Book excerpt: Examines the origins of the deicide accusation, the claim that the Jews killed Jesus, which has always been the main antisemitic cliché. Although St. Paul, who made the sacrifice of God's son a centerpoint of the new religion, can be regarded as the inventor of Christian antisemitism, he did not level the accusation of deicide against the Jews. Argues that it was the authors of the Synoptic Gospels, who wanted both to placate the Roman rulers by diverting the guilt from them and to dissociate themselves from Jewish nationalism after 70 CE, who accused the Jews. The image of Abraham's sacrifice always lurked behind the Crucifixion in Christian theology; Isaac was regarded as a spiritual ancestor of Christians. Abraham's sacrifice which was thwarted by God posed a theological problem for Christianity: if God prohibited the sacrifice of children, how could He sacrifice His own son? The problem was solved by diverting the accusation of infanticide from God to His people. In the Middle Ages, the notion that the Jews were capable of killing children was transformed into the belief in ritual murder. Scenarios of many blood libels included crucifixion of the victim. In the views of that epoch, the Jews needed to consume Christian blood because it was their only substitute for the Eucharist, essential for salvation. The image of the Jew as a ritual murderer, and at the same time the devil's henchman and a traitorous Judas, was adopted by classical English literature, the most striking example of which is Shakespeare's Shylock.

Book excerpt: FINALIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE “Every sentence delivered. The pathos of truth-seeking left me thinking of Herman Melville." —Timothy Snyder, #1 New York Times bestselling author of On Tyranny NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING author Sarah Kendzior delves into the difference between conspiracy and conspiracy theory, "deftly separat[ing] fact from fiction in a conspiracy-addled nation" (VANITY FAIR). Conspiracy theories are on the rise because officials refuse to enforce accountability for real conspiracies. Uncritical faith in broken institutions is as dangerous as false narratives peddled by propagandists. The truth may hurt—but the lies will kill us. They Knew discusses conspiracy culture in a rapidly declining United States struggling with corruption, climate change, and other crises. As the actions of the powerful remain shrouded in mystery—“From Norman Baker to Jeffrey Epstein, Iran-Contra to January 6" (VF)—it is unsurprising that people turn to conspiracy theories to fill the informational void. They Knew exposes the tactics these powerful actors use to placate an inquisitive public. Here, for the first time, Kendzior blends her signature whip-smart prose and eviscerating arguments with lyrical and intimate examinations of the times and places that haunt American history. "America is a ghost story," writes Kendzior, as she unearths decades of buried history, providing an essential and critical look at how to rebuild our democracy by confronting the political lies and crimes that have shaped us.

Download or read book A Beautiful Mess written by Victoria A. Davenport and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever taken a moment before you are ready to make a decision and envision what the outcome might be, not only for you but for your loved ones? Do you struggle with feelings of guilt because you would rather be an instigator rather than a peacemaker? Are you attracted to being more naughty than nice? The allure of the natural world and all of its temptations can be very appealing in what it has to offer. Your future is determined by the result of choices you make now and have made in your past. It is the outcome of either choosing to be guided by the inner voice of your spirit, or decisions made based on desires the natural world lures you to act upon. Listen first to your spirit's guidance then compare it to your earthly desires. The common karmic thread always is the same-we make a choice based on either coming from a place of spirit or driven by the impulses of our flesh. The consequences result from which one we choose and are wholly responsible in making those choices---what we know as free will. It is important to truly understand what your real motives and intentions are in all decisions that you make; no matter how big or how small; they will determine your path in life. Allow your spirit to have a voice in guiding you. Remember this is not about failing or succeeding; this is about doing and being. You may try many times to connect with your spirit and think it hasn't worked or feel no difference-but it only takes that one special moment in time when you will sense it...feel it....It will happen. There is nothing so satisfying as connecting with your God Source; it is unlike anything you have ever experienced before. You will feel a physical shift within the center of your being. Once you have possessed this feeling the next time it occurs you will notice it much quicker and know instantly you are aligned with your spirit; it is undeniable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts of varying caliber have attempted through the years to write the definitive work describing the “historical Jesus” to sort out what we can and cannot know for certain about Jesus of Nazareth. This is not one of those. Knowing is difficult and certitude is probably impossible. Instead, A Life Known and Unknown seeks to both know and unknow the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith. It is an anachronistic romp through the Holy Land of the past and the science-fiction future. It is devout and sarcastic, humorous and devotional, and, in the end, faithful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set on Malta and written partly as a homage to the beat generation writers, The Death of Poetry is a taut psychological exploration of relationships and situations that entwine the characters we observe through the narration. Opening with a seemingly unsuspicious death at a facility for ‘the unhinged’, our island detective at first feels it is just a circumstantial accident; after all, many inside are damaged and alone, having dealt with their addictions and afflictions. It is when a fresh victim appears, most definitely murdered, that he begins to unravel the fragile links and faint memories of those he now must confront from his own past—one he may not have wanted to remember for himself.
