Book Description
Teenage Prince Maxwell has shipwrecked on the strange Bowyang Island and finds himself on an adventure to find cursed treasure. The chest of King Azurpah contains a bottomless well of gold and jewels. One could empty the chest of all its gold but the chest would refill. On his journey a native of the island, Eddison, joins him. A boy who knows nothing about his past life or how he got on the island. Also accompanying them is the wise thrill-seeking Marinus the Waterbender. These three are not alone on their quest. The island itself is alive with talking trees, gorillas, mermaids and even bloodthirsty pyrates, led by the unhinged Captain Anne Belle. Will the boys claim the never ending treasure? Or will this band of pirates halt their quest at every turn.

Siva's Saints
Author: Gil Ben-Herut
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019087886X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Comprising more than twelve million people and renowned for their resistance to Brahminical values, the Virasaivas are a vibrant and unorthodox religious community with a provocative socio-political voice. The Virasaiva tradition has produced a vast and original body of literature, composed mostly in Kannada, a Dravidian language from south India. Siva's Saints introduces a previously unexplored and central primary work produced in the early thirteenth century, the Ragalegalu. This was the first narrative text written about the incipient devotional tradition dedicated to the god Siva in the Kannada-speaking regions; through stories of the saints, it images the life of this new religious community. The Ragalegalu inaugurated a new era in the production of devotional narratives accessible to wide audiences. Gil Ben-Herut challenges common notions about this tradition in its nascent phases. By closely reading the saints' stories in this text, Siva's Saints takes a more nuanced historical view than commonly-held notions about the egalitarian and iconoclastic nature of the early tradition, arguing instead that early bhakti (devotionalism) in the Kannada-speaking region was less-radical and more accommodating toward traditional religious, social, and political institutions than thought of today. In contrast to the narrowly sectarian and exclusionary vision that shapes later accounts, the Ragalegalu is characterized by an opposite impulse of offering an open invitation to people from all walks of life, and their stories illustrate the richness of their devotional lives. Analysis of this seminal text yields important insights into the role of literary representation of the social and political development of a religious community in a pre-modern and non-Western milieu.

Expository notes on the Gospel of Matthew
Author: H.A. Ironside
Publisher: Solid Christian Books
ISBN: 1511961422
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Much of the material embodied in this volume has appeared in the course of the past nine years, in The Sunday School Times, and is used here in accordance with an understanding had with, and permission given by, the owners of that periodical when I assumed responsibility for the leading article on the weekly International Lesson. With so much matter already in print and available for use, it was thought best not to wait until circumstances permitted me to give a series of lectures on Matthew to be stenographically reported and edited for publication, but rather to write a connected exposition, filling in with new material what was lacking in the notes from The Sunday School Times. This accounts for the different form in which this book appears to those on the other Gospels for which I have been responsible. I send the book out with the earnest prayer that it may prove helpful to many. —H. A. Ironside
