God, Dreams, and Revelation
Author: Morton T. Kelsey
Publisher: Augsburg Books
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
What does the Bible say about dreams? Does God actually speak to us through them? How can they become a source of spiritual insight into life?Morton T. Kelsey, well-known for his writings that connect psychology and religion, puts the meaning of dreams into perspective and helps the reader discover again the richness of the Christian tradition. In this revised and expanded edition, he summarizes new findings in dream research and provides an updated bibliography. A substantial appendix of additional material and an index give further assistance to readers. In his overview of the history of the interpretation of dreams, the author traces the development of Judeo-Christian attitudes about dreams from Old and New Testament times, through the period of the Enlightenment, to the present. Citing Scripture and the views of such diverse writers as St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Plato, Freud, and Jung, Kelsey sets down some practical suggestions for Christians today who wish to understand and learn from their dreams and appreciate the richness of the images and symbols they contain.

Dreams and Visions in African Pentecostal Spirituality
Author: Anna M. Droll
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004541225
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Euro-Western descriptions of knowledge and its sources fall short of accommodating the spiritual, experiential terrain of the imagination. What of the embodied, affective knowing that characterizes Pentecostal epistemology, that is, the distinctive Pentecostal-Charismatic knowing derived from dreams and visions (D/Vs)? In this stunning ethnographic work, the author merges African scholarship with an investigation of what visioners say about the significance of their D/Vs for Christian life and spirituality. Revealing data showcases case studies for their biblical and theological articulations of the value of D/V experiences and affirms them as sources of Pentecostal love, ministerial agency, and the missionary impulse.

The Dream-God, or, A Singular Evolvement of Thought in Sleep
Author: John Cuningham
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The peculiar and startling effect of morphine on a person unaccustomed to its administration, was happily illustrated in the instance of a gentleman to whom, under its influence, (about three eighths of a grain,) the dream to be related occurred. This individual, (a South Carolinian resident on a plantation,) a few years ago, had lately received a severe and extensive burn, which confined him to his bed six months. An allusion by him in a casual conversation in the city of New York recently to the eventful dream and its circumstances, brought out a solicitation to him to write its narrative, which in substance he here gives. One evening in midwinter, a few weeks after the accident, the almost exhausted sufferer, having taken the prescribed nightly dose of morphine, fell asleep. source

Book Description
On Dreams Aristotle On Dreams is a work by Aristotle. Aristotle 384-322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and scientist born in the city of Stagira, Chalkidice, on the northern periphery of Classical Greece. His father, Nicomachus, died when Aristotle was a child, whereafter Proxenus of Atarneus became his guardian. At eighteen, he joined Plato's Academy in Athens and remained there until the age of thirty-seven (c. 347 BC). His writings cover many subjects - including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theater, music, rhetoric, linguistics, politics and government - and constitute the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy. Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip of Macedon, tutored Alexander the Great starting from 343 BC. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Aristotle was the first genuine scientist in history ... We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
