Trade and Romance
Author: Michael Murrin
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022607160X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In Trade and Romance, Michael Murrin examines the complex relations between the expansion of trade in Asia and the production of heroic romance in Europe from the second half of the thirteenth century through the late seventeenth century. He shows how these tales of romance, ostensibly meant for the aristocracy, were important to the growing mercantile class as a way to gauge their own experiences in traveling to and trading in these exotic locales. Murrin also looks at the role that growing knowledge of geography played in the writing of the creative literature of the period, tracking how accurate, or inaccurate, these writers were in depicting far-flung destinations, from Iran and the Caspian Sea all the way to the Pacific. With reference to an impressive range of major works in several languages—including the works of Marco Polo, Geoffrey Chaucer, Matteo Maria Boiardo, Luís de Camões, Fernão Mendes Pinto, Edmund Spenser, John Milton, and more—Murrin tracks numerous accounts by traders and merchants through the literature, first on the Silk Road, beginning in the mid-thirteenth century; then on the water route to India, Japan, and China via the Cape of Good Hope; and, finally, the overland route through Siberia to Beijing. All of these routes, originally used to exchange commodities, quickly became paths to knowledge as well, enabling information to pass, if sometimes vaguely and intermittently, between Europe and the Far East. These new tales of distant shores fired the imagination of Europe and made their way, with surprising accuracy, as Murrin shows, into the poetry of the period.

How to Live a Maximized Life
Author: Rodney Lewis Boyd
Publisher: WordCrafts Press
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
You Can Live a Positive Lifestyle or You Can Live a Negative Lifestyle. The Choice is Yours! Choose. But Choose Wisely. There is no shortage of books that have been written about having a Positive Mental Attitude (P.M.A.), and how to be successful in your business, your marriage, with your finances, and in your life. Some people believe these books are only about how to "get rich quick." Others say that the idea is more about thinking only positive thoughts, speaking only positive words, and doing only positive things, with the end result of producing a positive life.On the surface, that really does sound like a great way to live. Who doesn't want to be healthy, wealthy, and wise. But without a relationship with God, those positive vibes will soon turn into negative vibes.Make no mistake, there is an abundance of hucksters, charlatans, scam & flim-flam artists-some who claim to be Christians-who are out to make a quick buck off the gullible. But just because their are con artists and wolves in sheep's clothing out there doesn't mean everything being taught about working diligently to live a successful life and having a Positive Mental Attitude is all a sham. Indeed, there is much truth to be gleaned from such teaching. Bible teacher Rodney Lewis Boyd wrote this book to make sure that true believers in Jesus Christ, the Risen Savior, do not throw out the baby with the bathwater concerning true prosperity and true success.

Charles River
Author: Robert Allan Hill
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 163087910X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
This collection of theological essays, spiritual meditations, public prayers, and biblical interpretations provides a focus, day by day, for contemplation and reflection. By intention they are offered in media res, in the midst of the cacophony and chaos of life and particularly of academic life. These pages are markings along the journey, on the trail, and thus perhaps signposts for others coming along the same way. To some degree, the collection responds to similar, recent publication of 200-word daily selections from the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The assembly of materials revisits a favorite form of an earlier Dean of Marsh Chapel, Howard Thurman. Thurman easily and regularly captured thought and feeling in an assortment of forms--prayer, sermon, hymn, poem, litany, sermon--and worried very little about repetitions or the jostling inherent in formal variety. Charles River follows after these and similar works, and is offered as a daily resource for those receiving and offering, the divine grace of freedom, acceptance, forgiveness, pardon, and love.

Toward a Common Hope
Author: Robert Allan Hill
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532657439
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Our churches and our country long for an expression of common hope. Over the last century, venerable voices in affirmation of a common faith and a common ground have been lifted and heard in Boston, such as those of John Dewey and Howard Thurman. The Dean of Marsh Chapel, Robert Allan Hill, has preached on themes related to a common hope since 2006. Hill has lifted the theology of hope, of a common hope, at the marrow of the gospel. We cherish our forebears, who taught about a common faith and preached a common ground. In church and culture today in America, it is the prospect of a lasting, sturdy, shared hope, more purple than either blue or red, for which we hunger. The sermons about a common hope collected here were preached at the Chautauqua Institution in August of 2017.
