Download or read book Jacob H Carruthers and the Restoration of an African Worldview written by Kamau Rashid and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-06-15 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding Our Way Through the Desert: Jacob H. Carruthers and the Restoration of an African Worldview offers a critical examination of the ideas and work of Carruthers, a key architect of the African-centered paradigm and a major contributor to its application to the study of Nile Valley culture and civilization. Herein, Kamau Rashid explicates some of Carruthers’s principal contributions, the theoretical and practical implications of his work, and how Carruthers’s work is situated in the stream of Black intellectual genealogy. Essential to this book are Carruthers’s concerns about the vital importance of Black intellectuals in the illumination of new visions of future possibility for African people. The centrality of African history and culture as resources in the transformation of consciousness and ultimately the revitalization of an African worldview were key elements in Carruthers’s conceptualization of two interrelated imperatives—the re-Africanization of Black consciousness and the transformation of reality. Composed of three parts, this book discusses various themes including Black education, disciplinary knowledge and knowledge construction, indigenous African cosmologies, African deep thought, institutional formation, revolutionary struggle, history and historiography to explore the implications of Carruthers’s thinking to the ongoing malaise of African people globally.
Download or read book The Exodus written by Peter Feinman and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did the Exodus occur? This question has been asked in biblical scholarship since its origin as a modern science. The desire to resolve the question scientifically was a key component in the funding of archaeological excavations in the nineteenth century. Egyptian archaeologists routinely equated sites with their presumed biblical counterpart. Initially, it was taken for granted that the Exodus had occurred. It was simply a matter of finding the archaeological data to prove it. So far, those results have been for naught. The Exodus: An Egyptian Story takes a very real-world approach to understanding the Exodus. It is not a story of cosmic spectaculars that miraculously or coincidentally occurred when a people prepared to leave Egypt. There are no special effects in the telling of this story. Instead, the story is told with real people in the real world doing what real people do. Peter Feinman does not rely on the biblical text and is not trying to prove that the Bible is true. He places the Exodus within Egyptian history based on the Egyptian archaeological record. It is a story of the rejection of the Egyptian cultural construct and defiance of Ramses II. Egyptologists, not biblical scholars, are the guides to telling the Exodus story. What would you expect Ramses II to say after he had been humiliated? If there is an Egyptian smoking gun for the Exodus, how would you recognize it? To answer these questions requires us to take the Exodus seriously as a major event at the royal level in Egyptian history.
Download or read book Restoration The Complete Series written by Bayla Dornon and published by Bayla Dornon. This book was released on 2021-11-20 with total page 2132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exciting full four-book series! Three unlikely friends, Chris, Mary, and George, come together as they flee the homes where they no longer fit, and begin a journey of self-discovery. At the Center for Restoration, they find freedom, acceptance and love, and begin the journey out of the patriarchal religious and societal constraints that caused them to flee their families and homes. The novels in the RESTORATION Series follow the struggles of three characters brought together in their escape from homes and lives that don't accept them — Chris, a young gay man; George a disinherited rich boy; and Mary, a victim of patriarchal domestic violence, strive to reach the freedom and happiness of a world free from religious hegemony. Filled with the passions and pathos of the young, the series examines in depth the inherent conflict between all religion and democracy in a pluralistic society. For the tortured victims of patriarchal religions in America, running away is only the beginning of an arduous journey away from mental and emotional slavery to ancient thinking, and towards self-discovery and the principles of the Enlightenment. Restoration, Book One. "The Only True Religion" and "Liberation" Fleeing his hyper-religious family when they threaten him with anti-gay conversion therapy, Chris Brenner finds both refuge and first love within the humanist Center for Restoration. But now, caught in the turmoil and social unrest of the Trump age, the San Francisco-based Center for Restoration faces a new threat, and Chris and his friends must fight for its very existence Restoration, Book Two. “Autrefois” Stunned by a tragic loss, young Chris Brenner and the friends he made at the Center for Restoration struggle to make sense of a world suddenly filled with pain. As Chris, George and Mary all cope in their own ways, Chris receives a precious gift from the past, which leads him on a voyage of discovery, deepening his knowledge of both the Center and the life of the man he loves. Restoration, Book Three: "The Masters" Chris Brenner has a hard choice to make: stay with his friends in San Francisco, surrounded by the memories of his dead boyfriend; or move to a city thousands of miles away? His friends, Mary and George have already relocated to Manhattan, for family reasons. But life in New York turns out to be quite different from that they expected— and Chris soon finds himself on a path he never imagined. Restoration, Book Four: "The Book Of The Dead" Since he fled from his religious fundamentalist family over a year ago, young Chris Brenner has completed his first year as an initiate at the Center for Restoration, and become a student of Theresa Smith, one of the founders of the organization. Now, alone in his former teacher’s apartment in Manhattan, delving into the deceased Master's past through her writings, Chris begins to find the purpose.
Download or read book Restoration A Story of Restoration from Desperation written by Jim Draper and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of this book is about restoration. It tells my personal life story of restoration and how I developed a successful career restoring properties at the same time. It is a parallel experience. It all started with my personal commitment to Christ. As he began to restore me from a life of desperation, I was restoring an old barn to make a house for me to live, out of necessity. I learned that the principles are the same. You have to remove all the unusable material in a structure in order to replace them with good materials so your building will be solid and will last. It is the same with your life: you have to remove all the old habits and thoughts that keep you from being a whole and successful person. It has been an incredible journey for the last thirty-six years to see the plans that God had for my life. That is what restoration is all about. When you surrender your will to him, he can then take you where he planned for you to go all along. He couldn't do it as long as you were in control. I did it my way for thirty-three years, and it ended in desperation. I have done it his way for thirty-six, and his ways are best. I have accomplished more than I ever dreamed of, and we are nowhere near finished. In the book, I share with you the twelve life-skill principles I learned from the scripture, and as I applied all of them, I experienced the results that they promised. I want to share these principles with you, and I know that they will help you as they did me, for God is no respecter of persons. The key is you have to apply them, not just know them. The old barn would have never been converted into a house if I had refused to do the work.
Download or read book Responsibility Chastisement and Restoration written by Ronald Laldinsuah and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Old Testament scholars have focused their studies of justice on the eighth-century BC prophets Isaiah, Amos and Micah, giving little or no attention to Hosea. Neglect of Hosea in relation to justice arises from the common notion that he was a prophet of love, and although some studies concede that parts of the book deal with justice, it is often overlooked or given secondary importance to other concerns and themes. In this publication Ronald Laldinsuah addresses this misconception by demonstrating that Hosea was indeed a prophet of justice. Through careful analysis of the text as well as observing both the biblical concept and the secular notions of justice it is observed that justice must perpetuate right and true relationships. In ‘relational justice’ we see the inseparable relationship among humans, and between humans and God – emphasising Hosea’s message of responsibility, chastisement and restoration.

Also discussed are the various categories of priests, the organization of the priesthood, and its daily services and customs.

Download or read book Ancient Israel in Egypt written by Daniel Tompsett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks back over thousands of years to explore the period in Egyptian history when the Bible identifies that Ancient Israel was resident in Egypt. It asks and answers one very simple question: What new things can we learn about this period of history if we treat the Bible as a valid historical document? Whereas this topic is often approached from either the perspective of the Bible or Egyptology, this work genuinely attempts to occupy the ground between the two. It uses Scripture like a torch carried into the deepest recesses of the established historical facts and theories concerning the late Middle Kingdom period, the Second Intermediate period, and the early New Kingdom period in Egyptian history. Along the way, it considers some of the latest discoveries, innovations, and theories from the world of Egyptology and unearths a trove of tangible points of connection. As such, the narrative forms a two-way perspective, where the biblical account illuminates stubbornly opaque moments in Egyptian history and chronology and where the meticulous work of Egyptologists provides appropriate additional background to the Bible. The result is a sharper perspective of an ancient account that has a surprisingly current application for us all.

Download or read book Pharaoh Seti I written by Nicky Nielsen and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharaoh Seti I ruled Egypt for only 11 years (1290-1279 BC), but his reign marked a revival of Egyptian military and economic power, as well as cultural and religious life. Seti was born the son of a military officer in northern Egypt, far from the halls of power in Memphis and Thebes. However, when the last king of the 18th Dynasty, Horemheb, died without an heir, Setis father was named king. He ruled for only two years before dying of old age, leaving Seti in charge of an ailing superpower. Seti set about rebuilding Egypt after a century of dynastic struggles and religious unrest. He reasserted Egypts might with a series of campaigns across the Levant, Libya and Nubia. He despatched expeditions to mine for copper, gold, and quarry for stone in the deserts, laying the foundations for one of the most ambitious building projects of any Egyptian Pharaoh and his actions allowed his son, Ramesses the Great to rule in relative peace and stability for 69 years, building on the legacy of his father.

Download or read book The Theme of Hardening in the Book of Isaiah written by Torsten Uhlig and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2009 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their hearts and turn and be healed. This call of the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 6 has perplexed readers of all times. Torsten Uhlig reconsiders this text and other related passages. Applying a communicative approach and engaging with recent studies on righteousness, the author presents a new interpretation of the theme of hardening in the Book of Isaiah. He argues that hardening is to be understood in the context of the communicative aspect of righteousness and elucidates the communicative acts involved in the hardening of the people. Describing the role of these passages within the communicative strategy of larger units, this monograph offers a distinctive contribution to the interpretation of the Book of Isaiah as a whole.
