Mining for Meaning
Author: James Bailiff
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 0985450495
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Illuminating the true principals and guidelines bestowed upon us by the Creator, Mining for Meaning: Harvesting Rich Veins of Meaning from Our Relationship with God, One Another, and Nature explores the intrinsic value of human beings to one another and the world they inhabit. James Bailiff examines the potential to be fully engaged in our relationship with God and nature. By acknowledging the sometimes antiquated notions of religiosity, Bailiff proposes a new sense of meaning; one that is our birthright, regardless of what faith we choose. Transcending our ego-based consciousness to attain personal happiness is a truly fulfilling experience, one attained in union with God. Bailiff offers profound insights that allow us to embrace the joyous emotions that gratitude, harmony, abundance, and love provide for us. More timely than ever before, Mining for Meaning questions our departure from experiencing nature in its fundamental form and its relevance as a reflection of the Creator, as well as the negative byproducts that come as a result of detachment from that natural world. Inspiring, enlightening and uplifting, this is a must-read spiritual manifesto for a better way of life and a better world around us.

The Oxford Companion to the Bible
Author: Bruce M. Metzger
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199743916
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 930
Book Description
The Bible has had an immeasurable influence on Western culture, touching on virtually every aspect of our lives. It is one of the great wellsprings of Western religious, ethical, and philosophical traditions. It has been an endless source of inspiration to artists, from classic works such as Michaelangelo's Last Judgment, Handel's Messiah, or Milton's Paradise Lost, to modern works such as Thomas Mann's Joseph and His Brothers or Martin Scorsese's controversial Last Temptation of Christ. For countless generations, it has been a comfort in suffering, a place to reflect on the mysteries of birth, death, and immortality. Its stories and characters are an integral part of the repertoire of every educated adult, forming an enduring bond that spans thousands of years and embraces a vast community of believers and nonbelievers. The Oxford Companion to the Bible provides an authoritative one-volume reference to the people, places, events, books, institutions, religious belief, and secular influence of the Bible. Written by more than 250 scholars from some 20 nations and embracing a wide variety of perspectives, the Companion offers over seven hundred entries, ranging from brief identifications--who is Dives? where is Pisgah?--to extensive interpretive essays on topics such as the influence of the Bible on music or law. Ranging far beyond the scope of a traditional Bible dictionary, the Companion features, in addition to its many informative, factual entries, an abundance of interpretive essays. Here are extended entries on religious concepts from immortality, sin, and grace, to baptism, ethics, and the Holy Spirit. The contributors also explore biblical views of modern issues such as homosexuality, marriage, and anti-Semitism, and the impact of the Bible on the secular world (including a four-part article on the Bible's influence on literature). Of course, the Companion can also serve as a handy reference, the first place to turn to find factual information on the Bible. Readers will find fascinating, informative articles on all the books of the Bible--including the Apocrypha and many other ancient texts, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, Pseudepigrapha, and the Mishrah. Virtually every figure who walked across the biblical stage is identified here, ranging from Rebekah, Rachel, and Mary, to Joseph, Barabbas, and Jesus. The Companion also offers entries that shed light on daily life in ancient Israel and the earliest Christian communities, with fascinating articles on feasts and festivals, clothing, medicine, units of time, houses, and furniture. Finally, there are twenty-eight pages of full-color maps, providing an accurate, detailed portrait of the biblical world. A vast compendium of information related to scriptures, here is an ideal complement to the Bible, an essential volume for every home and library, the first place to turn for information on the central book of Western culture.
