Download or read book The Making of Measure and the Promise of Sameness written by Emanuele Lugli and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurement is all around us—from the circumference of a pizza to the square footage of an apartment, from the length of a newborn baby to the number of miles between neighboring towns. Whether inches or miles, centimeters or kilometers, measures of distance stand at the very foundation of everything we do, so much so that we take them for granted. Yet, this has not always been the case. This book reaches back to medieval Italy to speak of a time when measurements were displayed in the open, showing how such a deceptively simple innovation triggered a chain of cultural transformations whose consequences are visible today on a global scale. Drawing from literary works and frescoes, architectural surveys and legal compilations, Emanuele Lugli offers a history of material practices widely overlooked by historians. He argues that the public display of measurements in Italy’s newly formed city republics not only laid the foundation for now centuries-old practices of making, but also helped to legitimize local governments and shore up church power, buttressing fantasies of exactitude and certainty that linger to this day. This ambitious, truly interdisciplinary book explains how measurements, rather than being mere descriptors of the real, themselves work as powerful molds of ideas, affecting our notions of what we consider similar, accurate, and truthful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Testament Profiles in Poetry is a companion volume to New Testament Profiles in Poetry published in 2023. By comparison with the New Testament, the First Testament (or Old Testament) is much less often read and therefore less known. This manuscript features the main actors in the story of the people of God, before Jesus came to earth. There are one hundred biblical people profiled in this book. Many of their individual stories express what God is saying to humanity as a whole. Each person tells their story in their own words. With a little imagination, join them in building an ark, facing a powerful king, battling against great odds, administering justice, and listening to God’s voice. These people from ancient times have much to share with a modern audience. We may live a millennia or three later, but we face the same issues today. Poetry is the medium of communication, the vehicle for people to tell their stories succinctly and interestingly. Enjoy seeing through the eyes of patriarchs, judges, kings, prophets, and the Apocrypha.
Download or read book Apocalypse For A New Millennium written by Benjamin Williams and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here we are in the millennium that wasn't supposed to happen, as another generation of end-time authors and bible prophecy "specialists" have proven wrong. Again the Book of Revelation has been brought into disrepute. Can Christians "take back the book" and read John's Apocalypse with fresh eyes? Dr. Williams argues that the prophet John saw in the events of his own day a larger drama playing out, the ultimate struggle between God and evil. Because human nature never really changes, the same great themes speak to every age - including our own. In all the bad news of today's headlines, the Apocalypse unveils the good news that undergirds all human history and drives it forward toward its intended destiny. If you find the Book of Revelation only confusing or even frightening, this book is for you.

Download or read book Wording a Radiance written by Daniel W. Hardy and published by Hymns Ancient and Modern Ltd. This book was released on 2010 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the theologian Daniel W. Hardy was given six months to live, he began three series of conversations - with his daughter, Deborah Hardy Ford, his close friend and collaborator the Jewish philosopher Peter Ochs, and his son-in-law the theologian David F. Ford. They ranged through deeply personal reflections in the face of death, accounts of his remarkable experiences during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, core questions of faith and practice, and a distillation of the unfinished work on the Church that he had been writing for many years. In this book, his three partners give accounts of their conversations with him, together with a short biography. The result is an extraordinary spiritual testimony, above all to what can happen through `allowing the divine to flood in without inhibition', and finding `things and people knit together in the divine abundance'. This is a prophetic vision of full human life with God in the twenty-first century, drawing on the deepest springs of Christian, Jewish, Muslim and secular wisdom.
