The ancient cathedral was the pinnacle of medieval society's spiritual and cultural life employing the best designers, artists, craftsmen and materials that available money could buy. They developed into enclaves of worship, learning, hospitality, art, music, agriculture and medicine in an often chaotic and violent outside world. A change of religion, rulers and constitution has meant they have constantly been rebuilt and altered throughout their 1,700 year history. Many will be overwhelmed by their size and beauty, baffled by their layout and symbolism. They may well ask: Why were they built here and what is so special about the site? Who were the patrons and organizations that commissioned their building? How did they raise the finance to build them? What was the purpose of a cathedral and why were they so big? Where did the design ideas come from and who were the designers? How was it built and by whom? How has it changed over the years and is it still used today? This book aims to answer these and many other frequently asked questions. Overriding themes will cover English history, architecture, building technology and religion, all written in plain English with any specialist terms being fully explained in the glossary. The book includes contemporary accounts of building work at Canterbury and Ely cathedrals, the laying of the first stone at Salisbury Cathedral, the damage done to the cathedrals, abbeys and monasteries by the Reformation and the Puritans following their victory in the English Civil Wars. There are portraits of some of the key-figures in our narrative: the working lives, wealth and training of the monks, bishops, priors, master masons and other craftsmen.

The Truth of Babri Mosque (Paperback): Ashok Pant The Truth of Babri Mosque (Paperback)

R478 Discovery Miles 4 780 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The word Babri was literally used to define something abnormal, out of sense or mad. Three instances mentioned in Babar-Nama support this. Babar's journal is replete with precise detail with a telling image or idiom as "a bud resembling a sheep's heart," "fell like water on fire" which lingers in the reader's mind long after the event or anecdote has receded. Few of the phrases and words in the Babar Nama are now part of everyday language in India and Pakistan as "Namak Haram" means lack of trustworthiness, "hamesha" means always, "bakhshish" means gift, "maidan" means plain area, "julab" means laxative and the most important, which is of our use here, is "Babri/Baburi /Bavala" means related to unhealthy mental state or mad or abandoned or one who is abnormal. Babar writes about his infatuation, after his marriage in March AD 1500, for a boy as, "In those days I discovered myself a strange inclination - no, a mad infatuation-for a boy in the camp's bazaar, his name was Babri/Baburi being apposite. Until then I had no inclination of love and ... a couplet of Muhammad Salih came to my mind: When I see my friend I am abashed with shame; My companions look at me, I look away sans aim.

This couplet suited my state of mind perfectly. In that maelstrom of desire and passion, and under the stress of youthful folly, I used to wander, bareheaded and barefoot, through streets and lanes, orchards and vineyards. I showed civility neither to friends nor to strangers, took no care of myself or others." Babar clearly stated that guy's name was Bavara as he was of raging and flickering nature and Babar himself became Bavara or crazy for him to attain his sexual proximity....

That is why the term "Babri Mosque" is specially used only for the construction that was done according to Mughal architecture at Ramjanmabhoomi because it was made for Hindus not for Muslims. Babri Mosque means Mosques of infidels-insane Hindus.

The Beauty of Holiness - Anglicanism and Architecture in Colonial South Carolina (Paperback): Louis P Nelson The Beauty of Holiness - Anglicanism and Architecture in Colonial South Carolina (Paperback)
Louis P Nelson
R1,640 Discovery Miles 16 400 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Intermingling architectural, cultural, and religious history, Louis Nelson reads Anglican architecture and decorative arts as documents of eighteenth-century religious practice and belief. In The Beauty of Holiness, he tells the story of the Church of England in colonial South Carolina, revealing how the colony's Anglicans negotiated the tensions between the persistence of seventeenth-century religious practice and the rising tide of Enlightenment thought and sentimentality. Nelson begins with a careful examination of the buildings, grave markers, and communion silver fashioned and used by early Anglicans. Turning to the religious functions of local churches, he uses these objects and artifacts to explore Anglican belief and practice in South Carolina. Chapters focus on the role of the senses in religious understanding, the practice of the sacraments, and the place of beauty, regularity, and order in eighteenth-century Anglicanism. The final section of the book considers the ways church architecture and material culture reinforced social and political hierarchies. Richly illustrated with more than 250 architectural images and photographs of religious objects, The Beauty of Holiness depends on exhaustive fieldwork to track changes in historical architecture. Nelson imaginatively reconstructs the history of the Church of England in colonial South Carolina and its role in public life, from its early years of ambivalent standing within the colony through the second wave of Anglicanism beginning in the early 1750s.

People wonder what the future holds for them; they would no doubt like to know for certain. But is it possible? It may be, but how desperate are you to know? Are you willing to risk being deceived just to believe in something you just want to hear and believe?

Many wonder whether there really is a way of finding out. Will you regret your choice in putting your complete confidence in someone who claims they have all the answers? Will they be correct? Or will you suffer disappointment or beyond. It has been said that no one but Almighty God knows the future for anyone. Are you willing to seek his way for answers, or will you choose another way, a way that has been known to bring sorrow and counterfeit results--a way that has a reputation to continually fail, such as turning to a psychic?

El nos ama tanto y sabe que usted va a pasar momentos en su vida cristiana que se sentira, frustrado, confundido y desanimado de tal manera que dudara de su salvacion. Preguntandose si en verdad es salvo, porque le atraen todavia esos pecados, y todavia tiene ciertos deseos o pensamientos malos?, y se desanima tratando de ignorar lo que le pasa o lo que siente. En lugar de tomar las ensenanzas de Jesus para poder vencer en toda circunstancia, y problema. No ignore los problemas ni adicciones ni tempestades pensando que desapareceran sino confrontelos cara a cara con la palabra de Dios y siempre saldra vencedor sobre todas las circunstancias.

Chris Ekpekurede
R294 Discovery Miles 2 940 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

For twenty-five years I have been involved in extensive infrastructural projects for churches as a volunteer project manager. These were multi-million-dollar projects that delivered the wealth of experience set down in this book. They have opened my eyes to project strategies that work, and those that do not work. The book is a vital tool for church operators and organizational leaders alike. Church and communal projects do not only pose engineering challenges, but are predominantly a hearts-and-minds issue. The book covers how a church project should be conceived, planned, and executed. It thrashes issues such as the part-time status of building committee members, the use of uncompleted facilities in concurrent operations, contractor selection, managing stakeholder expectations, and the technical and spiritual qualifications of project officials. It outlines viable options for funding church projects and strategies for preserving church infrastructural investments. A Christian and civil engineer, Chris Ekpekurede is a public speaker and motivator. He was chief engineer in a subsidiary of the Royal Volker Stevin of Holland, and the head of corporate civil engineering for Shell Petroleum Development Company. He is a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, Nigerian Institution of Civil Engineers, and the Institute of Human and Natural Resources. He is the author of Getting to Maximum and Take Your Service to Maximum. His fourth book, Laughing Over Serious Matters, is in the offing. An expert in church projects, he says, "The quality of our worship also shows in how we manage church projects." Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/ChrisEkpekurede

While Suffolk is justly famed for its historic churches, the gravestones and churchyard memorials surrounding these are often overlooked or ignored. This book presents the first coherent historical survey of Suffolk gravestones from the Middle Ages onwards, describing their development and explaining the symbolism of gravestone art and design. It includes a selection of epitaphs, some poignant, some amusing, together with sections on mausoleums, animal graves and unusual burial places such as 'The Boy's Grave' near Newmarket. Comprehensively illustrated throughout, this is a unique survey of a fascinating and little investigated area of local history.

Wildlife Imagery in Churches Have you ever wondered why holly, ivy and mistletoe feature particularly at Christmas? Why vine, grapes and wheat are the most common plants portrayed and why is yew planted in many churchyards? Do you know where to find a green mole, a six-legged spider and a blue frog with white patterns on its body? In which church can you see moths and butterflies and where might you find a Jewel Beetle? What are the reasons for carving a preaching fox or for painting two apes disembowelling a pig? Why are lions sometimes found carved on the stonework doorways of older churches? Are you aware of their significance? In which churches will you see windows dedicated to St Francis preaching to identifiable birds? Lecterns invariably illustrate eagles, but in one church the eagle is replaced by a carving of a turkey. Why? What is the symbolism behind depictions of the 'Pelican in its Piety'? Can you tell the difference between a dragon, a griffin and a wyvern; or between a harpy, a mermaid and a siren? Carved in wood and stone, painted and stained on glass, and embroidered on church textiles, the flora and fauna of the natural world can be found in many churches. Explore the reasons why, in this well illustrated and fascinating book, the subjects were chosen, their religious significance, and the myths, legends and history associated with them.

DURHAM CATHEDRAL is regarded as the finest Romanesque building in Europe. Along with the neighbouring castle it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 - one of only two English cathedrals to hold such an honour. In an online poll held by the Guardian in 2011 to find Britain's favourite building, Durham Cathedral enjoyed a runaway victory. Many superlatives have been heaped on this magnificent church, standing high above the ancient medieval city, on its protective peninsula formed by the River Wear. It is at once spiritual, powerful and poetic, the mystic heart of the North East. Built by the Normans to house the shrine of St Cuthbert, and also containing the shrine of St Bede, the Father of English History, its inward beauty matches its exterior. The first impression of the nave, on entering at the west end, is both incomparable and unforgettable. This book is a journey in words and images through this wonderful building. It seeks to present the Cathedral's many facets: architectural, historical, artistic, spiritual and humane. Its authors have come to admire and love this building over two lifetimes, and offer their personal interpretation of it as an invitation to a pilgrimage. They hope that this is a book to remember the Cathedral by. Perhaps it can be more than a souvenir: rather, a book that captures the spirit of the place and keeps it alive for all who have come to cherish it as the authors do.

"Revelation and Trinity" provides a guide for the serious study of the systematic theologies of John Calvin and Karl Barth.

The controversial debate between Karl Barth and Emil Brunner drew attention to John Calvin's theology. Each one claims his theology is more faithful to Calvin's theology than the other. In "Revelation and Trinity," author Sang-Hwan Lee analyzes and interprets the theologies of Calvin's 1559 "Institutes" and Barth's "Church Dogmatics" and how they affect Christianity.

Originally a doctoral thesis, Lee's analysis demonstrates their conceptual basis in the revelation of the triune God to which the Bible and the Church attest, and he imparts the implications of this basis. "Revelation and Trinity" highlights the relationship that both Calvin and Barth find between the ontology of the living God in revelation and its noetic and conceptual possibility in faith.

Revitalizing the discussion on the theologies of Calvin and Barth and their relationship, Lee offers a critical assessment of the tenability of the oneness and the threeness of God in their theologies. "Revelation and Trinity" offers old and new insights into their theologies, and examines their relationship with a fresh discussion.

*AN ARCHITECTURAL AND SPIRITUAL LANDMARK FOR HUMANITY* This is the true story of a group of people who were "Guided From Beyond" and received over 160 transmissions from the Spiritual Hierarchy detailing architectural plans for a temple of transformation for the benefit of humanity. The revealing account of "The Templar, a Divine Edifice for the Coming Golden Age," expresses through sacred architecture the evolution of consciousness and it's purpose for coming into manifestation. As with the Knights Templar of old who provided safe passage for the spiritual pilgrims from the West to the holy land so will The Templar provide safe passage to all who aspire to spiritually connect to the wholeness of creation. "The Story of The Templar," with over 20 architectural drawings, documents the superhuman science expressed through it's architecture of sacred geometry and number. The ancient science of the initiates resides in The Templar's details of specific symbols, materials, and astronomical alignments. Within The Templar, the vibrational patterns of light, color and sound designed into each level rises in vibrational frequency. Through the architectural drawings of the exterior and four of the seven levels within The Templar, the reader is given the opportunity to visually connect and when possible to tune into the The Templar's vibrational resonance. This Divine Edifice, "The 12th Wonder of the World," gives a new vision for humanity. The compelling story of human participation with "masters" from the 7th dimension and higher reveals the triumphs and lessons leading to the spiritual teaching of group work for the future. The inspiring story of The Templar gives hope and direction to the many people around the world who spiritually aspire and work for "The Coming Golden Age" on Earth.
