Описание:
The Western World is becoming atheist. In the space of three generations churchgoing and religious belief have become alien to millions. We are in the midst of one of humankind's great cultural changes. How has this happened?
Becoming Atheist explores how people of the sixties' generation have come to live their lives as if there is no God. It tells the life narratives of those from Britain, Western Europe, the United States and Canada who came from Christian, Jewish and other backgrounds to be without faith. Based on interviews with 85 people born in 18 countries, Callum Brown shows how gender, ethnicity and childhood shape how individuals lose religion. This book moves from statistical and broad cultural analysis to use frank, humorous and sometimes harrowing personal testimony. Becoming Atheist exposes people's role in renegotiating their own identities, and fashioning a secular and humanist culture for the Western world.

Описание:
Once intended a sequel to "The Sorcerer's Handbook" by Joshua Free while writing as "Merlyn Stone" in the 1990's, his "notebooks" composing the historically legendary "1998 Book of Shadows"-and eventually "The Witch's Handbook"-were only released privately to members of his own Coven operating in Colorado, and other groups he networked with, during a peak period of development for the modern "New Age."
Among the many facets explored within these pages, you will also encounter the complete structure of the original century-old "Book of Shadows," illuminated for the first time with a new revolutionary never before published presentation of concise descriptions and references that uncover influential behind-the-scenes sources of many contemporary Wiccan and traditionalist Witchcraft movements. Rites of Initiation, Consecration Rituals, Tools, Herbs, Sabbats, Ceremonies, Ritual Magic, Spellcraft... It's all here
From the Key of Solomon, to the Rites of the Golden Dawn and OTO, to the Aradian Gospel of Witches, to the relatively modern innovation of a "Neopagan Eightfold Year" by three men: a Druid (Ross Nichols), a Magician (Aleister Crowley) and a Witch (Gerald Gardner); an underlying story unfolds beneath and back of the 20th Century Witchcraft revival and no stone or pentacle is left unturned in this effective, yet candid, complete practical guide to the true "Arts of Witchcraft."
Long-standing and returning fans will celebrate the release of The Witch's Handbook as the "missing link" of a once proposed "Merlyn Stone" trilogy from the 1990's, which includes "The Sorcerer's Handbook" and "The Druid's Handbook"-both of which have been widely accepted in the underground "New Age" scene already.
This special premiere edition is dedicated by the author to Fairuza Balk and, as a bonus, features Joshua Free's tribute to "The Craft" movie, including his previously unpublished treatment of its practical witchcraft as "Nancy's Book of Shadows."

Описание: The Oxford Handbook of Historical Books of the Hebrew Bible is a collection of essays that provide resources for the interpretation of the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. The volume is not exhaustive in its coverage, but examines interpretive aspects of these books that are deemed essential for interpretation or that are representative of significant trends in present and future scholarship. The individual essays are united by their focus on two guiding questions: (1) What does this topic have to do with the Old Testament Historical Books? and (2) How does this topic help readers better interpret the Old Testament Historical Books? Each essay critically surveys prior scholarship before presenting current and prospective approaches. Taking into account the ongoing debates concerning the relationship between the Old Testament texts and historical events in the ancient world, data from Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian culture and history are used to provide a larger context for the content of the Historical Books. Essays consider specific issues related to Israelite/Judean history (settlement, state formation, monarchy, forced migration, and return) as they relate to the interpretation of the Historical Books. This volume also explores the specific themes, concepts, and content that are most essential for interpreting these books. In light of the diverse material included in this section of the Old Testament, the Handbook further examines interpretive strategies that employ various redactional, synthetic, and theory-based approaches. Beyond the Old Testament proper, subsequent texts, traditions, and cultures often received and interpreted the material in the Historical Books, and so the volume concludes by investigating the literary, social, and theological aspects of that reception.
Описание: In the realm of Christian publications targeting the laity, this book is unique - and revolutionary. It argues that the essence of the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth was ethical rather than "religious", that Christians who identify themselves as "followers of Jesus" need to think and act in ethical terms, and that the role of the church is to promote discussion of issues from an ethical perspective - and then to act appropriately. The first part of the book considers how the stories and sayings of Jesus were influenced by the intervening period of oral transmission between his life and when the Gospels were written - and what the core message was that he was trying to convey. The latter part of the book looks at multiple contemporary issues and how an ethical perspective regards them. It concludes that, rather than eschew dealing with controversial issues, the church should be the forum for such discussions. The final Appendix section provides supporting historical and reference information. This is a book for the thoughtful lay person who is having trouble reconciling what he/she really thinks with what they hear from the pulpit, what they remember from childhood, and what most churches preach and represent. This book encourages churches and church people to become active in their communities as centers of public activity and to engage in service for their communities. It reinterprets the message of Jesus and the message of the church, encouraging churches to become a redeeming voice in their communities. An abundance of literature exists on traditional Christian religion. This book provides the reader with a serious, relevant and thoughtful perspective that the general lay person will find enlightening and useful.
