Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Einhorn blends absurdist humor with philosophy in these critically acclaimed plays about legendary Jewish figures. Golem Stories retells an old Kabalistic legend. It's a ghost story and a love story, about a childlike clay man who may be a demon inside. In The Living Methuselah, the oldest living man survives every disaster is human history, with the help of his wife Serach, the oldest living woman. But when a doctor tells him he will only live until the end of the play, will this be his final curtain? To find the title character of A Shylock, Jacob Levy interrogates every character in The Merchant of Venice, but oddly Hamlet may know the most-although this Hamlet is a woman. And in One-Eyed Moses and the Churning Red Sea, Rabbi Tzipporah Finestein dreams Moses is a pirate captain, but what do the dreams mean? Two congregants hold the key.

Download or read book The Gift of Sublimation written by Nathan Carlin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is not, and never was, a monolithic masculinity; there are, and always have been, multiple masculinities. Today diversity with regard to gender and sexuality is beginning to be recognized and celebrated even while many religious denominations still resist these cultural changes. This book offers pastoral interpretations of these social shifts in light of psychological principles, applying them to topics such as the moral disapproval of masturbation; the efforts of some churches to convince homosexual men to adopt a heterosexual orientation; the dynamics of male envy of female longevity; the homosexual tendencies of King James of England and Scotland; and biblical portraits of God's body, gender, and sexuality. The authors make a special use of the psychoanalytic concept of sublimation--that is, the redirection of sexual desires that are considered unacceptable or unworthy toward interests and aspirations that are considered acceptable and worthy. While the use of psychoanalytic hermeneutics here is likely to raise various red flags for potential religious readers (especially for those who have been informed that Sigmund Freud was hostile toward religion), this book presents a rather different Freud by focusing on religious sublimation.

Download or read book Call Me Methuselah written by R.G. Hendrickson and published by JMS Books LLC. This book was released on 2021-11-27 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since humanity’s first steps in the Stone Age, Methuselah has harbored an ancient secret. Cursed by the shaman to witness the end of days, he searches in vain for a home, place to place, clan to clan, yearning to belong. First in prehistoric Africa and lately disillusioned with love for a hundred years in the New World, he learns all too well to guard his heart and hide his story. That changes when a car crash lands him in the hospital with a fractured skull. Doctors discover strange stem cells in his blood, promising cures and a fountain of youth. Methuselah faces choices of life and death. Forced on the run again, he comforts himself by reliving a happier time, when he and Arrow, his first love, raft across the paleo-lake Makgadikgadi, which rested in those days on the vast Kalahari. In their age-old journey, the cavemen lovers find a place to call home and learn what it means to belong. While Arrow’s enlightened sensibilities get the two of them in trouble and challenge Methuselah’s judgment, their adventures in an untamed world bring them together. When Methuselah’s enduring youth reveals itself through the passing seasons, he and Arrow bravely face a dire reality. From the distant past that lives inside Methuselah, Arrow’s spirit reaches out, providing guidance for our threatened times. He gives Methuselah the strength to do the right thing and the courage to live his true self in the modern world. Arrow’s memory opens Methuselah’s heart and renews for him a hope of redemption in the arms of a caring man today. If only Methuselah permits himself to love once more.

Download or read book Methuselah s Daughter written by John Eddy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zsallia Marieko is a solitary immortal, very much the pagan barbarian at heart, but tempered by her centuries amongst a growing Christian influence in Western Europe. Her tale is by turns pathetic, endearing, unnerving and horrifying as the reader witnesses her climb from nameless slave to terrifying goddess, then her plunge into murderous insanity until she emerges humbled and remade- all this in just her first 1500 years. Concomitant with that tale is the modern narrative where Zsallia is forced to confront what it means to cease living outside society and join the world around her, to take up the benefits and responsibilities of living openly and asking people to simply accept who and what she is.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Editors' Choice and Notable Book of 2021 "Best Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror of 2021"—The Washington Post From one of the most exciting voices in contemporary Chinese literature, an uncanny and playful novel that blurs the line between human and beast… In the fictional Chinese city of Yong’an, an amateur cryptozoologist is commissioned to uncover the stories of its fabled beasts. These creatures live alongside humans in near-inconspicuousness—save their greenish skin, serrated earlobes, and strange birthmarks. Aided by her elusive former professor and his enigmatic assistant, our narrator sets off to document each beast, and is slowly drawn deeper into a mystery that threatens her very sense of self. Part detective story, part metaphysical enquiry, Strange Beasts of China engages existential questions of identity, humanity, love and morality with whimsy and stylistic verve.
Download or read book The Shekinah Road written by Roberta Bedell Bausum and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-04-23 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achva was astounded at the request he had heard. He, the quiet, unassuming star-gazer was to go on a mission for the great Adam. Achva knew all of the stories of his heritage. He knew that Adam and Eve had been the first people placed on this earth by God the Father. He had been carefully taught about the sin committed in the Garden and the wily way that the Evil one could deceive. He remembered that when Cain had killed his brother, Abel, then the sacred line was passed through Seth. He knew all of the stories: Cain and his wicked city; Aluma who had escaped; Tubal-Cain his own ancestor and the valiant Shalomshamars. But now here was the father of all man-kind sending him, a nobody, to the great city of Ur. He had only heard about Ur and had certainly never been there. Ur was hundreds of miles away. How in the world could he get there, and how could he possibly fulfill his mission? “Bring Enoch home,” Adam had ordered. Just as simply as if he were asking nothing harder than bringing a fish from the market. Achva shook his head in wonder. Somehow he had found himself agreeing to this impossible and probably very dangerous mission. His thoughts ran wildly through his head. How could he have refused the Patriarch? How could he look into the depth of those eyes that had looked upon this world for over 600 years and say “no”. Of course he couldn’t refuse, but what in the world had he gotten himself into?

His grandparents brought him up because he became an orphan at twelve years old. Methuselah grew up as an orphan but was determined to seek revenge. Chief Muyabwo gave his parents a death sentence after they had been accused of bewitching one of the villager’s daughters, Sarah. The accusations were unjustified and could not be conclusive.

Anyone who knew Chief Muyabwo was aware of his cruelty and poor treatment of villagers. He was quite a powerful person with his own police, and he had the right to make his own judgments about villagers. He had been given the powers by the government. He was paid by the government for doing the job, but the government did not realize that he had taken the law into his hands. Methuselah believed in getting revenge for what had happened to his parents. It took him a long time, but in the end he did it.
