Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africans and Africa in the Bible highlights where and how Africans and Africa have featured in the story of God and his people since ancient times. This book shows the presence and the participation of Africans in the biblical text, helping demonstrate that Christianity is not a "white man's religion" and that Christianity has deep roots in African soil. It looks at all those in the Bible who can legitimately be considered as African, supporting its findings with both ancient and modern scholarship. Extensive appendices indicate precisely the African people and places mentioned either directly or indirectly in the Christian Scriptures, supporting the premise that Africans are not simply recipients of the Gospel message, but they are an integral part of it. o Discover how God included Africa in his purposes o Learn from biblical African forefathers o Claim your ancient spiritual heritage as an African believer

Download or read book Songye written by François Neyt and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique collection of rarely seen tribal art brings together nearly one thousand examples of powerful artefacts from the Songye tribe of Central Africa. A tribal people located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Songye are best known for their distinctive statuaries and masks, which for centuries have been used to protect villages, ward off enemies and bring fertility and wealth. Approximately one thousand of these pieces are shown in this vibrant collection by the world's leading expert on the Songye in conjunction with the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium, the world's premier research institute of African Studies. The Songye often named their statues and decorated them with horns, skins, beads, tacks, shells and bits of cloth. As a result, each item displays a singular, impressive identity. Considered to be imbued with magical energy and used only by village shamans, these statues have enormous cultural and historical significance, and they are also powerful works of art in their own right. AUTHOR: François Neyt is the author of several books on African art. ILLUSTRATIONS 400 colour illustrations

Download or read book The Theater of Electricity written by Ulf Otto and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1880s, electrical energies started circulating in European theaters, generated from fossil fuels in urban power plants. A mysterious force, which was still traded as romantic life force by some and for others had already come to stand in for progress, entered performance venues. Engineering knowledge, control techniques and supply chains changed fundamentally how theater was made and thought of. The mechanical image machine from Renaissance and Baroque times was transformed into a thermodynamic engine. Modern theater turned out to be electrified theater. – Retracing what happened backstage before the Avantgarde took to the front stage, this book proposes to write the genealogy of theaters modernity as a cultural history of theater technology.
