Название: Our Bible: Its Origin, Character, and Value ISBN: 1085875989 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781085875981 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 12590.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: ON the Syrian coast, north of Tyre and Sidon, there was in ancient times a city called Byblos. From this port Phoenician traders carried to the west the Egyptian papyrus, which was used for writing, and from which came our word "paper." The Greeks spoke of the rolls of paper on which their books were written as "biblia," after the name of the place from which the material came. From this custom of antiquity has come our word "Bible," which means literally "books." By habits of speech which were of gradual growth the word represents a particular collection of writings, the sacred literature of the Hebrew and Christian religions. The increasingly recognized supremacy of Christianity among the world's great faiths, and its widening influence among the nations have made the Bible the most conspicuous and impressive of books.The story of its origin and varying experiences through the centuries has profound interest for all intelligent students of its contents. Not without some understanding of the manner in which these documents took form, and the adventures of transmission and translation through which they have passed on their way into our possession, can modern readers of the Bible gain an adequate knowledge of its character and value. This great Book comes to us in many different forms. It is available in several hundred languages, to meet the needs of missionary expansion. In the English tongue it is offered in a score of renderings and editions, all of which have values of their own, and among which it is often difficult to choose. Behind these various versions of the Holy Scriptures there lies a vast amount of consecrated and scholarly labor, -the labor of authors, revisers, editors, copyists, translators, archaeologists, critics, commentators, and other scholars. To the student who wishes to understand the meaning and value of the Bible some competent knowledge of these labors is essential. Upon these elemental inquiries into the origin and history of the Scriptures, the larger questions relating to their inspiration, authority, influence and value naturally rest.It is the purpose of this book to answer some of the most obvious and insistent questions which are sure to arise in the minds of all thoughtful people who deal with the Bible. Alike for those who teach and those who read with awareness these inquiries are inevitable. On themes so vital to faith differences of opinion are unavoidable. The views presented in these chapters are believed to be in harmony with the assured results of reverent and constructive modern scholarship.The literature available on the various phases of biblical study is extensive and rich. Some of the most usable books have been cited in connection with each chapter, under the appropriate chapter headings in the appendix on bibliography. The reader is urged to avail himself of these suggested help as fully as possible

Описание: A radical new approach to humor, where traditional targets become its agents Humor is often dismissed as cruel ridicule or harmless fun. But what if laughter is a vital force to channel rage against patriarchy, Islamophobia, or mass incarceration? To create moments of empathy and dialogue between Black Lives Matter and the police? These and other such questions are at the heart of this powerful reassessment of humor. Placing theorists in conversation with comedians, Uproarious offers a full-frontal approach to the very foundation of comedy and its profound political impact. Here Cynthia Willett and Julie Willett address the four major theories of humor-superiority, relief, incongruity, and social play-through the lens of feminist and game-changing comics such as Wanda Sykes, Margaret Cho, Hannah Gadsby, Hari Kondabolu, and Tig Notaro. They take a radical and holistic approach to the understanding of humor, particularly of humor deployed by those from groups long relegated to the margins, and propose a powerful new understanding of humor as a force that can engender politically progressive social movements. Drawing on a range of cross-disciplinary sources, from philosophies and histories of humor to the psychology and physiology of laughter to animal studies, Uproarious offers a richer understanding of the political and cathartic potential of humor. A major new contribution to a wider dialogue on comedy, Uproarious grounds for us explorations of outsider humor and our golden age of feminist comics-showing that when women, prisoners, even animals, laugh back, comedy along with belly laughs forge new identities and alter the political climate.
