A History Of The Bible Bok
<p>This book tells the story of the Bible, how it came to be constructed and how it has been understood, from its remote beginnings down to the present. It describes how the disparate writings which comprise the Bible were written and when, as well as what we know - and what we cannot know - about their authors and what they might have meant. Incisive readings shed new light on even the most familiar passages, exposing not only the sources and traditions behind them, but also the busy hands of the scribes and editors who assembled and reshaped them. Rather than the fixed, coherent text it is often perceived to be, the Bible is revealed to be the result of a long and intriguing evolution. Tracing its dissemination, translation and interpretation in Judaism and Christianity from Antiquity to the rise of modern biblical scholarship, Barton shows how meaning has both been drawn from the Bible and imposed upon it. Part of the book's originality is to illuminate the gap between religion and scripture, the ways in which neither maps exactly onto the other, and how religious thinkers from Augustine to Luther and Spinoza have reckoned with this. A landmark in its field, A History of the Bible makes us rethink the central book of Western culture and the foundation of two world religions.</p>

Tragedy, The Greeks, And Us Bok
<p>From the moderator of The New York Times philosophy blog The Stone, a book that argues that if we want to understand ourselves we have to go back to theater, to the stage of our lives Tragedy presents a world of conflict and troubling emotion, a world where private and public lives collide and collapse. A world where morality is ambiguous and the powerful humiliate and destroy the powerless. A world where justice always seems to be on both sides of a conflict and sugarcoated words serve as cover for clandestine operations of violence. A world rather like our own. The ancient Greeks hold a mirror up to us, in which we see all the desolation and delusion of our lives but also the terrifying beauty and intensity of existence. This is not a time for consolation prizes and the fatuous banalities of the self-help industry and pop philosophy. Tragedy allows us to glimpse, in its harsh and unforgiving glare, the burning core of our aliveness. If we give ourselves the chance to look at tragedy, we might see further and more clearly.</p>

Taoist Inner Alchemy Bok
<p><b>A fascinating guide to the mental, physical, and esoteric spiritual transformative Taoist practices designed to increase longevity and unity with the world-with commentary and interpretation on the traditional text by a contemporary academic and meditation practitioner.</b></p><p>In clear and engaging language, Taoist Inner Alchemy shows us that alchemy is not something one does, but a process that unfolds when one "does nothing"-meaning abiding in one's basic, primordial state. It teaches the entire process of Taoist inner alchemy cultivation through meditation practices and includes authentic explanations of fundamental theories and methods needed to actually start walking the path. Historically, Taoist teachers borrowed complex terminology from astrology, numerology, and metallurgical alchemy to describe the process of individual transformation that occurs as a result of long-term meditation practice. While that classical terminology may seem arcane, it actually beautifully represents Taoism's straightforward philosophy; in the words of Lao-tzu, "the Great Tao is ultimate simplicity." </p><p>This thoughtful guide demystifies that classical terminology, illuminating Taoism's straightforward philosophy. Ge Guolong's vivid explanations of Huang Yuanji's discourses-a Taoist master from the Qing Dynasty (1636-1912)-will surprise readers with their clarity, practicality, and close relationship to the philosophy of such works as the Tao Te Ching and Chuang-tzu. Huang's teachings synthesize Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, and readers will appreciate this book as an excellent entry point to Taoist philosophy and meditation practice.</p>
