greek claims to cultural superiority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In You Can’t Make This Stuff Up, William M. Scovell writes, “Somehow, we all get through it and land somewhere.” These stories find the mischievous and clever protagonist and a cast of colorful characters entangled in the web of life’s perplexing dilemmas, against the nostalgic backdrop of 20th and 21st century Americana. We all know this character. His fortune never changes as he meanders through grade school, his trials in college, trying to one-up the Rolls Royce salesman, panning for gold in Colorado and coping with his IRS audit. Infused with humor and Steinbeck-inspired wanderlust, these stories explore cherished friendships and purpose and depict day-to-day moments in Pee Wee baseball, Yankee reunions, small-town kids hitting the Big Apple, and his commentaries on the state of the world. Although he adeptly weasels through this medley of muddles with a positive outlook, God only knows how he survived. Must say something about the human condition. The stories provide a spoonful of sweet comic relief and an immediate off-ramp from life’s stresses as these whimsical tales draw readers along on the stirring adventures of that cute neighbor kid, we all knew had no future. Let’s dig in and have some fun!

Download or read book Strays written by Justin Kassab and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Foamers: "A worthy addition to the canon of postapocalyptic fiction, and like the best of such books, at its heart it's a frontier novel, brutal and exciting, celebrating individualism and self-determination." --Tim McLoughlin, author of Heart of the Old Country "When a screwed-up flu vaccine mutates much of humanity into mindless beasts, 'Trust your intelligence' becomes the leitmotif of a group of survivors. Fast-moving, violent, and vividly imagined, Foamers creates a dangerous world made disquietingly believable." --David Poyer, author of Tipping Point Part of Akashic's Kaylie Jones Books imprint. Kade and his group of survivors find out the hard way that the end of the world is more populated than they had previously assumed. When two of his friends are captured by a former National Guard detachment in DC, Kade is forced to turn to his greatest enemy for help. But help comes at a price as seeds of distrust are sown through the group, breaking some of the strongest bonds in the family dynamic and threatening to tear the group apart. With new external threats and internal jealousy--not to mention the growing pack of foamers living on the group's doorstep--the question becomes not just will anyone survive without scars, but will anyone survive at all? The page-turning sequel to the Amazon #1 best-selling thriller Foamers, Strays will leave you questioning everything you think you know about surviving in the modern world.

Download or read book Genetics of Obesity Syndromes written by Philip R. Beales and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-08-29 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is one of the most important contributing factors to disease throughout the world and is an area of great current interest among researchers and clinicians. The genetics of common obesity is complex, and an important thread through this labyrinth is the study of genetic syndromes in which obesity is a major component. By examining the genetic mechanisms of obesity in these syndromes, the authors will shed new light on the genetics of common obesity. This is the first book on this important and exciting new area and addreses both the molecular and clinical features of the obesity syndromes, providing hard-core information for researchers and practical guidelines for clinicians caring for obese patients. The book is divided into three sections: the first covers approaches for assessing and investigating the obese individual; the second describes nondysmorphic, monogenic forms of obesity; and the third documents key, multisystem obesity syndromes with various genetic etiologies. It is as much a reference book as it is a manual and will appeal to clinical geneticists, obesity researchers, endocrinologists, nutritionists, and medical biologists.

Download or read book Islam Sufism and Everyday Politics of Belonging in South Asia written by Deepra Dandekar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the study of ideas, practices and institutions in South Asian Islam, commonly identified as ‘Sufism’, and how they relate to politics in South Asia. While the importance of Sufism for the lives of South Asian Muslims has been repeatedly asserted, the specific role played by Sufism in contestations over social and political belonging in South Asia has not yet been fully analysed. Looking at examples from five countries in South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan), the book begins with a detailed introduction to political concerns over ‘belonging’ in relation to questions concerning Sufism and Islam in South Asia. This is followed with sections on Producing and Identifying Sufism; Everyday and Public Forms of Belonging; Sufi Belonging, Local and National; and Intellectual History and Narratives of Belonging. Bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines, the book explores the connection of Islam, Sufism and the Politics of Belonging in South Asia. It is an important contribution to South Asian Studies, Islamic Studies and South Asian Religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God makes himself known in the Gog Magog war. God has also made known the identity of the Two Witnesses. There are biblical answers to questions about major prophetic events. We may not know the date when something will happen, but we can know how prophetic events relate to each other. Through careful study of the prophetic scriptures many things can be known about both the past and the future. In this book the reader will learn who the Two Witnesses in Revelation are. The identity of the beast spoken of by Daniel and by John the apostle will be revealed. The reader will learn the last trump is not the seventh trumpet. The three woes in Revelation will be identified to reveal a mystery inside an enigma. Biblical revelations in the Bible will surprise many devoted Bible students. Scripture can explain other scripture, and the connections can be amazing and involve both the Old and New Testament. Greater clarity will be given on some of the most misunderstood and controversial topics in end times prophecy. Multiple timelines, tables, and maps are presented to explain various end times prophetic teachings. The Bible has many prophecies that are still future, and the Christian ambassador for Christ can learn how these events will impact the ability to be a faithful witness. God’s word is a light to our path.
