A Beautiful Ending
Author: John Jeffries Martin
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300265441
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
An award-winning historian’s revisionary account of the early modern world, showing how apocalyptic ideas stimulated political, religious, and intellectual transformations “A masterful synthesis of the prognostications of faith, knowledge, and politics on a global stage. Martin’s book illuminates one of the enduring themes that shaped the medieval and early modern world.”—Paula E. Findlen, Stanford University In this revelatory immersion into the apocalyptic, messianic, and millenarian ideas and movements that created the modern world, John Jeffries Martin performs a kind of empathic time travel, entering into the psyche, spirituality, and temporalities of a cast of historical actors in profound moments of discovery. He argues that religious faith—Christian, Jewish, and Muslim—did not oppose but rather fostered the making of a modern scientific spirit, buoyed along by a providential view of history and nature, and a deep conviction in the coming End of the World. Through thoughtful attention to the primary sources, Martin re‑reads the Renaissance, excavating a religious foundation at the core of even the most radical empirical thinking. Familiar icons like Ibn Khaldūn, Columbus, Isaac Luria, and Francis Bacon emerge startlingly fresh and newly gleaned, agents of a history formerly untold and of a modern world made in the image of its imminent end.

Book Description
Personal memoir of author, John Martin of growing up in M?n? Camp, the westernmost sugar plantation camp on Kauai, and in Hawaii. John Martin includes stories of his family and shares memories of his life, playing and working with plantation camp kids of different ethnicities. Hunting for pigs and goats, freshwater and salt water fishing, swimming in the ocean and other fresh water ponds and ditches were only some of the exciting things they did. Working on the plantation during summer breaks was also an important part of the lifestyle of a plantation camp kid. In 1987 the camp was closed, and the two remaining families moved to Kekaha. Rows of vacant houses, which once were the homes of families with dreams were leveled. Nothing remains of the small but proud community.
