Anguish of the Innocent by Ellen Williamson Pdf

ANGUISH OF THE INNOCENT is a story about how innocent people suffer because of the guilty and the extent some would go to defend them. How can the vengeful actions of one person cause so much pain and anguish to so many innocent people? How could Joshua and Louisa Posey’s lives of peace and tranquility be so greatly effected by one man? Wade Posey and John Mayo see the pain caused by this single act of revenge and take it upon themselves to prove the innocence of their friend, Joshua Posey. Mattie Posey Mayo is caught up in helping protect her dearest friends. She takes extreme measures and is put in danger in her efforts to keep them from the clutches of the Ku Klux Klan. How could the course of Billy Richard’s entire future be so drastically changed by this same action? His grief over the death of his father and the possibility of the death of an innocent man causes him to react in ways that would change his life forever. John Mayo compromises his integrity and goes to great lengths to help him. Some said it all started at the wedding of Mattie Posey and John Mayo - but I really think it started long before then. I suppose Red Sawyer had it in his heart to lash out at some black man, some black family - any black family - it was just that Louisa Posey exerted a bit of independence which Red interpreted as defiance. Red hated defiance, which was difficult to understand since he defied much of the social decorum of his time. He had no idea how his one act of revenge would affect so many innocent people in Philadelphia, Mississippi or how the people he cared about most would suffer from one cowardly act. He should have known, but revenge dominated his thoughts, determined his actions and set the course of a lot of lives. VENGEANCE IS MINE; I WILL REPAY, SAITH THE LORD. (The Bible - Romans 12:19b)

Mathilda by Mary Shelley Pdf

Mathilda (1959) is a posthumous novella by English writer and Romantic Mary Shelley. Written as a means of self-distraction following the deaths of her young children in Italy, Mathilda is a work haunted by tragic loss. Unpublished for over a century, its posthumous appearance helped cement Shelley’s reputation as a leading Romantic, an artist unafraid of confronting such themes and taboos as incest and suicide in her work. Mathilda, named after its narrator, traces a young woman’s troubled life from birth to her premature deathbed. Following her mother’s death during childbirth and her father’s subsequent abandonment, Mathilda is raised by her aunt in rural Loch Lomond, Scotland. A gifted reader and promising intellectual, she rises from her difficult circumstances to lead a relatively happy childhood. When, at the age of 16, her father reenters her life, the two reconnect and eventually move together to London. As she begins to receive suitors however, her father’s strange jealousy and irrational behavior conceal a terrible secret. When he reveals his incestuous desires to Mathilda, she rejects him, resulting in his suicide and leaving her unmarried, orphaned, and financially unstable. Living in self-imposed exile, she befriends the similarly melancholy Woodville, a young widower and poet who does his best to care for her despite her crushing bouts of depression and frequent suicidal thoughts. Mathilda is an emotionally complex and ultimately difficult novella recognized for its controversial themes and for its parallels to Shelley’s own tragic life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Mary Shelley’s Mathilda is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Critical Practice by Martin McQuillan Pdf

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. What is the relationship between theory and practice in the creative arts today? In Critical Practice, Martin McQuillan offers a critical interrogation of the idea of practice-led research. He goes beyond the recent vocabulary of research management to consider the more interesting question of the emergence of a cultural space in which philosophy, theory, history and practice are becoming indistinguishable. McQuillan considers the work of a number of writers and thinkers who cross the divide between theoretical and creative practice, including Alain Badiou and Terry Eagleton, and the longer tradition of 'theory-writing' that runs through the work of Hélène Cixous, Roland Barthes and Louis Althusser. His aim is to elucidate the contemporary ramifications of a relationship that has been contested throughout the long history of philosophy, from Plato's dialogues to Derrida's 'Envois'.

The City of God, Volume II by Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine Pdf

The City of God, Volume II Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine - "The glorious city of God is my theme in this work; which you; my dearest son Marcellinus; suggested; and which is due to you by my promise. I have undertaken its defence against those who prefer their own gods to the Founder of this city;a city surpassingly glorious; whether we view it as it still lives by faith in this fleeting course of time; and sojourns as a stranger in the midst of the ungodly; or as it shall dwell in the fixed stability of its eternal seat; which it now with patience waits for; expecting until "righteousness shall return unto judgment;" and it obtain; by virtue of its excellence; final victory and perfect peace. A great work this; and an arduous; but God is my helper." -an excerpt

Laughter by Karl-Josef Kuschel Pdf

Theology is not a subject especially noted for its jokes (though one of the chapters in this book has a good collection of them). However, since laughter is such an important element in life, there would be something wrong if it could not be heard in theology: not mocking laughter, but the laughter which indicates delight and joy. And that such laughter cannot be heard today in the Roman Catholic church in its 'wintry season' is an important indication of its problems. Dr Kuschel traces a fascinating story of laughter: from Sarah in the Hebrew Bible through Homer, Plato and Aristotle, Mozart and Kafka, to Umberto Eco and The Name of the Rose. There is a long chapter on Christian laughter and its foundations in the New Testament and there is a discussion of the Christian condemnation of laughter, among the church fathers and the monastic tradition. And sometimes laughter is out of place - a lesson which our modern world has not really learned. Jesus, from whom Christianity arose, was laughed at; and his followers have known what it is to be laughed at too. That recognition, too, is vital; one more strand in what proves to be the rich vein of new theological insights offered here. `How much underlies laughter! This is the kind of theology that we need: the world in all its heights and depths, everything clearly thought through, brilliantly written and at the same time centred on the Christian message' (Hans Kung). Karl-Josef Kuschel teaches ecumenical theology and theological aesthetics in the University of Tubingen.
