In this concise study, John Perry enables the reader to see that the Transfiguration story does not recount an actual event, but was created to teach an important "symbolic" lesson abou thte Risen Jesus. To that end, he explains: (1) the conflict within the early church that called the story into being; (2) the nature ofmidrash and the role that it played in the formation of the story. Perry then considers why Mark, the writer of the first Gospel, decided to modify the Transfiguration story known to him and use it in his Gospel. Finally, answers are provided for 12 questiosn frequently prompted by contemporary readings of this story. These answers shed considerable light on the way the early church went about the task of preserving and interpreting the sacred history of Jesus.
InExploring the Resurrection of Jesus, John Perry defends the appearances of the Risen Jesus as real but "nonphyscial" and he reconciles this reading with a scientific world view.
Exploring the Evolution of the Lord's Supper in the New Testament
John Michael Perry
Sheed Ward,U.S.
1994
nidottu
Tradition has assumed that the Lord's Supper was "instituted" by Jesus on the night of Holy Thursday as a memorial of his impending death on Good Friday. Recent scholarship tells us, however, that this assumption must be carefully qualified. The way in which Jesus taught the church to celebrate his Supper was actually far more complex. This investigation reveals that the earliest celebrations of the Lord's Supper were memorials of Jesus' Resurrection, not his death. Only later, because of an urgent pastoral problem, did the early church decide to join the memory of Jesus' death to her original celebration of his Resurrection. In the final chapter, Perry answers specific questions raised by the contemporary understanding of the Lord's Supper.
In Exploring the Messianic Secret in Mark's Gospel, John Perry shows the reader how to distinguish between the actual history of Jesus and Mark's Messianic Secret theology, explaining why the substance of Mark's theology is still valid and can still nourish our contemporary faith.

ABOUT BOOK TWO: THE BLOOD ROSE OF PANADOR What if the one who would be the greatest aid to you was someone you didn't even know? A battle won, but a war that only continues. Yet, the quiet that follows the monumental battle of The Miracle of Mirador, is but a ruse. The Dark is still working, as it always will, in shadows, in secret, even in isolation, to bring to pass its bloody purpose -- annihilation of the Light. Daniel, The Miracle of Mirador, is again instrumental in the plan to defeat the Dark, but he is also their principal target. As he grows and learns and comes into his powers, those that aid him will soon prosper. Those who oppose him will not. Adventure and intrigue continue to build as Daniel -- this boy prophet, their protector, their guardian -- leads his people in sometimes fearsome might and with uncanny perception as he battles the powers of Darkness that threaten to engulf them all. ABOUT THE SERIES: DANIEL LIGHT AND THE CHILDREN OF THE ORB A long time ago on a planet far away there lived The Race of Enchanters, beings of Light. As is ever the situation when Light is present, so, also, is Darkness. These Sorcerors, close kin to the Enchanters, seek to influence and destroy all that had been protected and created by the Light. Other magical beings and creatures inhabit these realms and are torn and divided by this constant battle between Light and Dark; events and prophecies are ignored by the Light, The Dark, and the neutral; allegiances change and shift; power over all being the end result, for some. Then comes word of The Prophecy of Light: a being to come in the median of time to lead the Forces of Light to victory. Thus the stage is set for Daniel Light and the Children of the Orb. STORY NOTES: The story of Snow White and Rose Red (Brothers Grimm) loosely provides a basic framework on which to hang this re-imagined tale about The Children Of The Orb, which also alludes to the origin of the stories we know and love on Planet Earth as having possibly come from beyond our own Earthly experience.

WEMBLEY TEWKES ON THE EDGES OF TIME: IMPERFECTIONS ON THE EDGE Book One Did you ever have a recurring dream only to wake up one day and find it was NOT a dream? Wembley Tewkes was born 14. At least to those around him, In Yarmouth, Maine, it had always seemed like he could do everything he did now. He raised lambs that won the 4H every year. He was good in all his schoolwork, especially history. He was an Eagle Scout, volunteered at the library one day each week after school, was a championship swimmer, and a crackerjack tennis player. Wembley could do anything he set his mind to... ... except talk to girls. He had known Brindi Williams since they were little. They grew up playing together, and then came - awkwardness. It just happened; he began acting strange around her. Wembley, strange? Well, he thought so. His friendship seemed to want to demand more from her, and it flummoxed him. Then there were these wild and crazy dreams he was having: travels through time and space that changed and shifted rapidly. They had started up within the last year. That's when he met, well, we will call her, Evie. He was really uncomfortable around her. She knew things about him no stranger should, and then there was that... Magic stuff. Now that I've told you all about him, you probably won't want to read the book, "Imperfections On the Edge," book 1 of the "Wembley Tewkes On The Edges Of Time" series. But come to think of it, there's a lot you don't know about Wembley Tewkes; lots of things that Wembley doesn't even know about himself. From LEICESTER BAY BOOKS ABOUT THE SERIES: Isn't adolescence difficult enough to navigate through without being taken to other realities at the drop of a thought...or on someone else's whim? The three books in the series are about that time of uncomfortability: Adolescence. How can anyone really be comfortable during adolescence? That time of feeling awkward and out of place comes to all of us. What are the most embarrassing, unnerving and difficult things for a teen to face? Everything that Wembley faces Wembley Tewkes is abnormal in his relatively comfortable life as a confident adolescent, but his world is about to be shaken back down to normal. All of the 'normal' things that happen during this time to make anyone uncomfortable will be exaggerated and compounded by the freaky, eerie, unsettling and just plain weird experiences that Wembley will go through. Every effort will be made, by whatever unseen or ancient powers, to take Wembley out of his norm -- his comfort zone -- in fantastic ways. Magic, time-travel, runes and scrolls, prophecies and predictions, swords, sorcery, love and deception will haunt the life of Wembley Tewkes as he is exposed to his hidden destiny, and is compelled to enter into it and live it to the best of his abilities. He has an unrevealed mission to fulfill; a destiny to align himself with in order to become the greatest individual he can become. He will leave everything that is loved by him and comfortable to him behind him as he lives this new life.

ABOUT BOOK FIVE: Daniel Light and the EXILE OF ARADON What if the person you came to care for most was the only one who stood between you and what you wanted most? The conquest for the eradication of the Dark has been taken up by the second generation. Daniel's children, and the children of his associates are now embroiled in the great quest to rid the Realms of the Darkness. Daniel's eighteen-year-old daughter, Caelith, is on a quest: to distance herself from the ways of her father. On this quest she meets an outcast, a slightly younger man near her own age, who is magically prevented from going home. Together they form a union and Caelith is slowly turned back to the life, and politics and cause of her father, Daniel Gregoryson: The Prophecy. And also to securing the return of her companion, Evermon, to his homeland. But not before she is called upon to endure the trials that the Dark has in store for her friend and herself. A Kingdom in peril would fall to the youngest of three brothers, as the older Princes are off on quests of their own. The new Queen, the King's second wife, has other plans; promoting the rise of her own, foreign-born son to the Kingship. Unknown to the Queen, the Queen she replaced is being sought for secretly; as is the true identity of the new Queen. There is something not quite right about her. The Princess of Mirador, Daniel's daughter, self-exiled, seeks freedom from her impending royal responsibilities - for she is to be Queen there. Will it be exile for one Prince of Aradon, or will all three face replacement and banishment by an insanely jealous Queen?

The Western Concept of Individualism and Its Impact on the Ghanaian Society A Social Philosophical Perspective

sidottu
Exploring the Western Concept of "Individualism" as a Social-Philosophical thought system, this book ventures to reveal how this thought system has and continues to influence the individual in the Ghanaian society today, with special attention to the social, political, economic, and religious milieu.The 'individual', is here conceived as a single human being distinct from a group, a class, or family. The book concentrates on the impact of individualism on society and makes a poignant case for the welfare of the individual within society in so far as socio-political and religio-economic dimensions of life are concerned.Beginning with a dialectical development of the concept of the individual from late antiquity through to the period after the Enlightenment, the book seeks to empower the individual through both Western and Ghanaian concepts and particularly employs the historical narrative method.The individual is alerted of the real and possible crises of identity and is empowered to rise above the existing inconsistencies and to achieve an integral personality.
An Enchanted April...a musical
Elizabeth Hansen; C Michael Perry
Independently Published
2019
pokkari
In just one short Enchanted April, the lives and hearts of four women are transfigured by wisteria, sunshine, a medieval castle...and each other.In this delightfully romantic musical, the power to change, or not to change, is presented on stage through song and scene in a way that all who experience it have been renewed and uplifted by it. London...a particularly dreary February in 1922. Four women long to leave their drab and tedious lives for the sun-soaked hills of Italy. Lotty and Rose are desperate to escape their stifling duties and distant husbands; Mrs. Fisher, a formidable and disapproving woman, wants only to sit in the sun to read and remember her receding youth; and Lady Caroline Dester longs for a place she can ponder the existential questions facing her without the distraction of adding suitors or overbearing parents. They dare to rent San Salvatore, a medieval castle awash with the scent of flowers and warmed by the sun, for a month of blissful privacy. Yet, amid the blossoms of fragrant wisteria, hazy heat and sensuous silence, each one will be transformed.Sometimes what seems impossible...isn't.
