A Finger on the Light
Does the man who denies the existence of a God-Creator of all things not run the risk of believing himself to be God? There are innumerable texts on atheism that are very popular nowadays! The question is: how do we separate the wheat from the chaff? The interest of this counterpoint to Richard Dawkins' atheism lies initially in its approach to the subject and its style; it subsequently becomes revealing and wisely enlightening. Its author Gilles Charles Vuille has not attempted, as Richard Dawkins does, to transmit his own personal opinion but does the complete opposite: indeed throughout the work we are aware of his concern to distil the message expressed in the powerful voices of a vast n...
The Resurrection, Or the Immortality of the Body
Author Gilles Charles Vuille launches his latest book The Resurrection, or the Immortality of the Body where he explores the depths of death and explains why it should be perceived as the gateway to eternal life. Vuille takes an objective stance on helping readers understand what happens during the afterlife. He anchors his premise on how "many are created, but few are saved." He builds it up from Jesus' own words which have been given through different messengers across centuries. His sources include scriptures that date back even before Jesus' time and follow a trail of powerful excerpts from renowned mystics, scribes, philosophers, including the Holy Bible. In the book, the author display...
THE RESURRECTION
Death-for most people-is an event that should - alas- not be discussed, showing too often embarrassment toward this taboo subject, while the resurrection will be -later-the next and final step for all of us. Even though the topic is extensive, Christianity offers a unique picture of it. Suffice to mention the Christian Creed - first adopted in 325 A.D. in the time of Emperor Constantine - the end of which states... I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen! In these few words expressed in this Creed, everything is said, resurrection and eternal life included. Therefore, how could so many people still be afraid of death, when Jesus-Christ offers immortality to anybody willing to follow his precepts? This is what the author, Gilles Charles Vuille, is willing to communicate, sharing his in-depth knowledge on the subject.
Le Doigt Sur La Lumière
Lhomme qui nie lexistence dun Dieu-Crateur de toutes choses ne risque-t-il pas de se prendre pour Dieu ? Les crits sur lathisme sont lgion, font recette aujourdhui ! Question : comment reconnatre le bon grain de livraie ? Lintrt de ce Contre-chant lathisme de Richard Dawkins rside dabord dans sa conception, son approche, son style; il se trouve ensuite tre rvlateur et savamment clairant. Son auteur, Gilles Charles Vuille, na pas cherch, comme Richard Dawkins, transmettre sa pense personnelle, mais tout son contraire : on ressent, en effet, cette proccupation distiller, au fil des pages, des paroles fortes manant dune multitude dhommes et de femmes notoires, ayant fait lexprience de lAmour de Dieu. Cette recherche minutieuse, travers les millnaires, amne progressivement vider de sa substance les thses sur lathisme. Voil une lecture qui pourrait bien nous mener la Lumire ! Luc Claessens

The Palgrave Handbook of Affect Studies and Textual Criticism
This volume provides a comprehensive account of how scholarship on affect and scholarship on texts have come to inform one another over the past few decades. The result has been that explorations of how texts address, elicit, shape, and dramatize affect have become central to contemporary work in literary, film, and art criticism, as well as in critical theory, rhetoric, performance studies, and aesthetics. Guiding readers to the variety of topics, themes, interdisciplinary dialogues, and sub-disciplinary specialties that the study of interplay between affect and texts has either inaugurated or revitalized, the handbook showcases and engages the diversity of scholarly topics, approaches, and projects that thinking of affect in relation to texts and related media open up or enable. These include (but are not limited to) investigations of what attention to affect brings to established methods of studying texts—in terms of period, genre, cultural contexts, rhetoric, and individual authorship.
Essay on the Geography of Plants
The legacy of Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) looms large over the natural sciences. His 1799–1804 research expedition to Central and South America with botanist Aimé Bonpland set the course for the great scientific surveys of the nineteenth century, and inspired such essayists and artists as Emerson, Goethe, Thoreau, Poe, and Church. The chronicles of the expedition were published in Paris after Humboldt’s return, and first among them was the 1807 “Essay on the Geography of Plants.” Among the most cited writings in natural history, after the works of Darwin and Wallace, this work appears here for the first time in a complete English-language translation. Covering far more than its title implies, it represents the first articulation of an integrative “science of the earth, ” encompassing most of today’s environmental sciences. Ecologist Stephen T. Jackson introduces the treatise and explains its enduring significance two centuries after its publication.
