This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significantly expanded and updated—a lively excursion into Japanese folklore and its increasing influence within global popular culture. Monsters, spirits, fantastic beings, and supernatural creatures haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan. Broadly labeled yōkai, they appear in many forms, from tengu mountain goblins and kappa water sprites, to shape-shifting kitsune foxes and long-tongued ceiling-lickers. Popular today in anime, manga, film, and video games, many yōkai originated in local legends, folktales, and regional ghost stories. The Book of Yōkai invites readers to examine how people create, transmit, and collect folklore, and how they make sense of the mysteries in the world around them. Revised and expanded, this second edition features fifty new illustrations, including an all-new yōkai gallery of stunning color images tracing the visual history of yōkai across centuries. In clear and accessible language, Michael Dylan Foster unpacks the cultural and historical contexts of yōkai, interpreting their varied meanings and introducing people who have pursued them through the ages.

Download or read book Who Do You Say I Am written by George Kalantzis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human existence is a bodily existence. A first principle of historic Christianity has been that Jesus assumed our humanity and everything essential to it in order that God may redeem all of our existence. Christ is the revelation of God and the revelation of true humanity. As we seek to understand our embodied experiences of the world and one another we do so in light of the embodied life of Jesus Christ. Jesus's humanity shows us what it means to live an embodied human life rightly and how we, as embodied human beings, can relate to the world around us. In this book we invite readers to explore with us why the humanity of Jesus is central to the Christian understanding of community, society, salvation, and life with God. Over the span of these ten chapters this book draws from biblical, historic, and cultural discussions as it enters into the breadth of the significance of the humanity of Jesus and explores how the reality of the Incarnation challenges and redeems our broken social structures, racial and ethnic divisions, economic systems, and sexuality.

Download or read book Who Do They Say I Am Expanded 2nd Edition written by Demetric Muhammad and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite powerful forces converging to thwart the necessary and effective ministry of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, he yet has amassed a long record of impacting and positively affecting the most prominent and important men and women throughout America and the world. This book catalogs the scores of character witnesses for Minister Farrakhan, whose candid, heartfelt and sincere testimonies create an entirely new picture of our beloved Minister that you will not find in the mainstream media.Reading these testimonies from a veritable Who's Who in American politics, religion and popular culture, the reader is able to see the real Farrakhan emerge from behind the walls of the "prison of public opinion" that groups like the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center have sought to bind him in. Yes, for the first time we have character witness testimonies giving birth to a new picture; a clearer picture; a true picture of Minister Farrakhan that puts his heroic and principled leadership on display.This record and thoroughly documented source-book exists as a seminal work and is a tribute to the divine intervention that must be credited with helping The Minister to escape and overcome a "prison of public opinion"-the vestiges of which are still extant. Such an ominous and wickedly designed "prison" is in truth a well-orchestrated character assassination that was designed by its architects to facilitate and foster an actual physical assassination of our beloved Minister.In addition to the catalog of testimonies you will also enjoy our analysis and historical research that deconstructs, debunks and eviscerates many of the popular "anti-Farrakhan" slanders and skullduggeries.We invite you to read this work and to share it and recommend it to any and all who want to be introduced to or learn more about the man that we simply and affectionately call "The Minister."

Download or read book The Story Is True Second Edition Revised and Expanded written by Bruce Jackson and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Story Is True, folklorist, filmmaker, and professor of English Bruce Jackson explores the ways we use the stories that become a central part of our public and private lives. Describing and explaining how stories are made and used, Jackson examines how stories narrate and bring meaning to our lives. Jackson writes about his family and friends, acquaintances, and experiences, focusing on more than a dozen personal stories. From oral histories to public stories—such as what happened when Bob Dylan "went electric" at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival—Jackson gets at how the "truth" is constantly shifting depending on the perspective, memory, and social meaning that is ascribed to various events—both real and imaginary. The book is ideal for students and writers of oral history and storytelling but goes beyond those topics to encompass how we interpret and understand the real-life "stories" that we encounter in our daily experience. This edition includes new sections on how stories are related to historical facts and new chapters on contemporary films (expanding the discussion of visual storytelling) and on conspiracy narratives and Trump's Big Lie. Fresh examples tie together new material with the existing stories.

Download or read book Ethics for a Brave New World Second Edition Updated and Expanded written by John S. Feinberg and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aldous Huxley's 1932 book Brave New World foresees a world in which technological advances have obliterated morality and freedom. John Feinberg and Paul Feinberg, in the first edition of Ethics for a Brave New World, noted how Huxley landed frighteningly close to the truth. Their book responded to ethical crises such as abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and genetic engineering by looking to Scripture for principles to guide us through the moral quagmires of our time. Now dramatically updated and expanded, this edition of Ethics for a Brave New World seeks to maintain the relevance, rigorous scholarship, and biblical faithfulness of the first edition. While many of the topics covered in the book remain the same, John Feinberg has revised each chapter to keep it current with contemporary trends and to respond to the most recent scholarship. There is a new chapter on stem cell research and greatly expanded material on issues such as homosexuality and genetic engineering. This important resource will be a valuable guide for students and those seeking answers to ethical dilemmas.

Download or read book Genesis Your Journey Home 2Nd Edition written by Terry L. Newbegin and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2011-04-21 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genesis: Your Journey Home is a groundbreaking book that goes far beyond the usual levels of biblical interpretations, and the ideas taught by religion that are difficult to understand. It bypasses word definition, root studies, historical explanations, and the ideas taught by religion that are difficult to understand but are important. This book examines the first twenty-five chapters, verse by verse, exploring and revealing the deeper metaphysical (beyond the literal) meaning of the text. Most people know that there are multiple levels of truth contained within the Bible, but until now none have brought forth the ultimate Truth hidden within the mundane, semi-historical writings. Rather than creating new doctrines, this book gently peels back ALL levels of dogmatic views to reveal the true core essence of God, humanity, and the nature of reality. Deep within the ancient biblical text is found the true story (record) of creation, the reason for our very existence, and the history of All That IS. This book is for those that are searching for authenticity, purpose, and a sense that truth lies somewhere beyond religious teachings but who are reluctant to discard the inherent value of scripture. This book brings comfort, personal empowerment, a new understanding of God, and fosters a renewed sense of responsibility for life. It is a book whose time has come at last, as it brings humanity to a deeper understanding of God and a realization of their ultimate purpose.

Download or read book The Latino Migration Experience in North Carolina Revised and Expanded Second Edition written by Hannah Gill and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now thoroughly updated and revised—with a new chapter on the Dreamer movement and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program (DACA)—this book offers North Carolinians a better understanding of their Latino neighbors, illuminating rather than enflaming debates on immigration. In the midst of a tumultuous political environment, North Carolina continues to feature significant in-migration of Mexicans and Latin Americans from both outside and inside the United States. Drawing on the voices of migrants as well as North Carolinians from communities affected by migration, Hannah Gill explains how larger social forces are causing demographic shifts, how the state is facing the challenges and opportunities presented by these changes, and how migrants experience the economic and social realities of their lives. Gill makes connections between our hometowns and the globalization of people, money, technology, and culture by shedding light on the many diverse North Carolina residents who are such a vital part of the state's population but are often unrecognized in many ways. This book is essential for everyone, including students and teachers, who wants to understand what is at stake for all parties and wants to work toward solutions.
