Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When young children first begin to ask 'why?' they embark on a journey with no final destination. The need to make sense of the world as a whole is an ultimate curiosity that lies at the root of all human religions. It has, in many cultures, shaped and motivated a more down to earth scientific interest in the physical world, which could therefore be described as penultimate curiosity. These two manifestations of curiosity have a history of connection that goes back deep into the human past. Tracing that history all the way from cave painting to quantum physics, this book (a collaboration between a painter and a physical scientist that uses illustrations throughout the narrative) sets out to explain the nature of the long entanglement between religion and science: the ultimate and the penultimate curiosity.

Book Synopsis Israel's Last Prophet by : David L. Turner

Download or read book Israel's Last Prophet written by David L. Turner and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus words of indictment and judgment in the Gospel according to Matthew have fueled centuries of Christian anti-Judaism. But what did those words originally mean within Matthews narrative? David L. Turner examines how Matthew has taken up Deuteronomic themes of prophetic rejection and judgment and woven them throughout the Gospel, culminating in Matthew 23:32. Matthew was engaged in a heated intramural dispute with other Jewish groups, Turner argues. The legacy of Christian anti-Jewish violence reflects a gross misunderstanding of Matthew by generations who have failed to recognize the authors worldview and allusions.

Book Synopsis Strict Metrical Tradition by : David Keppel-Jones

Download or read book Strict Metrical Tradition written by David Keppel-Jones and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2001-05-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keppel-Jones's study focuses on a period of 275 years, during which iambic pentameter variations were conducted with special precision. Representative blocks of verse are chosen from major poets in original authoritative editions, and each variation is analysed on the basis of all cases of that variation. To give precision to certain of the principles, Keppel-Jones follows the linguist Bruce Hayes' definitions of boundaries between word-groups, but handles this material in such a way as to be understood by the general reader. Keppel-Jones found that the practical result of this study is a new metre that he allows him to apply the principles of iambic variation to the anapest. His fascinating and original approach to iambic pentameter will appeal to scholars in the field and also to people with a general interest in poetry.
