Book Description

Ivan Ilych Polensky, a young Ukrainian farmer, experiences a life-changing event that brings his world crashing down, and propels him into a race against time and forces of evil. At first, Ivan's newfound spiritual clarity clashes with the chaos that surrounds him. He suffers rejection from friends, family, even his childhood love, the beautiful equestrian Katrina. Ivan's struggle is both heartbreaking and joyous as he comes to understand his recent transformation, and exchanged life. Branded an international terrorist by the newly anointed General Gog, Ivan encounters world views representing the spectrum of human emotion and impulse, from secular to sacred. Trans Figuring Ivan takes the reader from earth to heaven and hell and back, from bitter cold of the Ukraine to the dangerous waters of the Mediterranean and the dusty, cutthroat deserts of the Middle East. Ivan's humble spirit and poetic optimism throughout his perilous quest in the days leading up to the Rapture inspire and empower, making his victory our victory. R. Ty Epling is an evangelist who loves sharing the Bible with anyone who will listen and discuss its riches. He was born in Crab Orchard, West Virginia February 6, 1941. Ty served in the United States Navy and traveled through the Mediterranean countries. He is a graduate of West Virginia University and holds a Bible Certificate from Appalachian Bible College. Brother Ty, as he is affectionately called by those that know him, has served as witness, teacher, counselor, and preacher for decades in several states. He resides in Titusville, Florida near his son Grant H. Epling, his daughter Jeannette Epling Arn, grandchildren Danielle, Emma, and Benjamin Arn.

Book Description

This book demonstrates Eugene O’Neill’s use of philosophy in the early period of his work and provides analyses of selected works from that era, concluding with The Hairy Ape, completed in 1921, as an illustration of the mastery he had achieved in dramatizing key concepts of philosophy. Analyses of one-act and full-length plays from 1913 to 1921 reveal the influence of the three philosophers and establish that O’Neill was fundamentally a philosophic playwright, even from his earliest dramatic sketches. Specific concepts from Schopenhauer, Stirner, and Nietzsche went into O’Neill’s shaping of character arcs, dramatic circumstances, symbology, and theme. Among them are Schopenhauer’s concept of will and representation, Stirner’s notion of possession, and Nietzsche’s principle of the Apollonian–Dionysian duality. These ideas were foundational to O’Neill’s construction of tragic irony apparent in his early period plays. The critical concepts of these three philosophers are the major pathways in this study. However, such an approach inevitably reveals other layers of spiritual influence, such as Catholicism and Eastern philosophy, which are touched on in these analyses. This book is a much-needed introduction to philosophic concepts in Eugene O’Neill’s early work and would be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre studies and philosophy.

Book Description

Figuring Jerusalem explores how Hebrew writers have imagined Jerusalem, both from the distance of exile and from within its sacred walls. For two thousand years, Hebrew writers used their exile from the Holy Land as a license for invention. The question at the heart of Figuring Jerusalem is this: how did these writers bring their imagination “home” in the Zionist century? Sidra DeKoven Ezrahi finds that the same diasporic conventions that Hebrew writers practiced in exile were maintained throughout the first half of the twentieth century. And even after 1948, when the state of Israel was founded but East Jerusalem and its holy sites remained under Arab control, Jerusalem continued to figure in the Hebrew imagination as mediated space. It was only in the aftermath of the Six Day War that the temptations and dilemmas of proximity to the sacred would become acute in every area of Hebrew politics and culture. Figuring Jerusalem ranges from classical texts, biblical and medieval, to the post-1967 writings of S. Y. Agnon and Yehuda Amichai. Ultimately, DeKoven Ezrahi shows that the wisdom Jews acquired through two thousand years of exile, as inscribed in their literary imagination, must be rediscovered if the diverse inhabitants of Jerusalem are to coexist.
