Download or read book The Growth and Spreading of Heresy written by Thomas Hodges and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 2 Peter 2:2, “And many shall follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of,” Hodges skillfully and biblically explains the growth of heresy and its nature in relation to the church. He shows how all professing Christians ought to hold steadfastly to the truth, no matter what “new light” is introduced to them, and instead, desire the old paths of God’s infallible word. Heresies are destructive, which infect the unsuspecting mind. The church ought to be staunchly guarding against them. Many heretical opinions have risen up by the subtle working of the devil to infect the church throughout the ages, but God’s Fatherly providence has raised up bold teachers and preachers to destroy these pernicious infections by the faithful preaching of the word. Hodges further exhorts the reader to battle heresy by getting their minds furnished with saving, wholesome fundamental principles of religion, which are only found in truth’s record, which is the Word of God. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Download or read book Heresy Literature and Politics in Early Modern English Culture written by David Loewenstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-21 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume of essays brings together a team of leading early modern historians and literary scholars in order to examine the changing conceptions, character, and condemnation of 'heresy' in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Definitions of 'heresy' and 'heretics' were the subject of heated controversies in England from the English Reformation to the end of the seventeenth century. These essays illuminate the significant literary issues involved in both defending and demonising heretical beliefs, including the contested hermeneutic strategies applied to the interpretation of the Bible, and they examine how debates over heresy stimulated the increasing articulation of arguments for religious toleration in England. Offering fresh perspectives on John Milton, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and others, this volume should be of interest to all literary, religious and political historians working on early modern English culture.

Download or read book The Visnu Purana written by and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viṣṇu is a central deity in the Hindu pantheon, especially in his manifestation as the seductive cattle-herding youth, Kṛṣṇa. The purāṇas are sacred texts, which, as the Sanskrit name implies, are collections of narratives from ‘long ago’. The Viṣṇu Purāṇa is thus an ancient account of the universe and guide to life, which places Viṣṇu-Kṛṣṇa at the centre of creation, theology and reality itself. This text, composed about 1,500 years ago, provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the most important themes and narratives that constitute the Hindu imagination: the creation and destruction of the universe, the origin of gods and mortals, the peopling of the world, and the structure and conduct of ideal brahminical society. The Viṣṇu Purāṇa describes the trials of exemplary devotees, the existential struggles between gods and demons, and the exploits of legendary cultural heroes. It also contains many ecstatic songs of praise for the deity. The ever-popular accounts of Kṛṣṇa’s love games with the cattle-herding girls of Vṛṇdāvana, which have proliferated in literature, dance, song and visual arts over the millennia, are found here in authoritative form. This faithful yet fluent blank-verse rendering of this great Hindu classic is the first new English translation in nearly 200 years. It will be welcomed by the scholarly community, while remaining readily accessible to a general readership.

Download or read book The Cathars written by Malcolm Barber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the twelfth century, the Catholic Church became convinced that dualist heresy was taking root within Christian society and that it was particularly strong in southern France. The nature and extent of this heresy and the reaction of the Church to the perceived threat have been the focus of extensive research since the mid-nineteenth century, research which has become especially intense in the last decade. Malcolm Barber's second edition of The Cathars (which first appeared in 2000) brings readers up-to-date with the challenges to previous conclusions of recent scholarship. At the same time, the wider implications of the subject remain relevant, most importantly the fundamental questions raised by the belief in the existence of evil, the ethical problems presented by the use of coercion to suppress forms of dissent believed to threaten the social and religious fabric, and the distortion of the past to underpin present-day policies and arguments.
