Pictures of the Heart
Author: Joshua S. Mostow
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 082486395X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
"This book provides, for the first time in English, the kind of information that allows an accurate appreciation of the meanings and quality of Japanese poems.... Mostow's reception-oriented approach in this poem-by-poem discussion inspires an excellent essay on the history of English translations of this collection." --Choice "Joshua Mostow offers a brilliant and multifaceted exploration of Japanese poetics through translations, commentaries, and both literary and visual readings of the most influential of all poem anthologies. This book penetrates to the heart of traditional Japanese aesthetics." --Stephen Addiss, University of Richmond "...a rigorous and engaging study of an extremely important Japanese text. It is filled with information and shows a real appreciation for the often unarticulated assumptions that lay behind certain understandings--both Japanese and Western--concerning meaning and significance in a work of literature. The study breaks still further ground by articulating, and in the most persuasive fashion, issues relating to text and image that are central to the Japanese arts in virtually all periods. Professor Mostow has written a book that should interest not only specialists in the fields of Japanese literature and fine arts, but virtually anyone who enjoys reading poetry in an active and thoughtful fashion." --J. Thomas Rimer, University of Pittsburgh

Liturgy and the Beauty of the Unknown
Author: Dr David Torevell
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409477851
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Contemporary culture is rediscovering the importance of beauty for both social transformation and personal happiness. Theologians have sought, in their varied ways, to demonstrate how God's beauty is associated with notions of truth and goodness. This book breaks new ground by suggesting that liturgy is the means par excellence by which an experience of beauty is communicated. Drawing from both secular and religious understandings, in particular the mystical and apophatic tradition, the book demonstrates how liturgy has the potential to achieve the one ultimately reliable form of beauty because its embodied components are able to reflect the disturbing beauty of the One to whom worship is always offered. Such components rely on understanding the aesthetic dynamics upon which liturgy relies. This book draws from a broad range of disciplines concerned with understanding beauty and self-transformation and concludes that while secular utopian forms have much to contribute to ethical transformation, they ultimately fail since they lack the Christological and eschatological framework needed, which liturgy alone provides.

In His Image

ISBN: 1532685815

Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
“A Disciple…will be like his teacher.” (Luke 6:40) What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? The ultimate goal of discipleship is to be like the Teacher—to be like Jesus Himself. Every Christian wants to understand what that means. But even if we understand it, is it possible? Michael Wilkins asserts that it’s not only possible, it’s a life that all Christians are called to—not just a select few. So why do we so seldom experience it? As Wilkins points out, even the first followers of Jesus had a hard time grasping what it meant to be His disciples. Like them, our difficulty often lies in not clearly understanding who Jesus is, not recognizing the resources available to us as God’s children, or not believing who we are to be as Christ’s followers. But like the early disciples, our lives can radically change. If we want to follow Jesus, we can become like Him. “Jesus takes us exactly as He finds us,” writes Wilkins, “and transforms us into His likeness.” So come, learn what it means to walk with Jesus and reflect His image to the real world.

Confliction of the Heart and Mind
Author: Leon Ivy
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1524609544
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
This collection of poems is based on what my heart, mind, and soul went through. Yes, it all started when I didnt know who my real father was. Even to this day, I dont know. I coped with relationships that I thought was good for me but wasnt. I led myself to believe that it was okay to feel the way I felt. So I started writing, and it gave me a sense of peace. I found my Heavenly Father, and even though I had peace, I still lacked that physical connection I felt I never had. Through my writing, I felt in my heart that everyone who went through what I went through handled it differently. I do want to clear up one thing about my writing. Its not physical; its more emotional and mental than anything. I struggled, but through my writing, I made it, and now I want to share my heartache, emotional roller coaster, and mental stability. I hope writing of what I felt in my life can relate to your problem and that, through my writing, I can help you realize that you are a special person in the eye of our Heavenly Father. No matter what life throws at you, you can make it. I hope you enjoy the poems.
