The Beginning of Heaven and Earth by Christal Whelan Pdf

In 1865 a French priest was visited by a small group of Japanese at his newly built church in Nagasaki. They were descendants of Japan's first Christians, the survivors of brutal religious persecution under the Tokugawa government. The Kakure Kirishitan, or "hidden Christians," had practiced their religion in secret for several hundred years. Sometime after their visit the priest received a copy of the Kakure bible, the Tenchi Hajimari no Koto, "Beginning of Heaven and Earth," an intriguing amalgam of Bible stories, Japanese fables, and Roman Catholic doctrine. Whelan offers a complete translation of this unique work accompanied by an illuminating commentary that provides the first theory of origin and evolution of the Tenchi. Today, the few Kakure Kirishitan communities still in existence view the Tenchi as strange and flawed, expressing a distorted form of Christianity. It is, however, the only text produced by the Kakure Kirishitan that depicts their highly syncretistic tradition and provides a colorful window through which to examine the dynamics of religious acculturation.

Sacred Journey by Beverley E. Gould Pdf

Lucia was in awe of her new afterlife in the heavenly realms. Serapha, her mother in the family of Light, has prepared her for her new experience on Earth and instructed her on her responsibilities as an ancient soul in new flesh. She is now ready to return to Earth with a pure understanding of how her actions impact others, for better or worse. Joined forever with her spirit brother, David, they are ready to do their part. Each is humbled and exhilarated for what is to come next: a new life, in a newborns body, back on Earth. As they struggle to adjust to their new reality, with all of its pleasure and pain, delight and despair, and love and fear, they find comfort in the knowledge that they are truly serving the Creator, the God/Goddess/All That Is. They know that they are both guided and guarded by a host of angels and that they are bound to service to this higher purpose. Armed with the gift of free will, Lucia and David must now make a crucial decision: Will they choose, of their own volition, to risk their sacred journey to help bring the Light to their fellow travelers and remind them of their own heritageor will they make a different choice?

Loving Stones by David L. Haberman Pdf

"Loving Stones: Making the Impossible Possible in the Worship of Mount Govardhan is based on ethnographic and textual research with two major objectives. First, it is a study of the conceptions of and worshipful interactions with Mount Govardhan, a sacred mountain located in the Braj region of north-central India that has for centuries been considered an embodied form of Krishna. In this capacity it provides detailed information about the rich religious world associated with Mount Govardhan, much of which has not been available in previous scholarly literature. It is often said in that Mount Govardhan "makes the impossible possible" for devoted worshipers. This investigation includes examination of the perplexing paradox of an infinite god embodied in finite form, wherein each particular form is non-different from the unlimited. Second, it aims to address the challenge of interpreting something as radically different as the worship of a mountain and its stones for a culture in which this practice is quite alien. This challenge involves exploration of interpretive strategies that aspire to make the un-understandable understandable, and engages in theoretical considerations of incongruity, inconceivability, and like realms of the impossible. This aspect of the book includes critical consideration of the place and history of the pejorative concept of idolatry (and secondarily, its twin anthropomorphism) in the comparative study of religions. Accordingly, the second aim aspires to use the worship of Mount Govardhan as a site to explore ways in which scholars engaged in the difficult work of representing other cultures struggle to "make the impossible possible".
