This volume is dedicated by the author to two close friends, both deceased; one of its dominant themes is friendship and, related to it, remembrance and recognition. Simone Weil addresses elements of these criteria when, in her Attente de Dieu, she writes, S]i on revoit un tre tr s cher apr s une longue absence, les mots qu'on change avec lui n'impor-tent pas, mais seulement le son de sa voix qui nous assure de sa pr sence. 70] If after a long absence we see someone again - someone very dear - the words that are ex-changed with him do not matter. What matters is only the sound of his voice assuring us of his pre-sence. Perception, Remembrance, and Recognition. These provide Presence, the Presence, the healing Presence we so often need and so frequently lack. Friendship may be a "dying art," but it still remains a fundamental human need. If weak, may it be strengthened; if unknown, may it be experienced. If found, may it be deeply, deeply cherished and honored as one of the very greatest gifts we might ever receive.
These "Lines of Inquiry" mark the return of the author to verse after a lapse of 40+ years, during which time he served as a Greek Orthodox priest in four parishes across the U.S. His attempts to commit these inquiries to writing, and to frame them in something like a poetic form, are tentative utterances, meditations on life and death, expressions of a process begun at the age of 10 when his best friend died suddenly, also at the age of 10. Through the years, answers have varied. Questions have had a way of remaining the same.
This volume is intended to introduce university and seminary students and scholars to the neglected field of ritual studies, particularly within the larger context of biblical and theological studies. At the same time, the author hopes to further the discussion by interacting with numerous scholars in the field, providing an extensive bibliography of relevant works. Klingbeil defines the basic terms used in ritual studies and explains the concepts involved in interpreting biblical ritual. He offers a broad history of the study of biblical ritual, beginning with the critiques of ritual found in the Old Testament prophetic books and surveying attitudes toward ritual down to modern times. Drawing on the fields of anthropology and sociology, as well as his decade of work in the field, Klingbeil presents a comprehensive reading strategy for biblical ritual texts. In addition, he explores connections between ritual studies and theological research. This ground-breaking study promises to generate discussion about biblical ritual and provides an excellent introduction to this growing field of study for students and scholars.
The early stage investor's best friend. Many of today's high-net-worth investors are turning their attention to early-stage investing in emerging companies. They know just how successful and lucrative funding a start-up venture can be. Savvy angel investors can foresee distant but potentially huge returns from pre-IPO companies. There are scores of hungry entrepreneurs in search of capital and lots of money to be invested. But, matching the right entrepreneurs with wise investors, so that both can profit, is the challenge in new enterprises.Gerald Benjamin and Joel Margulis demonstrate that the real pitfall for potential investors is an incomplete understanding of the complexities of early-stage investing. At the same time, the angel capital market offers few mechanisms for bringing investors and entrepreneurs together, while securities regulations restrict communication between sophisticated investors and promising new businesses. So, where do the uninitiated start, and how do they separate the wheat from the chaff?
