Download or read book Five Biblical Portraits written by Elie Wiesel and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Peace Prize–winner Elie Wiesel brings ancient religious leaders to literary life, framing his commentary with pressing and enduring questions as a survivor and witness to the Holocaust. Five Biblical Portraits represents an old-new approach to Jewish textual commentary. This sequel to Elie Wiesel’s Messengers of God continues the work done in that volume of bringing religious figures to life and studying their place both in the text and in our lives. Wiesel reflects on his own life as well as the tragedy of the Holocaust as he discusses each figure and adds personal framing and insight into the religious study. Through sensitive readings of the scriptures as well as the Talmudic and Hasidic sources, Wiesel illuminates Joshua, Elijah, Saul, Jeremiah, and Jonah. He seeks not simple answers but fully complex responses to the crucial questions of human suffering as he examines each religious figure in turn. Originally published in 1981, this new edition of Five Biblical Portraits includes a new text design, cover, and an introduction by Ariel Burger, which examines how Wiesel’s post-Holocaust Midrash teaches us not only how to read the Bible but also how to read the world.
Download or read book Corporate Portraits written by Bryan Williams and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CORPORATE PORTRAITS The Bible is a picture book. (After all, it originated in the Near East!) Think of the dramatic word pictures in Psalms, Job, and the historical and prophetic books. Then there is the treasure trove of the unforgettable parables of Jesus, the adventures recorded in Acts and the Epistles, and the climactic panorama of the Book of Revelation. In the latter, we find the incomparable throne room scene of chapters 4 and 5 and the vivid descriptions of the New Jerusalem in chapters 21 and 22! Based squarely on the Scriptures, CORPORATE PORTRAITS is a picture book, too. The main part of it, VIEW, consists of pictures of the Church from a variety of perspectives. PREVIEW and GOSPEL VIEW are self-explanatory. The pattern of my earlier book, GLIMPSES OF GRACE, is that of a "painting", mostly based on an allegory. That book consists of a hundred "brushstrokes", each conveying an aspect of the character of a Christian. CORPORATE PORTRAITS follows on from that. I am using the adjective "corporate" in our title generally in the sense of all true people of God. FOCUS: My object in writing CORPORATE PORTRAITS is to inform and challenge both the non-Christian and the Christian, and to encourage the Christian. Please read thoughtfully, looking up the texts given, and reflecting on them. The Bible clearly states that the Holy Spirit was the Primary Author of the whole of Scripture (2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). He used the personalities, the histories, and the circumstances of the human writers in a creative way so that what they wrote, they wrote, but what HE wanted written was written. This book will encourage and inspire you.

Book excerpt: What does the Bible say? Fifty Biblical Portraits answers this question through a series of meditative studies of some of the central characters of the Old Testament. From Adam and Eve to Abraham and Moses, from Samson and Samuel to Job and Judith, Paul Beauchamp, S.J., presents, through the translation of Peter Rogers, S.J., fifty brief yet patient reflections on the stories of these and other figures whose lives helped shape the history of biblical Israel. Accompanied by the drawings of Pierre Grassignoux, which are themselves renditions of art works of these figures, each meditation or reflection is a portrait in word and image. Fifty Biblical Portraits is thus a unique way to enter into and reflect upon the rich life and history that is the life and history of biblical Israel.

Download or read book Jesus and John Wayne How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation written by Kristin Kobes Du Mez and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The “paradigm-influencing” book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism—or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.” As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today’s evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they’ve read John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex—and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes—mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of “Christian America.” Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals’ most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.

Download or read book One Hundred Portraits written by Barry Moser and published by . This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barry Moser is generally and justly regarded as the most important book artist of the past quarter-century, a tradition begun in this country by N.C. Wyeth, extended by Rockwell Kent, and furthered by artists as diverse as Jim Dine and Leonard Baskin. Moser's watercolors, woodcuts, and wood engravings have informed and adorned more than a hundred books, many of them central to the English-speaking canon, by writers such as Melville, Shelley, Welty, and Twain. In all his efforts, it is his preoccupation with the character of the creator that is manifest and dominant. Here, in a selection of one hundred portraits, fifty of them created especially for this book, we see the full range of his genius in portrayals of writers (Dante, Dickens, O'Connor, Willard, Oates), musicians and composers (Chopin, Handel, Wagner), artists (Whistler, Rembrandt, Shahn), and even politicians (Lincoln, King, Webster).

Together, they cover the complete Biblical spectrum of references to Jesus." --|cFrom dust jacket front flap.
