A Little Door to the Dark

A Little Door to the Dark

Matthew J. McKee

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Whilst roaming about the archipelago of Japan, the casual traveler will stumble upon ancient Shinto shrines. Most have a large gate you must pass through to reach the inner sanctum. And on rare occasion, a mirror will be placed between the upper and middle beams of the gate. This is a sacred mirror, often used as a votive vessel for the divine god of the shrine, because... it cannot lie.The mirror is pure, and everything reflected in it, the indisputable truth. So, if you ever happen to stop and look into a Shinto shrine's mirror, know, the god is looking back at you, into your soul.Drawn from the nature of Japan and the nature of a sleepers mind, the poems in A Little Door to the Dark invite the reader to revel in the sun with the birds and coffee starved travelers, and dance through the night with the monsters and world curious ghosts. Introspective, retrospective, and keenly aware of the awkward slant words can take when you turn them upon themselves, McKee asks his readers to consider what the world would look like if you slipped and fell through a midnight mirror; an invitation to a world where everything is what it truly is, the shadow-self brought into the dark where it cannot hide.A tone darker, a shade clearer, and a step askew: A Little Door to the Dark collects in words the stories waiting to be told lying in wait all about us, and the musings of a man who has too many selves to talk to about them. Earnest in its questioning of life, charmingly strange, strangely haunting, and endearingly quirky; this book is a reflection, a window into another person's life and soul. But as any young child will tell you, all windows also make wonderful doors.Future rave reviews for A Little Door to the Dark: Grandmother: "I will gush over every word. If you allow me, I will talk for hours about its genius."Grandfather: "Yeah. I read a bit. Liked it."Brother: "It was good, yeah. It was good, but..."Father: "Still working my way through it."Mother: 'Dead But blowing on the winds full blast with all the moral support I can muster from the afterlife '

Working together, the three witches circumvent the talisman and Marta curses the evildoers to hell.

Since he is seemingly indestructible, the witches have no other options but to try to fix him.One of the pastor's flock, Sheriff Bourne, was conflicted in his part in capturing Marta as he realizes he feels more for her than he thinks he should. Caught up in a past that is quickly catching up to him, he works to bring a former friend and partner in crime to justice while also trying to protect the witches. As their quest to heal the skeleton progresses, Marta suspects the pastor isn't everything he claims to be as she deals with her emerging and unwelcome desire for the sheriff. While she tries to unravel the flaming curse, Marta must decide which is more dangerous to her way of life-the preacher or her newfound feelings for Sheriff Bourne.

Gender, Manumission, and the Roman Freedwoman

Gender, Manumission, and the Roman Freedwoman

Matthew J. Perry

Cambridge University Press
2013
sidottu
Gender, Manumission, and the Roman Freedwoman examines the distinct problem posed by the manumission of female slaves in ancient Rome. The sexual identities of a female slave and a female citizen were fundamentally incompatible, as the former was principally defined by her sexual availability and the latter by her sexual integrity. Accordingly, those evaluating the manumission process needed to reconcile a woman's experiences as a slave with the expectations and moral rigor required of the female citizen. The figure of the freedwoman - fictionalized and real - provides an extraordinary lens into the matter of how Romans understood, debated, and experienced the sheer magnitude of the transition from slave to citizen, the various social factors that impinged upon this process, and the community stakes in the institution of manumission.

Buddhism, Politics and Political Thought in Myanmar

Buddhism, Politics and Political Thought in Myanmar

Matthew J. Walton

Cambridge University Press
2016
sidottu
This is the first book to provide a broad overview of the ways in which Buddhist ideas have influenced political thinking and politics in Myanmar. Matthew J. Walton draws extensively on Burmese language sources from the last 150 years to describe the 'moral universe' of contemporary Theravada Buddhism that has anchored most political thought in Myanmar. In explaining multiple Burmese understandings of notions such as 'democracy' and 'political participation', the book provides readers with a conceptual framework for understanding some of the key dynamics of Myanmar's ongoing political transition. Some of these ideas help to shed light on restrictive or exclusionary political impulses, such as anti-Muslim Buddhist nationalism or scepticism towards the ability of the masses to participate in politics. Walton provides an analytical framework for understanding Buddhist influences on politics that will be accessible to a wide range of readers and will generate future research and debate.

Calvin's Political Theology and the Public Engagement of the Church

Calvin's Political Theology and the Public Engagement of the Church

Matthew J. Tuininga

Cambridge University Press
2017
sidottu
In Calvin's Political Theology and the Public Engagement of the Church, Matthew J. Tuininga explores a little appreciated dimension of John Calvin's political thought, his two kingdoms theology, as a model for constructive Christian participation in liberal society. Widely misunderstood as a proto-political culture warrior, due in part to his often misinterpreted role in controversies over predestination and the heretic Servetus, Calvin articulated a thoughtful approach to public life rooted in his understanding of the gospel and its teaching concerning the kingdom of God. He staked his ministry in Geneva on his commitment to keeping the church distinct from the state, abandoning simplistic approaches that placed one above the other, while rejecting the temptations of sectarianism or separatism. This revealing analysis of Calvin's vision offers timely guidance for Christians seeking a mode of faithful, respectful public engagement in democratic, pluralistic communities today.

Spinoza on Human Freedom

Spinoza on Human Freedom

Matthew J. Kisner

Cambridge University Press
2013
pokkari
Spinoza was one of the most influential figures of the Enlightenment, but his often obscure metaphysics makes it difficult to understand the ultimate message of his philosophy. Although he regarded freedom as the fundamental goal of his ethics and politics, his theory of freedom has not received sustained, comprehensive treatment. Spinoza holds that we attain freedom by governing ourselves according to practical principles, which express many of our deepest moral commitments. Matthew J. Kisner focuses on this theory and presents an alternative picture of the ethical project driving Spinoza's philosophical system. His study of the neglected practical philosophy provides an accessible and concrete picture of what it means to live as Spinoza's ethics envisioned.

Portraying Violence in the Hebrew Bible

Portraying Violence in the Hebrew Bible

Matthew J. Lynch

Cambridge University Press
2020
sidottu
Most studies on violence in the Hebrew Bible focus on the question of how modern readers should approach the problem. But they fail to ask how the Hebrew Bible thinks about that problem in the first place. In this work, Matthew J. Lynch examines four key ways that writers of the Hebrew Bible conceptualize and critique acts of violence: violence as an ecological problem; violence as a moral problem; violence as a judicial problem; violence as a purity problem. These four 'grammars of violence' help us interpret crucial biblical texts where violence plays a lead role, like Genesis 4-9. Lynch's volume also offers readers ways to examine cultural continuity and the distinctiveness of biblical conceptions of violence.
