Pages : 354
Book Description
It’s midsummer in Sweden—when the light lingers through dawn and a long, isolating winter finally comes to an end. In this magical time, a brutal killer has chosen to strike. A female priest—who made enemies and acolytes in equal number—has been found hanging in her church. And a big-city lawyer quite acquainted with death enters the scene as police and parishioners try to pick up the pieces.... Not long ago, attorney Rebecka Martinsson had to kill three men in order to stop an eerily similar murder spree—one that also involved a priest. Now she is back in Kiruna, the region of her birth, while a determined policewoman gnaws on the case and people who loved or loathed the victim mourn or revel in her demise. The further Rebecka is drawn into the mystery—a mystery that will soon take another victim—the more the dead woman’s world clutches her: a world of hurt and healing, sin and sexuality, and, above all, of sacrifice. In prose that is both lyrical and visceral, Åsa Larsson has crafted a novel of pure entertainment, a taut, atmospheric mystery that will hold you in thrall until the last, unforgettable page is turned

Suddenly, the Sight of War
Author: Hannan Hever
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804797188
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Suddenly, the Sight of War is a genealogy of Hebrew poetry written in pre-state Israel between the beginning of World War II and the War of Independence in 1948. In it, renowned literary scholar Hannan Hever sheds light on how the views and poetic practices of poets changed as they became aware of the extreme violence in Europe toward the Jews. In dealing with the difficult topics of the Shoah, Natan Alterman's 1944 publication of The Poems of the Ten Plagues proved pivotal. His work inspired the next generation of poets like Haim Guri, as well as detractors like Amir Gilboa. Suddenly, the Sight of War also explores the relations between the poetry of the struggle for national independence and the genre of war-reportage, uniquely prevalent at the time. Hever concludes his genealogy with a focus on the feminine reaction to the War of Independence showing how women writers such as Lea Goldberg and Yocheved Bat-Miryam subverted war poetry at the end of the 1940s. Through the work of these remarkable poets, we learn how a culture transcended seemingly unspeakable violence.

Misconceptions of Christianity
Author: John Marcus
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1616637390
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Have you ever looked at the multitude of opinions on Christian doctrine and been confused? If the early church did not teach certain rituals, where did they come from? And what does the Bible say regarding these issues? In Misconceptions of Christianity, Author John Marcus explores many of the major doctrinal stances that do not appear in the Bible or in the very early church. His goal is to show the reader where the doctrines came from (or at least from where the misunderstanding stems) and what the Bible teaches concerning them. He covers topics such as: • Tithing and giving to the church • The doctrines of Mary and her veneration • The gifts of the Spirit, including the gift of tongues • The observance of Christmas and other religious holidays • Demonic possession and spiritual warfare • And many more This book guides readers through the confusion that modern Christianity can bring and leads them straight back to the source—the Bible. Its approach is both insightful and convicting, giving the reader a standard with which to judge his or her own actions instead of a set of rules to follow. With a strong belief that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, John conveys to readers the importance of a Christ-centered theology that stems directly from the Scripture. Author John Marcus has studied theology and lives in New York. Misconceptions of Christianity is his second book.
