Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the mysticism of John in its historical context and puts forward evidence that the mysticism developed in this text is the result of the textualization of a dialogue between the Johannine and Thomasine Christians on the subject of soteriology. This book not only sheds new light on the development of Johannine ideology, but also forges a new path in New Testament sociorhetorical criticism, particularly by developing the field of tradition intertexture.

Book excerpt: In Mystics, William Harmless, S.J., introduces readers to the scholarly study of mysticism. He explores both mystics' extraordinary lives and their no-less-extraordinary writings using a unique case-study method centered on detailed examinations of six major Christian mystics: Thomas Merton, Bernard of Clairvaux, Hildegard of Bingen, Bonaventure, Meister Eckhart, and Evagrius Ponticus. Rather than presenting mysticism as a subtle web of psychological or theological abstractions, Harless's case-study approach brings things down to earth, restoring mystics to their historical context.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Mystics: A Sequel to 'Many Voices' Mysticism has been termed 'the natural produce of the soil of Spain.' It breathes not only in her theology, but in her literature and in her fine arts. Sharp contrasts of climate, tastes, and habits are to be found in the different provinces of the Iberian Peninsula, but to the student of Spanish history one prevailing element pervades the whole and seems to unite the opposing forces. It is this religious sentiment which is everywhere predominant, and which has ever formed an integral part of the national character. In the early annals of Spain the nation was not exempt from the taint of Arianism; but when, in the sixth century, under her Gothic king, Recared, she renounced its errors and accepted the orthodox faith preached by Leander and Isidore, every power was thenceforth devoted to the maintenance of that Catholic faith with which her greatness became indissolubly united. The wars which she waged were in defence of orthodoxy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Mystics of Mile End written by Sigal Samuel and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sigal Samuel’s debut novel, in the vein of Nicole Krauss’s bestselling The History of Love, is an imaginative story that delves into the heart of Jewish mysticism, faith, and family. “This is not an ordinary tree I am making. “This,” he said, “this is the Tree of Knowledge.” In the half-Hasidic, half-hipster Montreal neighborhood of Mile End, eleven-year-old Lev Meyer is discovering that there may be a place for Judaism in his life. As he learns about science in his day school, Lev begins his own extracurricular study of the Bible’s Tree of Knowledge with neighbor Mr. Katz, who is building his own Tree out of trash. Meanwhile his sister Samara is secretly studying for her Bat Mitzvah with next-door neighbor and Holocaust survivor, Mr. Glassman. All the while his father, David, a professor of Jewish mysticism, is a non-believer. When, years later, David has a heart attack, he begins to believe God is speaking to him. While having an affair with one of his students, he delves into the complexities of Kabbalah. Months later Samara, too, grows obsessed with the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life—hiding her interest from those who love her most–and is overcome with reaching the Tree’s highest heights. The neighbors of Mile End have been there all along, but only one of them can catch her when she falls.
Download or read book The Voice of Isis written by Harriette Augusta Curtiss and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Voice of Isis: By the Teacher of the Order of Christian Mystics The first edition of The Voice of Isis was put forth in the nature of an experiment to determine whether or not occult students of today would appreciate a new interpretation of the world-old esoteric principles of the Wisdom Religion couched in simple language, recognizing the occult and mystical side of the Christian scriptures and embracing the scientific advances of the twentieth century. The speedy sale of that edition answered the above question in a most positive manner. It also supported our claim that the Wisdom Religion is the one World-religion back of all and, being a systematized expression of cosmic verities, can be interpreted in terms of the most advanced thought, and meet the spiritual needs, of any age; for it comprehends and anticipates in the principles of its philosophy all the discoveries, advances and attainments of which man is capable in this world-period. The hearty reception accorded this volume of spiritual philosophy, among all classes of readers also shows that in spite of the scientific, materialistic, and godless education of the day, there is a great spiritual and psychic awakening taking place; that the human heart is as hungry as ever for direct communion with the super-physical planes of consciousness as a personal experience, and that the human mind is as unsatisfied as ever with purely mechanistic and materialistic conceptions of the universe, and reaches out as eagerly for, and is more than ever ready to accept, a spiritual philosophy which includes all that materialistic science can reveal, and which is presented in a rational and common sense manner.

Download or read book Hearing Spiritual Voices written by Christopher C.H. Cook and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores unusual perceptual, or perception-like, experiences. These are often meaningful to those who have them and may be sympathetically or unsympathetically interpreted by others. One interpretation, especially when voices are associated with unusual behaviour, is that they are evidence of mental disorder. Ostensibly such interpretations are sympathetic (showing concern for someone who is ill) but in practice they are used to deny the meaning and value of the experiences for those concerned, thus depriving them (and others) of creative and innovative ways of understanding the human condition. The question is thus one of the meaning. Are such experiences meaningful only as indicators of a diagnosis, or are they meaningful in other ways, shedding light on human self-understanding and perhaps even a wider spiritual reality? Psychiatry has tended to see such phenomena as diagnostically meaningful but not as sources of deeper insight into the human condition. This book takes three 14th century examples of women who heard spiritually significant voices: Margery Kempe, Julian of Norwich, and Joan of Arc. Each of these women, in different ways, has left an enduring legacy in literature and history. Modern psychiatric commentary on the voices that they reported has generally focussed on diagnosis rather than on wider questions of meaning. These commentaries will be used as a lens through which to consider how contemporary psychiatric practice might be enriched by the humanities and enabled to find a more spiritually empathetic, if not also sympathetic, enriching and meaning enhancing perspective on unusual mental phenomena.
