Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Controversial and provocative, The Judas Legacy examines the shadow that hides in all of us, as well as in society and organized religion. Writing from inside the church, with a keen and penetrating voice, author Sandra Rushing illuminates societys collective shadow from a Jungian perspective and reveals the truth that lies beneath the superficial, as well as exposes the hypocrisy and self-righteousness that are so prevalent in American religious and political leadership. From the biblical Judas to contemporary scapegoats, Rushing examines the influence of the shadow and describes how leaders throughout history have used a rhetoric of fear to rationalize their own policies. This is a powerful, incisive study of the dark side of truth. ABOUT THE AUTHOR After spending several decades in the oil and transportation industries, Sandra Rushing became a second-career interim ministry specialist in the Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA). She has worked in eight different regions of the PCUSA, and on the executive staff in two of those regions. She holds a dual degree (Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa) in sociology and political science, and has studied the theory of C. G. Jung extensively. Her book The Magdalene Legacy was used as a resource for a documentary on the life of Christ. Filmed in Israel by a British film company, this film The Living Christ was aired for American audiences on The Learning Channel. She is also the author of a book of poetry Essence of Autumn, a memoir Dancing with a Kitchen Chair, and a liturgical resource book, Sacred Bread and Holy Wine: Communion and Liturgical Poetry.

Book excerpt: Our national leaders want to normalize relations with the sworn enemies of Israel. For pastor and author Dwight Jones, this troubling development is a clear signal that America's longstanding friendship with the nation is hanging by a thread. Changes in our American foreign policy led the author to earnestly petition God for clarity and understanding. The words he received were horrifying: "As Judas betrayed Christ with a kiss and sold him to his enemies, so America will betray Israel and sell her to her enemies " What will happen if America plays the Judas card? Will this bring the wrath of God upon our land? Is there still time for a faithful remnant to emerge? Jones has written The Judas Factor as a prophetic word to America. Readers can follow the author as he treks through the events in the Scriptures, from the Last Supper, through the betrayal of Christ. See what lies ahead for the church as we approach midnight in America.

Book The Texas Legacy of Katherine Anne Porter

Download or read book The Texas Legacy of Katherine Anne Porter written by James T. F. Tanner and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of Porter’s work, Tanner focuses on Porter’s denial of her Texas heritage, her apparent urge to distance herself from Texas and all things Texan. He analyzes Porter’s settings and characters, emphasizing and clarifying the influence of her Texas upbringing on her creative art, exploring the conflict between the Texas Porter and the urbane-sophisticate Porter. Born in Indian Creek, Texas, in 1890, Katherine Anne Porter was always a Texas writer, even though she roamed widely, and seemed to represent, for many readers, a more Southern and genteel facet of Texas culture than they were prepared to accept. Tanner deals with Porter as a Texas story-teller, who, her wanderings over the earth notwithstanding, was a Texas writer first and last.

Book Explaining Hitler

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ron Rosenbaum
  • Publisher : Da Capo Press
  • Release : 2014-07-08
  • ISBN : 0306823195
  • Pages : 521 pages

Download or read book Explaining Hitler written by Ron Rosenbaum and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Explaining Hitler, Ron Rosenbaum investigates the meanings and motivations people have attached to Hitler and his crimes against humanity. What does Hitler tell us about the nature of evil? In often dramatic encounters, Rosenbaum confronts historians, scholars, filmmakers, and deniers as he skeptically analyzes the key strains of Hitler interpretation. A balanced and thoughtful overview of a subject both frightening and profound, this is an extraordinary quest, an expedition into the war zone of Hitler theories, “a provocative work of cultural history that is as compelling as it is thoughtful, as readable as it is smart” (New York Times). First published in 1998 to rave reviews, Explaining Hitler became a New York Times–bestseller. This new edition is an update of that classic and a critically important contribution to the study of the twentieth century's darkest moment.

Book Jesus and his Two Fathers  The Person and the Legacy

Download or read book Jesus and his Two Fathers The Person and the Legacy written by Uri Wernik and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Jesus in real life? What inspired his ideas? What did he aim to achieve? What drew his disciples to him? How was he influenced by them? Unlike the many “quests for the historical Jesus”, as a psychologist, Wernik answers these questions from the perspectives of psychology and the social sciences. This book’s central axis is the theme of the father. It looks at the family constellation into which Jesus was born, where he was raised by a stepfather. It also investigates the relationship he develops with God, his father in heaven; and examines how he became a father figure to his disciples and followers. It is hoped that readers will also think about their own father when reading, the one usually called “dad”. Jesus and His Two Fathers sees Jesus’ love of peace and appeasement doctrine, as well as his difficulty with anger control, in the context of his upbringing and family constellation. Wernik offers a solution to the problem of the “missing years” which were unaccounted in the New Testament. He examines the internal conflicts in Jesus’ movement, and the tensions with the religious establishment, which led to his death. Jesus did not see himself as the Messiah, and Wernik shows him in fact as a great reformer of Judaism, who changed the notions of righteousness, the relation of the believers to God, and the status of the commandments. This book will be of interest to scholars, teachers and students in the humanities and social sciences, among others in the fields of religion, especially Christianity and Judaism. It is aimed at interested discerning readers of non-fiction in these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you could transport yourself back to the first century, walking the dusty streets of Jerusalem, late on Thursday night before Passover? And what if you were tagging along behind eleven men led by Jesus to the Garden of Gethsemane? You'd leave the Upper Room and go deep into the Kidron Valley to the garden. There the temple police and a half-crazed crowd arrive brandishing torches. Jesus is taken to the palace of Annas and then to the High Priest Caiaphas. What insight do we gain from history, archaeology, and most importantly the New Testament about where they lived? In the morning Jesus would be sent to the Chamber of Hewn Stone. What was this place and why is it important to the Passion narratives? On to Pilate's Judgment Hall where new archaeological evidence questions its traditional location. You pick up the trail again on the Via Dolorosa and follow Jesus to Jerusalem's killing field. There you find the Savior dying on a Roman cross. In just a few hours you have followed him from the Upper Room to Joseph's tomb and have gained valuable insight into each stopover to help you on your own journey to Calvary.

Download or read book Illuminating a Legacy written by Lynley Anne Herbert and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology honors Lawrence Nees’ expansive contributions to medieval art historical inquiry and teaching on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Delaware. These essays present a cross-section of recent research by students, colleagues, and friends; the breadth of subjects explored demonstrates the pertinence of Nees’ distinctive approach and methodology centering human agency and creativity. The contributions follow three main threads: Establishing Identity, Patronage and Politics, and Beyond the Canon. Some authors draw upon Nees’ systematic analysis of iconographic idiosyncrasies and ornamental schemes, whether adorning manuscripts or monumental edifices, which elucidates their unique visual and material characteristics. Others apply a Neesian engagement with the complex dynamics of cultural exchange, visual manifestations of political ambitions and ideologies, and selective mining of the classical past. Ultimately, this collection aims to illustrate the impact of Nees’ transformative scholarship, and to celebrate his legacy in the field of medieval art history.
