Reports of dreams, journeys into the heavens, and other alternate states of consciousness abound in the Old and New Testaments and in extrabiblical literature. While some scholars have considered such reports to be simple literary devices, John J. Pilch a leading expert in social scientific interpretation of the Bible believes otherwise. As Pilch points out, anthropological research on over 400 representative cultures in the world shows that more than ninety percent of these cultures have reported such experiences routinely. Factual or not, he says, biblical accounts of alternate consciousness are both plausible and significant because they constitute a very common, real, human experience in their respective cultures. Drawing on insights from from anthropology, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and the social sciences, Pilch investigates and interprets Old and New Testament accounts of dreams, visions, journeys into the heavens, and other alternate states of consciousness within their cultural contexts. The result is a fresh and intriguing take on familiar biblical events. Flights of the Soul sheds new light on such things as these: * Ezekiel s prophetic visions * Enoch s sky journeys * Jesus transfiguration and ascension * Resurrection appearances in the Gospels * Paul s ecstatic vision on the road to Damascus * John s heavenly journeys described in Revelation

Finally, I Do... Again by ,Marq,Beverly Redmond Pdf
Like many of you, this year started out with great promise for prosperity. An international health crisis was not in anyone's plan. This was to be a year of grinding, promoting, and launching, as well as further defining our message of not giving up on the possibilities of first marriage, second chances, and endless love. Instead, we were offered a much-needed chance to slow down and talk to each other about our story and purpose. What did God really have in mind for our union when we said, "I do...again"? My first marriage? My husband's second? What aspects of our relationship did we still need to strengthen? We never want to present to readers that we are a perfect pair or the ultimate power couple. We always want to be transparent with ourselves first and honest with those we encounter. Marriage is hard work but worth the investment. Our story, thus far, has taught us many lessons and personal observations that we want to add to the ongoing conversation about finding happiness and contentment. No, we are not marriage experts. We are humble students of marriage. Sometimes our outcomes are funny and, in other instances, quite poignant. As we emerge from quarantine, we pray that our journey finds its way to your reading nook, date night, study group or book club. Most of all, we hope our internal work makes an enjoyable read, causes you to giggle a lot, creates a tear or two, and becomes a source of inspiration to tackle the "finallys" and "agains" in your own relationships, whatever they may be. -Marq and Bev Redmond
