Download or read book Material Spirit written by Manuel Asensi and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection examine philosophical, religious, and literary or artistic texts using methodologies and insights that have grown out of reflection on literature and art. In them, them phrase “material spirit” becomes a point of departure for considering the continuing spectral effects of religious texts and concerns in ways that do not simply call for, or assume, new orrenewed forms of religiosity. The writers in this collection seek to examine religion beyond traditional notions of transcendence: Their topics range from early Christian religious practices to global climate change. Some of the essays explore religious themes or tones in literary texts, for example, works by Wordsworth, Hopkins, Proust, Woolf, and Teresa of Avila. Others approach—in a literarycritical mood—philosophical or para-philosophical writers such as Bataille, Husserl, Derrida, and Benjamin. Still others treat writers of a more explicitly religious orientation, such as Augustine, Rosenzweig, or Bernard of Clairvaux.

Download or read book Spirit Things written by Lara Messersmith-Glavin and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays that evoke an adventurous spirit and the craving for myth, Spirit Things examines the hidden meanings of objects found on a fishing boat, as seen through the eyes of a child. Author Lara Messersmith-Glavin blends memoir, mythology, and science as she relates the uniqueness and flavor of the Alaskan experience through her memories of growing up fishing in the commercial salmon industry off Kodiak Island. “Spirit things” are those mundane objects that offer new insights into the world on closer consideration—fishing nets, a favorite knife, and the bioluminescent gleam of seawater in a twilight that never truly grows dark. Spirit Things recounts stories of fishing, family, synesthesia, storytelling, gender, violence, and meaning. Each essay takes an object and follows it through histories: personal, material, and scientific, drawing together the delicate lines that link things through their making and use, their genesis and evolution, and the ways they gain significance in an individual’s life. A contemplative take on everything from childcare to neurodivergence, comfort foods to outlaws, Spirit Things uses experiences from the human world and locates them on the edges of nature. Contact with wilderness, with wildness, be it twenty-foot seas in the ocean off Alaska’s coast or chairs flying through windows of a Kodiak bar, provides an entry point for meditations on the ways in which patterns, magic, and wonder overlap.

Book excerpt: While many of the most significant black intellectual movements of the second half of the twentieth century have been perceived as secular, Josef Sorett demonstrates in this book that religion was actually a fertile, fluid and formidable force within these movements. Spirit in the Dark examines how African American literary visions were animated and organized by religion and spirituality, from the New Negro Renaissance of the 1920s to the Black Arts movement of the 1960s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine your departed loved one giving you and the world one last message filled with life-altering insight and wisdom. What would it be like to have the whole world read and bear witness to your loved one's life and death experience as told by them from their place in the spirit world? What if our loved ones offered unimaginable clarity, wisdom, and understanding to all of us here on earth? Through their own life experiences and soul perspective, those in spirit try desperately to assist the living by offering wisdom that can lead us back to the path of love and connection. They want to share their stories so that we on earth can live our lives with peace, joy, love, and compassion. They wish to assist us in breaking the cycles and patterns that keep suffering and pain alive in this world, while shifting the collective consciousness to higher levels of understanding. By sharing their stories, they open the path for humanity to do things differently and to understand how every soul has a destiny and purpose on this earth. Speaking from Spirit is a compilation of twenty-five stories told to author RoseMarie Rubinetti Cappiello mostly from spirits that have crossed into the nonphysical realm. This is not a book on mediumship, although the stories were received through a mediumistic channel. These are stories about regular people, their regular lives, and what they came to understand about their life experiences from a soul perspective after they passed. Along the lines of Five People You Meet in Heaven and The Shack, Speaking from Spirit reflects a different perspective, one that comes from more than just hindsight -- it comes from deep wisdom. A very uplifting read. Maybe it is your loved one who speaks to us all.

Download or read book The Force of Spirit written by Scott Russell Sanders and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2001-09-18 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scott Russell Sanders reveals how the pressure of the sacred breaks through the surfaces of ordinary life-a life devoted to grown-up children and aging parents, the craft of writing, and the natural world. Whether writing to his daughter and his son as each prepares to get married, or describing an encounter with a red-tailed hawk in whose form he glimpses his dead father, or praising the disciplines of writing and carpentry and teaching, Sanders registers, in finely tuned prose, the force of spirit.
Download or read book Holy Spirit and Religious Experience in Christian Literature ca AD 90 200 written by John Eifion Morgan-Wynne and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Holy Spirit and Religious Experience' seeks to find out how far the centrality of the Holy Spirit in Christian experience during the earliest period of the church was maintained or diminished in the third to the fifth generations (ca. AD 90-200). Three themes are explored. First, the sense of encounter with the divine presence, the numinous, a sense of being caught up into the divine being or being overwhelmed by the One who is beyond us. Secondly, a sense of being illuminated in respect to the truth, given deeper understanding of God's purpose, whether for the individual or the congregation, or guided in decision-making. Thirdly, a sense of ethical empowerment, an awareness of being helped by divine power, assisted in a course of action or development of character, in grappling with temptation, or in the ultimate test of loyalty, martyrdom. This book is arranged geographically, from Syria and Asia Minor in the East to Rome and Gaul in the West, including North Africa and Egypt. Christian authors within these areas are examined chronologically, from the later New Testament writers through the second century to Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian of Carthage, for the evidence they supply. The variegated picture which emerges, it is contended, reflects second-century Christianity.

Download or read book Letter and the Spirit of Nineteenth Century American Literature written by Thomas Loebel and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005-01-12 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving back to the trial of Anne Hutchinson in Puritan Massachusetts and the captivity narrative of Mary Rowlandson in order to analyse theo-political signification, Loebel provides a new context for examining the politically performative function of language in such texts as "The Scarlet Letter," "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and "Waiting for the Verdict." He also argues, however, that a specific theo-logic manifests itself in the political rhetoric of the nation, such that the afterlife of the "New Jerusalem" resonates not just in the "Blessings of Liberty" enshrined in the Constitution but also in the shift from a religious understanding of union with Jesus to that of the Union of States as a nation. Loebel compares unionist and confederate discourse, opening up new ways of theorising representation as a political, theological, legal, and literary issue that has continued currency both in twentieth-century literature and in the political discourse of America's global vision, such as the "axis of evil" and the "new world order." Anyone interested in American literature and culture will view the relationship between ethics and justice differently after reading this book.
