The Bible

Esta tesis doctoral se basa fundamentalmente en el estudio arquetípico de la obra poética (11 obras) de Gwendolyn MacEWEN (1941-1987) y también de algunos de sus relatos. Se ha aplicado la crítica literaria junguiana de orientación antropológica, dando especial relevancia al concepto de arquetipo y a la reescritura o reinterpretación de los mitos por esta autora. El análisis se basa en la evocación por parte de la escritora de los cuatro elementos: fuego, agua, aire y tierra en su intento de aprehender la conciencia divina y de revelar, el misterio de la existencia a través del lenguaje. En este contexto de búsqueda espiritual la poesía es una herramienta de autoexploración y conocimiento del cual la autora obtiene un aprendizaje personal que surge del proceso poético y no del poema en sí mismo. MacEwen es una escritora que se caracteriza por el uso constante de fuentes secundarias que actúan como medios de inspiración y también como focos de conocimiento para la realización de sus objetivos. Estas fuentes pertenecen al terreno de lo esotérico, lo místico y lo psicológico: la cábala, la numerología, los arquetipos del tarot, la mística de Jacob Böhme, el gnosticismo, la Biblia, la psicología de Carl Gustav Jung y, especialmente, la alquimia. La explicación de estas fuentes queda insertada en el análisis de los textos pues actúan como catalizadores de creatividad en esta escritoria. Una musa masculina de naturaleza mercuriana actúa como mediadora del proceso alquímico en el que se halla la escritora en su búsqueda espiritual; un proceso de lucha tanto por unir las polaridades de la existencia como por reconocer, aceptar e integrar la dicotomía del ser.

It is well known that soft iron owes its transformation into steel to the addition of carbon. Carbon is the hardest substance on Earth - diamond. Carbon is the mainstay of Life on Earth, since everything living on our planet is built from it. This all means: carbon is the mainstay of our world. But find out: it is also the stronghold of the entire Universe! The mythical metal orichalcum spoken of by Plato and Tolkien's mithril are carbon, structurally superior to diamond. The Moon is made from it by the hand of God. The UFO is made from it by the hand of the Other. // Общеизвестно, что своим превращением в сталь мягкое железо обязано добавке углерода. Углеродом есть самое твердое вещество Земли — алмаз. Углерод — оплот Жизни на Земле, ибо из него на ней построено живое. Все это означает: углерод в нашем мире есть главная твердь. Но узнайте: он есть и твердь Мира! Мифичный металл орихалк, о каком рек Платон, и мифрил Толкина — это углерод, структурно высший над алмазом. Из него рукою Бога сделана Луна. Из него рукой Иного сделан НЛО.

Monastic exegesis of the Bible in the Patristic period was characterized by ascetic pragmatism, reminiscence and meditation of the canonical text and at the same time its extra-verbal literal and spiritual interpretation. The consequence of such a manner of reading the text of the Bible was to acknowledge the monastic way of life as the royal path (via regia) and the monk as the one possessing certain spiritual knowledge and living faith. Systematic ignoring of the original Hebrew text by ancient monks, as well as by the Fathers of the Church, in using literal – spiritual and anagogical exegesis led to every biblical text being understood in a spiritual manner, i.e. as a text leading a monk to salvation. The biblical typologies of the monastic life also started to be derived from the theological rule of the Testaments. Those typologies resulted from the formerly adopted Christocentric theological premise assuming that the whole Bible tells about Christ and leads to Christ. They were the spiritual interpretation of the biblical text and were aimed at accounting for monasticism as the biblical form of life.

The article deals with the peculiarities of the poetic system of S. A. Esenin of the revolutionary period. It is noted that for Yesenin’s creativity of that time the knowledge gained in the years of study was of great importance. The analysis of the small poem “The melodious Call” contains its comparison with the texts of the Bible and liturgical books. It is shown that S. A. Esenin acts as a prophet being in the center of historical events that took place in the contemporary to him Russia.

The impression we are often given by historians of philosophy is that the readiness of medieval philosophers to appeal to authorities, such as The Bible, the Church, and Aristotle, was not shared by many early modern philosophers, for whom there was a marked preference to look for illumination via experience, the exercise of reason, or a combination of the two. Although this may be accurate, broadly speaking, it is notable that, in spite of the waning enthusiasm for deferring to traditional authorities, appeals to scripture remained commonplace in the work of early modern philosophers. In order to understand the philosophers of the early modern period, the philosophies they developed, and the debates they fought, we need to understand how they used scripture. This paper is intended to contribute to this desideratum by examining how scripture was used by those who engaged in a particular debate within natural philosophy, the so-called beast-machine controversy of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Rev. Dr. T. G. Koshy (affectionately called as “Achayan”) is the founder principal of Faith Theological Seminary (FTS), Manakkala, Kerala, India, and the former president of Sharon Fellowship Church. He was one of the stalwarts of biblical spirituality, leadership, and missional and ministerial engagements. FTS was founded in 1970 and in the academic year 2019-2020 the seminary celebrated the Golden Jubilee year. It is respected as one of the premier Pentecostal theological institutions in India affiliated to the Senate of Serampore College (University) that offers Bachelor of Divinity (BD), Master of Theology (MTh), and Doctor of Theology (DTh) degrees. The seminary administration under the dynamic leadership of Achayan strove hard to fulfill the motto of the seminary, ‘Perfecting to make perfect in Christ.’ FTS reached its highest glory under Achayan as about 4000 graduates from the seminary serve the church and the community in various capacities all across India and beyond. The institution exists to equip men and women for the mission and ministry of the church as per the Great Commission of Jesus (Matt 28:16-20). FTS exists as a hub of Biblical spirituality in the Indian context.

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, which brings to people a poison of lies in a cup of truth, is a dangerous present for us. Its core idea is that Jesus is not the Son of Heavens but a mortal deprives us from the connection to the Outer by denying the Resurrection as an ascendancy to the Eternity, to the Motherland of humans — our return to own Self.

The difference between a UFO and an earthly machine is that the mechanism that this device is is not mechanical, but organic, that is alive, and its feeder is not the Earth, but the Moon. // Отличие НЛО от машины земной заключается в том, что механизм, каким есть этот аппарат, не механический, а органический, т.е. живой, и питатель его не Земля, а Луна.

Abstract

The object of this study is the restoration of the floor of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, the remains of which are sacred to Jews and Christians and are located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel. The analysis of the floor restoration is about the different types of classical symmetry, antisymmetry, color symmetry and similarity symmetry. There are interesting conclusions both about symmetries and beyond mathematics in general. Promotion is the purpose of this study, because the reconstruction was made soon in 2020 in Israel.

Wie Bijbel en 'beperking' serieus neemt, krijgt een nieuwe toegang tot de Schrift. Je gaat eigen blinde vlekken zien, bijvoorbeeld. Je kunt ook merken hoe meelezen met een blinde je zicht op de Bijbel verdiept. Want wiens perspectief telt er eigenlijk mee? Dat van de 'normale, gezonde' mens? Wie is dat dan? Of ook het perspectief van iemand die blind, doof, of mentaal beperkt is? Hoe lees je dan verhalen over genezing? Of over licht en horen? Aandacht voor dit thema maakt ook bewust van beperking op zich: waar en wat is het? Wie is er op welke manier beperkt, zichtbaar of onzichtbaar? Wat is het belang hiervan voor theologie, missie en kerk-zijn in Nederland, en daarbuiten? Het vierde NZR-Cahier Bijbel en 'beperking'. Contextuele en missiologische perspectieven is voortgevloeid uit de Dom Hélder Câmara-lezing 2018, een samenwerking tussen de Nederlandse Zendingsraad, Kerk in AcAe en het Centrum voor Contextuele Bijbelinterpretatie (PThU/VU). Aan het woord komen o.a. Louise Lawrence (hoogleraar Nieuwe Testament aan de Universiteit van Exeter, VK), Marcel Broesterhuizen (emeritus hoogleraar Pastorale Theologie aan de KU Leuven) enBèe Woord (predikant-pionier in Almere-Poort). Het cahier biedt zo een breed perspecAef: vanuit de wetenschap, uit de pastorale en theologische praktijk in Nederland en internationaal en, met name, van mensen die leven met een beperking. Bijbel en 'beperking'.

The Bible is the book of Ideas. Thus the importance of the Bible is immense to its core as its foundational authority had been established in almost all the country, either directly or indirectly, for their democratic values. As such, the vast Bible dominion to environmental education increases more and more. As it’s coverage area is massive, so does it’s relevance to establish itself for propagating and conserving its eco-theme for its readers through its conditioned catchment area, which would facilitate towards the positive education. The footprint of the Bible is big enough to establish and to plant the environmental value among the believers, and general masses, and to spread the eco-message to the whole world.Therefore,the importance of implementing agencyamplifies numerously. This hugefootprint of the Bible can therefore be used by the Church for theentirety of Environmental Education.
