Download or read book The Last Temptation of Christ written by Nikos Kazantzakis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internationally renowned novel about the life and death of Jesus Christ. Hailed as a masterpiece by critics worldwide, The Last Temptation of Christ is a monumental reinterpretation of the Gospels that brilliantly fleshes out Christ’s Passion. This literary rendering of the life of Jesus Christ has courted controversy since its publication by depicting a Christ far more human than the one seen in the Bible. He is a figure who is gloriously divine but earthy and human, a man like any other—subject to fear, doubt, and pain. In elegant, thoughtful prose Nikos Kazantzakis, one of the greats of modern literature, follows this Jesus as he struggles to live out God’s will for him, powerfully suggesting that it was Christ’s ultimate triumph over his flawed humanity, when he gave up the temptation to run from the cross and willingly laid down his life for mankind, that truly made him the venerable redeemer of men. “Spiritual dynamite.” —San Francisco Chronicle “A searing, soaring, shocking novel.” —Time

Book excerpt: "Thank you, Church Publishing, for reviving the Seabury Imprint and reissuing wonderful spiritual classics, such as this insightful look at the need to assimilate our temptations into our maturing spiritual journeys." --The Living Church In Allen's account of the Christian life, temptation offers us a doorway into the mystery of God. Far from trying to avoid the temptations of our daily lives, we need to recognize them as an essential part of our journey into the kingdom of God. Here our model is the three temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness: the temptations of material goods, security, and prestige. To face the reality of these temptations, even though we cannot overcome them, is to enter upon the spiritual life.

Download or read book Wittgenstein and Lacan at the Limit written by Maria Balaska and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Jacques Lacan around their treatments of ‘astonishment,’ an experience of being struck by something that appears to be extraordinarily significant. Both thinkers have a central interest in the dissatisfaction with meaning that these experiences generate when we attempt to articulate them, to bring language to bear on them. Maria Balaska argues that this frustration and difficulty with meaning reveals a more fundamental characteristic of our sense-making capacities –namely, their groundlessness. Instead of disappointment with language’s sense-making capacities, Balaska argues that Wittgenstein and Lacan can help us find in this revelation of meaning’s groundlessness an opportunity to acknowledge our own involvement in meaning, to creatively participate in it and thereby to enrich our forms of life with language.
Download or read book The Re enchantment of the World written by Joshua Landy and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Re-Enchantment of the World is an interdisciplinary volume that challenges the long-prevailing view of modernity as "disenchanted." There is of course something to the widespread idea, so memorably put into words by Max Weber, that modernity is characterized by the "progressive disenchantment of the world." Yet what is less often recognized is the fact that a powerful counter-tendency runs alongside this one, an overwhelming urge to fill the vacuum left by departed convictions, and to do so without invoking superseded belief systems. In fact, modernity produces an array of strategies for re-enchantment, each fully compatible with secular rationality. It has to, because God has many "aspects"--or to put it in more secular terms, because traditional religion offers so much in so many domains. From one thinker to the next, the question of just what, in religious enchantment, needs to be replaced in a secular world receives an entirely different answer. Now, for the first time, many of these strategies are laid out in a single volume, with contributions by specialists in literature, history, and philosophy.

Download or read book Narrative Social Myth and Reality in Contemporary Scottish and Irish Women s Writing written by Tudor Balinisteanu and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an original interdisciplinary analysis of the relations between myth, identity and social reality, involving elements of narratology theory, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology and social theory, harnessed to support an argument firmly located in the area of literary criticism. This analysis yields a fairly extensive reinterpretation of the concept of myth, which is applied to the examination of the relationship between narrative and social reality as represented in texts by contemporary Scottish and Irish women writers. The main theoretical sources are Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of heteroglossia, Jacques Derrida’s theories of citationality and Judith Butler’s theories of subjectivity. The analysis framework developed in the book uses these theories to create a new way of understanding how literary texts change readers’ worldviews by enticing them to accept alternative possibilities of cultural expression of identity and social order. The texts analysed in this book reconfigure naturalised stories that have become normative and constraining in conveying identities and visions of legitimate social orders. The book’s focus on feminine identities places it alongside feminist analyses of reconstructions of fairy tales, myths or canonical stories that establish what counts as legitimate feminine identity. Studied here for the first time together, the writers whose texts form the interest of this book continue the revisionist work begun by other women writers who engage with the male generated literary, philosophical and humanist tradition. They share a view of narratives as tools for continually negotiating our identities, social worlds and socialisation scenarios. While the high-level theoretical discourse of the first part of the book requires specialised knowledge, the second part of the book, offering close readings of the texts, is both lively and accessible and should engage the interest of the general reader and academic alike. This book is written for all those who are interested in the power words have to hold sway over our inner and outer (social) worlds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Florovsky (1893-1979) was one of the most prominent Orthodox theologians and ecumenists of the twentieth century. His call for a return to patristic writings as a source of modern theological reflection had a powerful impact not only on Orthodox theology in the second half of the twentieth century, but on Christian theology in general. Florovsky was also a major Orthodox voice in the ecumenical movement for four decades and he is one of the founders of the World Council of Churches. This book is a collection of major theological writings by George Florovsky. It includes representative and widely influential but now largely inaccessible texts, many newly translated for this book, divided into four thematic sections: Creation, Incarnation and Redemption, The Nature of Theology, Ecclesiology and Ecumenism, and Scripture, Worship and Eschatology. A foreword by Metropolitan Kallistos Ware presents the theological vision of Georges Florovsky and discusses the continuing relevance of his work both for Orthodox theology and for modern theology in general. The introduction by the Editors provides a theological and historical overview of Florovsky theology in teh context of his biography. The book includes explanatory notes, translation of patrisitc citations and an index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to a world where passionate love intertwines modern sexual practices with the wisdom of the ancient east, and desire is ignited by the timeless teachings of the Kama Sutra, Kabazza, Kunyaza, Imsak, The Perfumed Garden, Ananga Ranga, The Pillow Book, Tantra and Tao. This new artful practice “Alveno Plaisir: Arrival of the Ultimate Pleasure," invites you on an intimate journey of sensual exploration, where every caress, every glance, and every touch resonates with profound connection and ecstasy. In the embrace of this modern practice, you and your partner will unlock the secrets to a fulfilling and rapturous intimate life, where pleasure becomes an art and love becomes a moment of forever. The majority of men and women don't know and understand what the female body is capable of. I don't blame them since even experts in the field don't know and understand it. This art and guide will change your world, whether you are a male or female, read and discover ultimate pleasure with this new art, and I promise, you won’t regret it. I've striven for thoroughness without unnecessary embellishments, maintaining a tone reminiscent of the ancient eastern sexual manuals that serve as the foundation for this content. Any perceived stiffness or antiquated feel in my expression is deliberate, aligning with the traditional style inherent in these materials, however, at times a sense of my modern approach. It is a blending of the new and old, thus creating something more impactful for these times. As you turn the pages, the secrets of the ages will unfurl before you, revealing the ancient practices to harmonize an intimate relationship – emotionally, mentally, and physically. Sex in the ancient East was seen as a sacred ritual between husband and wife, for long-term relationships and to satisfy women. Selfish desire is against their practices. Men prioritize female pleasure and women worship the penis. This is the foundation of what Alveno Plaisir teaches, and it is not merely a new practice to physical pleasure; it is a spiritual dance of love, respect, and profound connection. It celebrates the intertwining of bodies and souls, the exploration of touch, and desire. Here, love (heart) becomes a sacred ritual, and pleasure becomes an awakening of the senses (mind) through stimulation of the nerves on the erogenous zones (body). This book is a journey into the depths of intimate discovery, where we explore the unique sensations and experiences that define distinct forms of orgasm. I aim to provide knowledge and insight, empowering individuals to embrace and celebrate the diversity of female pleasure. Female orgasm, in all its manifestations, is a topic of profound importance because it touches upon the core of human relationships, self-discovery, and well-being. Understanding and embracing the full spectrum of female pleasure not only enhances physical intimacy but also fosters emotional connections and self-confidence. It can lead to healthier, more fulfilling relationships and greater personal satisfaction. However, the topic of female ejaculate, squirting, and gushing orgasms has historically been shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. Many cultures and societies have held various beliefs and attitudes towards female sexuality, leading to a wide array of cultural perceptions and taboos. The history of these topics is a fascinating journey that reveals the influence of cultural, societal, and religious norms on sexual expression. Throughout history, there have been societies that revered female pleasure and celebrated the mysteries of the female orgasm. In contrast, others have stifled discussions, imposed shame, and even denied the existence of certain forms of female orgasm.

Download or read book No Shame for the Sun written by Shahla Haeri and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking work sheds new light on the status, conflicts, and social realities of educated Muslim women in Pakistan. Six candid interviews introduce readers to a class of professional Muslim women that is rarely, if ever, acknowledged in the West. These women tell of conflicts and compromises with family, kin, and community, while facing violence, archaic marriage rules, and locally entrenched codes of conduct. With brave eloquence they speak of human dignity and gender equality, of economic deprivation and social justice, and of feminism and fundamentalism. Challenging stereotypes, No Shame for the Sun reveals the uniqueness of each person and diversity in the life experience of Pakistani Muslim women, including their world views and the struggles to change their society. Through their struggles, professional Pakistani women have become conscious of their own and other women's situations in their country. Because they exercise power and authority in their chosen fields, they risk losing their families' support and antagonizing their communities. Carefully detailed and meticulously researched, this book offers a much-needed perspective on the changing circumstances of Pakistani women along with a view of established patterns and structural constraints within Pakistan. On a broader level, it examines Western misconceptions regarding Islam, a religion that crosses many borders and cultures.
