Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lost Tribes and the Saxons of the East and of the West, With New Views of Buddhism, and Translations of Rock-Records in India The history of the world predicts the consummation of all history in a higher standing of our common humanity. The darkness of the past is, to become the enlightenment of the future. Hence with every prophecy, of good or of evil, we find a picture of the moral condition on which that prophecy is grounded; and the general upshot of all foreseeing is a vision that reveals the dominion of knowledge over ignorance, and of light over darkness. There are, however, specific predictions in that marvellous Book on which Christians found their faith, and the fulfilment of such predictions has hitherto sustained the authority of that Book, not only as a record, but as a means of throwing light into the dark passages of current history, onwards to the end. It is with a feeling that the truth of that Book will, in some slight degree, be elucidated by this volume, that the attention of the general reader is solicited to the subject of it, which, though interesting in itself to in B.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ... and we have so strong a desire to maintain that all Scripture shall be fulfilled, even as Christ has declared, to the jots and the titles, as to insist that this Scripture must have received fulfilment, though in our blindness (Romans xi.) we have hitherto failed to discover in what way, therefore, we boldly declare that The Identity conclusively proves the truth of this Scripture, and that we Saxons inherit this very name of Saxons from Isaac. It is entirely in accordance with the old usage of cutting off the prefix and adding an affix: that of taking away the prefix "I" in Isaac, and adding the affix "ons" we obtain in the word Saxons nothing more than the "Sons of Isaac;" so that we, being identical with lost Israel, fulfil Scripture by our Saxon name, which is a standing testimony that our seed has been called in Isaac. This was to be only Israel's lot; it is only ours; ergo, we must be Israel. israel must be god'S inheritance. Identification The Forty-seventh. An inheritance is a possession. With us the term is confined to property; each person's inheritance is something localized separate and distinct from properties adjoining. But the Lord has been pleased to apply the term to a people. He careth not for funds, or estates; but, in looking down upon the different nations, He has selected one--only one--out of the many, to become his peculiar possession--His inheritance. It pleased him to accept the prayers of one man, to take the people of Israel as His own inheritance; for Moses said, "If now I have found grace in Thy sight, O, Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us, for it is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and Take Us For Thine Inheritance" (Exod. xxxiv. 9). The Lord did this; for Moses told the...

Download or read book The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in HIstorical Outline written by D D Kosambi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1965, The Culture and Civilisation of Ancient India in Historical Outline is a strikingly original work, the first real cultural history of India. The main features of the Indian character are traced back into remote antiquity as the natural outgrowth of historical process. Did the change from food gathering and the pastoral life to agriculture make new religions necessary? Why did the Indian cities vanish with hardly a trace and leave no memory? Who were the Aryans – if any? Why should Buddhism, Jainism, and so many other sects of the same type come into being at one time and in the same region? How could Buddhism spread over so large a part of Asia while dying out completely in the land of its origin? What caused the rise and collapse of the Magadhan empire; was the Gupta empire fundamentally different from its great predecessor, or just one more ‘oriental despotism’? These are some of the many questions handled with great insight, yet in the simplest terms, in this stimulating work. This book will be of interest to students of history, sociology, archaeology, anthropology, cultural studies, South Asian studies and ethnic studies.

Download or read book The Mists of R ma a written by Michael A. Aung-Thwin and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long accepted the belief that a Theravada Buddhist Mon kingdom, Rāmaññadesa, flourished in coastal Lower Burma until it was conquered in 1057 by King Aniruddha of Pagan—which then became, in essence, the new custodian and repository of Mon culture in the Upper Burmese interior. This scenario, which Aung-Thwin calls the "Mon Paradigm," has circumscribed much of the scholarship on early Burma and significantly shaped the history of Southeast Asia for more than a century. Now, in a masterful reassessment of Burmese history, Michael Aung-Thwin reexamines the original contemporary accounts and sources without finding any evidence of an early Theravada Mon polity or a conquest by Aniruddha. The paradigm, he finds, cannot be sustained. How, when, and why did the Mon Paradigm emerge? Aung-Thwin meticulously traces the paradigm's creation to the merging of two temporally, causally, and contextually unrelated Mon and Burmese narratives, which were later synthesized in English by colonial officials and scholars. Thus there was no single originating source, only a late and mistaken conflation of sources. The conceptual, methodological, and empirical ramifications of these findings are significant. The prevalent view that state-formation began in the maritime regions of Southeast Asia with trade and commerce rather than in the interior with agriculture must now be reassessed. In addition, a more rigorous look at the actual scope and impact of a romanticized Mon culture in the region is required. Other issues important to the field of early Burma and Southeast Asian studies, including the process of "Indianization," the characterization of "classical" states, and the advent and spread of Theravada Buddhism, are also directly affected by Aung-Thwin’s work. Finally, it provides a geo-political, cultural, and economic alternative to what has become an ethnic interpretation of Burma’s history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on A People’s History of the United States, this radical world history captures the broad sweep of human history from the perspective of struggling classes. An “indispensable volume” on class and capitalism throughout the ages—for readers reckoning with the history they were taught and history as it truly was (Howard Zinn) From the earliest human societies to the Holy Roman Empire, from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, from the Industrial Revolution to the end of the twentieth century, Chris Harman provides a brilliant and comprehensive history of the human race. Eschewing the standard accounts of “Great Men,” of dates and kings, Harman offers a groundbreaking counter-history, a breathtaking sweep across the centuries in the tradition of “history from below.” In a fiery narrative, he shows how ordinary men and women were involved in creating and changing society and how conflict between classes was often at the core of these developments. While many scholars see the victory of capitalism as now safely secured, Harman explains the rise and fall of societies and civilizations throughout the ages and demonstrates that history moves ever onward in every age. A vital corrective to traditional history, A People's History of the World is essential reading for anyone interested in how society has changed and developed and the possibilities for further radical progress.
