Download or read book Brother Jesus written by Schalom Ben-Chorin and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of American history know of the law's critical role in systematizing a racial hierarchy in the United States. Showing that this history is best appreciated in a comparative perspective, The Long, Lingering Shadow looks at the parallel legal histories of race relations in the United States, Brazil, and Spanish America. Robert J. Cottrol takes the reader on a journey from the origins of New World slavery in colonial Latin America to current debates and litigation over affirmative action in Brazil and the United States, as well as contemporary struggles against racial discrimination and Afro-Latin invisibility in the Spanish-speaking nations of the hemisphere. Ranging across such topics as slavery, emancipation, scientific racism, immigration policies, racial classifications, and legal processes, Cottrol unravels a complex odyssey. By the eve of the Civil War, the U.S. slave system was rooted in a legal and cultural foundation of racial exclusion unmatched in the Western Hemisphere. That system's legacy was later echoed in Jim Crow, the practice of legally mandated segregation. Jim Crow in turn caused leading Latin Americans to regard their nations as models of racial equality because their laws did not mandate racial discrimination-- a belief that masked very real patterns of racism throughout the Americas. And yet, Cottrol says, if the United States has had a history of more-rigid racial exclusion, since the Second World War it has also had a more thorough civil rights revolution, with significant legal victories over racial discrimination. Cottrol explores this remarkable transformation and shows how it is now inspiring civil rights activists throughout the Americas.

Download or read book The Nazarene Gospel Restored written by Robert Graves and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 1075 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazarene Gospel Restored is Robert Graves's major work on the life of Jesus, written in collaboration with the distinguished Hebrew scholar Joshua Podro. The research and writing occupied them for over ten years, in a working relationship compounded, in John W. Presley's phrase, 'of argument, scholarship and mutual respect', in which the imaginative writer and the Hebraist drew on their vast knowledge of the ancient world to reveal an extraordinary new, 'true' story of Jesus. The result is, as Graves wrote to T.S. Eliot, 'a very long, very readable, very strange book', and one that Presley argues is as central to Graves's thought as The White Goddess. The Nazarene Gospel Restored was controversial when first published: the Church Times refused to advertise it, reviews were hostile, and Graves twice sued for libel. In the twenty-first century it is possible to read it in the context of a continuing engagement with the historical Jesus, both scholarly and popular. In this new edition, John W. Presley gives a detailed account of the composition and reception of the book, setting it in the context of Graves's writing and of biblical scholarship. The inclusion of Graves's Foreword and annotations for a project revised edition make this an indispensable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

Download or read book Yeshua He Will Be Called a Nazarene written by Robert Shriner and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Bible, Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) is a divine person who for the redemption of humanity became, for a brief moment in history, a human being. He has undoubtedly had more influence on the world's population than any other individual! Although information about Yeshua is abundant, beginning in antiquity, recent discoveries such as the Dead Sea Scrolls have provided a treasure-trove of new and exciting information. This book begins with an examination of the ancient and recent sources and produces a portrait of Yeshua within the context of the Second Temple Era and with new light shed on the person, teachings, extraordinary works, and associations of the Savior. The title of this work is "Yeshua: He Will Be Called A Nazarene." It has long been believed that Matthew 2:23 asserts only that Yeshua was a resident of the town of Nazareth, and therefore was known as a Nazarene. However, a careful study of the historical evidence and the Greek text of the New Testament reveals that the term "Nazarene" was a reference to a sect of Judaism. This sect known as the Nazarenes was a branch group of the Essenes of Dead Sea Scrolls fame! Yeshua's association with this group sheds new light on many of his beliefs, practices, and teachings! Those who followed Yeshua constituted a body of believers that came to be known as the Christian Church (Acts 11:26); but before they were graced with this Greek designation, they were known by other Hebrew names such as "The Way" (Acts 9:2) and, perhaps most significantly: "The Sect of the Nazarenes!" (Acts 24:5). After the destruction of Israel and Jerusalem along with its Temple in the year 70 of the common era, one sect of Judaism, the Pharisees, survived, prospered, and eventually developed into modern day Rabbinic Judaism. At the same time, the sect of the Nazarenes also survived and, in the wake of many changes, has evolved into the largely Gentile Christian Church. Though these two great world religions developed along parallel historical paths, they have traditionally been separated by hatred, prejudice, and ignorance. However, in recent times, individuals in these groups have drawn close to each other. Jewish people are coming to faith in Yeshua as their Messiah and Savior. The Messianic Jewish movement has grown in amazing, even miraculous ways in just a generation! At the same time, traditional Christians are discovering that Jesus was Jewish! Excitement over newly discovered historical information has led many Christians to explore the Jewish Roots of their own Christian faith! We are indeed living in exciting times! Yeshua's dream of creating from diverse races, cultures, and belief systems "one new man" (Ephesians 2:15) is once again becoming a reality!
