Voices of the Magi by Suzel Reily Pdf

Voices of the Magi explores the popular Catholic musical ensembles of southeastern Brazil known as folias de reis (companies of kings). Composed predominantly of low-income workers, the folias reenact the journey of the Wise Men to Bethlehem and back to the Orient, as they roam from house to house, singing to bless the families they visit in exchange for food and money. These gifts, in turn, are used to prepare a festival on Kings' Day, January 6, to which all who contributed are invited. Focusing on urban folias, Suzel Ana Reily shows how participants use the ritual journeys and musical performances of the folias to create sacred spheres distinct from, yet intimately related to, their everyday world. Reily calls this practice "enchantment" and argues that it allows the folia communities to temporarily make the social ideals of mutual reciprocity and equality embodied in their religious beliefs a reality. The contrast between their ritual experiences and the daily lives of these impoverished workers, in turn, reinforces the religious convictions of these devotees of the music of the Magi.

Voices from the Word by Bill Dunphy Pdf

This is a different kind of book about the Bible. The stories will ring a bell for many of you, but the details of the stories may not be known to you . . . yet! Their voices should sound familiar to you as you read their stories. You will meet kings, shepherds, fishermen, soldiers, desperados, and visionaries; mothers, fathers, teenagers, and babies; good people, and a few bad ones. They may be strangers to you, but as you get to know them, you may recognize their voices as not being that much different from your own or from the voices of people that you know. Some of them may already be familiar to you, but many others are those quieter voices of the minor characters in the major stories of the Bible.

First Voices, Part One: Adam Eber by Walter J. Schenck Pdf

First Voices is an amazingly good work with impressive writing skills that immediately places it as a valuable work to own. It puts Biblical characters and events in a fresh perspective. This is an impressive work that appears to be another Testament. First Voices tells the story of Adam and Eve, Shem and Eber, Noah and the Flood, Sarah, Keturah, Hagar and Abraham, The Minos of Crete, Nimrod and Canaan, Chedorlaomer and the city of Babylon, Esau and Jacob Judah and Shua, the Pharoah and Joseph, the Tower of Babel, the great war of Abraham, the tragedy of Lot, the thinker Jacob and independent Judah. Many other stories presents an uncanny insight into the world's first personalities. This book transcends intelligence and religious narrative. It is a master's craft at its best. First Voices is a great achievement into the world of Biblical literature. Historic events are rendered in grand depictions in epic proportions. It offers an insightful penetration into the word of God and seems to be a separate Testament speaking to the world how God interacts with mankind in real life. First Voices is a beautiful, wonderful, poetic work. And perhaps, the greatest Biblical epic ever written!

The English Eliot by Steve Ellis Pdf

This book, first published in 1991, supplies a neglected cultural context for T. S. Eliot’s writings of the 1930s and 1940s, particularly Four Quartets, and attempts to disprove the widespread belief in Eliot’s unproblematic commitment to England, and the ‘Englishness’. The book traces Eliot’s classicism not only in linguistic and formalist terms but also in his construction of England in the Quartets and Quartets-related essays. His practice is related to the vigorous polemic concerning the definition of England found in the 1930s and 1940s, in material as diverse as landscape painting, advertising, travel literature and the detective novel. This original and provocative text will not only be of interest to students and teachers of Eliot, but to those interested in representations of nationality.
