Download or read book Palabras Para Rescatar written by Manuel Rodr Guez Espejo and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PA L A B R A S Q U E R E S C ATA R aporta 30 temas que pretenden hacer reflexionar al lector/a sobre otras tantas palabras que necesitan ser repensadas, porque la fe, como la vida misma, es continuo proceso de profundización. Lo más auténtico de nuestro ser no está en la superficie, ni siquiera en la inteligencia, sino en el descubrimiento de eso que llamamos "sabiduría divina", que se nos transmite en el contacto con la palabra, escuchada con el corazón y reflexionada también con un corazón sencillo, como de hijo que confía en su padre/madre. No todos los 30 capítulos tienen la misma longitud. Unos son más para ser leídos y otros, para ser trabajados. He buscado, en todos, palabras necesitadas de rescate, de actualización, palabras esenciales, como: voluntad, libertad, eucaristía, fe, perdón, Nueva Evangelización, familia, luz, oración, prueba, sufrimiento, servicio, vida cristiana, vida consagrada, acción de gracias, cuaresma, sanación, conversión, corrección fraterna, María, política y cristianismo... He tenido una doble intención: que pueda ser leído por adultos y jóvenes; y que los padres o educadores puedan usarlo con sus hijos o alumnos.

Book Concubines and Courtesans

  • Author : Matthew S. Gordon
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2017-09-26
  • ISBN : 0190622202
  • Pages : 369 pages

Download or read book Concubines and Courtesans written by Matthew S. Gordon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concubines and Courtesans contains sixteen essays that consider, from a variety of viewpoints, enslaved and freed women across medieval and pre-modern Islamic social history. The essays bring together arguments regarding slavery, gender, social networking, cultural production (songs, poetry and instrumental music), sexuality, Islamic family law, and religion in the shaping of Near Eastern and Islamic society over time. They range over nearly 1000 years of Islamic history - from the early, formative period (seventh to tenth century C.E.) to the late Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal eras (sixteenth to eighteenth century C.E.) - and regions from al-Andalus (Islamic Spain) to Central Asia (Timurid Iran). The close, common thread joining the essays is an effort to account for the lives, careers and representations of female slaves and freed women participating in, and contributing to, elite urban society of the Islamic realm. Interest in a gendered approach to Islamic history, society and religion has by now deep roots in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies. The shared aim of the essays collected here is to get at the wealth of these topics, and to underscore their centrality to a firm grasp on Islamic and Middle Eastern history.

Download or read book The Culinary Crescent written by Peter Heine and published by Gingko Library. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fertile Crescent region—the swath of land comprising a vast portion of today’s Middle East—has long been regarded as pivotal to the rise of civilization. Alongside the story of human development, innovation, and progress, there is a culinary tradition of equal richness and importance. In The Culinary Crescent: A History of Middle Eastern Cuisine, Peter Heine combines years of scholarship with a personal passion: his knowledge of the cookery traditions of the Umayyad, Abbasid, Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal courts is matched only by his love for the tastes and smells produced by the contemporary cooking of these areas today. In addition to offering a fascinating history, Heine presents more than one hundred recipes—from the modest to the extravagant—with dishes ranging from those created by the “celebrity chefs” of the bygone Mughal era, up to gastronomically complex presentations of modern times. Beautifully produced, designed for both reading and cooking, and lavishly illustrated in color throughout, The Culinary Crescent is sure to provide a delectable window in the history of food in the Middle East.

Book The New Cambridge History of Islam  Volume 2  The Western Islamic World  Eleventh to Eighteenth Centuries

Download or read book The New Cambridge History of Islam Volume 2 The Western Islamic World Eleventh to Eighteenth Centuries written by Maribel Fierro and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 of The New Cambridge History of Islam is devoted to the history of the Western Islamic lands from the political fragmentation of the eleventh century to the beginnings of European colonialism towards the end of the eighteenth century. The volume embraces a vast area from al-Andalus and North Africa to Arabia and the lands of the Ottomans. In the first four sections, scholars – all leaders in their particular fields - chart the rise and fall, and explain the political and religious developments, of the various independent ruling dynasties across the region, including famously the Almohads, the Fatimids and Mamluks, and, of course, the Ottomans. The final section of the volume explores the commonalities and continuities that united these diverse and geographically disparate communities, through in-depth analyses of state formation, conversion, taxation, scholarship and the military.

Book Hikayat Abi al Qasim

Download or read book Hikayat Abi al Qasim written by Selove Emily Selove and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hikayat Abu al-Qasim, probably written in the 11th century by the otherwise unknown al-Azdi, tells the story of a gate-crasher from Baghdad named Abu al-Qasim, who shows up uninvited at a party in Isfahan. Dressed as a holy man and reciting religious poetry, he soon relaxes his demeanour, and, growing intoxicated on wine, insults the other dinner guests and their Iranian hometown. Widely hailed as a narrative unique in the history of Arabic literature, a ikA yah also reflects a much larger tradition of banquet texts. Painting a picture of a party-crasher who is at once a holy man and a rogue, he is a figure familiar to those who have studied the ancient cynic tradition or other portrayals of wise fools, tricksters and saints in literatures from the Mediterranean and beyond. This study therefore compares a ikA yah, a mysterious text surviving in a single manuscript, to other comical banquet texts and party-crashing characters, both from contemporary Arabic literature and from Ancient Greece and Rome.

Book The True History of Tea

    Book Details:
  • Author : Erling Hoh
  • Publisher : Thames & Hudson
  • Release : 2009-03-24
  • ISBN : 0500771294
  • Pages : 397 pages

Download or read book The True History of Tea written by Erling Hoh and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2009-03-24 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and beautifully illustrated history of one of the world's favorite beverages and its uses through the ages. World-renowned sinologist Victor H. Mair teams up with journalist Erling Hoh to tell the story of this remarkable beverage and its uses, from ancient times to the present, from East to West. For the first time in a popular history of tea, the Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, and Mongolian annals have been thoroughly consulted and carefully sifted. The resulting narrative takes the reader from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the splendor of the Tang and Song Dynasties, from the tea ceremony politics of medieval Japan to the fabled tea and horse trade of Central Asia and the arrival of the first European vessels in Far Eastern waters. Through the centuries, tea has inspired artists, enhanced religious experience, played a pivotal role in the emergence of world trade, and triggered cataclysmic events that altered the course of humankind. How did green tea become the national beverage of Morocco? And who was the beautiful Emma Hart, immortalized by George Romney in his painting The Tea-maker of Edgware Road? No other drink has touched the daily lives of so many people in so many different ways. The True History of Tea brings these disparate aspects together in an entertaining tale that combines solid scholarship with an eye for the quirky, offbeat paths that tea has strayed upon during its long voyage. It celebrates the common heritage of a beverage we have all come to love, and plays a crucial part in the work of dismantling that obsolete dictum: East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.

Book La Palabra de Dios desde Mi Coraz  n a Mis Labios

Download or read book La Palabra de Dios desde Mi Coraz n a Mis Labios written by Rvdo. Canice C. Njoku C.S.Sp and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es una breve reflexión sobre las lecturas de los domingos y las solemnidades del calendario litíorgico de las iglesias, año A. Con el fin de no hacerlo sólo "una mera homilía semanal," sino un libro completo para todos los tiempos, el enfoque temático se ha empleado para cada homilía. Sin embargo, estos temas no son exhaustivos. Más bien, simplemente están destinados a ayudarnos a tener una idea de lo que podría ser el mensaje central de cada celebración. Se han empleado breves historias, otros pasajes bíblicos, citas, refranes populares e incluso experiencias de vida personal para hacer el mensaje más claro y comprensible para todos. Sobre todo, he tratado de mantenerlo corto y simple. Sin embargo, se ha tenido mucho cuidado al hacer esto teniendo en cuenta las reglas de una buena interpretación bíblica, sin menospreciar el significado y el mensaje de las lecturas individuales. Por lo tanto, este libro sigue el enfoque de catequesis y exegético. Algunos comentarios de unos lectores desde: https://wordpress.com/coments/all/frcanice.com Padre, tus reflexiones son breves, inspiradoras y desafiantes. Sigues ayudándonos. - P. Karoli Lwanga, Kisii Diocese, Kenya Muchas gracias Padre Canice por sus ricas homilías. Me ayuda a preparar mis sermones semanales. Dios los bendiga, y mantenga el espíritu de Cor unum. "" P. Aurelian Tumaini C.S.Sp Padre, eres grande y maravilloso. Tus reflexiones están muy inspiradas. Por favor, sigues así. El Señor es tu fuerza. Muchas gracias. "" P Samson Ofuonye - Police Chaplain Benin City. Padre, quiero agradecerte mucho por tus maravillosas, articuladas, bien investigadas y organizadas homilías. Son concisas y directas al grano. Que dios te bendiga. - Izuu Iloka Muchas gracias por sus reflexiones Padre Canice, mi hermano. Que Dios te sigue bendiciendo y manteniendo firme en su misión. Amén. ¡Feliz domingo! "" P. Odaudu Matthias C.S.Sp P. Canice, qué pensamiento tan inspirador compartes cada semana! He estado visitando su página desde mis días de estudiante, y el sabor no ha disminuido. Sigues así, tío me inspiras. - P. Jude Hola P. Canice, permítame apreciarle por las maravillosas reflexiones que ha sido ofreciendo al mundo. Realmente lo disfruto, y me ayuda para preparar mis sermones. ¡Padre Bravo! Dios te bendiga abundantemente. - P. Tizhe from Maiduguri, Nigeria. Padre, su sitio web nos hace las cosas fáciles, ya que presenta una rica fuente de buenas homilías. Gracias, y que Dios te ayude a seguir así. - Okenyi, Emmanuel Chidobe.

Book O ye Gentlemen  Arabic Studies on Science and Literary Culture

Download or read book O ye Gentlemen Arabic Studies on Science and Literary Culture written by Arnoud Vrolijk and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O ye Gentlemen explores two vital strands in Arabic culture: the Greek tradition in science and philosophy and the literary tradition. They are permanent and, though drawing on Islam as a dominant religion, they are by no means dependent on it. That the strands freely interweave within the broader scope of Schrifttum is shown by more than thirty essays on subjects as varied as the social organisation of bees, spontaneous generation in the Shiʿite tradition, astronomy in the Arabian nights, the benefits of sex, precious stones in a literary text, the virtue of women in Judaeo-Arabic stories, animals in Middle Eastern music and the transmission of Arabic science and philosophy to the medieval West.
