Download or read book Indigenous Miracles written by Edward W. Osowski and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While King Carlos I of Spain struggled to suppress the Protestant Reformation in the Old World, the Spanish turned to New Spain to promote the Catholic cause, unimpeded by the presence of the “false” Old World religions. To this end, Osowski writes, the Spanish “saw indigenous people as necessary protagonists in the anticipated triumph of the faith.” As the conversion of the indigenous people of Mexico proceeded in earnest, Catholic ritual became the medium through which indigenous leaders and Spaniards negotiated colonial hegemony. Indigenous Miracles is about how the Nahua elite of central Mexico secured political legitimacy through the administration of public rituals centered on miraculous images of Christ the King. Osowski argues that these images were adopted as community symbols and furthermore allowed Nahua leaders to “represent their own kingship,” protecting their claims to legitimacy. This legitimacy allowed them to act collectively to prevent the loss of many aspects of their culture. Osowski demonstrates how a shared religion admitted the possibility of indigenous agency and new ethnic identities. Consulting both Nahuatl and Spanish sources, Osowski strives to fill a gap in the history of the Nahuas from 1760 to 1810, a momentous time when previously sanctioned religious practices were condemned by the viceroys and archbishops of the Bourbon royal dynasty. His approach synthesizes ethnohistory and institutional history to create a fascinating account of how and why the Nahuas protected the practices and symbols they had appropriated under Hapsburg rule. Ultimately, Osowski’s account contributes to our understanding of the ways in which indigenous agency was negotiated in colonial Mexico.

Download or read book MIRACLES written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age where the existence of the supernatural is often questioned, "MIRACLES: What Does the Bible Really Teach?" emerges as a comprehensive guide exploring the enigmatic world of biblical miracles. This meticulously researched work invites readers on a journey through scriptural accounts, presenting a rigorous examination of the nature, purpose, and reality of miracles as depicted in the Holy Scriptures. Through its in-depth analysis, the book confronts the skepticism of the modern era, dismantling naturalistic explanations and affirming the credibility of the miraculous. It delves into the laws of nature, scrutinizing their relationship with reported supernatural events, and provides a potent argument for the harmony between scientific understanding and biblical miracles. "Understanding the Miracles of the Bible," the opening chapter, sets the stage by addressing the compatibility of miracles with natural law and God's moral framework. "The Miracles—Did They Really Happen?" progresses the discourse by examining the authenticity of these events, with a special focus on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The contrast between naturalism and supernaturalism is critically explored, assessing worldviews and their implications on the interpretation of miracles. The narrative further challenges naturalistic ideologies, suggesting that such perspectives struggle to adequately explain the miraculous phenomena described within the pages of the Bible. "Nature and Supernature" acknowledges the defined domains while showcasing instances where nature yields to divine intervention. The subsequent chapters present a compelling argument for the possibility of miracles, countering common objections and misconceptions with scholarly insight and theological acuity. In a bold and intriguing exposition, "Unveiling Biblical Clues: The Secret Behind the Egyptian Pyramids’ Creation" ventures beyond traditional discussions, examining historical enigmas through a biblical lens. "The Bible and Science" bridges faith and rational inquiry, engaging with topics like the Flood, human longevity, and the perceived scientific errors in the Bible. The penultimate chapter, "Is Genesis’ Creation of the World a Myth and Legend?" investigates the origins of the universe as presented in Genesis, juxtaposing biblical accounts with ancient creation stories. Finally, "The Continuation of the Spiritual Gifts?" addresses the cessation of miracles, contending that while miracles served a definitive purpose during biblical times, their primary function as signs of divine endorsement concluded with the close of the apostolic age. With rigorous scholarship and thought-provoking analysis, "MIRACLES: What Does the Bible Really Teach?" stands as an essential resource for those seeking to understand the intersection of faith, history, and the supernatural. It is an invitation to explore the biblical testimony on miracles and discover their enduring message for the contemporary world.

Download or read book Seeking the Scallop Shell written by Marilyn Parkes-Seddon and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Reformation, the desire to go on pilgrimage was almost universal; it was a part of life. For some it was simply an act of piety, whereas others wished to obtain healing. Few would have doubted that by visiting a saint's shrine or holy place they would gain indulgences to offset against their sins, fast-tracking themselves into heaven when they died. The scallop shell - symbol of St James - became the recognised badge of pilgrims everywhere. In this book Marilyn Parkes-Seddon recounts her experiences visiting twenty-two places of pilgrimage in Britain. Her journeys take her from the tiny cell where St Julian lived in self-imposed incarceration for forty years to the unexpected jewel of Samye Ling Buddhist monastery in Dumfries & Galloway and the awesome grandeur of Durham Cathedral.
