A scholarly contribution for students of biblical criticism
In Sacred Text, Secular Times: The Hebrew Bible In The Modern World, editors Leonard J. Greenspoon and Bryan F. LeBeau have effectively collaborated to gathered together fourteen papers which combine to present the reader with a rich, scholarly, and varied exploration of the ways in which the Hebrew bible has influenced the modern world, and the ways in which the modern world has influenced how we read and interpret those sacred writings. From Andrew Skinner's "The Influence Of The Hebrew Bible on the Founders of the American Republic" to Archie C. C. Lee's "Weaving a Humanistic Vision: Reading the Hebrew bible in Asian Religio-Cultural Context", Sacred Text, Secular Times will prove a fascinating, informative, challenging, impressive, and scholarly contribution for students of biblical criticism, sacred text interpretation, Judaic studies, and contemporary culture. ...

Book Description
Pilgrimage is a mindful journey to encounter, explore, and become aware of the sacred. Rosanne Keller's emphasis on sacred, altered time is a distinctive feature of Pilgrim in Time. In this book, she takes us to pilgrimage sites as well as sacred places close at hand, such as one's own garden.

Pilgrimage is also a place to face and deal with our fears. It can lead to self-knowledge. As we continue on the path we move out of ourselves. Pilgrim in Time encourages us to rediscover the sacredness of this earth. ... Read more

inner and outer quest
Every page of Rosanne's book drew me in.Each journey she made gave me the desire to experience more sources of awe for myself.I could see that a pilgrimage helps you grow spiritually, intellectually and also culturally.I learned that before going on a pilgrimage you must let go of any expectations, so you are able to grow in these ways. Everyone should read this book! Everyone should experience a pilgrimage of some kind.It is an inner quest as well as an outer one.

Embracing the Pilgrim Spirit
Keller, a sculptor and retreat leader, introduces herself as a wayfarer, a seeker, and finally, a pilgrim, one who "lets things of the past go and journeys through time." In ten absorbing chapters, she shares the insights she gained while visiting locales described briefly under the headings pyramids, circles, domes, towers, rivers, mountains, islands, temples, cathedrals, mosques, and ruins. And we are with her on the final night of 1999 for a "small pilgrimage" in the frozen fields behind her home in Minnesota.

We learn that Keller walked 176 miles of the border between Wales and England to celebrate her 50th birthday. In one of the final chapters, "an instance of what pilgrim spirit is about," she offers a detailed description of her trek across the 500 miles of "The Way of St. James" in Spain at age 61.

In the final chapter, Keller reflects on the spirit of pilgrimage: "All of us are on journeys that require us to abandon security and take risks, sometimes to change course drastically, and always to keep going, even when we don't know exactly where the path is leading." ... Read more

Book Description
In a richly layered and beautifully illustrated narrative, Raymond Jonas tells the fascinating and surprisingly little-known story of the Sacré-Coeur, or Sacred Heart. The highest point in Paris and a celebrated tourist destination, the white-domed basilica of Sacré-Coeur on Montmartre is a key monument both to French Catholicism and to French national identity. Jonas masterfully reconstructs the history of the devotion responsible for the basilica, beginning with the apparition of the Sacred Heart to Marguerite Marie Alacoque in the seventeenth century, through the French Revolution and its aftermath, to the construction of the monumental church that has loomed over Paris since the end of the nineteenth century.
Jonas focuses on key moments in the development of the cult: the founding apparition, its invocation during the plague of Marseilles, its adaptation as a royalist symbol during the French Revolution, and its elevation to a central position in Catholic devotional and political life in the crisis surrounding the Franco-Prussian War. He draws on a wealth of archival sources to produce a learned yet accessible narrative that encompasses a remarkable sweep of French politics, history, architecture, and art. ... Read more

Well-written, fascinating book!
This is a thoughtful, intelligent, and well-researched book which should be required reading for anyone interested in the fascinating history of French Catholicism.There is much here for professional historians, interested amateurs, and anyone who has ever climbed the hill of Montmartre and pondered the immense church at its summit.Jonas, author of _Industry and Politics in Rural France: Peasants of the Isère, 1870-1914_, convincingly explores the history of the Sacred Heart devotion, the national feelings of guilt after the Franco-Prussian War, and elaborates upon an important aspect of the conservative politics of modern France.The work nicely complements the works of Ruth Harris, Thomas Kselman, Timothy Tackett, and Dale Van Kley.I recommend it very highly.

Book Description
A belief that the ancients held unusual scientific knowledge, of which only fragments remain today, was held by many great philosophers and scientists who participated in the "scientific revolution". Though research by these men led to great discovery, many were convinced that they were merely scratching the surface of an immense but lost pristine knowledge (prisca sapientia) somehow reflected in the architecture and remains of ancient civilizations.In "Temple at the Center of Time Investigations of Sacred Dimension, Revealed in Prophecy, the Temple of Jerusalem, and the Ark of the Covenant, from the works of Isaac Newton", David Flynn uncovers what is sure to be heralded as one of the greatest discoveries of all time.Many books have investigated whether Newton believed that an original pure knowledge existed. Some conclude that he did in fact search for it, but that is the whole of their investigation. A few have written that Newton actually discovered something and try to fit his existing research into a prisca sapientia of their own design, claiming his beliefs fit modern realms of philosophy or eastern religions, but these speculations are not upheld by the body of his work. Although Newton had solved riddles of space, time, gravity, light and invented mathematics to predict the motion of objects, this was not the priscia sapienta. Since the time of Newton, no one has revealed the true form and nature of the original knowledge, or from whence it came until now.For the first time in history, "Temple at the Center of Time" uncovers what Newton was looking for and, in so doing, proves that pivotal events in history are unquestionably connected in time and space to Jerusalem.Newton didn't know it. The key was right in front of him. ... Read more
