Download or read book Mysterious Wisdom written by Rachel Campbell-Johnston and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A devotee of the great visionary William Blake, Samuel Palmer became the lynchpin of the first British art movement. Leading a band of fellow artists - the brotherhood of Ancients - out of London to the village of Shoreham in Kent, he set out to create a new rural ideal. His paintings of slumbering shepherds and tumbling blossoms, of mystical cornfields and bright sickle moons, capture a world in which landscape and politics, religion and culture all meet. They reflect the concerns of the nineteenth century which his life spanned. In his day, like his mentor Blake, Samuel Palmer was much neglected. He did not attempt the grand dramas of J.M.W. Turner or follow John Constable's profoundly naturalistic path. But he belongs in their pantheon of great British Romantics as much for the numinous visions that are embodied in his loveliest paintings as for the vagaries of a life story in which he so often failed. If English tradition had ever encompassed the making of icons they would not have been so different from Palmer's enchanted landscapes. Mysterious Wisdom offers for the first time in more than thirty-five years a vivid and intimate portrait of Palmer who, over the course of the past century, has become increasingly treasured as one of the most extraordinarily talented and quirkily eccentric figures of the British art world, or - as the art historian Kenneth Clark believed - an English Van Gogh.
Download or read book Wisdom Hidden in a Mystery written by Bertha L. Hicks-Drake and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the female person called Wisdom. The same Wisdom found mainly in the book of Proverbs in the Holy Bible. By the time you come to the end of this book, you will be fully able to understand how we in all of Christiandom have left out this most important person, and how we need to go back and see who she really is. When you read the book of Proverbs in the past, what did you think as you read about Wisdom? Did you think that she was someone real and alive, or did you think that she was someone mentioned in the Bible in order to give us good advice. Well, this book tells the real love story of God, and identifies who Wisdom really is, what she all did for us, why she was hidden in a mystery, and so much more. She is a female person that the Christian world can no longer afford to overlook as if she is just a mind set, or a way of thinking. The scripture says, "Happy is the man that findeth Wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain there of than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days are in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is everyone that retaineth her". Proverbs 3:13-18. This book is a must read, especially for those who still do not believe that the Holy Bible was written by the divine inspiration of God.
Download or read book The Mysterious Parable written by Madeleine Boucher and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph studies the parable as a literary construct. It addresses the question why the ancients understood parables as mysterious speech. The study disputes the binary opposition of (clear) parables and (obscure) allegories. Defining allegory as an extended metaphor in narratory form, it argues that many parables are allegories. The parable is defined as narrative in form; tropical in mode of meaning; religious or ethical in genre; and rhetorical in purpose, intended to persuade. Requiring (sometimes challenging) interpretation, the parable can rightly be considered "mysterious." The monograph then discusses the parable in the context of Mark's theme of mystery.

Download or read book Revealing the Mysterion written by Benjamin Gladd and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-12-19 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars largely agree that the NT term “mysterion” is a terminus technicus, originating from Daniel. This project traces the word in the Dead Sea Scrolls and other sectors of Judaism. Like Daniel, the term consistently retains eschatological connotations. The monograph then examines how mystery functions within 1 Corinthians and seeks to explain why the term is often employed. The apocalyptic term concerns the Messiah reigning in the midst of defeat, eschatological revelations and tongues, charismatic exegesis, and the transformation of believers into the image of the last Adam.

Download or read book 1 Corinthians Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament written by David E. Garland and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul's first letter to the Corinthians is one of the most important epistles in the New Testament. David Garland's thoughtful new commentary draws on extensive research and engages the best of contemporary scholarship while providing a readable study that will be accessible to thoughtful readers as well as students, pastors, and scholars. After considering the context of the letter and the social and cultural setting of Corinth, Garland turns to his exegetical work. An introduction to each major unit of thought is followed by the author's own translation of the Greek text. In the course of his verse-by-verse commentary, he incorporates references to other ancient writings that help explain particular aspects of Paul's meaning or provide information on the social and cultural context. He also refers to the work of other commentators and provides extensive notes for further reading and research.
Download or read book Open Secrets written by Michael Bell and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-05-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Secrets reflects on contemporary humanistic pedagogy by examining the limits of the teachable in this domain. The Goethean motif of the open secret refers not to a revealed mystery but to an utterance that is not understood, the likely fate of any instruction based purely on authority. Revisiting the European Bildungsroman, it studies the pedagogical relationship from the point of view of the tutor or mentor figure rather than with the usual focus on the young hero. The argument is not confined to works of fiction, however, but examines texts in which the category of fiction has a crucial and constitutive function, for a growing awareness of limited authority on the part of the mentor figures is closely related to fictive self-consciousness in the texts. Rousseau's Emile, as a semi-novelised treatise, whose fictiveness is at once overt and yet unmarked, is relatively unaware of the imaginary nature of its envisaged authority. Passing through Laurence Sterne, C. M. Wieland, Goethe and Nietzsche, the situation is gradually reversed, culminating with the conscious impasse of authority in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. All these writers have achieved their pedagogical impact despite, indeed by means of, their internal scepticism. By contrast, in the three subsequent writers, D. H. Lawrence, F. R. Leavis and J. M. Coetzee, the impasse of pedagogical authority becomes more literal as the authority of Bildung is eroded in the wider culture. The awareness of pedagogical authority as a species of fiction, to be conducted in an aesthetic spirit, remains a significant prophylactic against the perennial pressure of reductive conceptions of the education as form of instructional 'production'.

Download or read book My Conversation with Sophia written by William Z. Shetter and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Bible, a mysterious Lady Wisdom appears in many guises and dominates in the Wisdom Books of the Old Testament and Apocrypha. But just what is this spirit that is so central to all of creation? In My Conversation with Sophia, author William Z. Shetter shares an imagined conversation with Sophia, the personification of wisdom. Through this conversation, Shetter addresses how this ancient wisdom speaks to us today by exploring twenty-six facets of wisdom that include such subjects as attentiveness, simplicity, growth, humility, grace, and compassion. My Conversation with Sophia shows that wisdom is not the amassing of knowledge, but rather, it is insight. True wisdom is not only a matter of the mind but of the heart as well. Shetter explains how wisdoms timeless core is alive in the form of the wisdomlight that is at the center of all of us. We explore our own wisdom path in a spirit of contemplationreflecting attentively on the depth of what our experience is telling us. As Sophia opens an awareness of the centrality of wisdom in the worlds great religions and ethical systems, she provides a deeper understanding of wisdom as the divine breath of all the great sacred paths. William Z. Shetter takes the reader into the metaphorical and mystical realms of life as smoothly as gliding across a still lake in a canoe. His Conversation with Wisdom gently leads us all into dialogue with the ineffable sage that moves within history and beyond it. It is a tremendous springboard for an individual or group on a journey of deepening spirituality. Melanie Supan Groseta, Benedictine Oblate and Spiritual Director
