Dictionary of Celtic Mythology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ellis, Peter Berresford, PUBLISHER: ABC-CLIO, Predated only by Greek and Roman legend by virtue of the fact that the Celtic languages were not written until the early Christian era, Celtic mythology developed from a far earlier oral tradition, which preserves voices from the dawn of European civilization. The peoples of these Celtic cultures survive today on the western seaboard of Europe: the Irish, Manx, and Scots who make up the Goidelic (Gaelic) speaking branch of Celts, and the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons, who represent the Byrthonic-speaking branch. In his introduction, Ellis discusses the roles of these six cultures, the evolution (or demise) of the languages, and the relationship between the legends, especially the Irish and Welsh, the two major Celtic cultures. The "Dictionary of Celtic Mythology" is an easy to read handbook, and presents a fascinating window to centuries of rich oral and written tradition from the mists of Europe's origins.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Yeo, Khiok-Khng, PUBLISHER: Trinity Press International, K.K. Yeo is a promising young voice from Asia whose discernment of the relevance of the gospel to cultures and current socio-political realities in that part of the world is welcome and needed for the West's understanding of the East, and even for the East's understanding of itself. His studies gathered here range from exploration of the philosophical structure of eastern Buddhist cultures to present-day political realities in Malaysia and China. The book is divided into three parts. Part I examines the methods of cross-cultural hermeneutics. Part II represents a dialogue with perennial themes in Chinese culture: Yin and Yang in Genesis and Exodus; the Ming of Tien ("will of God') in Amos and Confucius; the Li and Jen "torah and spirit" in Romans. Part III applies biblical messages to current Chinese situations, including suffering, oppressive acts such as Tienanmen Square, and the role of women. Acquista Ora

Now, in "The Quest for Paradise," renowned scholar John Ashton and his colleague Tom Whyte offer an intriguing look at how we have thought of and envisioned heaven and the afterlife, from the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, to the Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims, as well as the indigenous peoples of the Americas, Australia, and Africa.Lavishly illustrated with extensive depictions of heaven in art from around the world, and drawing on scriptures, myths, epics, poems, novels, philosophy, and other writings from many cultures, "The Quest for Paradise" illuminates the vast spectrum of beliefs about the world beyond.

Lawrence, Margaret Mead, and Aldous Huxley.Ashton and Whyte present a fascinating array of ancient and modern views of heaven. Included are extraordinary inhabitants and geographical features, representing scenes from works such as "The Odyssey," the Bible, the Quran, and the "Sukhavativyuha Sutras," and from the works of writers such as Hesiod, Ovid, Virgil, Dante, Milton, and Yeats, highlighting both the diversity and the universality of reflection on heaven.

Mission of San Juan Bautista

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Draper, Allison Stark / Draper, A. S., PUBLISHER: PowerKids Press, The story of the missions is a compelling human drama that is a vital piece not only of California history, but also of American history. Indeed, many keys to California's past lie in the stories of the 21 missions that stretch along the state's west coast from San Diego to San Francisco. They are the physical and cultural building blocks on which modern-day California communities and identities are built. However, there are also broader historical lessons to be learned by reading about the mission settlements. As with other pivotal periods in American and human history, the mission era was a time in which different cultures and world views came into contact and conflict. The missions were founded in the s and s by Spanish friars, who had followed explorers to the New World. The friars were missionaries who wanted to bring the Christian religion to the indigenous peoples of the New World. This vital series is compatible with the mission-based curriculum used in fourth-grade California classrooms. It resonates equally with all social studies programs that explore the defunct notion of colonialism and its controversial role in the history of the United States, and with curricula that seek to explore the interaction of different cultures and the rights and voices of indigenous peoples.
