Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eternal Galilean This is Christmas eve! In tens of thousands of homes tonight there is gaiety and gladness; gardens come to the Windows in the form of wreaths, and forests into parlors in the form of trees; the chil dren's long advent is ended as they jump with joy about their toys: the very atmosphere is charged with cheer; love sparkles, gifts abound, greetings exchange, hearts soften. Everywhere there IS a new spirit, a new life, a new hope, a new joy! But What is it all about? Why are people mak ing merry? Why call this a season of joy? There must be some reason for it. I can understand why We shoot off firecrackers on the Fourth of July, be cause that is the day we celebrate the shot of liberty that was heard 'round the world; I can understand why we are silent for a few moments on Armistice Day, for that is the day we pay tribute to the heroes of our battlefields. I can understand a man making a great feast because he has come into a fortune. But I cannot imagine him doing so if his fortune is only a joke.

Download or read book The Galilean Gospel Classic Reprint written by Alexander Balmain Bruce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Galilean Gospel This book is not a miscellaneous collection of sermons, gleaned from a ministry of sixteen years, and strung together by a catching title. It is intended to serve a definite purpose, and the greater part Of the contents has been written expressly for this publication. My aim has been to convey as vivid an idea as possible of the Gospel Christ preached, and above all of the evangelic spirit as reflected in His teaching and life. I believe that this will meet a want of our time, and will be welcomed by many. While there is little in the actual Christianity of our day, or in the state of the churches to awaken enthusiasm, it is rest-giving to go back to the beginning of the Chris tian era, and drink of the pure wells of truth Opened in Galilee in the days of the Son of Man. Reflecting on the baleful controversies Of centuries, and the tragic divi sions resulting therefrom, on the theological schools and their conflicting oracles, the sigh involuntarily escapes from the breast, Oh that I had wings like a dove, that I might fly away to Jesus of Nazareth, and forget the windy storms Of human Opinions and passions! He does not disappoint the weary heart. In His teaching is eternal wisdom in Himself, perennial beauty. What one has found he will desire to communicate to others, in the belief that it must be good for all to know the authen tic Gospel preached ih Galilee, and the type of piety ex emplified by the Preacher. Here, as in all things, Jesus must be the model. Attempts may legitimately be made to define, by historical examples, the characteristics Of evangelical religion but the surest and most direct road to this knowledge is to study the words and ways of Him who, just because He is at the fountain-head anterior to.

Download or read book Galileo and His Judges Classic Reprint written by F. R. Wegg-Prosser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Galileo and His Judges There is no name in the annals of science which has been the occasion of so long and fierce a controversy as that of Galileo. The historian, the astronomer, and the theologian have all had a share in it. Some times there has been a pause in the strife, and the question has been allowed to rest; but after a while another disputant has rekindled the embers, and the struggle has recommenced. This has been the case within the last few years, some writers of considerable ability having appealed to the history of Galileo in order to give point to opinions that they wished to advance. During all this time, if there has been unfairness on one side, there have been injudicious zeal and inaccuracy on the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Galilee The foreign student. Who visits a country for research alone, gains, it is true, much advantage from the concentration of his attention upon the particular lines of history or of physical science in which he is already expert. But his impressions of the life of nature or of man cannot be so numerous nor always so just as those received by the cultured resident and servant to the needs of the people. To the latter things happen, lights break, and materials and powers of judg ment are given which are not possible to the more or less rapid traveler, with limited time, a fixed itinerary, and few opportunities of repeating and crossing his routes. In the case even of the most learned and judicious of travelers errors of fact and defects in proportion are inevit able. A resident in the country has the means of correcting these errors and of providing a more just perspective of the whole land.

Download or read book Letters to Father written by Suor Maria Celeste and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating letters of Galileo's eldest daughter to her father Placed in a convent at the age of thirteen, Virginia Galilei, Galileo’s eldest daughter, wrote to her father continually. Now Dava Sobel has translated into English all 124 surviving letters that Virginia (renamed Suor Maria Celeste at the convent) wrote to Galileo. The letters span a dramatic decade that included the Thirty Years’ War, the bubonic plague, and the development of Galileo’s own universe-changing discoveries. Suor Maria Celeste’s letters touch on these events, but mostly they focus on details of everyday life that connect her and her father: descriptions of confections she sent to him; news of his estate, which she managed while he was on trial; a request for Galileo to fix the convent clock. Her prose reveals an exceptional woman and presents a memorable portrait of deep affection between a father and daughter.

Download or read book Makers of Western Science written by Todd Timmons and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-scientists often perceive science as a dry, boring vocation pursued by dry, boring people. Contrary to popular perception, science has actually been the product of fascinating people seeking to explain the world around them. From Galileo's difficulties with the Inquisition, to the quirkiness of Newton, to the iconic figure that was Einstein, this innovative volume chronicles the history of science using extensive passages from the works of the scientists themselves. Who better to appeal to our common sense concerning the truth of a sun-centered universe than Copernicus himself? Kepler expresses in his own words the way in which he awoke to the revelation of elliptical orbits, and Darwin shares his slowly evolving ideas leading to the theory of natural selection. Part biography, part history, this work reveals the personalities behind the world's most significant scientific discoveries, providing an interesting new perspective on the human endeavor we call science.

Download or read book The Eternal City written by Ferdinand Addis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent and definitive history of the Eternal City, narrated by a master historian. Why does Rome continue to exert a hold on our imagination? How did the "Caput mundi" come to play such a critical role in the development of Western civilization? Ferdinand Addis addresses these questions by tracing the history of the "Eternal City" told through the dramatic key moments in its history: from the mythic founding of Rome in 753 BC, via such landmarks as the murder of Caesar in 44 BC, the coronation of Charlemagne in AD 800 and the reinvention of the imperial ideal, the painting of the Sistine chapel, the trial of Galileo, Mussolini's March on Rome of 1922, the release of Fellini's La Dolce Vita in 1960, and the Occupy riots of 2011. City of the Seven Hills, spiritual home of Catholic Christianity, city of the artistic imagination, enduring symbol of our common European heritage—Rome has inspired, charmed, and tempted empire-builders, dreamers, writers, and travelers across the twenty-seven centuries of its existence. Ferdinand Addis tells this rich story in a grand narrative style for a new generation of readers.
