This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The solution of the mystery of the pyramids of Egypt has been a problem which has not only puzzled mankind in general during the ages of the past, but which has as well mystified the minds of scholars and thinkers even to this our present day. In Irish Wisdom Preserved in Bible and Pyramids, which was first published in 1923, author Conor MacDari begins with the origin of the Great Pyramid and continues to explain the reasons for its existence, its message and significance. He then traces history from the time of the ancient Phoenicians through the Roman era, illustrating the part the Irish race took in these important times.
Download or read book The Word written by Isaac Mozeson and published by SP Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark dictionary proves that English words can be traced back to the universal, original language, Biblical Hebrew. Genesis II supports a 'Mother Tongue' thesis, and the Bible also claims that Adam named the animals. This may seem difficult to accept, but then why do the translations of the following animals' names: Skunk, Gopher, Giraffe and Horse actually have corresponding meanings in Biblical Hebrew, such as: Stinker, Digger, Neck and Plower? The book features overwhelming data suggesting that the roots of all human words are universal, and that words have related synonyms and antonyms that must have been intelligently designed (perhaps by the designer of life himself!) The current hypothesis that language evolved from grunting ape-men may seem like the flat earth theory after reading this book. The 22,000 English-Hebrew links provide surprising evidence, and open new worlds of understanding, once we consider that all of these similar words could not be coincidences.
Download or read book The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names written by Judson Cornwall and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Search Stops Here! Every name in the Bible is included in The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names. Your own relationship with God will be enriched as you gain in-depth understanding of the meanings of biblical names. Whether you are looking for a biblical name for your child, or doing in-depth research, this book of scriptural treasures will have what you are looking for — and more. Every biblical name and its various shades of Greek or Hebrew meanings The nearly 40 self-revealing names for God The 275 descriptive titles for Jesus The 100 scriptural designations for Christians In western culture we seldom pay attention to the meanings of names. However, we often give people nicknames based on their personalities and character traits. In a similar way, names given in biblical times had much to say about the character, prophetic calling, or circumstances at the time of a person's birth. For instance, Jacob’s name (he stole the firstborn blessing from Esau) means "supplanter" (or trickster). God later changed his name to “Israel,” which means, “He will be a prince with God” or “One who prevails with God.” In the final book of the Bible, one of the promises given to overcomers is that they will be given “a new name.” (See Revelation 2:17.) It is very clear that names are important! Grow in your knowledge of God’s nature and character. Have a greater understanding of Scripture. Find a biblical name with specific meaning and purpose for your child.

Download or read book Wisdom s Root Revealed written by Greg Schmidt Goering and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph interprets the theme of election in the book of Sirach. Previous scholarship has often understood Ben Sira s worldview to be dualistic, and has approached the sage's correlation of Wisdom and Torah as either a nationalization of Wisdom or a universalization of Torah. By probing Ben Sira s ideas about election, this book suggests that Ben Sira does not collapse the traditional sapiential dichotomy wisdom/folly into a dualistic worldview, and that his understanding of the relation between Wisdom and Torah proves to be far more subtle than previous interpretations have allowed. The study demonstrates that the concept of election enables a profitable discussion of the relation of Wisdom and Torah in the thought of this pivotal Second Temple sage.

Download or read book Self Transcendence and Virtue written by Jennifer A. Frey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research in the humanities and social sciences suggests that individuals who understand themselves as belonging to something greater than the self—a family, community, or religious or spiritual group—often feel happier, have a deeper sense of purpose or meaning in their lives, and have overall better life outcomes than those who do not. Some positive and personality psychologists have labeled this location of the self within a broader perspective "self-transcendence." This book presents and integrates new, interdisciplinary research into virtue, happiness, and the meaning of life by re-orienting these discussions around the concept of self-transcendence. The essays are organized around three broad themes connected to self-transcendence. First, they investigate how self-transcendence helps us to understand aspects of the moral life as it is studied within psychology, including the development of wisdom, the practice of moral praise, and psychological well-being. Second, they explore how self-transcendence is linked to virtue in different religious and spiritual traditions including Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Finally, they ask how self-transcendence can help us theorize about Aristotelean and Thomist conceptions of virtue, like hope and piety, and how this helps us to re-conceptualize happiness and meaning in life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroimaging Personality, Social Cognition, and Character covers the science of combining brain imaging with other analytical techniques for use in understanding cognition, behavior, consciousness, memory, language, visual perception, emotional control, and other human attributes. Multidimensional brain imaging research has led to a greater understanding of character traits such as honesty, generosity, truthfulness, and foresight previously unachieved by quantitative mapping.
