Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
This book studies the role of Christian churches in the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

He argues that the genocide in Rwanda was a conservative response to progressive forces that were attempting to democratize Christian churches.

On the Infinite, the Universe and the Worlds
Author: Giordano BrunoPublisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Category : Infinite
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In 1584, while living in the household of Michel de Castelnau, the French Ambassador to the court of Queen Elizabeth of England, Giordano Bruno completed three books of cosmological dialogues: The Ash Wednesday Supper; On Cause, Principle and Unity; and the current volume, On the Infinite, the Universe and the Worlds. Drawing on the work of Lucretius, Nicholas da Cusa, Nicholas Copernicus and others, Bruno developed the theory of an infinitely extensive universe, filled with stars like our sun and planets like our own.Giordano Bruno's heretical ideas and forceful personality led to a turbulent life in which he travelled to most of the great academic and cultural centers of Europe, culminating in his trial and execution by the Roman Inquisition in 1600.Recently, this work and Giordano Bruno were referenced in the new series of Cosmos.
The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast
Author: Giordano BrunoPublisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803262348
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
The itinerant Neoplatonic scholar Giordano Bruno (1548?1600), one of the most fascinating figures of the Renaissance, was burned at the stake for heresy by the Inquisition in Rome on Ash Wednesday in 1600. The primary evidence against him was the book Spaccio de la bestia trionfante, a daring indictment of the church that abounded in references to classical Greek mythology, Egyptian religion (especially the worship of Isis), Hermeticism, magic, and astrology. The author ofømore than sixty works on mathematics, science, ethics, philosophy, metaphysics, the art of memory, and esoteric mysticism, Bruno had a profound impact on Western thought.
