Ninety-Two Poems and Hymns of Yehuda Halevi
Author: Judah
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791443897
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
This is the first publication in English of Franz Rosenzweig's 1927 translation of and commentaries on ninety-two poems and hymns of the greatest medieval "singer of Zion", Yehuda Halevi (born circa 1080). Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) is widely recognized as one of the greatest Jewish philosophers of the modern period and his Star of Redemption is considered one of the most important twentieth-century contributions to Jewish -- and Christian -- theology. Rosenzweig's original and brilliant commentaries open a window into the final developments of his own thought: his debates with Protestant theology, his reservations regarding modern science and culture, and his progressive appreciation for the wisdom of the Jewish tradition. They are a testament not only to the profound vision of Judaism embedded in the poetry of Yehuda Halevi, but to the ever vibrant and deepening sagacity of Franz Rosenzweig himself.

Abide As That
Author: Jason Brett Serle
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1789042356
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
There are some writings that transcend time and tradition and speak to the ever-present heart of the human experience. Simple yet profound, challenging yet compassionate, the Song of Ribhu is one such example of this. In the same tradition as the Bhagavad Gita or the Ashtavakra Gita, the Ribhu Gita, literally the Song of Ribhu represents the highest declaration of Advaita Vedanta, spoken by the enlightened sage Ribhu to his disciple Nidagha on the slopes of Mount Kedara in the Himalayas. Some 2,500 years later, another awakened master, Sri Ramana Maharshi was touched by these same words, considering them to be one of the most sublime expressions of the awakened state that humanity had ever produced. He spoke of it reverently and would even give copies to his devotees to read. The version that follows is a selection, made by Sri Ramana Maharshi himself, of 45 verses that capture the very essence of the Ribhu Gita - an essence that this fresh and masterful modern translation manages to communicate in simple and elegant English, perfectly adapted to the Western reader. The book also contains the story of Ribhu and Nidagha as told by Sri Ramana Maharshi, as well as excerpts from informal talks with his students to further clarify the themes.

Alan Watts–Here and Now
Author: Peter J. Columbus
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438442017
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Alan Watts—Here and Now explores the intellectual legacy and continuing relevance of a prolific writer and speaker who was a major influence on American culture during the latter half of the twentieth century. A thinker attuned to the spiritual malaise affecting the Western mind, Watts (1915–1973) provided intellectual and spiritual alternatives that helped shape the Beat culture of the 1950s and the counterculture of the 1960s. Well known for introducing Buddhist and Daoist spirituality to a wide Western audience, he also wrote on psychology, mysticism, and psychedelic experience. Many idolized Watts as a guru-mystic, yet he was also dismissed as intellectually shallow and as a mere popularizer of Asian religions (the "Norman Vincent Peale of Zen"). Both critical and appreciative, this edited volume locates Watts at the forefront of major paradigmatic shifts in Western intellectual life. Contributors explore how Watts's work resonates in present-day scholarship on psychospiritual transformation, Buddhism and psychotherapy, Daoism in the West, phenomenology and hermeneutics, humanistic and transpersonal psychology, mysticism, and ecofeminism, among other areas.

Book Description
I gladly comply to the request of many at the release of this bundle of sermons, to write an introductory word. As far as these sermons are concerned, they were spoken by me in my beloved congregation and brought to the press by a few well wishing, truth loving friends. It can never be appreciated enough. Herewith, our heartfelt thanks. They are straight forward sermons. Those who would rather read an exegetical or theological sermon would be better off laying these to the side. However, if it is about the experimental Truth, then I hope you may find a crumb of food for your soul in them, for comfort or edification, for discovery or the uncovering of false foundations. But together with all this, that the Name of the Lord may be exalted and praised, and that our souls may be comforted, is our wish and prayer for all readers. To God's honour and the salvation of His people. Reverend A. van Straalen
