In a time when Charles Wesley's hymns, and even his name, are slowly fading from the purview of many Christians, this book is intended to recover the precious heritage of our past, and to bring to the reader's attention a sample of the massive body of Christian verse which that genius composed throughout his life. The main body of the book is a selection of well known, lesser known, and unknown hymns and Psalm paraphrases, intended for devotional use and for teaching the basic Christian doctrines. These selections are arranged around the Christian year, as is appropriate, since Wesley was and remained a devout Anglican. Associated essays give a biographical outline of Wesley's life and ministry, analyze his verse, explore the sources of his music, and discuss various theological and devotional issues which arise from his hymns. With this volume goes the prayer that it will be used of God to recover Scriptural worship "in reverence and holy fear," appreciate his poetry, foster humble piety, promote doctrinal awareness, and to love and serve the same God of all grace and Christ of redemption whom it was Wesley's delight to serve.
Since the iconoclastic controversies of the eighth and ninth centuries, the visual arts have been the subject of much ecclesiastical discussion and contention. In particular, since the mid-1960s Protestant scholars and clergy have been paying more attention to the potential role of the visual arts in theology and liturgy of the Christian Church. As a result, numerous programs were begun under a variety of nomenclature, e.g., Religion and the Arts, Theology and the Arts, etc. Most of the essays in this book were originally presented as part of the Pruit Symposium on "Interpreting Christian Art, " held at Baylor University in October 2000. The symposium provided the opportunity to bring togeth...
CENTİLMEN "Metres Serisi 3" - Müjde AKLANOĞLU Dünyanın sadece kendi etraflarında döndüğüne inanan çapkınları dize getirecek yegâne varlıklar, gücünün farkında olan kadınlardır... Ve bu kadınlardan dünyada çok fazla yoktur! Çünkü çapkınlar için önemli olan eş değil, istediği an uzatmadan terk edebileceği bir aşığın sıcak koynu ve o an geldiğinde ödeyeceği meblağını ona sağlayan banka hesabıdır. Fakat işler bu sefer sarpa sardı, Bir gecelik heves birden aylara dönünce terk ederim sandığı kadın hayatına sızdı... Buraya kadar her şey normaldi, ancak yanlış olan, adamın özgür olmaması, Ve kadının bunu kabullenememesiydi… Aşk için neleri feda edersin? Erdem mi? Gurur mu? Haysiyet mi? Gelecek mi? Ya hem aşkından hem bunlardan vazgeçmeyi beceremezsen, ne yaparsın? Metres serisinin ilk kitabı "Aşka Metres Tutuldu" kitabının yan karakterlerinin bağımsız devam eden serisidir.

Franz Kafka’nın daha önce kitaplarda yer almamış bazı anlatılarını da içeren Ceza Kolonisinde, Can Yayınları’ndan çıkmıştı. Bu kitabın devamı niteliğindeki Bir Kavganın Tasviri, yazarın ölümünden sonra ardında bıraktığı anlatılardan oluşuyor. Böylece Kafka’nın bütün anlatıları iki kitap halinde toplanmış oluyor. Bu kitapta yer alan 34 anlatı, özünde yalnız olan bireyin, “kafkaesk” dünyanın çıkmaz sokaklarında var olma çabasını gözler önüne seriyor. Kafka, varoluşun karanlık boyutlarını, kendisinden ne önce ne de sonra hiçbir yazarın ulaşamadığı bir yoğunlukta tasvir ediyor. Kahramanları kadar yalnız olan Kafka, 20. yüzyıl edebiyatı\u00ADnı derinden etkilemiştir. Onun eserinde bireyin korkuları, umutsuzlukları, açmazları tematik bir çokkatmanlılık içinde duru bir dille işlenmiştir.
Late antiquity was a perilous time for children, who were often the first victims of economic crisis, war, and disease. They had a one in three chance of dying before their first birthday, with as many as half dying before age ten. Christian writers accordingly sought to speak to the experience of bereavement and to provide cultural scripts for parents who had lost a child. These late ancient writers turned to characters like Eve and Sarah, Job and Jephthah as models for grieving and for confronting or submitting to the divine. Jephthah's Daughter, Sarah’s Son traces the stories these writers crafted and the ways in which they shaped the lived experience of familial bereavement in ancient Christianity. A compelling social history that conveys the emotional lives of people in the late ancient world, Jephthah's Daughter, Sarah's Son is a powerful portrait of mourning that extends beyond antiquity to the present day.
