Download or read book Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament with Supplement written by James B. Pritchard and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology brought together the most important historical, legal, mythological, liturgical, and secular texts of the ancient Near East, with the purpose of providing a rich contextual base for understanding the people, cultures, and literature of the Old Testament. A scholar of religious thought and biblical archaeology, James Pritchard recruited the foremost linguists, historians, and archaeologists to select and translate the texts. The goal, in his words, was "a better understanding of the likenesses and differences which existed between Israel and the surrounding cultures." Before the publication of these volumes, students of the Old Testament found themselves having to search out scattered books and journals in various languages. This anthology brought these invaluable documents together, in one place and in one language, thereby expanding the meaning and significance of the Bible for generations of students and readers. As one reviewer put it, "This great volume is one of the most notable to have appeared in the field of Old Testament scholarship this century." Princeton published a follow-up companion volume, The Ancient Near East in Pictures Relating to the Old Testament (1954), and later a one-volume abridgment of the two, The Ancient Near East: An Anthology of Texts and Pictures (1958). The continued popularity of this work in its various forms demonstrates that anthologies have a very important role to play in education--and in the mission of a university press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is a divine institution founded upon sound tenets, principles and codes of conduct designed to enable couples to love each other until separated by death. Tabled here are many plausible or conceivable ideas that will not only restore these core values, but also prevent marriages from falling apart: • Extracting the best of both worlds, I borrowed extensively from the Orients—especially my ancestral Indian homeland—where the fundamentalism of marriage still produces the desired results. • I herein utilize my life sciences training to explain gendered differentiations, thereby establishing common grounds for couples to operate harmoniously. • Statistics show that many women succumb to severe brutality and death at the hands of their unscrupulous husbands, whose actions must be impugned or remedied. • When a man snuffs the life out of his wife, another man somewhere loses a daughter. How would that feel as a father? • I appeal to all males to examine their consciences and start treating their wives the way they want men treat their daughters. • This book focuses on men amending their incorrigible or embittered ways, which will definitely inject marital bliss into ailing marriages. • It embodies many time-tested tips that will surely help us achieve these noble ends.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction written by Mitzi M. Brunsdale and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.
