Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Norwegian painter, novelist, and social critic Christian Krohg (1852–1925) is best known for creating highly political paintings of workers, prostitutes, and Skagen fishermen of the 1880s and for serving as a mentor to Edvard Munch. One of the Nordic countries’ most avant-garde naturalist artists, Krohg was influenced by French thinkers such as Émile Zola, Claude Bernard, and Hippolyte Taine, and he shocked the provincial sensibilities of his time. His work reached beyond the art world when his book Albertine and its related paintings were banned upon publication. Telling the story of a young seamstress who turns to a life of prostitution, it galvanized support for outlawing prostitution in Norway—but Krohg was also punished for the work’s sexual content. Examining the theories of Krohg and his fellow naturalists and their reception in Scandinavian intellectual circles, Øystein Sjåstad places Krohg in an international perspective and reveals his striking contribution to European naturalism. In the process, Christian Krohg’s Naturalism provides an unparalleled account of Krohg’s art.

Book excerpt: Ecological crisis is being widely discussed in society today and therefore, the subject of religious naturalism has emerged as a major topic in religion.

Comprising thirty-four chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into seven parts: • Varieties of religious naturalism and its relations to other outlooks • Some earlier religious naturalists • Pantheism, materialism, and the value-ladenness of nature • Ecology, humans, and politics in naturalistic perspective • Religious naturalism and traditional religions • Putting religious naturalism into practice • Critical discussions of religious naturalism. Within these sections central issues, debates, and problems are examined, including: defining religious naturalism; religious underpinnings of ecology; natural piety; the religious-aesthetic; ecstatic naturalism as deep pantheism; spiritual ecology; African-American religious naturalism; Christian religious naturalism; Dao and water; Confucianism; environmental action; and practices in religious naturalism. The Routledge Handbook of Religious Naturalism is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies, theology, and philosophy.

Download or read book Mapping Impressionist Painting in Transnational Contexts written by Emily C. Burns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers microhistories related to the transnational circulations of impressionism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The contributors rethink the role of "French" impressionism in shaping these iterations by placing France within its global and imperialist context and arguing that impressionisms might be framed through the mobility studies’ concept of "constellations of mobility." Artists engaging with impressionism in France, as in other global contexts, relied on, responded to, appropriated, and resisted elements of form and content based on fluid and interconnected political realities and market structures. Written by scholars and curators, the chapters demand reconsideration of impressionism as a historical construct and the meanings assigned to that term. This project frames future discussion in art history, cultural studies, and global studies on the politics of appropriating impressionism.

Download or read book The God of Covenant and Creation written by Larry S. Chapp and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-05-19 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry Chapp develops a true "theology of nature" that begins and ends with strictly confessional Christian warrants. He begins by showing how modern naturalism arose out of a theological matrix and how it lost its way specifically as naturalism as soon as it rejected that theological matrix. Indeed, modern naturalism is not so much a-theological as it is a rival theology to that of the Church. All claims of ultimacy, including those of natural science, have inherently theological orientations embedded within them - however unconsciously. Therefore, what confronts us in the modern world is not so much a choice between a non-theological naturalism and a theological naturalism. Rather, what confronts us is a choice between two rival theologies - one agnostic and a-theistic in its implications while the other is revelocentric and Christian.

Download or read book So Much Longing in So Little Space written by Karl Ove Knausgaard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and personal examination by sensational and bestselling author Karl Ove Knausgaard of his Norwegian compatriot Edvard Munch, the famed artist best known for his iconic painting The Scream In So Much Longing in So Little Space, Karl Ove Knausgaard sets out to understand the enduring and awesome power of Edvard Munch’s work by training his gaze on the landscapes that inspired Munch and speaking firsthand with other contemporary artists, including Anselm Kiefer, for whom Munch’s legacy looms large. Bringing together art history, biography, and memoir, Knausgaard tells a passionate, freewheeling, and pensive story about not just one of history’s most significant painters, but the very meaning of choosing the artist’s life, as he himself has done. Including reproductions of some of Munch’s most emotionally and psychologically intense works, chosen by Knausgaard, this utterly original and ardent work of criticism will delight and educate both experts and novices of literature and the visual arts alike.
Download or read book Christian Naturalism written by Karl E. Peters and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to believe that our life in this world is all there is and be Christian? Karl Peters says yes. We can think about God as the creativity of the world. About our life as beginning when we were hydrogen atoms, so that everything is family. About how the evils of sexism, racism, and speciesism (climate change) arose in human history. Peters says that Jesus is fully human. His mother, Mary, was raped by a Roman soldier. And he is savior by being an inspiring moral example of how we should live—loving God completely and our neighbor as ourselves. Through evolution we are related to everything else. Therefore, we should love as family all varieties of humans, other species, and the planet itself.
Download or read book A Christian s Introduction to Naturalism written by Ward Crocker and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The rise of naturalism in the last decade provides a strong call for Christians to be prepared for engaging this worldview. Opposed to all things religious, the influence of naturalism threatens the fabric of the Christian faith. Unfortunately, most Christians are wholly unprepared to confront the challenge brought by this worldview. The New Atheists enjoy significant influence in Western culture through many books that promote naturalism. Naturalism is the widespread philosophy underlying most science departments on secular campuses. Additionally, many of the Hollywood elite tout naturalism to their viewers. This thesis-project was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of church laity to address naturalism through three main means: church attendance, a guided self-study of naturalism, and the four-week seminar on naturalism. The effectiveness of each was measured through a comprehensive questionnaire. The results of this questionnaire revealed that reliance upon traditional church attendance does not adequately prepare the Christian to effectively address naturalism. However, a guided self-study proved to be very beneficial and a formal seminar even more so in helping Christian laity understand and discuss naturalism. This thesis-project is designed to equip Christian laity with the necessary tools to confront naturalism by teaching a seminar at the local church level covering key elements of this worldview.

Download or read book Edvard Munch written by Louise Lippincott and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1989-03-23 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch painted his Starry Night in 1893, and a century later it continues to intrigue and even mystify viewers. The subject and emotional content of the painting are powerfully felt and yet difficult to define with precision, and its style seems strangely far removed from the Impressionist and Realist paintings of the artist’s contemporaries. In her fascinating study, Louise Lippincott explores the genesis of this great painting, placing it in the context of Scandinavian art of the late nineteenth century and Munch’s own development as an artist. Her generously illustrated and detailed analysis provides a clear understanding of this haunting masterpiece, which is one of the most popular paintings in the J. Paul Getty Museum.
Download or read book The Naturalist and the Christ written by Tim Heaton and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This five-part Lent course draws on the life, work and religious struggles of Charles Darwin as depicted in the 2009 film 'Creation', a film based on the book 'Annie's Box' by Darwin's great-great-grandson Randal Keynes. This compelling and accessible Lent course looks at questions of great importance to all Christians. Can God and evolution co-exist? Why did the Victorian Church find it so hard to accept Darwin's theory? Why do some Christians today find it difficult? What implications does evolution have for the Church and her doctrine? What is the authority or 'reliability' of scripture? To what extent were Darwin's own Christian beliefs shaped by the theology of his day, and how did this lead to his loss of faith after the death of his daughter Annie in 1851? Where is God in all the suffering of his creation? This innovative and interactive Lent course, which is written for Christians of all denominations and could easily be undertaken by an ecumenical group comprising different traditions, addresses these questions with clarity and depth of understanding in a proven and highly successful format.
