Publisher: Rob's Books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
In the heart of the Ether, where the boundaries between realms blur and the veil between magic and reality thins, a silent force awakens. They are the Ethereal Sentinels, beings not of flesh and blood, but of stardust and moonlight, forged in the crucible of creation itself. Each Sentinel embodies an aspect of the cosmos: the unwavering strength of mountains, the serene wisdom of ancient forests, the raw power of storms, and the delicate grace of blooming flowers. They are guardians of an intricate tapestry woven from the threads of existence, a balance so fragile that a single tear could unravel the universe itself. Yet, a shadow looms over the Ether, a discordant note in the symphony of creation. A malevolent force seeks to shatter the balance, to plunge the cosmos into chaos. The Sentinels, once slumbering, now rise to answer this threat. Their journey will be perilous, their trials fraught with danger, but their resolve is unyielding. For they are the protectors of existence, the guardians of harmony, the Ethereal Sentinels. And their time has come.

The Relationship Between the Church and the Theatre
Author: Christine C. Schnusenberg
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532616864
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
This work has grown out of the question regarding the negative relationship of the Church Fathers toward the Roman theatre and the apparent subsequent theatre vacuum of over 400 years (ca. 530 AD to 930 AD). This is considered to be the time which lies between the end of the Roman theatre and the appearance of the quem quaeritis tropes. This work moves between these two poles: on the one hand, between the polemics against the pagan Roman theatre which the Church Fathers described as a theatrum daemonicum and on the other hand, the appearances of dramatic-liturgical configurations in the Christian Church. This work attempts to connect these two opposite poles instead of separating them. This study begins with an examination of documents dealing with the patristic polemic. This is followed by an examination in chronological sequence of the development of the liturgical dramatic manifestations from Jerusalem to Amalarius of Metz. It also examines the allegorical method connected with this development. In conclusion the argument is maintained that aside the theatrum daemonicum, a theatrum infictitium et sapirituale is beginning to develop.

Changing Cultures in Early Byzantium
Author: Averil Cameron
Publisher: Variorum Publishing
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
In these essays the author's aim has been to build a framework for understanding the many changes that took place in the societies of the Eastern Mediterranean in the period either side of the Arab conquests. In Constantinople itself, in North Africa, and in the eastern provinces, the culture of late antiquity continued to flourish and develop; Hellenism remained a vital factor in Syria, Palestine and Egypt, while the Byzantine reconquest of the 6th century brought Greek and eastern influences to North Africa. Several papers show also how these developments continued in the 7th century, and how the ideas then established in the East provide the context for later Byzantine iconoclasm.
