Download or read book The Hindus written by Wendy Doniger and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing and definitive narrative account of history and myth that offers a new way of understanding one of the world's oldest major religions, The Hindus elucidates the relationship between recorded history and imaginary worlds. Hinduism does not lend itself easily to a strictly chronological account: many of its central texts cannot be reliably dated even within a century; its central tenets karma, dharma, to name just two arise at particular moments in Indian history and differ in each era, between genders, and caste to caste; and what is shared among Hindus is overwhelmingly outnumbered by the things that are unique to one group or another. Yet the greatness of Hinduism - its vitality, its earthiness, its vividness - lies precisely in many of those idiosyncratic qualities that continue to inspire debate today. Wendy Doniger is one of the foremost scholars of Hinduism in the world. With her inimitable insight and expertise Doniger illuminates those moments within the tradition that resist forces that would standardize or establish a canon. Without reversing or misrepresenting the historical hierarchies, she reveals how Sanskrit and vernacular sources are rich in knowledge of and compassion toward women and lower castes; how they debate tensions surrounding religion, violence, and tolerance; and how animals are the key to important shifts in attitudes toward different social classes. The Hindus brings a fascinating multiplicity of actors and stories to the stage to show how brilliant and creative thinkers - many of them far removed from Brahmin authors of Sanskrit texts - have kept Hinduism alive in ways that other scholars have not fully explored. In this unique and authoritative account, debates about Hindu traditions become platforms from which to consider the ironies, and overlooked epiphanies, of history.

Download or read book Flight of the Revelation written by Robert Parsons and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 2091. A few decades have passed since the earth was invaded by an evil alien force led by the reptilian Lord Apollyon. Everything that speaks about God was seized and erased from mankind’s memory, shrouding the earth with a darkness it has never known before. Its only hope lies in the hands of a young leader whose lineage goes back to a charismatic and spiritually gifted man called Jesus. Chris Treborn, son of two heroes who fought against Lord Apollyon’s tyranny, journeys to the constellations, where he discovers his destiny and the truth written in the stars. It is in the constellations of the zodiac that God returns to Chris everything that the evil Lord Apollyon has tried to take away from man—the knowledge about God and man’s relationship with him. Armed with the truth, Chris and his band of followers fulfill a mission to liberate the earth from wickedness, a mission that has been theirs from inception.
Download or read book A Place for Jesus written by Scott P. Mages and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope is an endangered virtue in today’s chaotic world. Yet Christmas provides us with the inspiring reminder that our true hope lies not in the understanding that people can sometimes be good, but that God, who is good, is also faithful and loves us in our unloveliness and graces us in our gracelessness. In a unique guide for Christian travelers, Scott Mages marries the fascinating story of the figures that surround the infant Jesus in that inescapable seasonal tableau of shepherds and wise men, as told through the bible, folk tales, and art, with reflections on the enduring meanings of each. While addressing Christian curiosities like why so many manger scenes display Joseph with staff and lantern and where in the scripture we can find the ox and ass who preceded Mary in artists’ renditions, Mages leads others through the history of the figures of the crèche and their lessons while offering a spiritual preparation for Christmas. Shared for the curious and pious, lovers of odd facts and forgotten legends, and seekers of more than the glitz that often passes for Christmas, A Place for Jesus guides Christians on an inspiring journey to learn and understand the lessons surrounding the figures of the crèche.
