IN HIS NAME
Author: E. Christopher ReyesPublisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490736212

Pages : 605
Book Description
The way to maintain a Christianized falsehood is to stigmatize the real truth to such an extent that it would be heresy to even listen to it. "For one who is seeking historical truth . . . A record held sacred is for the most part fundamentally vitiated [vitiated (Random House): 1. spoiled; marred. 2. perverted; corrupted. 3. rendered invalid]" (Tacitus, 1, 2, 13; p. 25-56). What does Christianity teach man? "Christianity teaches that the human race is depraved, fallen, and sinful" (D. James Kennedy, Why I Believe, World Publishing, 1980). This book is about the Christian leadership, which planned from the very beginning to deceive mankind, force feed mankind with their intellectual arrogance, convolutions, superstitions, and boldly admit to it; fabricating lies so preposterous and so deliberately outlandish that even the saints, who also obliged Christian subjects with their theological tunnel vision, had to write of them. The series of books entitled In His Name will virtually challenge everything you have been taught about Christianity. Just because something is old or of antiquity does not necessarily mean that it is the Truth! (1 Timothy). Christian apologists proclaim that "Christianity is not only a Revelation of Divine Truth; it is also the Inspiration to a more virtuous life" (excerpt from The History of the Orthodox Church by Rev. Constantine Callinikos). Time itself will someday expose the fallacies of their faith, a faith that not only deceives its followers but a faith that will also condemn them and condemn all constructive sacred learning. ________________________________________ "Oh, what a tangled web we weave . . . When first we practice to deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott). ________________________________________ Why do Christian churches refuse to let their congregations read of the beginnings of their faith? Why does the Christian Church refuse to allow their membership to read of the original authors? Why does the Church equate suffering with virtue? This book will challenge your beliefs. It is meant to get one to think rationally, sensibly, realistically. However, one must know that most churches do not want you to think rationally; they would rather you not think at all. At one time, the Catholic Church even issued guidelines as to which books a university could, with permission, disseminate to its students, and even the works of Aristotle [the Prince of Philosophers] and the Holy Bible itself were actually forbidden.

Book Description
Tables of Knowledge shows that Dutch genre paintings and still lifes enact in visual form a process of recording information similar to that of science, with intriguing results." "Stone investigates such diverse topics as seventeenth-century advances in optics and the attendant explosion of data about the natural world; the proliferation of material goods in prosperous Dutch homes; and the compelling realism of Golden Age paintings."--Jacket.

Book Description
The two sets of seven paintings of the Sacraments are among the great achievements of European seventeenth century art. They have always been recognised as among the masterpieces of the founding father of modern French painting, Nicolas Poussin. The traditional view of these paintings has been limited: by the assumption that they were painted merely to satisfy seventeenth century classical taste and antiquarian scholarship. In this first book-length study of the Sacraments the author illuminates their religious content. Never before have these paintings been connected with Counter-reformation biblical commentary and illustrations in devotional books. The hieroglyphs and other mysteries in the paintings are all discussed, including the meaning of the famous E on the pillar in the second version of Ordination. This has always puzzled scholars. However, its meaning is clarified in this book. Prior to this there has been no adequate recognition of the importance of the Sacraments in the history of paintings of narrative subjects. For the first time, the two sets of paintings are seen as continuous series of paintings to be seen in a particular order and intended as the main decoration of particular rooms. This book also includes detailed commentary on Poussin's many preparatory drawings. The historical context comes vividly to life in commentary provided on Poussin's letters to his patrons. This book is essential reading for specialists, but it will also enthral anyone interested in the paintings of the Old Masters. Comments About the Book: "I know of no more splendidly developed exercise in the close reading of Poussin's paintings, and the literature associated with them. In giving sustained attention to this group of images, Tony Green shows that when Poussin claimed to have neglected nothing, he indeed was indeed serious. I have learned much from this admirable book, which makes a contribution to contemporary debate about this very great artist." -- David Carrier, Getty Research Institute, Author, Poussin's Paintings: A Study in Art-Historical Methodology.
