Download or read book Stone by Stone written by Robert Thorson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There once may have been 250,000 miles of stone walls in America's Northeast, stretching farther than the distance to the moon. They took three billion man-hours to build. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story-about the geothermal forces that formed their stones, the tectonic movements that brought them to the surface, the glacial tide that broke them apart, the earth that held them for so long, and about the humans who built them. Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.
Download or read book Visions in a Seer Stone written by William L. Davis and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-04-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this interdisciplinary work, William L. Davis examines Joseph Smith's 1829 creation of the Book of Mormon, the foundational text of the Latter Day Saint movement. Positioning the text in the history of early American oratorical techniques, sermon culture, educational practices, and the passion for self-improvement, Davis elucidates both the fascinating cultural context for the creation of the Book of Mormon and the central role of oral culture in early nineteenth-century America. Drawing on performance studies, religious studies, literary culture, and the history of early American education, Davis analyzes Smith's process of oral composition. How did he produce a history spanning a period of 1,000 years, filled with hundreds of distinct characters and episodes, all cohesively tied together in an overarching narrative? Eyewitnesses claimed that Smith never looked at notes, manuscripts, or books—he simply spoke the words of this American religious epic into existence. Judging the truth of this process is not Davis's interest. Rather, he reveals a kaleidoscope of practices and styles that converged around Smith's creation, with an emphasis on the evangelical preaching styles popularized by the renowned George Whitefield and John Wesley.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... They are "the oracles of God;" and it is a sin of no ordinary magnitude to pervert their meaning. Take heed how you read and hear. The Bible contains that " truth which is according to godliness." This is an important rule of interpretation. To pervert these holy oracles, so as to give encouragement to impiety, is to incur a responsibility at which the stoutest heart may justly tremble. 3. To make them known to others. It is a great sin to restrain the Scriptures; and in this respect the Church of Rome is the most guilty community on earth. Take care that you do not imitate that people. Teach these oracles to your children and servants, and assist in circulating them to the ends of the earth. 4. To apply to practical purposes. Salvation is revealed to us in those oracles; and that salvation we must work out with fear and trembling, or be lost for ever. If we have the word of salvation in our hands, and are at last found in our sins, our account will be terrible; and our punishment, remorse, and confusion, will admit of no remedy. Sebmon lxxxvi.--The Infliction of Evil upon Mankind. "For he doth not afflict willingly nor griove the children of men. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High," Lamentations iii, 33-35. There is much of the evil of affliction in the world; and reflecting men, not having the light of revelation, have always felt themselves perplexed by the fact. To solve the difficulty, some, among the ori entals, conceived of the existence of two opposite and conflicting principles, that of good, and that of evil. Others referred all to fate; while some, again, removed the Supreme Mind from all concern in worldly affairs. And, indeed, separate...

Download or read book Transforming the Stone written by Barbara K. Lundblad and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Lundblad contends that to preach is to engage a specific community of Christians in a process of gradual growth and change. While every parish has its unique attributes and needs, there are some basic dynamics at work in moving a congregation through resistance and toward transformation. Lundblad focuses our attention on these dynamics as she describes a program of preaching meant to re-fashion a people. The steps include building a foundation of grace, re-imaging Jesus, naming and honoring the wounds of community members, naming and removing obstacles to change, describing alternative futures, and daring hope. The author addresses each of these themes separately in chapters that include a brief introduction, two sample sermons, and a conclusion. This book for preachers provides a model for transformation preaching.
