Pan-Protestant Heroism in Early Modern Europe (Early Modern Literature in History)
by Kevin ChovanecThis book offers the first full study of the challenges posed to an emerging English nationalism that stemmed from the powerful appeal exerted by the leaders of the international Protestant cause. By considering a range of texts, including poetry, plays, pamphlets, and religious writing, the study reads this heroic tradition as a 'connected literary history,' a project shared by Protestants throughout Northern Europe, which opened up both collaboration among writers from these different regions and new possibilities for communal identification. The work’s central claim is that a pan-Protestant literary field existed in the period, which was multilingual, transnational, and ideologically charged. Celebrated leaders such as William of Orange posed a series of questions, especially for English Protestants, over the relationship between English and Protestant identity. In formulating their role as co-religionists, writers often undercut notions of alterity, rendering early modern conceptions of foreignness especially fluid and erasing national borders.
Panchali: पाञ्चाली
by Shachi Mishraद्रौपदी, नारी की सशक्त गाथा है। हज़ारों वर्षों से स्त्री, टुकड़ों-टुकड़ों में द्रौपदी को जी रही है... कहीं वह अपमान और लांछना सहती है, तो कहीं पुरुष के भीतर की ऊर्जा बनती है। कहीं त्याग से उसके उत्थान की सीढ़ी बनती है, तो कहीं पुरुष के अहं के आगे विवश हो जाती है। पाँच पुरुषों को वरण करने वाली द्रौपदी, अपने पतियों के कारण कुरु-सभा में अपमानित हुई, उसके उपरांत भी उसने 'वरदान' शब्द में लिपटी दया के माध्यम से उनको दासता से मुक्त करवाया और उनके अस्तित्व, स्वाभिमान और शक्ति की रक्षा के लिए ऊर्जा प्रदान करती वन-वन भटकती रही। पंच-पतियों के प्रति सेवा, भाव, निष्ठा और कर्तव्य-निर्वाह के कारण जहाँ एक ओर सती के आसन पर विराजमान हुई... वहीं पंच-पति वरण के कारण एक युग के पश्चात् भी व्यंग्य, विद्रुप का पात्र बनी रही। विचित्र है उसका जीवन; किन्तु विचित्रता और अंतर्विरोध के बीच वह सदैव विशिष्ट रही। कृष्ण उस युग-पुरुष के लिए किस कन्या के हृदय में आकर्षण नहीं रहा होगा... फिर कृष्णा कैसे अपवाद रहती। नियति ने भी तो नाम को माध्यम बना दिया था। कृष्णा और कृष्ण के अलौकिक प्रेम और सख्यभाव को कुरु-सभा में अपमान के साथ उद्धृत किया गया, किन्तु उस प्रीति का निर्वाह भी उसी सभा में ही हुआ। जब सारा लौकिक जगत् बहरा हो गया था, तब सैकड़ों कोस दूर, उसी अलौकिक प्रीति ने उसकी पुकार को सुना और उसके सम्मान की रक्षा की। सख्यभाव और निकट हृदय-संबंध का दूसरा उदाहरण इस लौकिक जगत् में अन्यत्र नहीं दिखाई देता है और यही प्रीति पाज्चाली के हृदय की ऊर्जा का स्रोत भी रही।
Panda: An Intimate Portrait Of One Of The World's Most Elusive Characters
by Heather AngelA photographic tribute to the panda, featuring details on their home, feeding behavior, mating habits, and survival in the face of human encroachment. With its large, friendly face and eyes exaggerated by black eye patches, China&’s national treasure, the giant panda, is instantly recognizable. Giant pandas spend most of their time trying to eat enough bamboo to survive. The rest is spent conserving energy, and solitary pandas can be seen strolling along, stopping to recline on riverside rocks or amongst ferns. The lower body-weight and physical size of panda cubs mean that they have more energy to spend, and are seen climbing trees, play-fighting, doing somersaults and playing with bamboo. Panda is a unique and intimate portrait of one of the world&’s best-loved animals. The extraordinary lives of the giant panda and the enchanting red panda are captured throughout the seasons in their remote mountain habitat. This selection of over two hundred remarkable pictures shows pandas feeding, resting, playing, climbing trees and even sliding down snowy slopes, as well as showcasing the misty peaks and snow-clad forests of the beautiful Sichuan Province of China. Panda is a heart-warming and illuminating tribute to an endangered species that is loved the world over.
The Panda's Black Box: Opening up the Intelligent Design Controversy
by Scott Gilbert Edward J. Larson Jane Maienschein Michael Ruse Robert M. YoungThe debate over Intelligent Design seemingly represents an extension of the fundamental conflict between creationists and evolutionists. ID proponents, drawing on texts such as Darwin's Black Box and Of Pandas and People, urge schools to "teach the controversy" in biology class alongside evolution. The scientific mainstream has reacted with fury, branding Intelligent Design as pseudoscience and its advocates as religious fanatics.But stridency misses the point, argues Nathaniel Comfort. In The Panda's Black Box, Comfort joins five other leading public intellectuals—including Daniel Kevles and Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Larson—to explain the roots of the controversy and explore the intellectual, social, and cultural factors that continue to shape it.One of the few books on the ID issue that moves beyond mere name-calling and finger-pointing, The Panda's Black Box challenges assumptions on each side of the debate and engages both the appeal and dangers of Intelligent Design. This lively collection will appeal to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what's really at stake in the debate over evolution.
Pandemic, Ecology and Theology: Perspectives on COVID-19 (Routledge Focus on Religion)
by Alexander J. B. HamptonAs the sequential stages of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic have unfolded, so have its complexities. What initially presented as a health emergency, has revealed itself to be a phenomenon of many facets. It has demonstrated human creativity, the oft neglected presence of nature, and the resilience of communities. Equally, it has exposed deep social inequities, conceptual inadequacies, and structural deficiencies about the way we organize our civilization and our knowledge. As the situation continues to advance, the question is whether the crisis will be grasped as an opportunity to address the deep structural, ecological and social challenges that we brought with us into the second decade of the new millennium. This volume addresses the collective sense that the pandemic is more than a problem to manage our way out of. Rather, it is a moment to consider our broken relationship with the natural world, and our alienation from a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. The contributors, though differing in their diagnoses and recommendations, share the belief that this moment, with its transformative possibility, not be forfeit. Equally, they share the conviction that the chief ground of any such reorientation ineluctably involves our collective engagement with both ecology and theology.
Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What is God Saying to Us?
by Erwin W. LutzerWhere is God When We Suffer?God&’s silence in the midst of human suffering is a great mystery of our existence. Faced with mass suffering, such as pandemics, plagues, and natural disasters, we may wonder whether God actually cares about us or whether He just says that He does. Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What is God Saying to Us? helps explain the role of God in suffering. Dr. Erwin Lutzer examines how God uses tragedies throughout the Bible to speak to His people, and that, ultimately, God always has our well-being in mind even when He doesn&’t relieve our immediate pain. Perhaps most importantly, find lasting joy and relief by learning how times of such widespread trouble reveal God&’s ultimate plans for our salvation from all temporary and eternal suffering.

Pandemie im Film: Religiöse und ästhetische Transformationen in der Populärkultur (pop.religion: lebensstil – kultur – theologie)
by Inge Kirsner Harald Schroeter-WittkeUntersucht wird die theologische und ästhetische Bearbeitung der Pandemien in dystopischen und Science-Fiction-Filmen sowie Serien. Zwischen Verschwörungstheorien, der Sicht als Strafe Gottes und der fatalistischen Annahme eines "notwenigen Übels" changieren die Erklärungsmodelle im Film wie auch in der gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit. Filme bieten dabei stellvertretend narrative Lösungsmodelle an. Die Katastrophe wird auf diese Weise dem beängstigenden Alltag für kurze Zeit enthoben, was eine der Reflexion zuträgliche Distanz ermöglicht. Exemplarisch wird ein sich wandelndes Rollen-, Gesellschafts- und Gottesbild aufgezeigt, das zu religionspädagogischen Reflexionen anregt.

Pandora's Box Opened: An Examination and Defense of Historical-Critical Method and Its Master Practitioners
by Roy A. HarrisvilleFor many, the historical-critical method has released a host of threats to Christian faith and confession. In Pandora's Box Opened, however, Roy Harrisville argues that despite the evils brought upon biblical interpretation by the historical-critical method, there is still hope for it as a discipline.Harrisville begins by describing the emergence and use of the historical-critical method. He then attends to the malaise that has come over the method, which he says still persists. Finally, Harrisville commends the historical-critical method, though shorn of its arrogance. He claims that the method and all its users comprise a "Pandora's Box" that, when opened, releases "a myriad other pains," but hope still remains.
Panentheism in Indian and Western Thought: Cosmopolitan Interventions (Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Religion)
by Benedikt Paul Göcke Swami MedhanandaFor too long, scholars interested in panentheism have focused almost exclusively on Western approaches to the issue. This book offers the first in-depth study of a wide range of Indian paradigms of panentheism, both ancient and modern, and brings these paradigms into creative and constructive dialogue with Western traditions. This volume features original essays written by leading international scholars. The volume discusses a broad range of Indian panentheistic traditions, including the Upaniṣads, Bhedābheda Vedānta, Rāmānuja’s Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta, Yogācāra Buddhism, and the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda tradition. The chapters connect these traditions with Western panentheistic conceptions developed by thinkers such as Spinoza, Berkeley, Schopenhauer, Krause, Royce, Tononi and Koch, and Western process philosophers. Panentheism in Indian and Western Thought will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of religion, Indian philosophy, comparative philosophy, and comparative religion.
Pannenberg on Evil, Love and God: The Realisation of Divine Love (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by Mark HocknullPannenberg on Evil, Love and God examines a much-neglected aspect of the theological thought of one of the most original contemporary German theologians, Wolfhart Pannenberg: his theological and philosophical understanding of evil and its relationship to the love of God. The book seeks to correct a widely held misconception that in his theology, Pannenberg has neglected the darker side of the world, concentrating instead on an optimistic picture of the future. This book argues that questions of evil hold a central place throughout Pannenberg’s writing and seeks to draw out the implications of his wrestling with these issues. The Introduction sets the scene by considering the nature of the question of evil and argues that a theological response must be made as part of a global view of the world and not in isolation from other themes. The succeeding chapters develop this theme through a reading of Pannenberg’s theology.
Panorama: A Novel
by H. G. Adler Peter Filkins Peter DemetzPublished for the first time in English, Panorama is a superb rediscovered novel of the Holocaust by a neglected modern master. One of a handful of death camp survivors to fictionalize his experiences in German, H. G. Adler is an essential author--referenced by W. G. Sebald in his classic novel Austerlitz, and a direct literary descendant of Kafka. When The Journey was discovered in a Harvard bookshop and translated by Peter Filkins, it began a major reassessment of the Prague-born H. G. Adler by literary critics and historians alike. Known for his monumental Theresienstadt 1941-1945, a day-by-day account of his experiences in the Nazi slave-labor community before he was sent to Auschwitz, Adler also wrote six novels. The very depiction of the Holocaust in fiction caused furious debate and delays in their publication. Now Panorama, his first novel, written in 1948, is finally available to convey the kinds of truths that only fiction can. A brilliant epic, Panorama is a portrait of a place and people soon to be destroyed, as seen through the eyes of young Josef Kramer. Told in ten distinct scenes, it begins in pastoral Word War I-era Bohemia, where the boy passively witnesses the "wonders of the world" in a thrilling panorama display; follows him to a German boarding school full of creeping xenophobia and prejudice; and finds him in young adulthood sent to a labor camp and then to one of the infamous extermination camps, before he chooses exile abroad after the war. Josef's philosophical journey mirrors the author's own: from a stoic acceptance of events to a realization that "the viewer is also the participant" and that action must be taken in life, if only to make sure the dead are not forgotten. Achieving a stream-of-consciousness power reminiscent of James Joyce and Gertrude Stein, H. G. Adler is a modern artist with unique historical importance. Panorama is lasting evidence of both the torment of his life and the triumph of his gifts.From the Hardcover edition.
Pantheism (Elements in the Philosophy of Religion)
by Andrei A. BuckareffThis Element focuses on some core conceptual and ontological issues related to pantheistic conceptions of God by engaging with recent work in analytic philosophy of religion on this topic. The conceptual and ontological commitments of pantheism are contrasted with those of other conceptions of God. The concept of God assumed by pantheism is clarified and the question about what type of unity the universe must exhibit in order to be identical with God receives the most attention. It is argued that the sort of unity the universe must display is the sort of unity characteristic of conscious cognitive systems. Some alternative ontological frameworks for grounding such cognitive unity are considered. Further, the question of whether God can be understood as personal on pantheism is explored.
Pantheism: A Non-Theistic Concept of Deity
by Michael P. LevineMichael P. Levine manages to disentangle the concept from Spinoza to present a broad philosophical and historical survey of pantheism. The book deals with definitions of pantheism and examines critical distinctions between them.
Pantheologies: Gods, Worlds, Monsters
by Mary-Jane RubensteinPantheism is the idea that God and the world are identical—that the creator, sustainer, destroyer, and transformer of all things is the universe itself. From a monotheistic perspective, this notion is irremediably heretical since it suggests divinity might be material, mutable, and multiple. Since the excommunication of Baruch Spinoza, Western thought has therefore demonized what it calls pantheism, accusing it of incoherence, absurdity, and—with striking regularity—monstrosity.In this book, Mary-Jane Rubenstein investigates this perennial repugnance through a conceptual genealogy of pantheisms. What makes pantheism “monstrous”—at once repellent and seductive—is that it scrambles the raced and gendered distinctions that Western philosophy and theology insist on drawing between activity and passivity, spirit and matter, animacy and inanimacy, and creator and created. By rejecting the fundamental difference between God and world, pantheism threatens all the other oppositions that stem from it: light versus darkness, male versus female, and humans versus every other organism. If the panic over pantheism has to do with a fear of crossed boundaries and demolished hierarchies, then the question becomes what a present-day pantheism might disrupt and what it might reconfigure. Cobbling together heterogeneous sources—medieval heresies, their pre- and anti-Socratic forebears, general relativity, quantum mechanics, nonlinear biologies, multiverse and indigenous cosmologies, ecofeminism, animal and vegetal studies, and new and old materialisms—Rubenstein assembles possible pluralist pantheisms. By mobilizing this monstrous mixture of unintentional God-worlds, Pantheologies gives an old heresy the chance to renew our thinking.

Pantheon: A New History of Roman Religion
by David M. Richardson Jörg RüpkeFrom one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, an innovative and comprehensive account of religion in the ancient Roman and Mediterranean worldIn this ambitious and authoritative book, Jörg Rüpke provides a comprehensive and strikingly original narrative history of ancient Roman and Mediterranean religion over more than a millennium—from the late Bronze Age through the Roman imperial period and up to late antiquity. While focused primarily on the city of Rome, Pantheon fully integrates the many religious traditions found in the Mediterranean world, including Judaism and Christianity. This generously illustrated book is also distinguished by its unique emphasis on lived religion, a perspective that stresses how individuals’ experiences and practices transform religion into something different from its official form. The result is a radically new picture of both Roman religion and a crucial period in Western religion—one that influenced Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and even the modern idea of religion itself. Drawing on a vast range of literary and archaeological evidence, Pantheon shows how Roman religion shaped and was shaped by its changing historical contexts from the ninth century BCE to the fourth century CE. Because religion was not a distinct sphere in the Roman world, the book treats religion as inseparable from political, social, economic, and cultural developments. The narrative emphasizes the diversity of Roman religion; offers a new view of central concepts such as “temple,” “altar,” and “votive”; reassesses the gendering of religious practices; and much more. Throughout, Pantheon draws on the insights of modern religious studies, but without “modernizing” ancient religion. With its unprecedented scope and innovative approach, Pantheon is an unparalleled account of ancient Roman and Mediterranean religion.
El papa Borgia: Un inédito Alejandro VI liberado al fin de la leyenda negra
by Lola Galán José Catalán DeusEn este libro se ofrece una visión inédita de un Papa-rey que despertó gigantescas envidias. Es momento de rescatar a Alejandro VI del sumidero de una historia casi siempre interesada. ¿Fue el papa Borgia un político competente o un embaucador corrupto? ¿Cuidó de la Iglesia o la usó para promocionar a su familia? ¿Fue un ser humano con sus defectos y virtudes al timón de una institución sumamente compleja o un malvado asesino? Durante siglos la respuesta ha estado clara para el común de los historiadores y novelistas, que han encontrado en la vida de Rodrigo Borja, valenciano de nacimiento y romano de adopción, elementos suficientes para construir un relato de terror, plagado de ambición, sexo y veneno. La realidad, sin embargo, es otra. Los datos históricos de que disponemos permiten reconstruir la biografía de este Papa que, libre de la leyenda, emerge como una figura de excepcionales cualidades. Vicecanciller vaticano durante tres décadas y pontífice católico durante diez años vitales para la Iglesia, aseguró la supervivencia de la institución a él encomendada gracias a sus grandes dotes políticas, diplomáticas y humanas. Tildado de lujurioso y homicida, Alejandro VI fue un hombre apasionado, carnal y tolerante, entregado a su familia y a la defensa de la Iglesia. Pocos personajes de la historia han sido tan calumniados como él por difamadores a sueldo de sus rivales políticos. La verdad es sorprendente y más apasionante que los tópicos.

Papa Francisco
by Marie DuhamelDesde el momento en que fue elegido para el papado, el papa Francisco ha captado la atención del mundo con su humildad, carisma y espíritu reformistaEsta biografía ilustrada única del primer Papa jesuita ofrece más de 250 fotografías e incluye 50 documentos de la vida de Francisco que se pueden extraer del libro. Escrita por la reportera de Radio Vaticano, Marie Duhamel, este retrato íntimo incluye la emigración de sus padres desde Italia, su nacimiento como Jorge Mario Bergoglio en 1936, su amor por el fútbol y la ópera cuando era niño, la neumonía que casi le costó la vida cuando era un adulto joven, su llamado al sacerdocio, y su primer encuentro con la pobreza cuando era misionero en Chile que cambió su vida. Duhamel hace una crónica del ascenso de Francisco de sacerdote a obispo, de cardenal al papado, y cómo, a lo largo del camino, impresionó a muchas personas, y alejó a algunas, con su valentía para hacer frente a la autoridad y su dedicación a ayudar a los pobres. Los documentos adjuntos, como su certificado de bautismo, fotografías de su niñez, páginas de un cuaderno escolar, notas manuscritas como Papa, e incluso una tarjeta de seguidor de su querido club de fútbol del San Lorenzo, ilustran más aún su vida y crean un recuerdo duradero de este Papa para el pueblo.---From the moment he was elected into the papacy, Pope Francis has captured the attention of the world with his humility, charisma, and reformist spirit. This one-of-a-kind, illustrated biography of the first Jesuit pope offers more than 250 photographs and 50 documents from Francis's life. Written by Vatican Radio reporter Marie Duhamel, this intimate portrait includes his parents emigration from Italy, his birth as Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936, his love of soccer and opera as a child, the pneumonia that nearly cost him his life as a young adult, his calling to the priesthood, and his first encounter with poverty as a missionary in Chile that would change his life. Duhamel chronicles Francis's rise from priest to bishop to cardinal to the papacy and how, along the way, he impressed many people-and alienated some-with his courage to stand up to authority and his dedication to helping the poor. Enclosed documents such as his baptism certificate, photographs from his childhood, pages from a school notebook, handwritten notes as pope, and even a support card for his beloved San Lorenzosoccer club, further illuminate his life and create a lasting keepsake of this pope of the people.
