Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myth, Magic, and Morals: A Study of Christian Origins In reprinting Myth, Magic, and Morals, a few insignificant verbal changes have been made in the text, and such clerical errors corrected as have been noticed by reviewers or detected by myself. Several additions have also been made to the "Notes" at the end of the book. In other respects this second edition is identical with the first. The favourable reception which not only the English Press, but also many foreign and colonial journals, have accorded to my book has afforded me deep satisfaction; for it shows that over wide circles truth is beginning to be more highly esteemed than so-called orthodoxy, and historical research more valued than blind adherence to obsolete tradition. There was a time - I am just old enough to remember it - when a work like my own would have aroused in the venerable circles of Oxford and Cambridge a regular heresy hunt. I have myself seen Dean Burgon and Dean Goulburn pursuing the Revisers of the English New Testament. I have beheld Dr. Pusey and Canon Liddon and the venerable Mr. Foulkes up in arms against the mild heresies of Dr. Jowett, of the authors of Lux Mundi, and of the late Vicar of Carfax. I have heard a Bishop of Salisbury declare from the University pulpit that if Freethinkers were not ill-livers they would never have been Freethinkers. I have known the late Bishop Stubbs reject a candidate for ordination because he could not accept as genuine and literal historical fact the first six chapters of Genesis.

Download or read book TechGnosis written by Erik Davis and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TechGnosis is a cult classic of media studies that straddles the line between academic discourse and popular culture; it appeals to both those secular and spiritual, to fans of cyberpunk and hacker literature and culture as much as new-thought adherents and spiritual seekers How does our fascination with technology intersect with the religious imagination? In TechGnosis—a cult classic now updated and reissued with a new afterword—Erik Davis argues that while the realms of the digital and the spiritual may seem worlds apart, esoteric and religious impulses have in fact always permeated (and sometimes inspired) technological communication. Davis uncovers startling connections between such seemingly disparate topics as electricity and alchemy; online roleplaying games and religious and occult practices; virtual reality and gnostic mythology; programming languages and Kabbalah. The final chapters address the apocalyptic dreams that haunt technology, providing vital historical context as well as new ways to think about a future defined by the mutant intermingling of mind and machine, nightmare and fantasy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the great figures which look down upon us across the gulf and void of time, Jesus of Nazareth is the most gracious and winning of aspect; and, although his memory was soon associated with that policy of craft and exclusiveness, of cruelty and credulity, which in East and West styled itself orthodoxy, nevertheless his name has ever been for the poor and the oppressed, for the despised and disinherited of the earth, a bond and symbol in union of peace and charity. It behooves us, then, more than ever in this age when old faiths are loosening their hold on us, and new superstitions, like Spiritualism, Occultism, and Christian Science, threaten to imprison our minds afresh, to inquire carefully who Jesus of Nazareth was, what were his real aims and ideas, what the means at his command for realizing them, how the great institutions connected with his name originated and grew up. This I have tried to do in the following pages… From the Introduction

Download or read book J R R Tolkien written by Richard Purtill and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an in-depth look at the role myth, morality, and religion play in J.R.R. Tolkien's works such as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion-including Tolkien's private letters and revealing opinions of his own work. Richard L. Purtill brilliantly argues that Tolkien's extraordinary ability to touch his readers' lives through his storytelling-so unlike much modern literature-accounts for his enormous literary success. This book demonstrates the moral depth in Tolkien's work and cuts through current subjectivism and cynicism about morality. A careful reader will find a subtle religious dimension to Tolkien's work-all the more potent because it is below the surface. Purtill reveals that Tolkien's fantasy stories creatively incorporate profound religious and ethical ideas. For example, Purtill shows us how hobbits reflect both the pettiness of parochial humanity and unexpected heroism. Purtill, author of 19 books, effectively addresses larger issues of the place of myth, the relation of religion and morality to literature, the relation of Tolkien's work to traditional mythology, and the lessons Tolkien's work teaches for our own lives.
