Autor: Frederick Guttmann

Número de Páginas: 115

Pasados 11 años tras el final de Har-Megedon, a pesar de que hay paz en Neo Aretz (la Tierra), en otras partes de la Heimarmene resuenan los conflictos. Los archidemonios Vala y Vritra han incentivado un enfrentamiento en el sistema Sirio y tratan de liberar de su prisión a Lucifer, condenado a prisión tras el final de la guerra. La hija de dos sacerdotes, Ari, forma un grupo con un chino, Guang, un reptiloide usumgal, Chester, y el dios Horus, para recuperar un legendario artefacto que las fuerzas oscuras desean utilizar para liberar a Lucifer. Tras varios enfrentamientos en este sistema solar, los enemigos de la galaxia aumentan las tropas y atacan más planetas de esta parte del brazo de la Vía Láctea. Jivah aparece para ayudar al grupo, viniendo desde el futuro, pero en esta tercera saga, Jivah será quien relate su propia historia. Mi nombre Jivah. Empezaré mi relato de la manera que culturalmente puede serte más fácil de asimilar. Has oído mitos respecto de mi encarnación cuando fui conocida como ‘Javah’, ‘Eve’ o ‘Eva’. He decidido narrar mi historia y que sea parte de las crónicas, legado que Ari dejará a buen recaudo en los registros del siglo XXI...

Ruined Eden of the Present

Autor: Gary Richard Thompson , Virgil Llewellyn Lokke

Número de Páginas: 412

A recurrent idea in Darrel Abel's criticism of the works of Hawthorne gives this volume its title. The idea of a fallen world and its potential for partial redemption through art and the art of criticism is a theme that weaves in and out of the sixteen essays. The volume as a whole displays an explicit and implicit concern with critical approaches and reflects an awareness of the fictiveness of critical resolutions in a world in which boundaries are constantly under challenge, for example, those which divide "textuality" from "contextuality." This collection of essays explores the problems the practical critic and teacher has had to face in the shifts in taste, assumptions, and methodology in the moves from moral and historical criticism to the "New Criticism," and to the newer linguistic and semiotic criticism.

Inventing Eden

Autor: Zachary Mcleod Hutchins

Número de Páginas: 340

As Christopher Columbus surveyed lush New World landscapes, he eventually concluded that he had rediscovered the biblical garden from which God expelled Adam and Eve. Reading the paradisiacal rhetoric of Columbus, John Smith, and other explorers, English immigrants sailed for North America full of hope. However, the rocky soil and cold winters of New England quickly persuaded Puritan and Quaker colonists to convert their search for a physical paradise into a quest for Eden's less tangible perfections: temperate physiologies, intellectual enlightenment, linguistic purity, and harmonious social relations. Scholars have long acknowledged explorers' willingness to characterize the North American terrain in edenic terms, but Inventing Eden pushes beyond this geographical optimism to uncover the influence of Genesis on the iconic artifacts, traditions, and social movements that shaped seventeenth- and eighteenth-century American culture. Harvard Yard, the Bay Psalm Book, and the Quaker use of antiquated pronouns like thee and thou: these are products of a seventeenth-century desire for Eden. So, too, are the evangelical emphasis of the Great Awakening, the doctrine of natural law...

The Sound and the Fury in the Garden of Eden

Autor: John P. Anderson

Número de Páginas: 296

This non-academic author brings the Garden of Eden myth alive as sophisticated poetry and a polemic for women and the consciousness of freedom. The myth is explored line by line using the tools of literary analysis and modern ideas, including Freudian concepts. The analysis shows how its "J" author, thought to be a woman in the royal court of Judah around 1000 BCE, uses the techniques of sound association, puns and other sophisticated means to get her messages across. The analysis probes how after thousands of years this myth still speaks to us about the critical human experiences of sex and death and their bigger brothers freedom and limitation.

Plundering Eden

Autor: G. P. Wagenfuhr

Número de Páginas: 188

Christian ecotheology runs the risk of making God himself a resource for human exploitation as a means to species survival. The world of climate change, soil depletion, and mass species extinction reveals a frightening conclusion--humans act as cosmic parasites. The problem is not with the world--talk of climate change blames the symptoms displayed by the victim--but with human epistemology. Humans are systematically incapable of rightly perceiving reality, and so must socially construct reality. The end of this epistemological problem is necessary ecological devastation by the development of civilization. In Plundering Eden, Wagenfuhr traces ecological problems to their root cause in the broken imagination, and argues that reconciliation with God the Creator through Jesus Christ is the only means to ecological healing through a renewed, kenotic imagination expressed in the creation of an alternate environment that reveals the kingdom of God--the ekklesia.

The Dome of Eden

Autor: Stephen H. Webb

Número de Páginas: 375

What would biology look like if it took the problem of natural evil seriously? This book argues that biological descriptions of evolution are inherently moral, just as the biblical story of creation has biological implications. A complete account of evolution will therefore require theological input. The Dome of Eden does not try to harmonize evolution and creation. Harmonizers typically begin with Darwinism and then try to add just enough religion to make evolution more palatable, or they begin with Genesis and pry open the creation account just wide enough to let in a little bit of evolution. By contrast, Stephen Webb provides a theory of how evolution and theology fit together, and he argues that this kind of theory is required by the internal demands of both theology and biology. The Dome of Eden also develops a theological account of evolution that is distinct from the intelligent design movement. Webb shows how intelligent design properly discerns the inescapable dimension of purpose in nature but, like Darwinism itself, fails to make sense of the problem of natural evil. Finally, this book draws on the work of Karl Barth to advance a new reading of the Genesis narrative and ...

Eden Location Clues

Autor: Brook Clearwater , Ai

Número de Páginas: 158

Eden Location Clues explores the enduring mystery of the Garden of Eden's location, blending Biblical Studies with Earth Sciences Geography. By examining the geographical details within Genesis and comparing them to Mesopotamian river systems and geological data, the book offers a fresh perspective on this foundational story. Intriguingly, the Genesis account provides specific geographical markers, such as the four rivers, which, when analyzed through geospatial analysis, may point to a plausible location. The book uniquely bridges biblical narrative and scientific inquiry, appealing to both scholars and general readers interested in this intersection. The book progresses systematically, first introducing the key geographical elements from Genesis, including the challenges in reconciling these descriptions with modern geography. It then delves into the geological history of Mesopotamia, reconstructing ancient landscapes using archaeological and geological data. This section uses data like satellite imagery to map changes in river courses. Finally, it presents a comparative analysis, matching biblical descriptions with the reconstructed Mesopotamian landscape, proposing a specific...

Mecca and Eden

Autor: Brannon Wheeler

Número de Páginas: 347

Nineteenth-century philologist and Biblical critic William Robertson Smith famously concluded that the sacred status of holy places derives not from their intrinsic nature but from their social character. Building upon this insight, Mecca and Eden uses Islamic exegetical and legal texts to analyze the rituals and objects associated with the sanctuary at Mecca. Integrating Islamic examples into the comparative study of religion, Brannon Wheeler shows how the treatment of rituals, relics, and territory is related to the more general mythological depiction of the origins of Islamic civilization. Along the way, Wheeler considers the contrast between Mecca and Eden in Muslim rituals, the dispersal and collection of relics of the prophet Muhammad, their relationship to the sanctuary at Mecca, and long tombs associated with the gigantic size of certain prophets mentioned in the Quran. Mecca and Eden succeeds, as few books have done, in making Islamic sources available to the broader study of religion.

Eden in Egypt

Autor: Ralph Ellis

Número de Páginas: 399

Why was the birth of a poor carpenter " in the first century AD attended by the Magi: the Persian king-makers? Why was Jesus later known as the King of the Jews "?Using many strands of contemporary evidence, Ralph Ellis has pieced together a historical jigsaw puzzle demonstrating that the biblical Jesus was directly descended from Cleopatra VII, the most famous queen of Egypt.But this is not all, for in piecing this story together it would seem that Jesus also had an aristocratic Roman and royal Persian ancestry too; and it is the latter bloodline element that explains the appearance of Persian Magi at his birth.

Martin Eden

Autor: Jack London

Número de Páginas: 352

Martin Eden es una novela autobiográfica y naturalista del estadounidense Jack London, publicada por entregas entre 1908 y 1909 en The Pacific Monthly y en forma de libro en ese último mismo año. Es la historia de un proletario, un muchacho de pueblo que se hace marinero y, a los veinte años, descubre en Oakland la cultura al ser acogido en una refinada familia burguesa, y se esfuerza en lograr una, como en Jude el oscuro de Thomas Hardy, mediante una formación autodidacta. Martin intenta convertirse en un escritor al principio con la ayuda de la hija burguesa de la familia, Ruth Morse, de la que está enamorado, pero esta luego lo abandona al ver que no alcanza del todo sus objetivos; Eden sin embargo persiste, lee mucho, escribe aunque los editores rechazan sus relatos y novelas, y al fin logra el reconocimiento y la fortuna; pero se desespera por haber obtenido solo un éxito a medias que le parece peor que un fracaso y se arroja al mar, sumergiéndose tan profundamente que ya no puede salir a flote, ya que, aunque había obtenido el respeto de la sociedad burguesa, había desarrollado un profundo rencor contra ella y se había cansado de su trabajo y del amor no...

Searching for Eden

Autor: James Still

Número de Páginas: 76

"As one critic wrote about Searching for Eden: "In the beginning--and throughout the play--here was laughter. And the audience found it good." More than a hundred years after Mark Twain wrote his own short stories about Adam and Eve, James Still combines those stories for Act One of Searching for Eden, and then imagines Adam and Eve in the present day for Act Two to create this completely original and contemporary play about the world's first love story. Act One takes place at the dawn of time in the Garden of Eden. In the imaginations of Still and Twain, the Garden of Eden is a place where the battle of the sexes begins, where language is deliciously invented, and where loneliness and heartbreak are poignantly discovered. After intermission, we jump forward to the present day--but Adam and Eve have only aged into their 40s and are dealing with middle age and the distractions of high-power careers. Adam has surprised Eve with this trip back to Eden (a last-minute vacation package Adam found on the Internet) as an anniversary gift. The "first couple" returns to present-day Eden (now an upscale resort simply called "E") in an attempt to recapture the primal passions of their youth....

The Eden Express

Autor: Mark Vonnegut

Número de Páginas: 306

The Eden Express describes from the inside Mark Vonnegut’s experience in the late ’60s and early ’70s—a recent college grad; in love; living communally on a farm, with a famous and doting father, cherished dog, and prized jalopy—and then the nervous breakdowns in all their slow-motion intimacy, the taste of mortality and opportunity for humor they provided, and the grim despair they afforded as well. That he emerged to write this funny and true book and then moved on to find the meaningful life that for a while had seemed beyond reach is what ultimately happens in The Eden Express. But the real story here is that throughout his harrowing experience his sense of humor let him see the humanity of what he was going through, and his gift of language let him describe it in such a moving way that others could begin to imagine both its utter ordinariness as well as the madness we all share.
