Download or read book Remorse and Entreaty written by Elizabeth Robinson and published by Society for the Study of Medieval Languages and Literature. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study establishes groupings for a range of vernacular confessional prayers from the tenth and eleventh centuries, thereby revealing not only key divergences but the even more striking parallels in their English phrases — phrases doubtless familiar to their intended readers or reciters which would have helped them in confessing or meditating upon their sins. Each edited text is provided with notes and there is an extensive glossary. The manuscript context of each prayer is examined in detail to consider how far this throws any light on the expected usage. Where known, the Latin original that lies behind the texts is supplied, demonstrating how closely or freely the original translator (and perhaps others intervening in the texts here printed) followed the Latin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DigiCat presents to you this carefully created volume of "The Greatest Works of Anna Katharine Green". This ebook has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories. Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". She is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. Her main character was detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, but in three novels he is assisted by the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations. She also invented the 'girl detective': in the character of Violet Strange, a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth. Indeed, as journalist Kathy Hickman writes, Green "stamped the mystery genre with the distinctive features that would influence writers from Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle to contemporary authors of suspenseful "whodunits".

Download or read book The Jerusalem Bible written by Alexander Jones and published by Image. This book was released on 2000-02-15 with total page 1698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to Bible translations, readability and reliability are what count; and on both counts, the original JERUSALEM BIBLE stands alone. A product of the age of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (published in 1966) was the first truly modern Bible for Catholics. Using definitive original language texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical scholars of L'École Biblique in Jerusalem produced a meticulously accurate, wonderfully readable French translation of the complete canon of Scripture (La Bible de Jérusalem). From this French original came the English edition, edited by renowned Bible scholar Alexander Jones. For all the people around the world who are discovering or revisiting the mysteries contained in the Scriptures, only a clear, understandable Bible translation will do. With language as exquisite but more modern than the King James Version, THE JERUSALEM BIBLE is the one they can trust.

Book excerpt: Historical novel by Victor Hugo set in 1791, during the tumultuous early years of the slave revolt that would lead to the Haitian Revolution, and the creation of the black republic of Haiti in 1804.

Download or read book God and Meaning written by Joshua W. Seachris and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest among analytic philosophers in the topic of life's meaning. What is striking about this surge of work is that nearly all of it is by naturalists theorizing from non-theistic starting points. This book answers the need for a theistic philosophical perspective on the meaning of life. Bringing together some of the leading thinkers in analytic philosophy of religion and theology, God and Meaning touches on important issues in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of religion, and biblical theology that intersect with life's meaning. In particular: What does the question ?What is the meaning of life?? mean? How can we know if life has meaning and what that meaning is? Might God enhance life's meaningfulness in some ways but detract from it in others? Is the most meaningful life one of perfect happiness? What is the relationship between eternity and life's meaning? How does the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes illumine the topic? Should we hope that a kind of transcendent meaning exists? Presenting a state-of-the-art assessment of current philosophical positions on these and many other questions, God and Meaning is an invaluable resource for all students and scholars of the philosophy of religion.

Download or read book Romantic Tragedies written by Reeve Parker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Troubled politically and personally, Wordsworth and Coleridge turned in 1797 to the London stage. Their tragedies, The Borderers and Osorio, were set in medieval Britain and early modern Spain to avoid the Lord Chamberlain's censorship. Drury Lane rejected both, but fifteen years later Coleridge's revision, Remorse, had spectacular success there, inspiring Shelley's 1819 Roman tragedy, The Cenci, aimed for Covent Garden. Reeve Parker makes a striking case for the power of these intertwined works, written against British hostility to French republican liberties and Regency repression of home-grown agitation. Covertly, Remorse and The Cenci also turn against Wordsworth. Stressing the significance of subtly repeated imagery and resonances with Virgil, Shakespeare, Racine, Jean-François Ducis and Schiller, Parker's close readings, which are boldly imaginative and decidedly untoward, argue that at the heart of these tragedies lie powerful dramatic uncertainties driven by unstable passions - what he calls, adapting Coleridge's phrase for sorcery, 'dark employments'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: But David tarried behind. The scribe has chosen a subordinating conjunction (but) to conceal a negative abstraction worthy of investigation. The verb tarried is passive in its expression, and it too is hiding a secret. The scribe is trying to lead us to believe that David was tired and needed a rest; however, investigations persuade us to believe that something else was on his mindCould it be, a few days before, David received a text message from Bathsheba to induce his probing spirit that kept him home and awake? after all, they were neighbors and David was a cats meowCould it be that their attraction factors were aroused and one or the other made a gesture of willingness?Could it be also that she had seen him up there before and lust was conceived in her heartand she thought this a tranquil opportunity to gratify her lust?and, if it came to light, he could sweep it under his political rugDavid, turning to politics to cover his tracks was the mistake of his life, and many in religious leadership are following the same path.

Download or read book Remorse written by Anthony Bash and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the Christian church has a well-developed theology of Godward-facing remorse about sin, it has paid little attention to the interpersonal implications of the remorse that people feel when they wrong one another. Since the nineteenth century, important work has been done by psychologists, anthropologists, philosophers, ethicists, scientists, and lawyers that has implications for the way theologians might think about remorse. This book draws on the biblical record in its ancient settings as well as on insights from contemporary scholarship to offer a new and distinctively Christian contribution to an understanding of remorse.
