Egyptian Myths And Legend

Publiziert am 25. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

Egyptian Myths And Legend – Donald Mackenzie

In this volume the myths and legends of ancient Egypt are embraced in a historical narrative which begins with the rise of the great Nilotic civilization and ends with the Græco−Roman Age. The principal deities are dealt with chiefly at the various periods in which they came into prominence, while the legends are so arranged as to throw light on the beliefs and manners and customs of the ancient people. Metrical renderings are given of such of the representative folk songs and poems as can be appreciated at the present day.

John Calvin’s Commentaries On St. Paul’s Epistle To The Hebrews

Publiziert am 18. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

John Calvin’s Commentaries On St. Paul’s Epistle To The Hebrews – 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. No doubt the Epistle next in importance to that to the Romans is this to the Hebrews. The truths explained in it might, indeed, have been deduced from other portions of Scripture; but it is a vast advantage and a great satisfaction to find them expressly set forth, and distinctly stated by an inspired Apostle. In condescension to our ignorance, it … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Prophecies and Revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden

Publiziert am 14. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

The Prophecies and Revelations of Saint Bridget of Sweden – Saint Bridget

Saint Bridget of Sweden was a mystic and saint, and founder of the Bridgettines after the death of her husband of twenty years. As a child, she had already believed herself to have visions; these became more frequent, and her records of these “Celestial revelations” obtained a great vogue during the Middle Ages. Her visions of the Nativity of Jesus had a great influence on depictions of the Nativity of Jesus in art. This edition contains all that is known today of the visions and prophecies of Saint Brigdet and most of her prayers.

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On St. Paul’s Epistles To The Philippians, Colossians And Thessalonians

Publiziert am 14. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On St. Paul’s Epistles To The Philippians, Colossians And Thessalonians – 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. The Epistle To The Philippians stands associated with a most interesting event in the history of the progress of Christianity. While the charge given to the Apostles as to the universal promulgation of the Gospel was most explicit, it was in a gradual manner, and for the most part under the guidance of circumstances seemingly fortuitous, that … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Kebra Nagast

Publiziert am 11. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

Kebra Nagast – E. A. Wallis Budge

This volume contains a complete English translation of the famous Ethiopian work, The “Kebra Nagast”, i.e. the “Glory of the Kings [of Ethiopia]”. This work has been held in peculiar honour in Abyssinia for several centuries, and throughout that country it has been, and still is, venerated by the people as containing the final proof of their descent from the Hebrew Patriarchs, and of the kinship of their kings of the Solomonic line with Christ, the Son of God. The Kebra Nagast is a great storehouse of legends and traditions, some historical and some of a purely folk-lore character, derived from the Old Testament and the later Rabbinic writings, and from Egyptian (both … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
