This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 1042 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, in English version, starting from the researches of the Sumerologist Zecharia SItchin, of the organic chemist Corrado Malanga, tries to demonstrate through the use of philosophical-ontological concepts, the validity in particular of Corrado Malanga's research concerning, among other things, anthropomorphic-humanoid-differently physical and exodimensional-esoterrestrial beings, which for centuries have been operating on planet Earth, to achieve their own end. This "Interpretation of John's Apocalypse-subtitle-A new hermeneutics-epistemology of History", expands the discourse, of the previous "The authentic mimetic meaning of Christianity and religious esotericism" by the author himself, incorporating the text into his internal, with the addition of new material, trying to unify-decode politics-economics-exobiology-terrestrial human history-fairy-tale literature-esoteric symbolism-artistic-philosophical works-advertising communications and spoken language. In the literary-philosophical-artistic-political-economic-commercial advertising field, further texts-images etc. could be considered. but to avoid an excessive increase in the pages of the book, we have chosen not to do so. An interrelated whole that always shows the same project aimed at the theft of the terrestrial human soul, through the construction of a genetic crossing race between terrestrial humans and exodimensional-exoterrestrial-energetic parasites of various physical nature. All covered under a self-referring-mystical apologetic, symbolic-religious metaphoric, which reveals among other things, the esoteric-religious crucible represented-syncretized over time, by Christianity-Catholicism. Some artistic-literary-musical works are decoded by-in their metaphorical-symbolic content, revealing concrete meanings other than the hermeneutic custom of which they were the object. The esoteric turns out to be biological exoteric.

Download or read book The Divine Vision of Dante's Paradiso written by William Franke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canto XVIII of Paradiso, Dante sees thirty-five letters of Scripture - LOVE JUSTICE, YOU WHO RULE THE EARTH - 'painted' one after the other in the sky. It is an epiphany that encapsulates the Paradiso, staging its ultimate goal - the divine vision. This book offers a fresh, intensive reading of this extraordinary passage at the heart of the third canticle of the Divine Comedy. While adapting in novel ways the methods of the traditional lectura Dantis, William Franke meditates independently on the philosophical, theological, political, ethical, and aesthetic ideas that Dante's text so provocatively projects into a multiplicity of disciplinary contexts. This book demands that we question not only what Dante may have meant by his representations, but also what they mean for us today in the broad horizon of our intellectual traditions and cultural heritage.

Download or read book When These Things Begin written by René Girard and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively series of conversations with writer Michel Treguer, René Girard revisits the major concepts of mimetic theory and explores science, democracy, and the nature of God and freedom. Girard affirms that “our unprecedented present is incomprehensible without Christianity.” Globalization has unified the world, yet civil war and terrorism persist despite free trade and economic growth. Because of mimetic desire and the rivalry it generates, asserts Girard, “whether we’re talking about marriage, friendship, professional relationships, issues with neighbors or matters of national unity, human relations are always under threat.” Literary masters including Marivaux, Dostoevsky, and Joyce understood this, as did archaic religion, which warded off violence with blood sacrifice. Christianity brought a new understanding of sacrifice, giving rise not only to modern rationality and science but also to a fragile system that is, in Girard’s words, “always teetering between a new golden age and a destructive apocalypse.” Treguer, a skeptic of mimetic theory, wonders: “Is what he’s telling me true...or is it just a nice story, a way of looking at things?” In response, Girard makes a compelling case for his theory.

Download or read book The Story of Original Sin written by John E Toews and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of the interpretation of the disobedience of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3 through the biblical period and the church fathers until Augustine. It explains the emergence of the doctrine of original sin with the theology of Augustine in the late fourth century on the basis of a mistranslation of the Greek text of Romans 5:12. The book suggests that it is time to move past Augustine's theology of sin and embrace a different theology of sin that is both more biblical and makes more sense in the postmodern West and in the developing world.

Download or read book Jean Danielou's Doxological Humanism written by Marc Nicholas and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-12-24 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1946, Jean Danielou published an article by the title of "Les orientations presents de la pensee religieuse" for Etudes. Danielou's article--at least according to his critics--set the program for what would be later referred to as la nouvelle theologie. Though Danielou's influence was definitive at the inception of the movement (loosely understood) and continued up until Vatican II and after it, relatively little (especially compared to his close associate Henri de Lubac) has been written about Danielou in English even in the recent resurgence of interest in nouvelle theologie. This book seeks to fill that gap in part by providing an overview of his theology with extensive reference to his vast corpus of writings by highlighting what seems to be the key to his thought: that all human beings were made for contemplation and that one is only truly human when one exercises this innate calling in a Trinitarian fashion.
