Prophecy in the New Millennium
Author: Suzanne Newcombe
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317074599
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Secular and spiritual prophets of doom abound in the information-rich twenty-first century - as they have for millennia. But there has yet to be worldwide floods, meteor impact, global computer failure, obvious alien contact, or direct intervention from God to end the world as we know it. Considering the frequency with which prophecy apparently fails, why do prophecies continue to be made, and what social functions do they serve? This volume gives a concise, but comprehensive, overview of the rich diversity of prophecy, its role in major world religions as well as in new religions and alternative spiritualties, its social dynamics and its impact on individuals’ lives. Academic analyses are complimented with contextualized primary source testimonies of those who live and have lived within a prophetic framework. The book argues that the key to understanding the more dramatic, apocalyptic and millenarian aspects of prophecy is in appreciating prophecy’s more mundane manifestations and its role in providing meaning and motivation in everyday life.

Summary of Andrew Cockburn's Kill Chain
Author: Everest Media,
Publisher: Everest Media LLC
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 2010, two small SUV’s and a four-door pickup truck headed down a dirt road in the mountains of southern Afghanistan. They had set out soon after midnight, traveling cross-country to reach Highway 1, which would lead them to Kandahar and north to Kabul. #2 The video was being watched at Hurlburt Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle by a dedicated team of young men and women, who were in charge of sending the videos out to their various destinations. #3 The ultimate beneficiary of all these complex arrangements was a sergeant attached to the raiding party. He was responsible for communicating via radio with any air support, and relaying orders and intelligence to and from the young captain commanding the party. #4 The video received by the troops on the ground that night in Uruzgan was even poorer. It was described as crap, full of static and crackling.

Lord Cockburn
Author: Lord Henry Cockburn Cockburn
Publisher: John Donald Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Born and educated in Edinburgh, he became an advocate in 1800 and gained a reputation for persuasive handling of seemingly desperate cases, most famously that of Helen MacDougall, common law wife of the body-snatcher William Burke, in 1828. Like his compatriot and fellow judge Thomas Jeffrey, Cockburn was converted to Whig principles, contributing articles to Jeffrey's Edinburgh Review and writing his biography (Life of Lord Jeffrey, 1852). Although this was the only major work Cockburn published during his lifetime, his reputation as a man of letters rests principally on his journals, which were published posthumously as Memorials of His Time (1856), The Journal of Henry Cockburn (1874) and Circuit Journeys (1888). Together they present an enormously informative and valuable portrait of the period and many of its most significant personalities. Cockburn became Rector of Glasgow University in the early 1830s and a Lord of Session in 1834, and was actively involved in the conservation of Edinburgh's historic buildings. Cockburn's published works are complemented by his letters, largely unpublished but preserved by many of his correspondents and their families. This selection of 180 [new] letters provides much fresh information about his career as advocate, judge, Whig activist, genial family man and pioneer in building conservation. Together with the rest of his works, they confirm him as a key figure in that generation of thinkers and artists who followed on from those who made the eighteenth-century Scottish Enlightenment such a rich moment in Europe's cultural history. It is destined to become another classic in the tradition of the Memorials.
