THE SEVEN FALLS OF SATAN


Book Description

THE SEVEN FALLS OF SATAN is a detailed Biblical analysis of the Bible's revelation of this being. That he is a created being is clearly shown. His talents, bodily attributes, as well as thought processes were powerful tools at his disposal when used for good. First called Lucifer, Holy Writ is unambiguous with respect to the violence he committed in Heaven. God addresses him with a pre-sentence summation which concludes with a pronouncement of Lucifer's inaccessibility to previously accessible places in Heaven. Almighty God renames Lucifer, before he is cast out and down into the spheres of darkness in the spirit realm. Now called Satan, he sets up a kingdom which is deleterious to the Lord God's creation, including humanity. As an opposer of God and those belonging to God, he utilizes deceit, cunning and violence with reckless abandon. That this Destroyer and his Fallen Angels, will be cast down in defeat to dwell among humanity on earth, before proceeding to their ultimate destiny and final fall in the Lake of Fire with Brimstone, is a sobering Biblical fact stated without contradiction or equivocation. All these factors and more are examined in this book. Including the Most High God provision and solution, enabling those who trust Him by faith and faith alone, to emerge victorious from this war between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of Heaven, also called the Kingdom of God.

The Oxford Handbook of Tudor Drama


Book Description

The Oxford Handbook to Tudor Drama is the authoritative secondary text on Tudor drama. It both integrates recent important research across different disciplines and periods and sets a new agenda for the future study of Tudor drama, questioning a number of the central assumptions of previous studies. Balancing the interests and concerns of scholars in theatre history, drama, and literary studies, its scope reflects the broad reach of Tudor drama as a subject, inviting readers to see the Tudor century as a whole, rather than made up of artificial and misleading divisions between 'medieval' and 'renaissance', religious and secular, pre- and post-Shakespeare. The contributors, both the established leaders in their fields and the brightest young scholars, attend to the contexts, intellectual, theatrical and historical within which drama was written, produced and staged in this period, and ask us to consider afresh this most vital and complex of periods in theatre history. The book is divided into four sections: Religious Drama; Interludes and Comedies, Entertainments, Masques, and Royal Entries; and Histories and political dramas.







Reading Old English Biblical Poetry


Book Description

Reading Old English Biblical Poetry considers the Junius 11 manuscript, the only surviving illustrated book of Old English poetry, in terms of its earliest readers and their multiple strategies of reading and making meaning. Junius 11 begins with the creation story and ends with the final vanquishing of Satan by Jesus. The manuscript is both a continuous whole and a collection with discontinuities and functionally independent pieces. The chapters of Reading Old English Biblical Poetry propose multiple models for reader engagement with the texts in this manuscript, including selective and sequential reading, reading in juxtaposition, and reading in contexts within and outside of the pages of Junius 11. The study is framed by particular attention to the materiality of the manuscript and how that might have informed its early reception, and it broadens considerations of reading beyond those of the manuscript's compiler and possible patron. As a book, Junius 11 reflects a rich and varied culture of reading that existed in and beyond houses of God in England in the tenth and eleventh centuries, and it points to readers who had enough experience to select and find wisdom, narrative pleasure, and a diversity of other things within this or any book's contents.

The Prodigal Son


Book Description

“And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.” The Bible, Luke Verses 20-32 In the poignant biblical story from Luke 15:20-24, a wayward son returns, expecting judgment but is met with a father's unwavering love and celebration. Drawing inspiration from this tale of redemption, our narrative presents a modern spin on "Paradise Lost." While Milton's classic delves deep into understanding God's nature, this rendition strives to unravel the complexities of the Devil. Dive into a tale where boundaries blur, perceptions shift, and redemption might just be within grasp, even for the darkest of entities.
