The Elder Scrolls series has entranced gamers for two decades with its deep mythology, complex history, and intriguing locations. Players have explored a world in The Elder Scrolls rich with kings, demons, heroes, magic, and gods. Past the Sky's Rim: The Elder Scrolls and Theology engages with the world from the perspective of academic theology and religious studies. Within these pages, scholars ask what it means to become a god, to die alone in the solitude of Vvardenfell, and to live in a world with different afterlives for different people. Attempting to move beyond a shallow engagement, Past the Sky's Rim considers Video Games as serious media capable of transmitting important ideas to those who engage with them and invites readers to think more deeply about what games can say about ultimate realities. | Author: Joshua Wise | Publisher: Gray Matter Books | Publication Date: Mar 03, 2014 | Number of Pages: 208 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 0988930528 | ISBN-13: 9780988930520
Over 400,000 Sold For over fifty years The God Who Is There has been a landmark work that has changed the way the church sees the world. Francis Schaeffer's first book presents a wide-ranging analysis of the intellectual and cultural climate of the second half of the twentieth century, from philosophy to art to liberal theology. Arguing that Christians must constantly engage the questions being asked by their own—and the next—generation, he envisions an apologetics and spirituality both grounded in absolute truth and engaging the whole of reality. "If we are unexcited Christians, we should go back and see what is wrong," Schaeffer writes. "We are surrounded by a generation that can find 'no one home' in the universe. . . . In contrast to this, as a Christian I know who I am; and I know the personal God who is there." In every age, this God continues to provide the anchor of truth and the power of love to meet the world's deepest problems. Named by Christianity Today as one of the "Top 50 Books That Have Shaped Evangelicals" (October 2006), this redesigned classic is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection. Product DetailsISBN-13: 9780830848553 Media Type: Paperback(Anniversar) Publisher: IVP Publication Date: 02-18-2020 Pages: 240 Product Dimensions: 5.50(w) x 8.50(h) x 0.70(d) Series: The IVP Signature CollectionAbout the Author Francis A. Schaeffer (1912–1984) was a pastor, theologian, and speaker with an international ministry who became one of the most influential figures in American evangelicalism during his lifetime. With his wife, Edith, he founded the L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. He was the author of many books, including Escape from Reason and How Should We Then Live?, which have sold millions of copies worldwide. James W. Sire (1933–-2018) was a widely-respected apologist, author, and lecturer who served for more than thirty years as senior editor at InterVarsity Press. He is the author of more than twenty books, including The Universe Next Door, Apologetics Beyond Reason, Beginning with God, Habits of the Mind, Naming the Elephant, and A Little Primer on Humble Apologetics.What People are Saying What People are Saying About This "Francis Schaeffer was a reading, listening, thinking man. He had his finger on the pulse of ongoing cultural trends and had an unusual gift for communicating key ideas at a nontechnical level. In this postmodern era his approach to evangelism and discipling remains supremely relevant." J. I. Packer "Francis Schaeffer was a reading, listening, thinking man. He had his finger on the pulse of ongoing cultural trends and had an unusual gift for communicating key ideas at a nontechnical level. In this postmodern era his approach to evangelism and discipling remains supremely relevant." Ravi Zacharias "Few people deserve the accolade of being 'prophetic.' Among those few, Francis Schaeffer is unquestionably one. Virtually every social, moral or philosophical struggle that we face today was either addressed or envisioned by him." C. Everett Koop "I have known Francis Schaeffer in all the phases of his remarkable ministry. Where he was most unique was in his interaction with young men and women out of tune with our society or theirs. He patiently would allow them to state their case, go as far out on a limb as they wished, and then would gently reconstruct their thinking and eventually their lives according to the principles established so well in The God Who Is There." John Stackhouse "This book, and its companion volumes, accomplished something startling and necessary: It made intellectual history a vital part of the evangelical landscape, opening up the worlds particularly of art and philosophy to a subculture that was suspicious and ignorant of both." Os Guinness "The God Who Is There is the most influential book I have never read. Simply hearing Francis Schaeffer give its message across lecture halls and living rooms of Europe and the United States in the mid-sixties changed my direction forever." Tim LaHaye "Francis Schaeffer was the philosopher-prophet of the twentieth century. He was one of the first to recognize that the real issues in this secular humanist–dominated day were God, life, moral values and freedom." Knowing & Doing "This classic book needs to be read by a new generation that may not know of Schaeffer, and re-read by those who have been influenced by him." R. C. Sproul "In The God Who Is There Francis Schaeffer awakened an entire generation of Christians to the root causes for the eclipse of God in the age of secularism. It remains a contemporary commentary on our times." Show More Table of Contents Table of ContentsForeword by Steven Garber Introduction by James W.

Books to Papercuts Seldom has a people’s cultural expression changed in so short a period of time as the revolution that overtook the Jews with the invention of moveable type and the printed book. Johannes Guttenberg’s invention in the 1450’s quickly swept south and the first Hebrew book, the Aruch, a lexicon for Talmudic study, was printed in Italy in 1470. The illuminated Hebrew manuscript was obsolete within a generation and was replaced by the printed book. The hand had been supplanted by the press.

The 21st diagram of the first part of the book (seen to the right) visibly served as an inspiration for the Plane chart, a diagram describing the hierarchy of the mazoku in the worlds created by the Lord of Nightmares.

WortCunning: A Folk Medicine/Magical Herbal, by Nigel G. Pearson. Hardback Edition. This useful, pocket-sized book is presented as two books in one; in an intriguing ‘double-fronted’ format. The first side, A Folk Medicine Herbal, presents the medicinal herbal information and recipes as passed on to the author. He has complimented this material with the addition of the second, ‘reverse’ side of the book, A Folk Magic Herbal, giving the traditional magical uses for the same plants presented in the first. Nigel explains the book’s back ground: ‘In the early 1980s, I was working with a small coven in a town on the coast of Suffolk, when one of the members mentioned that she was in touch with a family group of witches who were offering her some of their family recipes on herbal medicine. Would I be interested in seeing them and taking a copy too? Yes, I would be very interested, and so, some time later I was presented with the information that they had sent; a set of old-fashioned card-index cards, complete within their box. I dutifully copied them all down into one of my work books and there they stayed, almost unused, for the next 35-odd years. I was never asked to keep this material secret nor, as far as I am aware, was it ever intended to be so. Therefore, I have decided to publish this material in its entirety, for two reasons. Firstly, in my work as a herbalist I am often asked if I know of a genuine, folk or traditional herbal that could be used as a working manual. Secondly, purely in the interests of preserving and disseminating this information to a wider audience of those who would find it interesting. In the second/reverse book I have taken the exact same plants that are given in the first/reverse section of this work and have given their traditional, magical usages. This information was not included in the original notes I received from the family of witches, so I have no way of knowing how they utilised herbs for their magical practice, or indeed if they even did. However, I feel that this information should be included in a book of this type and have therefore endeavoured to fill this omission with the traditional folk-magical uses of the herbs previously described medicinally.’ Contents: Part 1 Wortcunning – A Folk Medicine Herbal Acknowledgements Introduction A Folk Medicine Herbal Part 2 Wortcunning – A Folk Magic Herbal Introduction A Folk Magic Herbal Selected Bibliography and Suggested Reading List Presented as two books in one, a pocket-sized, "reverse-format".

Theology is the study of the nature of God, religious beliefs, and religious practices. It encompasses a wide range of fields, including philosophy, history, ethics, and spirituality, and is practiced by people of many different faiths and denominations. Theologians often explore questions about the meaning of life, the purpose of existence, and the nature of the divine, seeking to understand the role of religion in human culture and experience. Theology can involve studying religious texts and traditions, exploring the history of religious movements, and examining the relationship between religion and contemporary issues. It can be both an academic and a personal pursuit, and can provide individuals with a deeper understanding of their own faith and spirituality, as well as the faith and spirituality of others. ******* Upon purchasing you will receive a file with the link to your content.

THE MYSTERY OF ALL MYSTERIES For people interested in folk magic. The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, arguably one of the most popular magick books ever published, contains two secret apocrypha ascribed to Moses, perhaps pseudepigraphically. The book consists of a collection of texts, which claim to explain the magick Moses used to win the biblical magick contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, part the Red Sea, and perform other miraculous feats. It includes instruction in the form of invocations, magick words, and seals for calling upon the angels to affect worldly ends, from the sublime (calling down a plague of locusts and frogs upon your enemy) to the mundane (getting more money). Many manuscripts and printed pamphlet versions circulated in Germany in the 1800s, and an English translation by Johann Scheible first appeared in New York in 1880 that had not been corrected or re-edited until now. In creating this restored, corrected edition, Joseph Peterson drew on Scheible's final edition of the text and his original sources. It will be of great interest to those who have suffered through prior editions and anyone looking for a traditional source of Western magick. * Used in various modern traditions of American folk magick, from Pennsylvania Dutch hexmeisters and contemporary eclectic magicians, to voodoo practioners and African American root workers. * Updated or fresh translations from original German, Latin, and Hebrew sources and restoration of censored or left out passages in earlier editions and 35 pages of text never before translated. * Describes the biblical magick ascribed to Moses and its application. * Extensively illustrated with over 100 magical seals, signs, and sigils.

The world of Jesus and the early Christians swarmed with prophets and exorcists, holy men and healers, who invoked angels and demons, gods and ghosts. Magic in Christianity: From Jesus to the Gnostics explores that world through the surviving texts of the first Christians and their pagan and Jewish contemporaries. Ecstatic spirit possession, handing opponents over to Satan, sending demons into swine, striking others dead on the spot by pronouncing curses, using articles of clothing and parts of corpses to perform magical healing and exorcism, invoking ghosts and angels for protection-these are all ancient Christian practices described in the New Testament, explained in detail by early Christian writers, and preserved by Christian amulets. Pagans and Jews accused Jesus and his followers of practicing magic and Christians accused one another of sorcery. Both pagan and early orthodox writers describe the rituals of the Gnostic sects in detail, including the magical passwords required to cross through the gates of the lower heavens. Magic in Christianity: From Jesus to the Gnostics examines evidence from the New Testament, the first Christian apologists, early apocryphal works, curse tablets and amulets to reconstruct the apocalyptic magical world of Jesus and the first Christians.

DESCRIPTION Format: Paperback ISBN (International Standard Book Number)/ EAN (European Article Number)/ UPC (Universal Product Code): N/A Author(s): Huston Smith Date of Publication: 1959 Publisher: The New American Library Classification/ Genre: Educational, Theological Discourse Number of Pages: 336 Dust Jacket Cover: No Binding: Yes Art, Illustrations, Diagrams, Cartographical Representations (Maps), and/ or Photographs: No Notable Attribution: First Printing¹ ¹ IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN 1ST PRINTING AND 1ST EDITION CLASSIFICATIONS Items meriting 1st printing designation are representative of that item's initial print run. As an example, when 10,000 copies have been produced and released to the general public and all have been purchased by consumers with the publishing agency responsible for the distribution of said material requesting the manufacture of 7,500 additional copies, what these numbers indicate is a 1st printing - the initial 10,000 copies in the production line - followed soon after by a second printing - the release of the same book in the aforementioned quantity of 7,500. Editions differ from print assignation in the sense that significant changes have been made to the original, either cosmetically through the alteration of cover images and/ or trim size; or in terms of content as with the inclusion of previously unreleased information pertaining to a particular story or novel, etc. The rarity of these items is subjective, as some collectors - especially those specializing in the sale of books emphasizing aesthetic appeal as a marketing point - place a higher degree of value on editions as opposed to print run specificity. ASSESSMENT OF CONDITION Dust Jacket Cover: N/A Binding: FR. Heightened degree of chipping, significant fraying and bending along the edges of the spine, discoloration Paged Content: FR. to G. ABBREVIATIONS KEY FS (Factory Sealed) VF (Very Fine) F (Fine) NF (Near Fine) VG (Very Good) G (Good) FR (Fair) P (Poor) GRADING TERMINOLOGY Chipping - A descriptor emphasizing the absence of portions of a book's edges, specifically as it relates to the binding or dust jacket cover Foxing - Brown spotting of paged content due to chemical exposure or reactivity to chemical agents, a state of condition commonplace to 19th Century written publications, particularly evident in steel engravings Deckled Pagination - Deckled pagination is identified as content ascribed to a particular book or novel whose edges are not evenly distributed, giving it the appearance of being loose from its fulcral attachment (spine). Some publishing companies utilize this as a means of establishing a sense of illusion with regard to the chronological age of a product (so as to create the impression of a faux-type of significance in the nostalgic sense), but, in most instances, deckled pages are a by-product of time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE - If any of the items being featured here pique your interest, please don't hesitate to visit us online at our other Etsy sales venue at https://www.etsy.com/shop/OneReDunn where we have a large selection of vintage collectibles, novelty pieces, art, and household accessories tailored to fit your specific needs.
