Unraveling of the Soul
Author: Amanda Muratoff
Publisher: Amanda Muratoff & Kayla Mansur
ISBN: 173370115X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
A soul can be broken into fragments, but giving them away could cause the rest to unravel. While continuing the ruse of Amarie’s death, Kin suffers at the hands of his master. The path his life must take becomes clear when his mother’s life is jeopardized. Ridding himself of the corrupt power in his veins is his only choice. It is no minor task, but he can’t let Uriel continue to use him and gain the throne of Feyor. Confined to restrictive quarters, Talon has nothing to do but dwell on the circumstances of his life and recent actions. Brought before the Council of Elders while isolated from Amarie, he stands accused of crimes both old and new. He must face the consequences of accompanying her to Eralas and defying his banishment from his homeland. After throwing herself to the mercy of the auer, intent on sparing Talon a horrendous fate, Amarie fears nothing can change the outcome of his sentence. In a drastic act, she bargains with the greatest leverage she has and hopes she isn’t too late. Desperation fuels life-altering decisions, placing the future of Pantracia in grave danger. If those who seek to protect it fail... the kingdoms, and life as they know it, will fall to ash and shadow. Unraveling of the Soul is Part 3 of The Berylian Key Trilogy, and Book 3 in the Pantracia Chronicles.

Theology of the Soul
Author: Martine C. L. Oldhoff
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1978716818
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
Theology of the Soul engages with a thoroughly theological and philosophical subject in fresh and profound ways: the soul. The author examines the possibility of a concept of the soul in modern, Western theology. In the second part of the 20th century speaking about the soul was strongly criticized in Theology and Philosophy. Consequently, many academic theologians consider the word “soul” problematic. Remarkably, the word “soul” is very much present in contemporary culture. This book takes cultural notions of the soul as employed by, for example, Marilynne Robinson and Oprah Winfrey, as a point of departure. The author then investigates the functions of the soul in classical theologies and provides elucidating overviews of the ways in which the soul is discussed and problematized in contemporary Philosophy and Biblical Studies. After introducing the apostle Paul as conversation partner, she reconsiders various contemporary concepts from a Pauline perspective, and offers a constructive systematic theological proposal to speak of the soul in today’s modern theological and cultural contexts. This interdisciplinary study integrates continental and analytic methods and discussions on the soul in Philosophy and Theology, providing a very comprehensive study of the soul.

Good for the Soul
Author: Toby Davidson
Publisher: UWA Publishing
ISBN: 1760802018
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
In his first days as Prime Minister, John Curtin presented himself to the press as a self-styled intellectual who loved sport and relaxing, when he could, with a book, beach walk, game of cards or fossick in the garden. He also revealed that he enjoyed poetry so much that he held to a Sunday night poetry ritual. Curtin was Australia's third wartime Prime Minister, Labor's eighth Prime Minister, and the first Prime Minister from a Western Australian electorate. 'Toby Davidson reveals a new perspective on John Curtin: the poetry of his times, and the poems he himself read. As Davidson shows, Curtin's poetry reading and his reflections upon it influenced his thoughts and language from his socialist youth to the last days of his leadership of a nation transformed by global peril. Good for the Soul: John Curtin's Life with Poetry is a unique, patiently researched and fascinating re-evaluation of Australia's revered wartime Prime Minister.' – John Edwards, author of John Curtin's War Volume I & II 'A stunningly comprehensive account which shows a side of John Curtin we have only glimpsed before. Davidson skilfully traces how poetry was Curtin's companion and ally from his humble beginnings in rural Victoria to his death in office in 1945, two months before the end of World War II.' – Professor David Black, editor of In His Own Words: John Curtin's Speeches and Writings and Friendship is a Sheltering Tree: John Curtin's Letters 1907 to 1945.

Inlets of the Soul
Author: Pierre François
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9789042004368
Category : English fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The relationship of myth to literature has largely been overshadowed in contemporary theory by perspectives of a linguistic or sociological orientation and by relativist, sometimes negatory, stances on all searches for meaning. This book attempts to show that myth criticism and critical theories of more recent provenance are not irreconcilable. While taking into consideration some of the more influential tenets of structuralist, post-structuralist, Marxist and feminist theory, it applies a post-Jungian ('archetypal') approach to illustrating the perennial nature of a particular myth (the Fall of Man) in two main traditions (Mesopotamian and Christian) and in the contemporary novel in English. The discussions of five major novels by William Golding, Patrick White, Martin Amis, Salman Rushdie, and Wilson Harris not only serve to expand the mythological insights achieved in the first part of the book; they also suggest the incommensurability of imaginal, novelistic life with mythology's age-old intuitions about the human condition. Myth criticism emerges from this book as an irreplaceable vantage-point from which man's lapsarian predicament can be scrutinized synchronically as archaic wisdom, contemporary anxiety, and post-colonial commitment to the building of a new human city.
