Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]and boasted widely of the burning. He perchance forgot that Hakon had other sons. "But now, Helgi, we must sleep while we may; nights may come when we shall want it." For six days and six nights they sailed with a favouring wind over an empty ocean. On the seventh day land was sighted on the starboard bow. "Can that be England?" asked old Ulf, Estein's forecastle man, a hairy, hugely muscular Viking from the far northern fiords. "The coast of Scotland more likely," said Helgi. "Shall we try our luck, Estein?" "I should like to spill a little Scottish blood, and mayhap carry off a maid or two," said Thorolf Hauskoldson, a young giant from the upland dales. "It may be but a waste of time," Estein replied. "We had best make for England while this wind holds." "I like not the look of the sky," said Ulf, gazing round him with a frowning brow. The wind had been dropping off for some time, and along the eastern horizon the settled sky was giving place to heavy clouds. For a short time Estein hesitated, but as the outlook grew more threatening and the wind beat in flaws and gusts, now from one quarter, [...]."

Download or read book The Church Impotent written by Leon J. Podles and published by Spence Publishing Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current preoccupation with the role of women in the church obscures the more serious problem of the perennial absence of men. This provocative book argues that Western churches have become women's clubs, that the emasculation of Christianity is dangerous for the church and society, and that a masculine presence can and must be restored.After documenting the highly feminized state of Western Christianity, Dr. Podles identifies the masculine traits that once characterized the Christian life but are now commonly considered incompatible with it. He contends that though masculinity has been marginalized within Christianity, it cannot be expunged from human society. If detached from Christianity, it reappears as a substitute religion, with unwholesome and even horrific consequences. The church, too, is diminished by its emasculation. Dr. Podles concludes by considering how Christianity's virility might be restored.In the otherwise stale and overworked field of gender studies, The Church Impotent is the only book to confront the lopsidedly feminine cast of modern Christianity with a profound analysis of its historical and sociological roots.
