Download or read book Novena for Murder written by Sister Carol Anne O'Marie and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers have come to delight in the murder-solving exploits of septuagenarian Sister Mary Helen, a nun with a nose for trouble. Publishers Weekly calls the Sister Mary Helen Mysteries "refreshingly different". Once you meet this spry, clever sleuth, you'll want to make a habit of reading her adventures again and again. Sister Mary Helen isn't ready for retirement. Instead she's arrived at a San Francisco women's college to teach history and perhaps shake things up. An earthquake does that before she can, and amid the rubble lies a body. An "Act of God" is not responsible for the death, but rather murder. One of Sister Helen's fellow nuns begins a novena to St. Dismas, "the Good Thief" predicting the saint will reveal the murderer within nine days. Sure enough the police soon nab a suspect...but Sister Mary Helen believes it's the wrong man and begins her own pursuit of the killer. Her motive is justice...and her inspiration, simply divine.

Download or read book The Saint and the Chopped Up Baby written by Laura Ackerman Smoller and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent Ferrer (1350–1419), a celebrated Dominican preacher from Valencia, was revered as a living saint during his lifetime, receiving papal canonization within fifty years of his death. In The Saint and the Chopped-Up Baby, Laura Ackerman Smoller recounts the fascinating story of how Vincent became the subject of widespread devotion, ranging from the saint's tomb in Brittany to cult centers in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and Latin America, where Vincent is still venerated today. Along the way, Smoller traces the long and sometimes contentious process of establishing a stable image of a new saint. Vincent came to be epitomized by a singularly arresting miracle tale in which a mother kills, chops up, and cooks her own baby, only to have the child restored to life by the saint’s intercession. This miracle became a key emblem in the official portrayal of the saint promoted by the papal court and the Dominican order, still haunted by the memory of the Great Schism (1378–1414) that had rent the Catholic Church for nearly forty years. Vincent, however, proved to be a potent religious symbol for others whose agendas did not necessarily align with those of Rome. Whether shoring up the political legitimacy of Breton or Aragonese rulers, proclaiming a new plague saint, or trumpeting their own holiness, individuals imposed their own meanings on the Dominican saint. Drawing on nuanced readings of canonization inquests, hagiography, liturgical sources, art, and devotional materials, Smoller tracks these various appropriations from the time of Vincent’s 1455 canonization through the eve of the Enlightenment. In the process, she brings to life a long, raucous discussion ranging over many centuries. The Saint and the Chopped-Up Baby restores the voices of that conversation in all its complexity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gracias Dios no es un libro de datos, esta es una verdadera versiA3n que yo estoy compartiendo, para que esta generaciA3n mejore y la generaciA3n futura crezca segura, feliz y productiva. Nosotros usualmente nos preguntamos si Dios existe o solo es un personaje ficticio. PermAtame decirles, yo soy una testigo viva que les confirma que Dios, JesAos y MarAa son reales. Yo los vi a ellos en la Iglesia Good Shepherd en Holbrook, Nueva York; y ademA!s, cuando estuve durmiendo, tuve mi propio viaje y los visitA(c) a ellos. Muchos otros autores de libros escriben frases estimulantes, pero ellos no explican la verdadera fuente del por quA(c) ocurren diferentes cambios en la vida y en el cuerpo humano. Todas las preguntas que no tienen respuestas correctas dejan a las personas en un estado de nerviosismo, ansiedad, miedo, y fA!cilmente caen en pA!nico. Cuando ellos entran en estado de pA!nico, sus vidas empiezan a desbaratarse y, desafortunadamente, muchos pierden la vida. Todo esto les sucede a ellos, es porque carecen de la correcta informaciA3n de cA3mo la mente y cuerpo funcionan. Recuerden, nosotros somos piezas de Dios, por eso nosotros estamos conectados directamente con A%0l, desde el lado derecho de nuestro cerebro. JesAos dijo: aEURoeSi tAo rezas con fe, tAo serA!s sanadoaEUR. JesAos nos enseA+-A3 a perdonar, amar y ayudarnos. Vivir en la Tierra es solo un aprendizaje de esto. Bueno, el Cielo existe, y a allA! solo irA!n los que aprendieron y practicaron lo que JesAos nos enseA+-A3. Yo conocA el infierno, y no me asustA(c). El limbo me sobresaltA3, y cuando estuve en el cielo, yo me sentA muy bien, y querAa quedarme ahA. Dentro del libro, estoy describiendo como lucen cada uno de estos lugares.Dios: aEURoeMis hijos han sido destruidos porque no tienen conocimientoaEUR. Esta es la razA3n por la cual el libro Gracias Dios fue escrito; entonces todos podrA!n alcanzar una prA3spera vida.Queridos lectores: yo los invito a que visiten mi website: www.diosnosbendigaahora.com ahA ustedes encontrarA!n un archivo de PDF gratis: aEURoeMi hijo triunfA3, su autismo quedA3 en el pasadoaEUR.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism written by R. S. Sugirtharajah and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism is a comprehensive treatment of a relatively new form of scholarship-one of the most compelling and contested theories to emerge in recent times, and a topic that actively seeks to expand the ways in which the Bible can be studied, interpreted, and applied. Generally speaking, postcolonialism aims to critique and dismantle hegemonic worldviews and power structures, while giving voice to previously marginalized peoples and systems of thought. This approach, often varied in form, has inevitably engaged with the text and reception of the Bible, a scripture that Western colonizers introduced to-and often imposed upon-their colonial subjects. With a globally diverse list of contributors, the Handbook aims to cover the perspective and context of the authors of the Bible, as well as the modern experiences of imperialism, resistance, decolonization, and nationalism. Moreover, the volume includes both a theoretical overview and an exploration of how the field intersects with related areas, such as gender studies, race, postmodernism, and liberation theology.

Download or read book Contesting the Sacred written by John Eade and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether a pilgrimage centers around a place, a visionary individual, or a text, it brings widely diverse individuals and their beliefs, doctrines, and expectations into contact with each other. This important collection assesses the qualities and power of pilgrimage shrines as sites for accommodating various, often competing, meanings and practices, both among pilgrims and between shrine custodians and devotees. Contributors discuss the highly organized shrine at Lourdes and also the shrine at San Giovanni Rotondo in Sangiovannesi, Italy, where conflicting interests among townspeople and pilgrims have crystallized around the life and the remains, respectively, of a holy man. Other contributors consider the competing images of Jerusalem among pilgrims of various Christian faiths-Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Christian Zionist-and explore the unique attributes of shrines in Sri Lanka and Peru. A major advance in understanding the complexity of pilgrimage, Contesting the Sacred provides valuable insight into the process of exchange between human beings and the divine that gives pilgrimage its central rationale. John Eade's new introduction places the book's theoretical frame in the context of recent thinking and writing on pilgrimage and considers the impact of globalization and tourism on pilgrimage cults and sites.
