Book Description
In recent years the role of religion in the avant-garde has begun to attract scholarly interest. The present volume focuses on the work of the Romanian Jewish poet and visual artist Isidore Isou (1925–2007) who founded the lettrist movement in the 1940s. The Jewish tradition played a critical part in the Western avant-garde as represented by lettrism. The links between lettrism and Judaism are substantial, yet they have been largely unexplored until now. The study investigates the works of a movement that explicitly emphasises its vanguard position while relying on a medieval religious tradition as a source of radical textual techniques. It accounts for lettrism’s renunciation of mainstream traditions in favour of a subversive tradition, in this case Jewish mysticism. The religious inclination of lettrism also affects the notion of the avant-garde. The elements of the Jewish tradition in Isou’s theories and artistic production evoke a broader framework where religion and experimental art supplement each other.

Learning Messiah
Author: Edjan Westerman
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532654278
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Israel's election, calling, and history make up a big part of Scripture. It could be said that they belong to the "DNA of the Bible." But why is it then that the Christian narrative about the Messiah, Israel, and the nations, often seemed to have and sometimes even still has a different "genetic structure"? Does Israel--together with its election and promises--leave God's stage through a side door, when Jesus appears on stage? Does a changing of roles take place, within a different story? Does the Messiah function within it as some kind of "black hole" in which the eternal election and calling of Israel disappear? How do we read God's way? The Holocaust made us realize that our de-Jew-ized reading and preaching of Scripture contributed in various ways to this catastrophe. And we find ourselves confronted by the question: How does the narrative of the Bible then look when the whole of Scripture plays a decisive role, and the faithfulness of God toward Israel stays in the center? This book presents an answer to these questions, calling us to learn to read God's way anew, and to walk in it.

The Story of the Messiah

Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490865519
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
The Story of the Messiah exposes a host of Jewish customs, attitudes, political sects, and institutions during the time of Christ and chronicles the events of His life in Hebrew fashion while harmonizing the accounts of the four Gospel writers. Surely the setting, characters, and plot of this two-thousand-year-old narrative are not unfamiliar, but while snippets of Jesus life have warmed the hearts of countless readers and listeners, a complete story of our beloved Savior is rarely gleaned. To remedy this vacuum, the author has embellished a chronicle of the life of Jesus by: shining a light on first-century Judaism providing historical and factual information pertaining to the Jews in a Greco-Roman world including numerous tidbitsboth credible and incrediblethat were pertinent to the various characters and episodes highlighting solutions to the apparent discrepancies proffered by the original authors Beginning with Gods covenant with Abraham and a brief history of Israel, this rendition of Jesus story gathers truth from the prophets of the old standard as well as meaning from Paul and other writers of the New Testament. The final curtain closes on the Day of Pentecost, when God fulfilled His promise of the Holy Spirit.

At about the Time of the End
Author: Anaviel Ben Eleazer
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1622126114
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
The Ancient Hebrew scriptures are many thousands of years old. However, these influential texts still have the potential to influence our daily lives profoundly as well as to shape world events. At About the Time of the End is a new book that seeks to examine biblical narratives pertaining to Ancient Hebraic roots while juxtaposing them with scientific findings in the areas of archeology and evolutionary genetics. Author Anaviel Ben Eleazer originally composed the chapters that comprise the book as a series of individual essays. In compiling them into a book, it is his hope that the reader will be presented with an alternate view of biblical history and a new understanding of Ancient Hebraic scripture. The book is written from the informed perspective of someone who has lived in a Hebrew community in Israel for nearly four decades. At About the Time of the End presents nuanced views on a variety of biblical subjects and employs a new perception and understanding that's based on a deep appreciation of the Hebrew language and the Ancient Hebrew lexicon in particular. Anaviel Ben Eleazer was born in Atlanta, GA and raised in Detroit, MI. However, since 1974 he has lived in Israel, where he raised his family in the Negev town of Arad. While also running his own entertainment-booking agency, he has authored numerous articles and other short pieces over the years. At About the Time of the End is his first published work.

Jesus
Author: James Crossley
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1803410833
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
'Precise, clear, accessible, and important. I can think of no better introduction to the historical Jesus for the general reader, no clearer statement on the legacy of the Jesus movement in the sweep of subsequent history, or a more worthy challenge to contemporary scholarship on Jesus and the rise of Christianity.' Neil Elliott, author of Liberating Paul: The Justice of God and the Politics of the Apostle What made the Jesus movement tick? By situating the life of Jesus of Nazareth in the turbulent troubles of first-century Palestine, Crossley and Myles give a thrilling historical-materialist take on the historical Jesus. Delivering a wealth of knowledge on the social, economic, and cultural conflicts of the time, Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict uncovers the emergence of a fervent and deadly serious religious organizer whose social and religious movement offered not only a radical end-time edict of divine reversal and judgment but also a promising new world order ruled in the interests of the peasantry. The movement's popular appeal was due in part to a desire to represent the values of ordinary rural workers, and its vision meant that the rich would have to give up their wealth, while the poor would be afforded a life of heavenly luxury. Tensions flared up considerably when the movement marched on Jerusalem and Jesus was willingly martyred for the cause. Crossley and Myles offer a vivid portrait of the man and his movement and uncover the material conditions that converged to make it happen.

The Way of Jesus Christ
Author: Jürgen Moltmann
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 9781451412079
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
The Way of Jesus Christ discusses the following topics: 1. The symbol of the way embodies the aspect of process and brings out christology's alignment towards its goal. This symbol can comprehend Christ's way from his birth in the Spirit and his baptism in the Spirit to his self-surrender on Golgotha. It also makes it possible to understand the path of Christ as the way leading from his resurrection to his parousia-the way he takes in the Spirit to Israel, to the nations, and into the breadth and depth of the cosmos. 2. The symbol of the way makes us aware that every human christology is historically conditioned and limited. Every human christology is a 'christology of the way, ' not yet a 'christology of the home country, ' a christology of faith, not yet a christology of sight. So christology is no more than the beginning of eschatology; and eschatology, as the Christian faith understands it, is always the consummation of christology. 3. Finally, but not least important: every way is an invitation. A way is something to be followed. 'The way of Jesus Christ' is not merely a christological category. It is an ethical category too. Anyone who enters upon Christ's way will discover who Jesus really is; and anyone who really believes in Jesus and the Christ of God will follow him along the way he himself took. Christology and christopraxis find one another in the full and completed knowledge of Christ. This christology links dogmatics and ethics in closer detail than in the previous volumes.
