Book Description
Ruth Calderon has recently electrified the Jewish world with her teachings of talmudic texts. In this volume, her first to appear in English, she offers a fascinating window into some of the liveliest and most colorful stories in the Talmud. Calderon rewrites talmudic tales as richly imagined fictions, drawing us into the lives of such characters as the woman who risks her life for a sister suspected of adultery; a humble schoolteacher who rescues his village from drought; and a wife who dresses as a prostitute to seduce her pious husband in their garden. Breathing new life into an ancient text, A Bride for One Night offers a surprising and provocative read, both for anyone already intimate with the Talmud and for anyone interested in one of the most influential works of Jewish literature.

From a Shattered Sun
Author: Susan McKinnon
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299131548
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Among a growing number of ethnographies of eastern Indonesia that deal with cosmology, exchange, and kinship, From a Shattered Sun is the first to address squarely issues originally broached by Edmund Leach and Claude Lévi-Strauss concerning the relation between hierarchy and equality in asymmetric systems of marriage. On the basis of extensive fieldwork in the Tamimbar islands, Susan McKinnon analyzes the simultaneous presence of both closed, asymmetric cycles and open, asymmetric pathways of alliance--of both egalitarian and hierarchical configurations. In addition, Tamimbarese society is marked by the existence of multiple, differentially valued forms of marriage, affiliation, and residence. Rather than seeing these various forms as analytically separable types, McKinnon demonstrates that it is only by viewing them as integrally related--in terms of culturally specific understandings of "houses," gender, and exchange--that one can perceive the processes through which hierarchy and equality are created.

What Do You Call Him? Unveiling 160 Names of God
Author: Shavonne R. Ruffin
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666715808
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Our God is beyond a one-name moniker. Identifying an unidentifiable God seems to be an improbable challenge as to who can describe a God that goes beyond description. Limiting God to a few names does not negate his power, but it does limit the power we allow him to have in our lives. What Do You Call Him? Unveiling 160 Names of God will unleash this power from knowing about him to having a relationship with him. Unfortunately, we lack knowledge of God not because of an unwillingness to learn but because of the limits that we place on his name. Learning more about the names of God allows for a transition from knowing about him to making him known. This book aims to give biblical accounts behind the meaning of 160 names of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit to help close the gap on some of the mysteries of God and truly determine what we call him.

The Testimony of Yahuchanon
Author: Paul Sides
Publisher: Rav Sha'ul
ISBN: 1717235301
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 774
Book Description
Yahusha came at the fullness of time or rather the time of the fulfillment of The Plan of Salvation written in the stars. He came to fulfill what is promised and written (LOGOS/DABAR) in The Heavenly Scroll on Earth “in the flesh”. Yahusha’s Message was the same as Yahuchanon/John the Immerser’s that we are to repent and follow The Way because The Kingdom proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll is at hand as he came to fulfill it at just the right time. We have been blinded by tradition and religion to deny The Heavenly Scroll and commit what the Scriptures call the two evils by denying Yahusha was the fulfillment of ORION and AQUARIUS! The Bible is the story of The Battle of the Ages that plays out in the stars/constellations between ORION The Son of Man and The Dragon/Serpent. That battle then plays out on Earth and is documented from Genesis to Revelation. This battle between The Son of Man and The Dragon materializes in the personal life of Yahusha the Messiah as he is the fulfillment of ORION and AQUARIUS. This Battle plays out over the ages of mankind foretold in The Heavenly Scroll where the Messiah comes in the 4th Prophetic Day and The Dragon strikes his heel and he crushes the head of the Serpent. In the Gospel of Yahchanan/John we see that Yahusha ascends to read The Heavenly Mysteries (secrets preserved in The Heavenly Scroll Enoch 9:6) as confirmed by Daniyahel/Daniel (Chapter 7) and Yahchanan/John (in the Book of Revelation Chapter 5). We also see that Yahusha brought his knowledge of The Secret Divine Counsel, which is The Heavenly Scroll, with him in his ministry and that is what he taught exclusively (Matthew 4:16-17)! This book restores back to the Messiah his mission and his message and for the first time delivers an accurate rendition of his teachings which astonished every one who heard him speak. This book is the restoration of the Gospel of John bringing back to the text The Word of Yahuah's Testimony that Yahusha is the Messiah written in the stars and the Doctrine of Righteousness called The Way.

Apocalypse and the Magnificent Sevens
Author: Bonnie Gaunt
Publisher: Adventures Unlimited Press
ISBN: 9781931882033
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This is a fresh and exciting look at the book of Revelation. It is made surprisingly simple with the aid of sacred geometry and the ancient science of Gematria (the Bible's Number Code). Bonnie Gaunt has been researching the Gematria of the Bible for nearly forty years. Her work has received world-wide acclaim. In this, her latest research, she reveals an amazing story that is hidden in the Apocalypse. It is a story that touches the lives of every one of us, because we are living in it. But Apocalypse need not be the picture of doom that some have supposed. It is a beautiful story of hope for a world that surely needs it. Today, with the threat of terrorists and the tragic loss of human life they have wrought, it is comforting to find positive assurance in the prophetic message that has been given to us -- assurance that our world is in safe hands, and under the control of a God who has a magnificent plan for the ultimate joy of His human family.Chapters include: The Apocalypse and its two groups of sevens; The Right of Rulership; The Sevens and Tens of the Apocalypse; Marching Around Jericho; The Treasures of Jericho; The Seventh Trumpet; The Light of Seven Moons; No More Sevens; The Music of the Ages; The Pythagorean Comma seven octaves and twelve perfect fifths.
