Book Description
In this major, paradigm-shifting commentary on Revelation, internationally respected author Francis Moloney brings his keen narrative and exegetical work to bear on one of the most difficult, mysterious, and misinterpreted texts in the biblical canon. Challenging the assumed consensus among New Testament scholars, Moloney reads Revelation not as an exhortation to faithfulness in a period of persecution but as a celebration of the ongoing effects of Jesus's death and resurrection. Foreword by Eugenio Corsini.

Apocalypse-Cinema
Author: Peter Szendy
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823264823
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Apocalypse-cinema is not only the end of time that has so often been staged as spectacle in films like 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and The Terminator. By looking at blockbusters that play with general annihilation while also paying close attention to films like Melancholia, Cloverfield, Blade Runner, and Twelve Monkeys, this book suggests that in the apocalyptic genre, film gnaws at its own limit. Apocalypse-cinema is, at the same time and with the same double blow, the end of the world and the end of the film. It is the consummation and the (self-)consumption of cinema, in the form of an acinema that Lyotard evoked as the nihilistic horizon of filmic economy. The innumerable countdowns, dazzling radiations, freeze-overs, and seismic cracks and crevices are but other names and pretexts for staging film itself, with its economy of time and its rewinds, its overexposed images and fades to white, its freeze-frames and digital touch-ups. The apocalyptic genre is not just one genre among others: It plays with the very conditions of possibility of cinema. And it bears witness to the fact that, every time, in each and every film, what Jean-Luc Nancy called the cine-world is exposed on the verge of disappearing. In a Postface specially written for the English edition, Szendy extends his argument into a debate with speculative materialism. Apocalypse-cinema, he argues, announces itself as cinders that question the “ultratestimonial” structure of the filmic gaze. The cine-eye, he argues, eludes the correlationism and anthropomorphic structure that speculative materialists have placed under critique, allowing only the ashes it bears to be heard.

Revelation de Sept Eglises D'Asie

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Nous ne devons pas faire de l'église de Christ ce que nous voulons, ce que nous désirons, MAIS CE QUE CHRIST VEUT. Quelques fois, les gens aiment les fausses prophéties qui les encouragent dans leur laisser - allez, mais sachez que la prophétie qui est vraie doit marcher en concordance avec la bible; et si pas, elle est à rejeter. Jérémie 5: 31« Les prophètes prophétisent avec mensonge, et les sacrifi cateurs dominent par leur moyen; et mon peuple l'aime ainsi .Et que ferez- vous à la fi n ? L'Eternel met une grande importance sur les conducteurs spirituels parce que ceux - ci doivent être des modèles; et ipso - facto, les croyants ou les fi dèles seront marqués par les exemples de leurs chefs. Ainsi, tout celui qui est à la place de premier rang doit s'abstenir de tergiverser la volonté de Dieu parce qu'il risque d'égarer tous les autres qui le suivent. Nous avons beaucoup d'exemples concrets que nous voyons dans plusieurs religions. Il est diffi cile d'enlever une mauvaise conception aux fi dèles au cas où leurs conducteurs la soutiennent.
