Download or read book Jesus and the Manuscripts written by Craig A. Evans and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus and the Manuscripts, by popular author and Bible scholar Craig A. Evans, introduces readers to the diversity and complexity of the ancient literature that records the words and deeds of Jesus. This diverse literature includes the familiar Gospels of the New Testament, the much less familiar literature of the Rabbis and of the Qur’an, and the extracanonical narratives and brief snippets of material found in fragments and inscriptions. This book critically analyzes important texts and quotations in their original languages and engages the current scholarly discussion. Evans argues that the Gospel of Thomas is not early or independent of the New Testament Gospels but that it should be dated to the late second century. He also argues that Secret Mark, like the recently published Gospel of Jesus’ Wife, is probably a modern forgery. Of special interest is the question of how long the autographs of New Testament writings remained in circulation. Evans argues that the evidence suggests that most of these autographs remained available for copying and study for more than one hundred years and thus stabilized the text. Key points and features: Written by popular author and Bible scholar Craig A. Evans Includes 20+ pages of high-quality color photos Walks readers through the various works of ancient literature, both biblical and non-biblical, that mention Jesus Critically analyzes important texts and quotations in their original languages and engages the current scholarly discussion

Then Danny meets Thomas Galvin, the father of his daughter's new best friend and one of the wealthiest men in Boston. Out of the blue Galvin offers a loan to help Danny out. Desperate, he takes the money, promising to pay it back. But the moment the money is wired into his account, the DEA comes knocking. Danny’s impossible choice: an indictment for accepting drug money, or a treacherous assignment to help the government get close to his new best friend. As Danny begins to lie to everyone in his life, including those he loves most, he must decide once and for all who the real enemy is or risk losing everything—and everyone—that matters to him.
Download or read book Childhood written by Shannon Burns and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things may have been good for a while, but it didn’t last: they argued fiercely and he left. Weeks later, she tracked him down and said she was pregnant. So he moved back in with her and they prepared themselves for parenthood. Eleven months later I was born. By the time my father discovered the deception, it was too late. In this arresting memoir, Shannon Burns recalls a childhood spent bouncing between dysfunctional homes in impoverished suburbs, between families unwilling or unable to care for him. Aged nine, he beats his head against the pillow to get himself to sleep. Aged ten, he knows his mother will never be able to look after him: he is alone, and can trust no-one. Five years later, he is working in a recycling centre —hard labour, poorly paid—yet reading offers hope. He begins reciting lines from Greek lyric poets, Keats, Whitman, speeches by Martin Luther King, while sifting through the filthy cans and bottles. An affair with the mother of a schoolfriend eventually offers a way out, a path to a life utterly unlike the one he was born into. Shannon Burns is a writer, critic and academic from Adelaide. His work has appeared in the Monthly, Meanjin, Australian Book Review and the Sydney Review of Books. ‘Childhood reads like Gorky and Tolstoy—not nudging but shoving the reader headfirst towards hard-won epiphanies with a brutal yet transcendent urgency.’ Alice Pung 'Childhood is about more than reliving trauma—it shows us how literature can offer a pathway to survival, if not redemption. Shannon Burns demonstrates how to soldier on when all hope and dignity are lost.’ Tyson Yunkaporta
Download or read book Children in Early Christian Narratives written by Sharon Betsworth and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharon Betsworth examines the narratives, parables, and teachings of and about children in the gospels and the literature of Early Christianity. Betsworth begins with a discussion of the social-historical context of children and childhood in the first century before discussing the role of children in all four gospels. She shows that for Mark and Matthew, children are integral to understanding each evangelist's perspective on the reign of God and on Jesus' identity in each Gospel. In the Gospel of Luke the childhood of Jesus is shown to be crucial to the broader themes of the Gospel. In the Gospel of John, Betsworth examines the metaphorical use of the word 'children' looking at 'children of light' and of 'darkness'. She then explores stories of Jesus' childhood in the non-canonical Infancy Gospels of James and Thomas, as well as the childhood of his mother, Mary in the latter shedding light upon views of children, discipleship, and the person of Jesus in early christianity and in the ancient world more generally.

Download or read book Escaping Shame Mary s Dilemma and the Birthplace of Jesus written by N. Clayton Croy and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only narratives of Jesus’ birth locate the event in Bethlehem, but the adult Jesus is consistently associated with Nazareth. How do we reconcile these two indisputable facts? Some dismiss Bethlehem as a theologoumenon, a theological fabrication. Others insist on Bethlehem based on the census of Quirinius. In the present volume, N. Clayton Croy argues that both are wrong. Instead Jesus’ birthplace was determined by the scandalous nature of Mary’s pregnancy, with it being necessary for Mary and Joseph to escape the inevitable shame of an ill-timed conception and decamp to a less hostile environment. In this light, a Bethlehem-born Jesus who grew up in Nazareth should never have been considered problematic.

Download or read book The Silent Knight written by Elizabeth Lev and published by Sophia. This book was released on 2021 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throw yourself into the strong arms of the father! In this glorious full-color book, art historian Elizabeth Lev showcases St. Joseph's multifaceted qualities, elucidated by exceptional saints and represented by art's most creative geniuses. Describing St. Joseph as the "extraordinary man who embodies the power of silence and yet still speaks to the hearts of all who turn to him," Lev juxtaposes his contemplative depictions with representations of his active life, affirming that he is not only a dreamer but a "man of action." Sure to become a cultural talking point, this lavishly illustrated book features captivating images of St. Joseph by Raphael, Michelangelo, Murillo, Giotto, Caravaggio, El Greco, and more. Let Lev take you on a journey to gaze upon the art of St. Joseph from all over the world, including fifth-century Rome, where St. Joseph was first depicted in mosaics in the Basilica of St, Mary Major. In the past, St. Joseph came to the aid of a Church mired in corruption. Lev reflects, "St. Joseph returned in the Age of Chivalry, riding in like a shining, albeit silent, knight, ready to serve and to defend the Church, his damsel in distress." St. Joseph stands no less ready to serve the faithful today, as we navigate the difficult shoals of the modern era. This book illustrates the many faces of St. Joseph and his miraculous intercessions that brought unity in times of division. "The Old Testament Joseph distributed bread in times of famine, and the New Testament Joseph brings to Egypt Jesus, who is, in the words of Pope Leo, 'the Bread of Life and the Food of reason that came down from heaven,'" Lev explains. For years, people have contemplated artistic depictions of St. Joseph in their homes and consecrated themselves to him. St. Josemaría Escrivá exhorted the faithful to "throw yourself into the strong arms of the father." Discover how St. Joseph is our most powerful intercessor, along with the Blessed Mother. Go to St. Joseph. Behold and listen to him! Book jacket.

Download or read book Imagined Battles written by Peter Paret and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 1997 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, art has interpreted the experience of war_its methods, human costs, and moral ambiguities_and has offered historians a wealth of testimony that is only beginning to be systematically explored. In this wide-ranging study, Peter Paret discusses forty-seven paintings and prints as complex documents of war in Europe since the Renaissance and as examples of the artist's use of war as a metaphor for the human condition. The images include works by such major artists as Uccello, Géricault, and Dix as well as academic history paintings and popular prints. By setting each in its historical environment and analyzing it from the perspective of the wars of its time, illuminates the place of war in Western consciousness and expands our understanding of works that are too often approached with little concern for the reality they depict or symbolically transform. Perhaps the most significant of the themes he traces over five centuries is the gradual change from the prince or general to the common soldier and civilian victim as central figures in the interpretation of war in art.
