Download or read book Disputing the Deluge written by Darko Suvin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featured on the 2021 Locus Recommended Reading List For over 50 years, Darko Suvin has set the agenda for science fiction studies through his innovative linking of scifi to utopian studies, formalist and leftist critical theory, and his broader engagement with what he terms "political epistemology." Disputing the Deluge joins a rapidly growing renewal of critical interest in Suvin's work on scifi and utopianism by bringing together in a single volume 24 of Suvin's most significant interventions in the field from the 21st century, with an Introduction by editor Hugh O'Connell and a new preface by the author. Beginning with writings from the early 2000s that investigate the function of literary genres and reconsider the relationship between science fiction and fantasy, the essays collected here--each a brilliant example of engaged thought--highlight the value of scifi for grappling with the key events and transformations of recent years. Suvin's interrogations show how speculative fiction has responded to 9/11, the global war on terror, the 2008 economic collapse, and the rise of conservative populism, along with contemporary critical utopian analyses of the Capitalocene, the climate crisis, COVID-19, and the decline of democracy. By bringing together Suvin's essays all in one place, this collection allows new generations of students and scholars to engage directly with his work and its continuing importance and timeliness.

Download or read book Three Days Before the Sun written by Warren LeRoi Johns and published by [email protected]. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Days Before the Sun explores our origin, purpose and destiny in an eternity of time and an infinity of space! The "holes" and "flaws" acknowledged by Darwin in his evolution theory are precisely targeted with academic precision in a format designed for the general public. The scrupulously documented title dismantles the chance hypothesis, point-by-point, as a lawyer presents evidence to a jury. The 296-page, illustrated title comes salted with homey colloquialisms, methodically exposing unproven assumptions. But more than an exposé of flawed conjecture masquerading as science. Three Days Before the Sun offers a generic Christian glimpse of the raging origins controversy. The book compliments the faith of Christian communities who believe the Genesis account of the creation miracle while asserting the Creator of the universe is the Author of science.

Download or read book Three Angels One Message written by John T. Anderson and published by Review and Herald Pub Assoc. This book was released on 2012 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now would be a good time to remember the angels' instructions. The Three Angels' Message comprise only seven of Revelation's 404 verses--a tiny percentage of what John the revelator recorded. Yet as God's final warning to a world enamored with sin, these cryptic messages are highly significant. What exactly is God warning the world about, though? And how is this warning relevant to you, considering what is currently happening in our world? If it's so important, why isn't this portion of Scripture as well known as the Ten Commandments or the golden rule? Within these pages John Anderson examines individual words and phrases to decipher clues embedded in the original language, and searches the Bible for the context in which each word is used. His careful investigation uncovers the veiled meaning of these messages by comparing scripture with scripture--and reveals just how urgent God's warning is to every human on this planet today.

Download or read book Kierkegaard Language and the Reality of God written by Steven Shakespeare and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001: Debate about the reality of God risks becoming an arid stalemate. An unbridgeable gulf seems to be fixed between realists, arguing that God exists independently of our language and beliefs, and anti-realists for whom God-language functions to express human spiritual ideals, with no reference to a reality external to the faith of the believer. Soren Kierkegaard has been enlisted as an ally by both sides of this debate. Kierkegaard, Language and the Reality of God presents a new approach, exploring the dynamic nature of Kierkegaard's texts and the way they undermine neat divisions between realism and anti-realism, objectivity and subjectivity. Showing that Kierkegaard's understanding of language is crucial to his practice of communication, and his account of the paradoxes inherent in religious discourse, Shakespeare argues that Kierkegaard advances a form of 'ethical realism' in which the otherness of God is met in the making of liberating signs. Not only are new perspectives opened on Kierkegaard's texts, but his own contribution to ongoing debates is affirmed in its vital, creative and challenging significance.

Download or read book The Natural Genesis written by Gerald Massey and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egyptologist Gerald Massey challenged readers in A Book of the Beginnings to consider the argument that Egypt was the birthplace of civilization and that the widespread monotheistic vision of man and the metaphysical was, in fact, based on ancient Egyptian mythos. In The Natural Genesis, Massey delivers a sequel, delving deeper into his compelling polemic. Volume II provides detailed discourse on the Egyptian origin of the delicate components of the monotheistic creed. With his agile prose, Massey leads an adventurous examination of the epistemology of astronomy, time, and Christology-and what it all means for human culture. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World.
