Codex Bezae: An Early Christian Manuscript And Its Text
by D. C. ParkerCodex Bezae is one of the most important primary sources in New Testament scholarship. Since its rediscovery in the sixteenth century it has continued to fascinate scholars, who have remained intrigued by the riddles of its general appearance and textual characteristics. David Parker makes the first comprehensive investigation of the manuscript for over a century, and sets out to uncover the story behind this most enigmatic of manuscripts. By studying the characteristics of Codex Bezae, both physical and textual, and by comparing its Greek and Latin texts, the author aims to show how a bilingual tradition developed, and thus to discover as much as possible about its earliest stages, which leads to an important new theory about its origins. In a final section, the general character of the text is assessed with a view to what this can tell us of the earliest traditions about Jesus.

Codzienne inspiracje
by Kasia Kulesa Ulrike MariaOpis książki: W dzisiejszych czasach w Internecie można znaleźć wiele twierdzeń, które zdają się być mądre, prawdziwe i wskazujące dobry kierunek. Nic one jednak nie znaczą, jeśli aktywnie ich nie zastosujesz. Twoje życie nie ulegnie zmianie jeśli każdego dnia nie wprowadzisz w życie nowych i ulepszonych przemyśleń. Moja praca polega na pokazaniu jak krok po kroku zmienić mój i Twój sposób myślenia. Odnosi się ona również do wyższych koncepcji Wszechświata, łącząc Jednostkę ze Świadomością Wszechświata; pamiętając, że wszyscy jesteśmy Jednością. Ukazuję zupełnie inne i praktyczne podejście, do przyjęcia przez każdego kto ma szczerą chęć ulepszenia swojego życia i otoczenia. Mówię o zastosowaniu a nie stwierdzeniu prawdy. Nieważne jak często powtarzasz jakieś stwierdzenie, możesz być pewny, że nie sprawdzi się dopóki nie wprowadzisz go w czyn. Być może myślisz, że znasz Prawa Wszechświata i rozumiesz niektóre idee 4 wymiaru-... ale co wtedy? Wiarygodność i zrozumienie wynika z doświadczenia. Udowadniania sobie, że Prawa działają i w jaki sposób działają. Aby znaleźć Prawdę potrzeba Zaangażowania. "Szukajcie a znajdziecie" - to potrzeba silnego pragnienia aby zrozumieć dzieło Życia. Potrzeba przekonania do uczenia się, nauczania i ciekawości. Wszyscy jesteśmy uczniami i nauczycielami. Uczymy się od siebie nawzajem. W innych widzimy to co podziwiamy lub odrzucamy, w zależności od tego czego chcemy się nauczyć. Najważniejsze jest aby poznać tę prawdę i użyć tego cennego narzędzia w samodoskonaleniu.

Coffee, Tea, and Holy Water: One Woman's Journey to Experience Christianity Around the Globe
by Amanda HudsonCoffee, Tea, and Holy Water takes the reader on an armchair tour of Christianity in our world, across borders and over continents. Author Amanda Hudson provides a personal touch with cultural curiosities, profound questions about the nature and practice of faith, as she travels to five countries: Brazil, Wales, Tanzania, China, and Honduras. Part reflection, part entertaining travelogue, Coffee Tea, and Holy Water explores everything from each culture's offer of hospitality to life in a Masaai boma. "There are lessons to be learned from other countries that are not visible in our own culture," writes Hudson, "Questions that are not our questions. Struggles that are not our normal struggles. And yet, when we look around the throne one day at the nations assembled there, instead of marveling at the diversity, I think we will actually be fascinated by what we all had in common." This is a book about the places we meet, what we share, how we can learn to cross borders (geographical, cultural, personal), and learning that the steps to do so make all the difference. Honest, witty, and thought-provoking, these stories come from a young woman raised in the South, who found herself wondering what "normal" Christianity looked like in other countries.
Coffee, the World, and Jesus, but Not Necessarily in That Order
by Ron DemiglioWhen many Christians take a long, hard look at the lives of the spiritual elite in America, they want to shout, "I don't want to be like that!" Ron DeMiglio knows how they feel and he's not afraid to do the shouting--even when those shouts are sometimes directed at himself.Coffee, the World, and Jesus is a collection of mildly contrarian musings from this international coffee businessman who happens to love Jesus. In these humorous vignettes about the relational, flawed, unwavering faith Ron clings to, readers will find glimmers of their own daily struggles to reflect Christ in a fallen world. For the religiously cautious, the disillusioned, and jaded followers of Christianity, this is a refreshing look at how God reveals Himself to be so much bigger than politics, dogmas, or western influences.Ron's sidesplitting series of stories about how he found his spiritual groove smack-dab in the middle of his God-breathed, coffee-scented uniqueness will appeal to readers looking for a quick bite of spiritual growth with their next latte.

Cognitive Science and Ancient Israelite Religion: New Perspectives on Texts, Artifacts, and Culture (Society for Old Testament Study Monographs)
by Brett E. MaidenIn this book, Brett Maiden employs the tools, research, and theories from the cognitive science of religion to explore religious thought and behavior in ancient Israel. His study focuses on a key set of distinctions between intuitive and reflective types of cognitive processing, implicit and explicit concepts, and cognitively optimal and costly religious traditions. Through a series of case studies, Maiden examines a range of topics including popular and official religion, Deuteronomic theology, hybrid monsters in ancient iconography, divine cult statues in ancient Mesopotamia and the biblical idol polemics, and the Day of Atonement ritual in Leviticus 16. The range of media, including ancient texts, art, and archaeological data from ancient Israel, as well theoretical perspectives demonstrates how a dialogue between biblical scholars and cognitive researchers can be fostered.
Cohabiting with Spirits: The Biography of a Marriage in Mayotte (Anthropological Horizons)
by Michael LambekPossession aptly describes the explicit manifestations of spirits when they temporarily displace individuals by assuming control of their bodies and minds, but the word does not account for what it means to cohabit with them. Cohabiting with Spirits offers an intimate portrait of the intertwined lives of a married couple together with the various spirits who came to possess each of them. Set against the backdrop of the island of Mayotte during the twentieth century, the book paints a vivid picture of the couple’s lives, navigating the demands of their respective spirits while practising an art of cohabitation, both with the spirits and with each other. While studies of spirit possession often focus on ceremonial practices and dramatic performances of spirit mediums in trance, Michael Lambek shifts the focus to explore what it can be like to cohabit with spirits. The book examines the ways in which various spirits entered the lives of this married couple and how their presence shaped the hosts’ careers as healers, leaving lasting impacts on their domestic and personal lives. Based on rich ethnographic research conducted over the course of several decades, Cohabiting with Spirits presents a rare biography of “ordinary” Africans in the twentieth century and celebrates the resilience of a strong marriage.
Coincidence or Destiny?: Stories of Synchoronicity That Illuminate Our Lives
by Phil Cousineau“A delightful reflection of our communal experience of moments that defy rational explanation” from the bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker (NAPRA ReView).The pricking anticipation of a phone call seconds before ringing, the premonition dream of birth exactly nine months before, the chance meeting that opens a new career path, the eerie realization of a loved one’s death half a world away . . . From Jung to Einstein, across boundaries of culture and time, people have recognized the potential for synchronicity to reveal a hidden order to seeming random events, and to offer a glimpse of one’s destiny.In Coincidence or Destiny? bestselling author Phil Cousineau shares more than eighty stories of coincidence, some simple, and some so extraordinary they challenge our belief system. Coincidence or Destiny? threads together what the author calls “sly winks of fate” from ordinary individuals around the world, to well-known scholars such as Larry Dossey and Huston Smith to famous movies such as Casablanca, each story demonstrates how meaningful coincidences can profoundly change and guide people’s lives.“Many things happen to us in life that are fraught with meaning. Amazing coincidences that become turning points in the road. Happenstance events that suddenly become pieces of the puzzle of our lives. Put them together, and you may find an answer to why things are the way they are. [Coincidence or Destiny?] is a wonderful collection of such times.” —Gannett News Service
Coincidences: Synchronicity, Verisimilitude, and Storytelling
by Michael JacksonMost people have a story to tell about a remarkable coincidence that in some instances changed the course of their lives. These uncanny occurrences have been variously interpreted as evidence of divine influence, fate, or the collective unconscious. Less common are explanations that explore the social situations and personal preoccupations of the individuals who place the most weight on coincidences. Drawing on a variety of coincidence stories, renowned anthropologist Michael Jackson builds a case for seeing them as allegories of separation and loss—revealing the hope of repairing sundered lives, reconnecting estranged friends, reuniting distant kin, closing the gap between people and their gods, and achieving a sense of emotional and social connectedness with others in a fragmented world.
