Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning of time, the woman, in fact, all women have been condemned wrongfully of committing the biggest crime in history. However, I shall prove conclusively through the scriptures of the King James Version of the Holy Bible and other references as the Holy Qur'an et.al, that the true criminal against humanity was not Eve, but Adam. The facts shall show the innocence of Eve; thereby, clearing all women of the condemnation that has been attributed upon them for the past 6014 years. On the other hand, every man must come to the realization that from the days of Adam until this very day, the man's rulership has completely failed. Thereby, man's selfish and prideful nature has caused pain, injury, suffering, destruction and wars throughout the planet. We, thus, are at a juncture in time, and at the end of this profoundly researched exegesis, a concluding judgment must be made, in the reader's mind, as to the rightful ruler of the Earth.

Download or read book The Sin Paradox written by D.B. Evans and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if Adam, Eve, death, murder, debt, wars, and even the last days of Jesus were all part of a common biblical pattern? Have you ever asked why God did something a certain way? In The Sin Paradox, author D. B. Evans shares his revelatory answers to a number of important questions he asked to God—who late one night answered him in a whispered word. What did Adam and Eve do? What kind of fruit did they eat? Why did Satan take the form of a serpent? Why did Satan do it? Why did Jesus have to die? Why did he have to die the way he did? Why did the last days of Jesus’s life play out the way they did? How does the sinful act of Adam and Eve permeate all of subsequent human existence and actions, such as wars, debt, greed, and all the other sins humankind experiences? Could the sin committed in Eden still be happening today? What if all these questions could be answered within a common biblical thread? The Sin Paradox provides a case against Adam, Eve, and the Serpent—not of guilt or innocence of those involved, but of whether the evidence points to the actual crime they committed.

Download or read book Anxiety in Eden written by John S. Tanner and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tanner uses Kierkegaard's thought, in particular his theory of anxiety, to enrich a bold new reading of Milton's Paradise Lost. He argues that for Milton and Kierkegaard, the path to sin and to salvation lies through anxiety, and that both writers include anxiety within the compass of paradise. The first half of the book explores anxiety in Eden before the Fall, original sin, the aetiology of evil, and prelapsarian knowledge. The second half examines anxiety after the Fall, offering original insights into such issues as the demonic personality, remorse, despair, and faith.
Download or read book Revisions of the American Adam written by Jonathan Mitchell and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The figure of the American Adam is a prevalent myth in US cultural history. Defined by R.W.B. Lewis in 1955 as "the hero of new adventure . . .an individual standing alone, self-reliant and self-propelling, ready to confront whatever awaited him with the aid of his own unique and inherent resources", the figure is discernable in the American renaissance writers and in the imagery of the frontiersman, cowboy, gangster as well as in the heroes of US action movies. Focusing on the American Adam as a paradigm of masculine identity formation, this monograph examines how this fantasy of an imaginary ideal identity has held an ideological sway over US identity in the main. Taking in a range of cultural texts, Jonathan Mitchell's study explores the complexities and contradictions of Adam's 'real' condition of existence to show how the paradigm influences both masculinity and subsequently hegemonic US identity as represented throughout twentieth-century US culture.

Download or read book Before God written by George W. Stroup and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians today have experienced a loss of enormous significance -- they no longer understand their daily lives to be lived "before God." This timely work traces the development and implications of this loss and argues for its recovery. In comparing contemporary Christians with believers of previous eras, author George Stroup sees an "eclipse" of life lived before God. This eclipse is tragic because the Bible presupposes human life as a daily, personal relationship with God. Stroup here offers help by exploring anew the biblical view that Jesus Christ models most clearly what life lived before God and neighbor looks like. He then suggests that describing Christian life as "gratitude naturally evokes a sense of life lived before God. The book concludes by examining whether life before God requires a sense of God's presence -- and whether it is possible to live before God even in those times when he seems to be absent. Offering thought-provoking analysis of modern faith and sound direction for spiritual renewal, "Before God is perfect for churches, study groups, pastors, and individuals pursuing genuine discipleship.

Download or read book Ninety Biblical Story Lessons for Adults written by Jim Roché and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would new, untrained Christians kindly and humbly introduce God to their non-Christian friends? What if neither the Christian nor the non-Christian could learn from printed materials such as pamphlets, books, or the Bible itself? What if the new Christian was usually alone and untrained in a community hostile to Christian beliefs? How could these new Christians continue the process of reproducing spiritual generations without first being fully taught themselves? The strategy offered here is to tell biblical stories that can be easily retold. Stories that revealed God's acts and perspectives leading to questions and discussion. Stories that caused new listeners to question their own beliefs. You're holding a collection of ninety stories designed to be retold by anyone--thirty Old Testament stories chronologically arranged from creation to the return from Israel's exile; thirty Gospel stories from the announcement of Jesus' birth to his ascension to heaven; and thirty stories from the New Testament from Pentecost to Jesus' return from heaven to earth. Each lesson is built upon the principles from Roche's first book, Biblical Storytelling Design: Understanding Why Oral Stories Work, but modeled and explained in this book.
Download or read book Who s to Blame Collective Guilt on Trial written by Coline Covington and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who’s to Blame? Collective Guilt on Trial presents a psychoanalytic exploration of blame and collective guilt in the aftermath of large-scale atrocities that cause widespread trauma and victimization. Coline Covington explores various aspects of social and collective guilt and considers how both perpetrators and victims make sense of their experiences, with particular reference to group behavior and political morality. Covington challenges the concept of collective guilt associated with the aftermath of large-scale atrocities such as the Holocaust and examines the moral pressure placed on perpetrators to exhibit guilt as part of a realignment of political power and a process of restoring social morality. Who’s to Blame? Collective Guilt on Trial concludes with a chapter-length case study examining Russia’s war in Ukraine. Combining psychoanalytic ideas with political, philosophical and social theory, Who’s to Blame? Collective Guilt on Trial will be of great value to readers interested in questions of collective guilt, blame and the possibilities of atonement. It will also appeal to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and to academics of psychoanalytic studies, political philosophy, sociology and conflict resolution.
Download or read book Faithful Labourers a Reception History of Paradise Lost 1667 1970 written by John Leonard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 878 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Volume one attends to questions of style and genre. The first three chapters examine the longstanding debate about Milton's grand style and the question of whether it forfeits the native resources of English. Early critics saw Milton as the pre-eminent poet of 'apt Numbers' and 'fit quantity', whose verse is 'apt' in the specific sense of achieving harmony between sound and sense; twentieth-century anti-Miltonists faulted Milton for divorcing sound from sense; late twentieth-century theorists have denied the possibility that sound can 'enact' sense. These are extreme changes of critical perception, and yet the story of how they came about has never been told. These chronological chapters explain the roots of these changes and, in doing so, engage with the enduring theoretical question of whether it is possible for sound to enact sense"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the strength and unity of the ummah— the worldwide Muslim community—and its role in an individual’s identity is essential in comprehending the struggles that Muslims undergo as they turn to faith in Jesus Christ. It has been a place of security, acceptance, protection, and identity; turning away from it entails great sacrifice. Where, then, will Muslims who choose to follow Jesus find their longing for community fulfilled: ummah, church, or somewhere in between?

Download or read book Milton s Ovidian Eve written by Mandy Green and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton's Ovidian Eve presents a fresh and thorough exploration of the classical allusions central to understanding Paradise Lost and to understanding Eve, one of Milton's most complex characters. Mandy Green demonstrates how Milton appropriates narrative structures, verbal echoes, and literary strategies from the Metamorphoses to create a subtle and evolving portrait of Eve. Each chapter examines a different aspect of Eve's mythological figurations. Green traces Eve's development through multiple critical lenses, influenced by theological, ecocritical, and feminist readings. Her analysis is gracefully situated between existing Milton scholarship and close textual readings, and is supported by learned references to seventeenth-century writing about women, the allegorical tradition of Ovidian commentary, hexameral literature, theological contexts and biblical iconography. This detailed scholarly treatment of Eve simultaneously illuminates our understanding of the character, establishes Milton's reading of Ovid as central to his poetic success, and provides a candid synthesis and reconciliation of earlier interpretations.
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve written by Stephen Greenblatt and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected as a book of the year 2017 by The Times and Sunday Times What is it about Adam and Eve’s story that fascinates us? What does it tell us about how our species lives, dies, works or has sex? The mythic tale of Adam and Eve has shaped conceptions of human origins and destiny for centuries. Stemming from a few verses in an ancient book, it became not just the foundation of three major world faiths, but has evolved through art, philosophy and science to serve as the mirror in which we seem to glimpse the whole, long history of our fears and desires. In a quest that begins at the dawn of time, Stephen Greenblatt takes us from ancient Babylonia to the forests of east Africa. We meet evolutionary biologists and fossilised ancestors; we grapple with morality and marriage in Milton’s Paradise Lost; and we decide if the Fall is the unvarnished truth or fictional allegory.
