Nombre de pages: 313

Gagner peut être la pire des malédictions... Fille du plus célèbre général d'un empire conquérant, Kestrel n'a que deux choix devant elle : s'enrôler dans l'armée ou se marier. Mais à dix-sept ans à peine, elle n'est pas prête à se fermer ainsi tous les horizons. Un jour, au marché, elle cède à une impulsion et acquiert pour une petite fortune un esclave rebelle à qui elle espère éviter la mort. Bientôt, toute la ville ne parle plus que de son coup de folie.

The Curse Removed

Auteure: Dan Salter

Nombre de pages: 205

The atonement is the central doctrine of our Christian faith. Today's most popular model--penal substitution--presumes Jesus took on the guilt of sins to pay for them with his death. But that courtroom scenario, lacking justice and open-armed forgiveness, is riddled with questions of how guilt is transferred and why punishing another for a crime is just. The recent revival of Christus Victor and mimetic atonement theories may properly deny the Father-to-Son wrath of penal substitution, but they, too, fall short in explaining the transference of the victory of Jesus's atonement to the sinner who needs rescue. Addressing these problems, Dan Salter's biblically faithful recast of a redemptive atonement highlights both our human physical essence and our spiritual identity as the beneficiaries of God's restoration. True justice and forgiveness can occur only with The Curse Removed.

Curse Motifs in Galatians

Auteure: Seon Yong Kim

Nombre de pages: 259

"What are Paul's rhetorical strategies to affect the Galatian believers? Seon Yong Kim shows how Paul uses heavy employment of the curse theme, complex appropriation of Scripture, and a thoroughly negative caricature of his opponents in order to agitate the mind and emotions of the Galatians and thereby dissuade them from the demand of circumcision." --provided by publisher, back cover

Auteure: D.g. Swank , Denise Grover Swank

Nombre de pages: 361

When the keepers meet for the first time, the gate will be opened. Two little rules have kept me safe since my mother died protecting me: always trust your instincts and forget everything about the curse. But when I accidentally activate an ancient catastrophe I’ve spent my life running from, breaking the seal on the gates of hell and ripping the lost colony of Roanoke back through time and getting the attention of a vengeful god in the process, rules go out the window. I can barely keep myself alive, and now somehow, it’s my responsibility to save all of humanity? We’re screwed. My only hope is to learn everything I can—everything I should have already known—from my fellow Curse Keeper—Collin-effing-Dailey. Collin can lay on the charm when he wants to, but he’s made it clear he’s not happy I’m a novice at all of this. Unfortunately, I feel a pull to him I can’t chalk up to supernatural powers. My instincts beg me not to trust Collin, but I’m out of other options. We have seven days to save the world, and the clock starts now.

The Cursed Family, or the Evil of Neglecting Family Prayer

Auteure: Thomas Risley , C. Matthew Mcmahon

Nombre de pages: 83

This work is a biblically helpful and pointed exhortation to church families to examine their household practices in light of Scriptural principles to serve God in the family. The family should operate as a reflection of the church; it is in fact to be a little church. Risley’s thesis is that wicked houses are under the curse of God, and are without his gracious keeping and fatherly care. He shows the responsibility of parents in family worship, for, to be without service to God in this way is to mimic a cursed family. As much as parents are natural parents to their children (providing food, shelter, and clothing), those in the church who have professed to be Christian parents have promised in the presence of God that their children should be virtuously brought up to lead a godly, Christian life. Risley also explains that God’s curse is on wicked houses. Parents must take heed of being evil examples to their children, of swearing, cursing, sabbath-breaking, cheating, stealing, oppressing, coveting, lest they, by following in their footsteps, suffer eternal judgments. Parents are reminded of what it means to break their baptismal covenant, and by this causing their children to...

The Curse of Ham in the Early Modern Era

Auteure: David M. Whitford

Nombre de pages: 245

This book explores the biblical story of the Curse of Ham, and its relationship to the defence of slavery. It shows how during the Reformation period, the story began to be interpreted in new ways, that provided justification for the rapidly expanding, and extremely lucrative, Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Skilfully weaving together elements of theology, literature and history, this book not only provides a fascinating insight into the ways that issues of religion, economics and race could collide in the Reformation world, but also provides essential reading for anyone wishing to try to comprehend the origins of arguments used to justify slavery and segregation right up to the 1960s.

The Curse of Fear

Auteure: Mark Komula

Nombre de pages: 98

This book is a story that teaches the principles of overcoming fear. Hidden in the story is a variety of principles both scientific and psychological. Everything we do is because of feelings. We do things to get feelings, riding a roller coaster, jumping out of an airplane or falling in love. We do things to avoid bad feelings, the man who becomes successful to show his father he is not a failure, or the person who becomes an addict because they want to escape their feelings. The real key to success in life is to create whatever feelings we want on demand and to consciously change feelings into something that benefits us. This book is about neuro-engineering, the ability to change our feelings through physical and psychological methods.

Radium of the Word

Auteure: Craig Dworkin

Nombre de pages: 261

With fresh insight and contemporary relevance, Radium of the Word argues that a study of the form of language yields meanings otherwise inaccessible through ordinary reading strategies. Attending to the forms of words rather than to their denotations, Craig Dworkin traces hidden networks across the surface of texts, examining how typography, and even individual letters and marks of punctuation, can reveal patterns that are significant without being symbolic—fully meaningful without communicating any preordained message. Radium of the Word takes its title from Mina Loy’s poem for Gertrude Stein, which hails her as the Madame “Curie / of the laboratory / of vocabulary.” In this spirit, Dworkin considers prose as a dynamic literary form, characterized by experimentation. Dworkin draws on examples from writers as diverse as Lyn Hejinian, William Faulkner, and Joseph Roth. He takes up the status of the proper name in Modernism, with examples from Stein, Loy, and Guillaume Apollinaire, and he offers in-depth analyses of individual authors from the counter-canon of the avant-garde, including P. Inman, Russell Atkins, N. H. Pritchard, and Andy Warhol. The result is an inspiring...

Can a Christian Be Cursed?

Auteure: Godwin O. Adeboye

Nombre de pages: 254

The belief in curses is widespread in Africa, impacting the lived reality of both Christians and non-Christians alike. In this book, Godwin Adeboye provides practical, biblical, and contextual guidelines for addressing the African conception of cursing, and for ministering to the fear and confusion such cursing elicits. He argues that African evangelical theology must begin by understanding, and valuing, the unique experiences of African Christians if it is to offer relevant answers to the real dilemmas they face. To this end, Adeboye draws on African traditional beliefs, empirical research, and the teachings of popular African pastors to provide insight into the religious and cultural contexts of the contemporary African church. Against this backdrop, he explores biblical passages on cursing and utilizes the evangelical positions on biblical authority, the atonement, personal conversion, and active mission to evaluate cultural beliefs and bring them into alignment with the gospel. While this text is an excellent resource for students of theology, missiology, and biblical or cultural studies, it is also immensely practical and deeply pastoral. Ultimately, it is a book to empower...

Give Us This Day Devotionals, Volume 7

Auteure: Charles Erlandson

Nombre de pages: 240

Give Us This Day is a unique daily devotional commentary for the entire New Testament based on the ancient method called lectio divina.

Give Us This Day deals in depth with entire passages and their contexts. Rather than selecting only certain portions of the New Testament to write about, Fr. Charles has written a devotional for each and every passage of the New Testament. Fr. Charles writes for the whole person: he's not afraid to use his sense of humor, and he carefully relates the Bible not only to the individual's life but also to the life of the Church. At the end of each day's devotional, an appropriate Prayer is offered, as well as Points for Further Reflection on the day's lesson. Each devotional concludes with a suggested Resolution to put into effect what the Spirit has stirred up in the heart of the reader during the course of his reading, meditation, and prayer.
