Reading Paul With the Reformers - Reconciling Old and New Perspectives [Bok / Inbunden]

Sacred Knowledge is a compilation book containing parts of ancient sacred texts and books within Alchemy, Mysticism, Magic, Kabbalah, Tarot and the esoteric doctrine. The purpose is to preserve these sacred texts and support the original authors and their works.

This work covers ancient beliefs about life after death from Homer's Hades to ancient Jewish beliefs, from the Bible to the Dead Sea Scrolls and beyond. It examines early Christian beliefs about resurrection in general and that of Jesus in particular, beginning with Paul and working through to the start of the third century. It explores the Easter stories of the Gospels and seeks the best historical conclusions about the empty tomb and the belief that Jesus did rise bodily from the dead.

<i>The Five Quintets</i> is both poetry and cultural history. It offers a sustained reflection on modernity - people and movements - in poetic meter. Just as Dante, in his <i>Divine Comedy</i>, summed up the Middle Ages on the cusp of modernity, <i>The Five Quintets </i>takes stock of a late modern world on the cusp of the first-ever global century.<br/><br/>Celebrated Irish poet Micheal O'Siadhail structures his <i>Quintets</i> to echo the <i>Comedy</i>. Where Dante had a tripartite structure ( <i>Inferno</i>, <i>Purgatorio</i>, and <i>Paradiso</i>), O'Siadhail has a five-part structure, with each quintet devoted to a discipline - the arts; economics; politics; science; and philosophy and theology. Each quintet is also marked by a different form: sonnets interspersed by haikus (""saikus""), iambic pentameter, terza rima, and two other invented forms.<br/><br/> <i>The Five Quintets </i>captivates even as it instructs, exploring the ever-changing flow of ideas and the individuals whose contributions elicited change and reflected their times. The artists, economists, politicians, scientists, and philosophers O'Siadhail features lived complex lives, often full of contradictions. Others, though deeply rooted in their context, transcended their time and place and pointed beyond themselves - even to us and to a time after modernity's reign.<br/><br/>The ancient Horace commended literature that delivered ""profit with delight."" In <i>The Five Quintets</i>, Micheal O'Siadhail has done just that: he delights us in the present with his artistry, even as he reveals hidden treasures of our past and compels us toward the future.
