The Typology of Scripture Volume 1

Publiziert am 26. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Typology of Scripture Volume 1 – Patrick Fairbairn

There are few topics connected with Biblical interpretation, which seem to be more in need of re-investigation. The old opinions have gone out of vogue, without being replaced by any better, or indeed by any other system, so that the whole subject has been long in a most unsettled state. This would be no great evil if typology were merely a matter of curious speculation; but embracing as it does some of the most difficult and interesting questions of interpretation, its perversion or neglect cannot fail to be attended by the most pernicious consequences. Under these impressions, which have long been forming, in this book the difficulties of the subject are … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On The Harmony Of The Gospels Vol. 1

Publiziert am 22. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On The Harmony Of The Gospels Vol. 1 – John Calvin

Calvin produced commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. His commentaries cover the larger part of the Old Testament, and all of the new excepting Second and Third John and the Apocalypse. His commentaries and lectures stand in the front rank of Biblical interpretation. Our Author has exerted a powerful influence on all succeeding expositors. They have found their interest in listening to his instructions, and have been more deeply indebted to him than is generally known. Many valuable interpretations of passages of Scripture appeared for the first time in his writings, and have ever since been warmly approved. In other cases, the … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Occult Sciences

Publiziert am 22. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Occult Sciences – Arthur Edward Waite

The subject of occultism, by which we mean those sciences, called transcendental and magical, a knowledge of which has been transmitted and accumulated in secret, or is contained in books that have an inner or secret meaning, has been very fully dealt with in this volume. The results of many studies were condensed into this portable volume, which conducts the inquirer into the vestibule of each branch of ” the occult sciences,” and places within his reach the proper means of prosecuting his researches further in any desired direction.

Gypsy Sorcery And Fortune Telling

Publiziert am 21. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

Gypsy Sorcery And Fortune Telling – Charles Godfrey Leland

Mr. Leland has been very industrious in collecting himself the strange lore of “what is really the practical religion of all peasants and poor people, that is, their magical ceremonies and medicine; ” and he also sets forth in an interesting manner very much material derived from authorities little known to the common English reader. Fortune-telling,witch-doctoring, love-philtering, and other kinds of sorcery are very fully described; the volume is, indeed, quite a cyclopedia in its way.

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On The Gospel Of John, 12-21 – John Calvin

Calvin produced commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. His commentaries cover the larger part of the Old Testament, and all of the new excepting Second and Third John and the Apocalypse. His commentaries and lectures stand in the front rank of Biblical interpretation. Commentaries On The Gospel Of John are numerous, and some of them are written with great learning and ability. Rarely has a separate and extended interpretation been given to any of the other three Gospels, which are, indeed, so closely interwoven with each other, that it is scarcely possible to expound one of them in a satisfactory manner, without bringing the … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Publiziert am 20. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of Gregory of Nyssa

Gregory of Nyssa was bishop of Nyssa from 372 to 376, and from 378 until his death. He is venerated as a saint in Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Lutheranism and Anglicanism. Gregory, his brother Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nazianzus are collectively known as the Cappadocian Fathers Gregory lacked the administrative ability of his brother Basil, or the contemporary influence of Gregory of Nazianzus, but was an erudite theologian who made significant contributions to the doctrine of the Trinity and the Nicene creed. Gregory’s philosophical writings were influenced by Origen, and he is generally considered to have believed in universal salvation. Since the mid-twentieth century, there has been a significant … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Book Of Martyrs

Publiziert am 19. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Book Of Martyrs – John Foxe

“Acts and Monuments”, commonly known as The Book of Martyrs, is a celebrated work of church history and martyrology. It was published as an affirmation of the Protestant Reformation in England during a period of religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants. Foxe’s account of church history asserted a historical justification that was intended to establish the Church of England as a continuation of the true Christian church rather than as a modern innovation, and it contributed significantly to a nationalistic repudiation of the Roman Catholic Church.

Occult Theocracy

Publiziert am 19. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

Occult Theocracy – Edith Queenborough

This book makes no claim to literary merit. It is simply a work of research and documentation, giving evidence and facts which will help the reader in drawing his own conclusions. The book is not complete simply because it will never be complete. But for the present it is the best study of the root conditions which have led to present day subversive upheavals and the overthrow of the principles of Christian civilization. The book is a fascinating journey into the various occult traditions from the 16th century to the early 20th century and reveals secrets that have long been hidden. The author died under very mysterious circumstances and has taken much of the secrets … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
