Book excerpt: Excerpt from Doctor Judas: A Portrayal of the Opium Habit Cured as by a miracle Of the dreary and heart breaking habit, the woes and sorrows of those yet under bondage have borne upon my spirit by day and by night. Searching the libraries for literature bearing upon the addiction I have been appalled at the absolute dearth of reliable information concerning the effects of the habit. The world cannot be greatly reprobated for its want of sympathy for the sufferers, since it has had no education upon the all-important subject. Mine has been the misfortune to gain all the needed facts (at a price so terrible the blood runs cold at the very thought Of what perils I endured and those I escaped), and there has been with me an ever present urgency to relate in as intelligent a manner as possible the agony Of those years in which I suffered.

Book excerpt: Reduced-updated version of the tenth book (Authorized biography...), important new data. This book is not on religions, but about whom the religious figures and many more persons were and are. Patriarchs, prophets, Buddha, Jesus, Mary, Joseph and associates, Lamas and Mohammad apologize to their followers for the millenarian fake they have been promoting. All the religious figures promote themselves through parasiting of dreams inducing in/appropriated scenes and images in the dreamer conforming to their convenience. Without this resource, they had been unable to publicise themselves. Doubts like these raised in the II Vatican Council perhaps propitiated John XXIII death. (BASIC ENGLISH).

Is it possible that the players depicted in the book of Revelation could be out in force today? And if they are, would you know how to recognize them? In Agents of the Apocalypse, noted prophecy expert Dr. David Jeremiah does what no prophecy expert has done before.

One by one, Dr. Jeremiah delves into their individual personalities and motives, and the role that each plays in biblical prophecy. Then he provides readers with the critical clues and information needed to recognize their presence and power in the world today.

Download or read book A Pig of Cold Poison written by Pat McIntosh and published by Constable. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he was watching closely when the mummer was poisoned, it took Gil Cunningham several days and three more poisonings to work out how it was done. Danny Gibson and Nanty Bothwell, rivals for the affections of Agnes Renfrew, the apothecary's pretty daughter, are also good friends. When they both take part in the festive play at the house of Gil's sister Kate, it ends in Danny's death, apparently by poison from his friend's flask. So was it deliberate, and if not, why won't Nanty defend himself? Why is Agnes's eccentric brother Nicol so insistent that Nanty had the wrong flask, and why do none of the apothecaries in Glasgow recognize the poison it held? Gil, convinced Nanty is innocent, sets out to answer these questions and finds himself enmeshed in the tensions of the Renfrew household and the tangled relationships among the apothecary houses. And then a second and third death confuse matters further still, and bring Gil's wife Alys into the investigation.

Download or read book Beware Euphoria written by George Fisher and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Fisher seeks the moral roots of America's antidrug regime and challenges claims that early antidrug laws arose from racial animus. Those moral roots trace to early Christian sexual strictures, which later influenced Puritan condemnations of drunkenness, and ultimately shaped the early American drug war. Early laws against opium dens, cocaine, and cannabis rarely rose from racial strife, but sprang from the traditional moral censure of intoxication and perceived threats to respectable white women and youth. The book closes with an examination of cannabis legalization, driven in part by the movement for racial justice.

Download or read book Histories of the Devil written by Jeremy Tambling and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about representations of the devil in English and European literature. Tracing the fascination in literature, philosophy, and theology with the irreducible presence of what may be called evil, or comedy, or the carnivalesque, this book surveys the parts played by the devil in the texts derived from the Faustus legend, looks at Marlowe and Shakespeare, Rabelais, Milton, Blake, Hoffmann, Baudelaire, Goethe, Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, and Mann, historically, speculatively, and from the standpoint of critical theory. It asks: Is there a single meaning to be assigned to the idea of the diabolical? What value lies in thinking diabolically? Is it still the definition of a good poet to be of the devil's party, as Blake argued?

Download or read book Secular Saints written by Sarah M. Misemer and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sanctification of stardom Contemporary icons are drawn from popular culture - musicians, artists, actors, and other personalities we hear on radio or see on television, on screen, in print and in cyberspace. Today's 'gods' are media personalities, and cults surround stars and artists like Frida Kahlo, Carlos Gardel, Eva Perón, and Selena. Because of transnational and global trends in importing and exporting cultural products, the paintings, music, and politics that these figures crafted accrue symbolic meaning in multiple formats. By viewing them through the lens of performance art we can begin to see how their polyvalent personas were first molded and perfected for the public through paintings, tangos, politics, and Tejano music. Once they fashioned their own complex images, these multi-layered icons continued to travel after death over international boundaries, gendered divisions, political borders, and language barriers. Their reincarnation on stage has allowed dramatists to affix and generate new associations, thus converting them into secular saints for contemporary audiences. SARAH M. MISEMER lectures in Hispanic Studies at TexasA&M University, College Station.

Download or read book The Damascus Road written by L. A. Jaworski and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judas Coon Seols is a simple family man with a strong faith in God and a new purpose as deacon of a church founded by his acquaintances, Sister Patricia and Father O’Brien. Sister Patricia is a forensic pathologist who, along with Father O’Brien, has finally determined her identity as a practicing Christian. As she carefully examines her most recent corpse tattooed with Michelangelo’s The Last Judgement, Judas looks on as both are filled with questions, especially since this is just one of many recent strange deaths. Meanwhile as two detectives begin an investigation into the murders, they are less than successful—until they stumble upon Sister Patricia’s possible involvement. While attempting to fully understand the killer’s motive, the detectives must overcome several obstacles as those involved are forced to trust not just themselves, but also their individual beliefs. Unfortunately, as they are all about to discover, people are not always who they seem. The Damascus Road chronicles a perplexing series of murders as a pathologist, church deacon, and two detectives become immersed in a battle of good versus evil.
