Winner of the Hopwood Award for Fiction
"Enchanting and original." --John Michell, author of The View Over Atlantis and many other books.
"This is a deeply serious and complicated novel at the level of ideas and demands a similar commitment from the reader. But the reader who persists finds himself immersed in a period and world of rapidly increasing fascinations, both human and private, and political and theological. The end came with all the force of fate, and for the writer to make history appear inevitable once again in fiction suggests the kind of obsession and constancy to the subject out of which comes the kind of writing we all care about most--or should." --Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio
"Ash Wednesday Supper offers us a glimpse into a way of understanding that eludes us today--in this novel, Versluis reveals the intellect universalized as a mode of being for our time. Thoroughly recommended." --James Cowan, author of Fleeing Herod and The Deposition, winner of the Australian Gold Medal for Literature

John Pordage (1608-1681), the most remarkable of all English mystics and leader of a school of Christian theosophy, wrote in journal form this extraordinary treatise on the figure of Sophia, divine wisdom. This is the first volume in a series of Pordage's works, brought back into English and published now in his native language for the first time. For those interested in the inner life, mystical practice, and visionary experience, Pordage is a seminal figure and guide, and this volume is essential reading.
Автор: Versluis Arthur Название: The Mystical State: Politics, Gnosis, and Emergent Cultures ISBN: 1596500115 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781596500112 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 17430.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This is not just another book, so much as a new way of seeing the world and our way of being in it. Groundbreaking, and profoundly optimistic, this is the only book to investigate how mysticism can inspire cultural and political renewal. At heart, _The Mystical State_ looks toward the future, toward what is possible on the other side of the difficult times that confront us, and how we can envision and encourage cultural emergence. In _The Mystical State_, Arthur Versluis delves into the origins of modernity and what led to the crises of our time. But he also looks to the future, and in particular, to how spirituality can inform cultural and political life in new and illuminating ways.
"Arthur Versluis's _The Mystical State: Politics, Gnosis and Emergent Cultures_, asks a question long overdue in the study of mysticism: what are the political implications of direct mystical experience and thinking? His analysis ranges freely over both ancient and modern thought and experience. His focus on Western thought, ancient and modern, is a welcome respite from the tendency to focus on Eastern meditation and philosophy among scholars of mysticism. His exploration of the marginalized is especially important. And by focusing on "the road not taken" when Gnosticism was repudiated long ago, he dares to imagine what a new culture and state that's centered on the mystical might look like: the end of gigantism, the re-framing of life and value, and a form of political authority centered in value. It is a courageous and thought provoking book, and should open the door to a series of questions important in our struggling world."
--Robert K. C. Forman, author of _Mysticism, Mind, Consciousness_ and numerous other books on mysticism.
"It's simply amazing Each page is a feast to both my mind and soul " --Miguel Conner, editor of _Voices of Gnosticism_
"A wonderful book . . . fascinating I highly recommend that people buy it and read it as soon as possible. I can't say enough about it." --William Kennedy, Sphinx Radio
Praise for Other Works by Arthur Versluis:
"At a time when the religions of the world are meeting on a spiritual level and in a global context, it is crucial that the Christian West rediscover its often forgotten inner or esoteric wisdom. Arthur Versluis skillfully guides the reader to recover the wide range of this rich heritage." --Ewart Cousins, general editor, _World Spirituality: An Encyclopedic History of the Religious Quest_
"A collection of very precious clues to the sources of the Western spiritual tradition, pointing to the hidden currents both in history and in our own selves." --Jacob Needleman, author of _The American Soul_ and _The Heart of Philosophy_

Автор: Arie Versluis Название: The Command to Exterminate the Canaanites: Deuteronomy 7 ISBN: 9004337989 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004337985 Издательство: Brill Цена: 233770.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: According to Deuteronomy 7, God commands Israel to exterminate the indigenous population of Canaan. In The Command to Exterminate the Canaanites: Deuteronomy 7, Arie Versluis offers an analysis and evaluation of this command. Following an exegesis of the chapter, the historical background, possible motives and the place of the nations of Canaan in the Hebrew Bible are investigated. The theme of religiously inspired violence continues to be a topic of interest. The present volume discusses the consequences of the command to exterminate the Canaanites for the Old Testament view of God and for the question whether the Bible legitimizes violence in the present. Finally, the author shows how he reads this text as a Christian theologian.
