Book Description
"Restoring the Ancient Paths" A Book Of Restoring Rights and Reclaiming What Has Been Stolen Through history, and said of the present and future as well. Jew and Gentile have been unaware of their destinies that are linked, some would say inexplicably so. In Restoring The Ancient Paths, we survey the profiles of each, while understanding that due to the roles that were given, Jew and Gentile have forever been dependent upon one another. It is in the midst of a historical-chaos, that we see a finely tuned plan emerge; one that is called the mystery of Gods plan. In this, the Jew and gentile have always been caught in a delicate balance of prophetic significance. ...The Church is being disentangled from a history of anti-Semitism; find out how she will finally discover her final mandate-"All Israel " ...The Jewish people have survived the most horrific of episodes throughout human history-Learn the five supernatural reasons (Laws of Zion, ) that made their survival possible. ...Precept upon precept, discover the biblical basis for the link between God's Chosen People and the nations, Israel's role in the kingdom to come, and how the early church separated from the Jews. ...Son of a Holocaust survivor on his paternal side, and Nazi resistance leader on his maternal side, Felix Halpern is senior leader of Beth Chofesh a Messianic Congregation. He serves as Nationally Appointed Missionary to the Jewish people and President of the National Jewish Fellowship of the Assemblies of God. Before ministry, he established a successful career in the Diamond and Gold business in New York City that spanned two decades working with the Orthodox and Hassidic Jewish communities. Married over 30 years, father of two daughters, Felix serves with a passion to see the "light of Messiah" come to his people.

Paths in the Rainforests
Author: Jan M. VansinaPublisher: University of Wisconsin Pres
ISBN: 0299125734
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Vansina’s scope is breathtaking: he reconstructs the history of the forest lands that cover all or part of southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, the Congo, Zaire, the Central African Republic, and Cabinda in Angola, discussing the original settlement of the forest by the western Bantu; the periods of expansion and innovation in agriculture; the development of metallurgy; the rise and fall of political forms and of power; the coming of Atlantic trade and colonialism; and the conquest of the rainforests by colonial powers and the destruction of a way of life. “In 400 elegantly brilliant pages Vansina lays out five millennia of history for nearly 200 distinguishable regions of the forest of equatorial Africa around a new, subtly paradoxical interpretation of ‘tradition.’” —Joseph Miller, University of Virginia “Vansina gives extended coverage . . . to the broad features of culture and the major lines of historical development across the region between 3000 B.C. and A.D. 1000. It is truly an outstanding effort, readable, subtle, and integrative in its interpretations, and comprehensive in scope. . . . It is a seminal study . . . but it is also a substantive history that will long retain its usefulness.”—Christopher Ehret, American Historical Review
Paths to the Absolute
Author: John GoldingPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691252947
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
A groundbreaking account of the meaning of abstract painting From Mondrian's bold geometric forms to Kandinsky's use of symbols to Pollock's "dripped paintings," the richly diverse movement of abstract painting challenges anyone trying to make sense of either individual works or the phenomenon as a whole. Applying his insights as an art historian and a painter, John Golding offers a unique approach to understanding the evolution of abstractionism by looking at the personal artistic development of seven of its greatest practitioners. He re-creates the journey undertaken by each painter in his move from representational art to the abstract—a journey that in most cases began with cubism but led variously to symbolism, futurism, surrealism, theosophy, anthropology, Jungian analysis, and beyond. For each artist, spiritual quest and artistic experimentation became inseparable. And despite their different techniques and philosophies, these artists shared one goal: to break a path to a new, ultimate pictorial truth. The book first explores the works and concerns of three pioneering European abstract painters—Mondrian, Malevich, Kandinsky—and then those of their American successors—Pollock, Newman, Rothko, and Still. Golding shows how each painter sought to see the world and communicate his vision in the purest or most expressive form possible. For example, Mondrian found his way into abstraction through a spiritual response to the landscape of his native Holland, Malevich through his apprehension of the human body, Kandinsky through a blend of religious mysticism and symbolism. Line and color became the focus for many of their creative endeavors. In the 1940s and 50s, the Americans raised the level of pictorial innovation, beginning most notably with Pollock and his Jung-inspired concept of action. Golding makes a powerful case that at its best and most profound, abstract painting is heavily imbued with meaning and content. Through a blend of biography, art analysis, and cultural history, Paths to the Absolute offers remarkable insights into how a sense of purpose is achieved in painting, and how abstractionism engaged with the intellectual currents of its time.
