Ngaju Religion
Author: Hans Schärer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401193460
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Hans Scharer was born at Wadenswil (near Zurich), Switzerland, in 1904. After his school years, he was trained for (Protestant) mis sionary work at the Missionshaus in BiHe. For seven years, 1932-1939, he lived among the Ngaju in southern Borneo; first with the Ngaju speaking people of the Katingan river area, later, for a shorter period. with those living along the Barito. He was granted European leave in 1939, and spent the years 1939-1944 studying Ethnology (as it then was called) under Professor J.P.B. de Josselin de Jong at Leiden University. He went home to Switzerland in 1944, but returned to Leiden in 1946 to complete his studies and defend his Ph. D. thesis on Die Gottesidee der N gadju Dajak in Sud-Borneo. It is this thesis which. published by E.J. Brill, Leiden, in 1946, is now being re-issued in English translation. Soon after, he left once more for the Ngaju territory, as Praeses of the Baseler Mission in south Borneo. He died there suddenly on December 10th, 1947, of blood-poisoning. These few biographical data are not merely of some slight historical interest: they help us to understand the man and his work. The present book is Scharer's only major work to have been published, and for Scharer himself it was, in a way, an experiment.

Legends of Agenor
Author: T.M. Crown
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532048629
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
The World of Agenor is a vast place full of magic, grand civilizations, and adventurers of many different professions who wish to make their mark in the world. Marcus Canidae, a warrior mage by trade, became renowned three years prior for the slaying of an ancient dragon thought to have been extinct. It was only thanks to his companions and his unique skills that got him out alive, yet it was an experience that he hoped hed never have to face again. As a warrior mage, he is an exceptional swordsman, yet he has no aptitude for the mystics arts, but learned a form of magic that allows him to face even the most dangerous and experienced of opponents. Even with his accomplishments, he has come to terms that the world he lives in is a cold and deceptive one. After a series of devastating betrayals in his past, he has chosen to turn his back on all forms of society and its people to seek peace in isolation, only emerging where his profession is called upon to make ends meet. Yet fate has a way of disturbing the plans of mortals. After completing a contract, Marcus and his younger brothers find themselves on the run after a rescuing a girl, only to later find out she carries the blood of a dragon and that a secret organization wants her back to use her for some unknown purpose. What began, as a simple mission became a journey that would span all of Agenor. To combat the growing threat, he meets old and new faces to assist him on his quest, yet there are even darker forces that wish to oppose him. Ghosts from Marcus past come back to haunt him, yet he does not understand who they might be, or the reasons why. All he knows is that the girl should not have to suffer, whatever fate has in store for her and if he must stand alone in this then so be it. The Black Wolf has come hunting and for those to cross his path better bring more men to face him.
