Download or read book The 2018 Book written by Eskild Rasmussen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 3rd world war. According to the author it's breakout will inevitably (for reasons explained in the book) be in one of these years: 2018, 2019 or 2020. In order to be on the safe side, this astrology textbook containing predictions about the 3rd world war was written and published in 2017. And since 2018 is the year closest to 2017 the focus is on 2018 in particular. The first chapter is similar to any other astrological yearbook with diagrams of aspects and catalogues of lucky and unlucky days. 2018 is apparently going to be a happy and prosperous year. There seems to be no indication of disaster. But what if the astrological techniques used in the first chapter are insufficient? The second chapter presents the reader with prophecies made about the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd world war. What are the options that 2018 will be the year, in which the 3rd world war breaks out from an astrological point of view? In order to give the reader a fair chance to answer this question a third chapter was added.

Download or read book Invented Religions written by Carole M. Cusack and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing contemporary scholarship on secularization, individualism, and consumer capitalism, this book explores religious movements founded in the West which are intentionally fictional: Discordianism, the Church of All Worlds, the Church of the SubGenius, and Jediism. Their continued appeal and success, principally in America but gaining wider audience through the 1980s and 1990s, is chiefly as a result of underground publishing and the internet. This book deals with immensely popular subject matter: Jediism developed from George Lucas' Star Wars films; the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, founded by 26-year-old student Bobby Henderson in 2005 as a protest against the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools; Discordianism and the Church of the SubGenius which retain strong followings and participation rates among college students. The Church of All Worlds' focus on Gaia theology and environmental issues makes it a popular focus of attention. The continued success of these groups of Invented Religions provide a unique opportunity to explore the nature of late/post-modern religious forms, including the use of fiction as part of a bricolage for spirituality, identity-formation, and personal orientation.
Download or read book Time and Space in Ancient Myth Religion and Culture written by SNF-Projekt and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Homer to Sophocles and Greek Middle Comedy, and from Plato and Protagoras to Ovid, this volume features a panoramic and cross-generic overview of the diverse handling and ad hoc elaboration of the overarching literary notions of "time" and "space". The twenty-one contributions of this volume written by an international group of esteemed scholars provide an equal number of hermeneutic approaches to individual, distinct aspects of Greek and Latin literature. The volume is purposely designed not as a linear display of knowledge, but rather as an anthology of select paradigms that aim to demonstrate the multidimensional function and multifaceted role of the twin notions of "time" and "space" throughout ancient Greek and Latin literary texts. The volume opens with analyses of conspicuous cases from epic poetry, proceeds with examples from drama (tragedy and comedy), and concludes with diverse instances of chronotopes (empirical, imaginary, and even shifting ones), in various literary genres. The volume is of greatest relevance since it meets the cultural and theoretical trends of today’s Classics. It therefore will attract not only the interest of specialised Classicists but it is also intended for a wider general readership.
Download or read book Philosophy written by Johnson Charles and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-07-09 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book features a unique, engaging approach to introduce students to philosophy. It combines traditional readings and exercises with fictive narratives starring central figures in the history of the field from Plato to Martin Luther King, Jr. The book makes innovative use of compelling short stories from two writers who have prominently combined philosophy and fiction in their work. These narratives illuminate pivotal aspects of the carefully selected classic readings that follow. This gives students two ways to understand the philosophical positions; through indirect argument in fiction and through direct, deductive presentations. Study questions and writing exercises accompany each set of readings and help students grasp the material and create their own arguments.
