John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On Jeremiah 30 – 47

Publiziert am 10. Februar 2018 von Jazzybee

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On Jeremiah 30 – 47 – John Calvin

The Commentaries On Jeremiah, like those on The Minor Prophets, were delivered as Lectures In The Theological School At Geneva, taken down by some of the Pupils, and afterwards read to Calvin, and corrected. We find in them the production of the same vigorous and expansive mind: The Divine Oracles are faithfully explained, the meaning is clearly stated, and such brief deductions are made as the subjects legitimately warrant. Though the Lectures were extemporaneously delivered, there is yet so much order preserved, and such brevity, clearness, and suitableness of diction are found in them, that in these respects they nearly equal the most finished compositions of Calvin as … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Jataka Tales Volume 1

Publiziert am 9. Februar 2018 von Jazzybee

The Complete Jataka Tales – Edward Byles Cowell

The Pali work, entitled ‘the Jataka’, the first volume of which is now presented to the reader in an English form, contains 550 Jatakas or Birth-stories, which are arranged in 22 nipatas or books. This division is roughly founded on the number of verses (gathas) which are quoted in each story; thus the first book contains 150 stories, each of which only quotes one verse, the second 100, each of which quotes two, the third and fourth 50 each, which respectively quote 3 and 4, and so on to the twenty-first with 5 stories, each of which quotes 80 verses, and the twenty-second with 10 stories, each quoting a still larger number. … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Book Of Job

Publiziert am 8. Februar 2018 von Jazzybee

The Book Of Job – James Hastings

Here is a gold mine for the preacher, the teacher and the father and mother in the home who have it in mind to inculcate sound teaching, based upon the Word of God, so that the boys and girls of the congregations, Sunday-Schools and households may be thoroughly rooted and grounded in the essentials of the Christian faith. There are many volumes in this series of short addresses and they cover the entire range of the Holy Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation.

The Sacred Writings of Ephraim the Syrian

Publiziert am 7. Februar 2018 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of Ephraim the Syrian – Ephraim the Syrian

Ephraim the Syrian was a saint who lived in Mesopotamia during the first three quarters of the 4th century A.D. He is perhaps the most influential of all Syriac authors; and his fame as a poet, commentator, preacher and defender of orthodoxy has spread throughout all branches of the Christian Church. This reputation he owes partly to the vast fertility of his pen – according to the historian Sozomen he was credited with having written altogether 3,000,000 lines – partly to the elegance of his style and a certain measure of poetic inspiration, more perhaps to the strength and consistency of his personal character, and his ardour in defence … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Hidden Church of the Holy Graal

Publiziert am 5. Februar 2018 von Jazzybee

The Hidden Church of the Holy Graal – Arthur Edward Waite

The reader who would reach to motives and inspirations, who would seek to understand the subtle and secret forces that have moved all history, it would be difiicult to name a work of greater interest or value than this. To the rarer reader who has come upon traces of an undying tradition–a Hidden Church or Wisdom–the book will be a very revelation. The Graal legend, even as it is known to the general reader, woven into the Arthurian epic, is one of rarest beauty and most profound meaning. But when its rich symbolism is revealed in full, the signicance of the great quest, in the which pure-miuded and self-sacricing … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

A Child’s Life Of Christ

Publiziert am 5. Februar 2018 von Jazzybee

A Child’s Life Of Christ – Hesba Stretton

This book is merely the story of the life and death of our Lord. It has been written for those who have not the leisure, or the books, needed for threading together the fragmentary and scattered incidents recorded in the Four Gospels. These records have been searched diligently for the smallest links, which might serve to complete the chain of those years passed amongst us by One who called himself the Son of man, and did not refuse to be called the Son of God. The great mystery that surrounds Christ is left untouched. Neither love nor thought of ours can reach the heart of it, whilst still we see him as … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

History of the Dhammapda (from wikipedia.com)

According to tradition, the Dhammapada’s verses were spoken by the Buddha on various occasions. “By distilling the complex models, theories, rhetorical style and sheer volume of the Buddha’s teachings into concise, crystalline verses, the Dhammapada makes the Buddhist way of life available to anyone…In fact, it is possible that the very source of the Dhammapada in the third century B.C.E. is traceable to the need of the early Buddhist communities in India to laicize the … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
