Book Imitation and the Image of Man

Download or read book Imitation and the Image of Man written by James S. Hans and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the "Imitation and the Image of Man" James S. Hans presents his conception of the mimetic. His primary goal to this study is to broaden several kinds of discourse: first, to redfine our conception of the literary; second, to expand our ideas of the kinds of things that can be treated together; third, to enrich our understanding of the possibilities of the form of the essay; and fourth, to articulate the need for these changes in terms of a non-linear theory of imitation.

  • ISBN : 1498293670
  • Pages : 255 pages

Download or read book The Imitation of Paul written by Willis P. DeBoer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of Christendom has heard of the imitation of Christ. Few within Christendom have heard much of the imitation of Paul. Perhaps there is nothing extraordinary about such a state of affairs. After all, Christ fills a far more significant role in Christianity than the Apostle Paul does. And yet, when one looks at the matter purely statistically, it is striking to find that the thought of the imitation of Paul comes to literal expression in the New Testament five times, while the thought of the imitation of Christ is found literally expressed only twice. -From the Introduction

Book Corrupting the Image

    Book Details:
  • Author : Douglas Hamp
  • Publisher : Defender Publishing
  • Release : 2011
  • ISBN : 9780984630059
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Corrupting the Image written by Douglas Hamp and published by Defender Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something ominous is coming upon the world: it is Satan 's final effort in the battle to destroy the image that man was created in, which has been raging since the beginning of time. If Satan can destroy the image, then he can avert his own destruction. The prophecy of Genesis 3:15 states the serpent will one day mix his seed with humanity as a counterfeit of the Messiah. Jesus told us that the last days will be like the days of Noah when fallen angels mixed their seed with humanity. In the Book of Daniel we read that "they " will again mingle with the seed of men. How so? Satan will use man 's desire to be his own god to deceive him into believing the ultimate lie - that his fallen messengers are both the creators and saviors of man. He will not do this openly but will deceive mankind through demons which are masquerading as "aliens " who are spreading the message that the inhabitants of the earth can evolve to be like them and obtain transcendent powers. Finally, the seed of the Serpent will come; he will be a man who will be greater than his fellows, who will understand sinister schemes and shall rise up and become the Antichrist. That day of fulfillment is nearly upon us!

Book Black Like You

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Strausbaugh
  • Publisher : Penguin
  • Release : 2007-08-16
  • ISBN : 1101216050
  • Pages : 388 pages

Download or read book Black Like You written by John Strausbaugh and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-08-16 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A refreshingly clearheaded and taboo-breaking look at race relations reveals that American culture is neither Black nor White nor Other, but a mix-a mongrel. Black Like You is an erudite and entertaining exploration of race relations in American popular culture. Particularly compelling is Strausbaugh's eagerness to tackle blackface-a strange, often scandalous, and now taboo entertainment. Although blackface performance came to be denounced as purely racist mockery, and shamefacedly erased from most modern accounts of American cultural history, Black Like You shows that the impact of blackface on American culture was deep and long-lasting. Its influence can be seen in rock and hiphop; in vaudeville, Broadway, and gay drag performances; in Mark Twain and "gangsta lit"; in the earliest filmstrips and the 2004 movie White Chicks; on radio and television; in advertising and product marketing; and even in the way Americans speak. Strausbaugh enlivens themes that are rarely discussed in public, let alone with such candor and vision: - American culture neither conforms to knee-jerk racism nor to knee-jerk political correctness. It is neither Black nor White nor Other, but a mix-a mongrel. - No history is best forgotten, however uncomfortable it may be to remember. The power of blackface to engender mortification and rage in Americans to this day is reason enough to examine what it tells us about our culture and ourselves. - Blackface is still alive. Its impact and descendants-including Black performers in "whiteface"-can be seen all around us today.

Book To the Image of the Trinity

Download or read book To the Image of the Trinity written by Donald Juvenal Merriell and published by PIMS. This book was released on 1990 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book's main concern is St. Thomas Aquinas' teaching about the image of the Trinity in man. Aquinas' thought on this subject developed over the years, and so it is necessary to examine carefully the passages in which he deals with the subject at length. The relevance of the subject can be viewed from two angles: in relation to the thought of St. Thomas himself, and to modern theology and contemporary concerns. The concept of the image of God is profoundly interconnected with the Christian doctrine of God and with the Christian view of man.
