Book Description
Suddenly, clouds of smoke billowed in front of the two friends, with sparks of fire popping. The stench of ash and sulfur pervaded the stalls, alarming the animals. Mago had to calm them down. Satan emerged from the smoke, preceded by his chortling. "Hello, hello, hello, Satan greeted them with a veneer of glee. "I knew I could find you here, my friend Lugo. It seems you anticipated my visit. The time of tribulation has passed, and the Saints of the Earth live in peace and harmony. And yet, even in this respite from seven millennia of turmoil and havoc, there are those who cavort with their sinful nature. Drunken with their bloated egos, they wander far from the Triune God until they fall of the cliff of rebellion. Too late to turn back, they are too befuddled to realize that they have rejected Paradise in exchange for their own self-centered desires. Matt has fortune and fame as an athlete and a technician. He is contented; with no strong feelings about life and God. He is not aware that he needs a spiritual rejuvenation or that battle lines are being drawn all around him. His family, the Transformed Ones, and the Legate Commander Joshua (sent by King Jesus) tried to lead him to the Triune God, to no avail, it seems. Who else and under what circumstances could move him from the path he is taking? Will Matt realize that his choices may have eternal consequences? Will he turn back to the truth and take his rightful place in the army of God before it is too late? Find out as the human race moves Beyond Apocalypse.

Tomorrow's Economy
Author: Per Espen Stoknes
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262543850
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
How we can achieve healthy growth--more regenerative than destructive, restoring equity rather than exacerbating inequalities. In Tomorrow's Economy, Per Espen Stoknes reframes the hot-button issue of economic growth. Going beyond the usual dialectic of pro-growth versus anti-growth, Stoknes calls for healthy growth. Healthy economic growth is more regenerative than destructive, repairs problems rather than greenwashing them, and restores equity rather than exacerbating global inequalities. Stoknes--a psychologist, economist, climate strategy researcher, and green-tech entrepreneur--argues that we have the tools to achieve healthy growth, but our success depends on transformations in government practices and individual behavior. Stoknes provides a compass to guide us toward the mindset, mechanisms, and possibilities of healthy growth.

After the Apocalypse
Author: Srećko Horvat
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509540091
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
In this post-apocalyptic rollercoaster ride, philosopher Srećko Horvat invites us to explore the Apocalypse in terms of ‘revelation’ (rather than as the ‘end’ itself). He argues that the only way to prevent the end – i.e., extinction – is to engage in a close reading of various interconnected threats, such as climate crisis, the nuclear age and the ongoing pandemic. Drawing on the work of neglected philosopher Günther Anders, this book outlines a philosophical approach to deal with what Horvat, borrowing a term from climate science and giving it a theological twist, calls ‘eschatological tipping points’. These are no longer just the nuclear age or climate crisis, but their collision, conjoined with various other major threats – not only pandemics, but also the viruses of capitalism and fascism. In his investigation of the future of places such as Chernobyl, the Mediterranean and the Marshall Islands, as well as many others affected by COVID-19, Horvat contends that the ‘revelation’ appears simple and unprecedented: the alternatives are no longer socialism or barbarism – our only alternatives today are a radical reinvention of the world, or mass extinction. After the Apocalypse is an urgent call not only to mourn tomorrow’s dead today but to struggle for our future while we can.

Apocalyptic and the Future of Theology
Author: Joshua B. Davis
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1620320878
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Ernst Kasemann famously claimed that apocalyptic is the mother of Christian theology. J. Louis Martyn's radical interpretation of the overarching significance of apocalyptic in Paul's theology has pushed Kasemann's claim further and deeper. Still, despite the recognition that apocalyptic is at the core of New Testament and Pauline theology, modern theology has often dismissed, domesticated, or demythologized early Christian apocalyptic. A renewed interest in taking apocalyptic seriously is one of the most exciting developments in recent theology. The essays in this volume, taking their point of departure from the work of Martyn (and Kasemann), wrestle critically with the promise (and possible peril) of the apocalyptic transformation of Christian theology. With original contributions from established scholars (including Beverly Gaventa, Stanley Hauerwas, Robert Jenson, Walter Lowe, Joseph Mangina, Christopher Morse, and Fleming Rutledge) as well as younger voices, this volume makes a substantial contribution to the discussion of apocalyptic and theology today. A unique feature of the book is a personal reflection on Ernst Kasemann by J. Louis Martyn himself.

Writing the Apocalypse
Author: Lois Parkinson Zamora
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521362238
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This is a comparative literary study of apocalyptic themes and narrative techniques in the contemporary North and Latin American novel. Zamora explores the history of the myth of apocalypse, from the Bible to medieval and later interpretations, and relates this to the development of American apocalyptic attitudes. She demonstrates that the symbolic tensions inherent in the apocalytic myth have special meaning for postmodern writers. Zamora focuses her examination on the relationship between the temporal ends and the narrative endings in the works of six major novelists: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Thomas Pynchon, Julio Cortazar, John Barth, Walker Percy, and Carlos Fuentes. Distinguished by its unique, cross-cultural perspective, this book addresses the question of the apocalypse as a matter of intellectual and literary history. Zamora's analysis will enlighten both scholars of North and Latin American literature and readers of contemporary fiction.

Beyond Canon
Author: Meron Gebreananaye
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567695867
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
This book highlights the significance of a group of five texts excluded from the standard Christian Bible and preserved only in Ge'ez, the classical language of Ethiopia. These texts are crucial for modern scholars due to their significance for a wide range of early readers, as extant fragments of other early translations confirm in most cases. Yet they are also noted for their eventual marginalization and abandonment, as a more restrictive understanding of the biblical canon prevailed – everywhere except in Ethiopia, with its distinctive Christian tradition in which the concept of a “closed canon” is alien. In focusing upon 1 Enoch, Jubilees, the Ascension of Isaiah, the Epistula Apostolorum, and the Apocalypse of Peter, the contributors to this volume group them together as representatives of a time in early Christian history when sacred texts were not limited by a sharply defined canonical boundary. In doing so, this book also highlights the unique and under-appreciated contribution of the Ethiopic Christian Tradition to the study of early Christianity.
