Donatello and the Dawn of Renaissance Art
Author: A. Victor Coonin
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1789141672
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The Italian sculptor known as Donatello helped to forge a new kind of art—one that came to define the Renaissance. His work was progressive, challenging, and even controversial. Using a variety of novel sculptural techniques and innovative interpretations, Donatello uniquely depicted themes involving human sexuality, violence, spirituality, and beauty. But to really understand Donatello, one needs to understand his changing world, marked by the transition from Medieval to Renaissance style and to an art that was more personal and representative of the modern self. Donatello was not just a man of his times, he helped shape the spirit of the times he lived in and profoundly influenced those that came after. In this beautifully illustrated book—the first thorough biography of Donatello in twenty-five years—A. Victor Coonin describes the full extent of Donatello’s revolutionary contributions, revealing how his work heralded the emergence of modern art.

NonProphet Woke

ISBN: 9781655537585
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
This is the story of a woman who was once part of church. She had served in various capacities for many years and was known as a prophet and a spiritual daughter by the apostle in that church. Then one day, her and her husband expressed some concerns and questions regarding some teaching in the body. That one action caused a cascade of events in a matter of a few months, resulting in her having to make one of the most difficult decisions of her life. After nearly two decades at this ministry, she would walk away from the only church she had ever known. The woman who had once been identified as a prophet became a nobody to the apostle. She was slandered and falsely accused of things that brought pain and despair, but God used this situation to show her the truth. She began to study the Word of God and became a disciple hungering and thirsting for righteousness. This is the story of the nonprophet. The purpose of this book is to draw attention to potential spiritual abuse and damaging behavior in the church. As you read this book, you will be challenged and empowered to search the Scriptures for yourself and to test things you may have been taught in the Charismatic church. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are to test teachings and to discern properly according to the Word and the Holy Spirit. I pray this book does just that.

An Introduction to German Pietism
Author: Douglas H. Shantz
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421408309
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
An up-to-date portrait of a defining moment in the Christian story—its beginnings, worldview, and cultural significance. Winner of the Dale W. Brown Book Award of the Young Center for Anabaptists and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College An Introduction to German Pietism provides a scholarly investigation of a movement that changed the history of Protestantism. The Pietists can be credited with inspiring both Evangelicalism and modern individualism. Taking into account new discoveries in the field, Douglas H. Shantz focuses on features of Pietism that made it religiously and culturally significant. He discusses the social and religious roots of Pietism in earlier German Radicalism and situates Pietist beginnings in three cities: Frankfurt, Leipzig, and Halle. Shantz also examines the cultural worlds of the Pietists, including Pietism and gender, Pietists as readers and translators of the Bible, and Pietists as missionaries to the far reaches of the world. He not only considers Pietism's role in shaping modern western religion and culture but also reflects on the relevance of the Pietist religious paradigm of today. The first survey of German Pietism in English in forty years, An Introduction to German Pietism provides a narrative interpretation of the movement as a whole. The book's accessible tone and concise portrayal of an extensive and complex subject make it ideal for courses on early modern Christianity and German history. The book includes appendices with translations of German primary sources and discussion questions.
