The book includes one hundred eleven poetry quartets written with inspiration dictated by multiple circumstantial events, including what is related to the Chaldean issue and its merits and what deals with the Chaldean ecclesiastical reality and its dimensions affecting the parish. Twenty-one quartets express the feelings of the Chaldeans towards each other and towards certain factors that determine their fate. Thirty-three quartets touch on a few decisions of the Chaldean Church and the behavior of the spiritual leaders, which inflicted a negative impact on the feelings of parishioners in general. Fifteen quartets highlight the weight of the city of Babylon in Mesopotamian Christian history and the reaction of the educated and conscious elite of the Chaldeans towards the decision of the Chaldean Ecclesiastical leadership. This decision marginalized the Babylonian symbol that has accompanied the Chaldean Church since its foundation. Nine quartets ridicule the officials of the International Chaldean League for their negative attitude towards the marginalization of the entity of Babylon by the Chaldean clergy. Seven quartets affirm that the term “caliphate” has an Islamic connotation that does not accept any doubt or controversy, both linguistically and historically. Eleven quartets refer to the electoral farce in which the Christians of Iraq are competing for only five seats. Ten quartets declare that many clergies do not respond to the queries of the Chaldean people and criticize the contempt of some of the Chaldeans and their mockery of the academic achievement or the cultural output of their peers. The last five quartets conclude that what is mentioned is not meant to be a matter of reproach or defamation but rather for reform and renewal. Selected passages from the quartets inspired eight fine artists. Their magic fingers created twenty-five sketches that add to the totality of the poetic quartets a splendid luster and distinct beauty.

Tracing the powerful motif of the coming of the Son of man from Daniel through to Revelation, Andrew Perriman provides thought-provoking ideas about eschatological narrative. What was it like to hear the biblical proclamation of this coming for the first time in a cultural, political, and religious context very different from our own? How did early Christians think about the imminence of the promised day of the Lord? What difference did this message make to how they thought, lived, and spread the gospel message? This book engages the minds of jaded twenty-first-century postmoderns who have heard it all before. By seeing the fulfilment of much of New Testament apocalyptic in events of the first centuries, Perriman proposes that in some important sense we have moved beyond eschatology--into an age of renewed community and mission that is creational in its scope.ÊThe Coming of the Son of ManÊis important reading for those who want to engage in the debate concerning what church is--and will be.

The book of Ezekiel was written during a tumultuous time in Israel's history. It begins with Ezekiel's warning of Jerusalem's fall and his at the time unbelievable prediction of the destruction of the temple. Ezekiel also covers the period up through the Babylonian exile. Although much in the book of Ezekiel focuses on the consequences of Israel's rebellion against God that led to the destruction of Jerusalem, even more deals with the hope of Israel's rebirth with divine assistance. In this book, Old Testament scholar Ronald Clements explains the world and worldview of Ezekiel. What emerges is a vision of hope and rebirth for all who seek God's love and guidance.

Genre: Religion
ISBN: 1598561812

The Prophets is widely recognized as a masterpiece of biblical scholarship. Heschel attempts to understand the thoughts, feelings, and impressions of each of the prophets, presenting the reader with a sense of their very being. He effectively achieves a balance between the objective supernatural and the subjective human situation, and presents a unique discussion of Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Micah, Jeremiah, and Habakkuk and their particular challenges and journeys. In the second part of the book, Heschel addresses such subjects as pathos, wrath, sympathy, ecstasy, psychosis, and prophetic and poetic inspiration, and in so doing offers a new contribution to the philosophy of religion. The Prophets is both scholarly and devotional, an indispensable part of an in-depth understanding of the Hebrew Bible.
