Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women of the Cell and Cloister This beauty of the desert, which has found its most perfect description in modern times, must insensibly have affected the thoughts and aspirations of the ancient Fathers. Green, the colour of life, that in Northern climes lays soothing touch upon weary eyes and brain, was absent from the picture unless, indeed, the vivid emerald of the garden of Egypt entered into the anchorite's distant perspective, intensified in tone by the black Nile, and perhaps by a ash of dark blue sea. In that air of telescopic clearness, the far mountains burned with the glow and definition of missal illuminations - incandescent scarlet and aming violet the very stones of the desert, amid the pale undulations of sand, shone orange and amber and black and purple, as if they were damp with water. White stones, heaved up by some convulsion at the beginning of time, assumed through incalculable ages strange and stranger shapes: they peopled the place with shadows of fearful intensity. But not always was the desert sharp-cut in outline sometimes the mountains would become uprooted, and oat, pink and lilac, in blue haze or liquid mists of grey-rose, or molten gold would fill the wastes with a soft or dazzling glory. The effect of such scenes on the mind can only be described in paradox. In these vast solitudes and unbroken silences man felt himself infinitely little and infinitely great the changing Splendours, divorced from all human occupations and human needs, crushed, and at the same time exalted him.

Book excerpt: Described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas, the Swiss pastor and theologian, Karl Barth, continues to be a major influence on students, scholars and preachers today. Barth's theology found its expression mainly through his closely reasoned fourteen-part magnum opus, Die Kirchliche Dogmatik. Having taken over 30 years to write, the Church Dogmatics is regarded as one of the most important theological works of all time, and represents the pinnacle of Barth's achievement as a theologian.
Download or read book Imagining Women s Conventual Spaces in France 1600 1800 written by Barbara R. Woshinsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending history and architecture with literary analysis, this ground-breaking study explores the convent's place in the early modern imagination. The author brackets her account between two pivotal events: the Council of Trent imposing strict enclosure on cloistered nuns, and the French Revolution expelling them from their cloisters two centuries later. In the intervening time, women within convent walls were both captives and refugees from an outside world dominated by patriarchal power and discourses. Yet despite locks and bars, the cloister remained "porous" to privileged visitors. Others could catch a glimpse of veiled nuns through the elaborate grills separating cloistered space from the church, provoking imaginative accounts of convent life. Not surprisingly, the figure of the confined religious woman represents an intensified object of desire in male-authored narrative. The convent also spurred "feminutopian" discourses composed by women: convents become safe houses for those fleeing bad marriages or trying to construct an ideal, pastoral life, as a counter model to the male-dominated court or household. Recent criticism has identified certain privileged spaces that early modern women made their own: the ruelle, the salon, the hearth of fairy tale-telling. Woshinsky's book definitively adds the convent to this list.

Book excerpt: Based on nearly four years of research among semi-cloistered Christian monastics and a dispersed network of non-monastic Christian contemplatives around the United States, The Monk's Cell shows how religious practitioners in both settings combined social action and intentional living with intellectual study and intensive contemplative practices in an effort to modify their ways of knowing, sensing, and experiencing the world.
Download or read book A Decade of Italian Women written by Thomas Adolphus Trollope and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features the biographical accounts of ten women selected by the author not so much with any intention of bringing together the best, greatest, or most admirable, nor even the most remarkable women Italy has produced, as with a view of securing the greatest amount of variety, in point of social position and character. Each figure of the small gallery was intended to illustrate a distinct phase of Italian social life and civilization: the canonized Saint, that most extraordinary product of the "ages of faith," highly interesting as a social, and perhaps more so still as a psychological phenomenon; the feudal Châtelaine, one of the most remarkable results of the feudal system, and affording a suggestive study of woman in man's place; the high-born and highly-educated Princess of a somewhat less rude day, whose inmost spiritual nature was so profoundly and injuriously modified by her social position; the brilliant literary denizen of "La Bohème", etc. All these were curiously distinct manifestations of womanhood, and if any measure of success has been attained in the endeavor to represent them duly surrounded by the social environment which produced them, while they helped to fashion it, some contribution will have been made to a right understanding of woman's nature, and of the true road towards her more completely satisfactory social development.

Download or read book The Cloisters written by Katy Hays and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Ann Stilwell arrives in New York City, she expects to spend her summer working as a curatorial associate at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Instead she finds herself assigned to The Cloisters, a gothic museum and garden renowned for its medieval art collection and its group of enigmatic researchers studying the history of divination. Desperate to escape her painful past, Ann is happy to indulge the researchers' more outlandish theories about the history of fortune telling. But what begins as academic curiosity quickly turns into obsession when Ann discovers a hidden 15th-century deck of tarot cards that might hold the key to predicting the future. As the dangerous game of power, seduction, and ambition at The Cloisters turns deadly, Ann becomes locked in a race for answers as the line between the arcane and the modern blurs."--Provided by publisher.
