Criticism & Interpretation
Review:I read a lot of these short stories. Mostly they are about stoic men drinking and either killing other people, getting killed, killing themselves, remembering a death, or being witness to some death of something. Read more
Review:I first encountered the idea that Western individuals misread the Bible some ten years ago. Since then I've read various works covering different aspects of this important topic, from general concepts to specific treatments.
"Misreading" is a great overview, but it works through specific examples to illustrate and instruct how the Western mind "sees" things in scripture that aren't there and misses things that are. I found much here that was new and useful in my continuing studies on this... Read more
Review:These books are profound and what I was hoping they would dive into. If you're looking to deepen your understanding of The Christ Consciousness and where it originates from in pure form, then you have discovered it in here. Enjoy the journey! Read more
Review:Drosnin fails to mention that ALL VOWELS were first deleted and then re-inserted with other vowels to fabricate new words to fit what the authors want to say. THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!! In Hebrew, vowels are formed by intricate markings below (underneath) the constanants. These markings aren't in their computer program which effectively eliminates them from the actual words. They then put in any vowels they choose and change the entire meaning and context. For example the word, WORD becomes WRD.... Read more
Review:Scott Hahn has it all over other Catholic authors. I love his works.

A must-rea... Read more

Review:All Things New: Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything You Love by John Eldredge reminds the reader of an often forgotten, yet essential, part of Christianity - the restoration and renewal of earth. As Eldredge puts it on page 16, "the thing you are made for is the renewal of all things. God has given you a heart for his kingdom - not the wispy vagaries of a cloudy heaven, but the sharp reality of the world made new."
Jesus speaks often in the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Knowi... Read more
