Book excerpt: REINCARNATION...HERETICAL BUT INEVITABLE In 553 AD, Justinian I, the sanctimonious ruler of the decaying Roman Empire, held Pope Vigilius prisoner until the church leader consented to sign the decrees of the imperial Council of Constantinople. So, with the stroke of the papal pen, anyone who believed in the ancient doctrine that souls existed before the present body's birth or reincarnated after its death were declared anathema; that is, excommunicated and subject to persecution. This little-know historical fact has prejudiced the western world against reincarnation right up to the present. In 1879, Richard Strawn, a Philadelphia businessman disowned by his Quaker brethren for serving in the Civil War as a medic, has to come to terms with his teenage daughter Jennifers conviction that she was once a fabulous queen and he, her partner, the king, or concur with his wife, Lucinda, that the girl is dangerously insane.Burying his head by day in work and at night at the pubs, he defers the decision, betting that time will either cure Jennifer's fantasies or soften Lucinda's intransigence. Then, just when a truce appears to be holding between mother and daughter, nightmarish events erupt around Richard. A fire destroys the business he manages, and he is blamed. He escapes town, drunk and despondent, only to be pursued by a dream in which he is indeed a king, but a cowardly one about to capitulate to a revolting faction.Lucinda takes advantage of his absence to have Jennifer committed to an asylum. With luck, which materializes as randomly as misfortune, Richard rescues the girl. In the quiet place he takes her to recover, she too dreams of the revolt against them as royal rulers long ago. Compelled by such coincidence, the two sometimes in tandem, sometimes in oppositionset out to discover what binds them to the ill-fated 6th-century emperor, Justinian, and his empress, Theodora. Her recent efforts to undermine her husband and daughter foiled, Lucinda ferrets out their mission. After identifying herself with a powerful and destructive sorceress in the imperial story, she plots to use similar magic to destroy the reincarnated pair, thus proving to them and to all who would meddle with the dead that history indeed repeats itself, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.THE ANATHEMAS weaves the religious controversy about reincarnation into a multi-lifetime saga of conspiracy, redemption and ultimately love. A novel, yet it is firmly based on history, notably Procopius's Secret History and Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. With the pace of a thriller, it portrays the essentially spiritual adventure of man and woman coming face-to-face with the life-and-death experience.FROM READERS TO THE AUTHORI am convinced THE ANATHEMAS should be on the shelves next to Dan Brown. The characters morphed into family members in my dreams at night and invaded my thoughts during the day. Now thats a good book! L.B., OregonI got engrossed in the book...and lost my weekend! I am assuming you imbedded the facts you found researching the story accurately. I mean to say, I can use it as a sort of history lesson? In that case, I learned quite a bit. Interesting and thought-provoking. N.B. FloridaYour text is not only erudite but exceedingly engaging. I usually only have time to pleasure read in the evening before lights out and I must say you have made me resist sleep with your text. S.B., Quebec, Canada

Download or read book A History of Early Christian Creeds written by Wolfram Kinzig and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 881 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of early Christian creeds contains an up-to-date account of their origin and development from the credal texts in the New Testament to the fully fledged classical formulae of the 4th century. It includes the creeds’ use and alteration in subsequent periods until the time of Charlemagne and the beginnings of the filioque controversy. In addition, the author provides a scholarly commentary on the most common ancient confessions: the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed. Going beyond previous studies, the book contains chapters dedicated to the use of creeds in law, art, music, everyday life and even magic. Recently discovered source texts, such as a new Ethiopic version of the Roman Creed and a short recension of the Creed of Nicaea-Constantinople, receive extensive treatment. Credal developments in the eastern churches beyond the borders of the Roman Empire complete this comprehensive overview. This volume is intended both as a textbook for advanced students of theology and cognate disciplines and as a reference book on the creeds in a wide range of contexts. All source texts are accompanied by modern English translations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 1800, edinoverie (translated as "unity in faith") was intended to draw back those who had broken with the Russian Orthodox Church over ritual reforms in the 17th century. Called Old Believers, they had been persecuted as heretics. In time, the Russian state began tolerating Old Believers in order to lure them out of hiding and make use of their financial resources as a means of controlling and developing Russia's vast and heterogeneous empire. However, the Russian Empire was also an Orthodox state, and conversion from Orthodoxy constituted a criminal act. So, which was better for ensuring the stability of the Russian Empire: managing heterogeneity through religious toleration, or enforcing homogeneity through missionary campaigns? Edinoverie remained contested and controversial throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, as it was distrusted by both the Orthodox Church and the Old Believers themselves. The state reinforced this ambivalence, using edinoverie as a means by which to monitor Old Believer communities and employing it as a carrot to the stick of prison, exile, and the deprivation of rights. In Unity in Faith?, James White's study of edinoverie offers an unparalleled perspective of the complex triangular relationship between the state, the Orthodox Church, and religious minorities in imperial Russia.
