The Battle For God. The username or password you entered is incorrect. By Peter Pomerantsev. In The Battle for God , Karen Armstrong brilliantly and sympathetically shows us how and why fundamentalist groups came into existence and what they yearn to accomplish.

Britain's greatest religious historian chronicles the rise and rise of fundamentalism. Also by Karen Armstrong. Armstrong sensitively recognizes one of fundamentalism's great ironies: though they ostensibly seek to restore a displaced, mythical spiritual foundation, fundamentalists often re-establish that foundation using profoundly secular, pseudo-scientific means "creation science" is a prime example. In the late twentieth century, fundamentalism has emerged as one of the most powerful forces at work in the world, contesting the dominance of modern secular values and threatening peace and harmony around the globe.

Every detail has solid historical testimony to support it.”–New York Review of BooksAfter Alexander’s death in 323 B.C .his only direct heirs were two unborn sons and a simpleton half-brother. Every long-simmering faction exploded into the vacuum of power. Wives, distant relatives, and generals all vied for the loyalty of the increasingly undisciplined Macedonian army. Most failed and were killed in the attempt. For no one possessed the leadership to keep the great empire from crumbling. But Alexander’s legend endured to spread into worlds he had seen only in dreams. Mary Renault wrote numerous historical novels set in the ancient Greek world. She meticulously researched her subjects, and her novels are credited for being historically accurate. The interactions of her characters are highly plausible, with dialogue that rings authentic. Her first novel was The Last of the Wine, written in 1956, and set during the Peloponnesian Wars. Her trilogy was written over a period that spanned the `70s. Ive read and reviewed the first two volumes, Fire from Heaven, written in 1969, and The Persian Boy, written in 1972.

  • Comparative Literary Studies Program Course Descriptions 2013-2014
    Comparative Literary Studies Program Course Descriptions 2013-2014 Fall 2013 CLS 206: Literature and Media: LaByrinths Lectures: TTh 11:00-12:20, Fisk B17 Instructor: Domietta Torlasco Expected Enrollment: Course Description: This course will trace a brief history of labyrinths through literature, architecture, cinema, and new media. From classical mythology to cutting-edge computer games, the figure of the labyrinth has shaped the way in which we ask crucial questions about space, time, perception, and technology. Whether an actual maze or a book or a film, the labyrinth presents us with an entanglement of lines and pathways that is as demanding as it is engrossing and even exhilarating. As we move from medium to medium, or pause in between media, the labyrinth will in turn emerge as an archetypal image, a concrete pattern, a narrative structure, a figure of thought, a mode of experience....Among the works which we will analyze are Jorge Luis Borges' celebrated short stories, Italo Calvino's experiments in detective fiction, Mark Z. Danielewski' hyper- textual novelHouse of Leaves, films such as Orson Welles' Citizen Kane (1941), Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980), and Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010), and the more intellectually adventurous video games. Evaluation Method: 1. Attendance and participation to lectures AND discussion sessions (25% of the final grade). Please note that more than three absences will automatically reduce your final grade. 2. Two short response papers (15%). 3. Mid-term exam (25%). 4. Final 5-6 page paper (35%). CLS 211 / ENG 211:Topics in Genre: Intro to Poetry Lectures: MW 11:00-11:50, Harris 107 Discussion Sections: F 11:00, 1:00 Instructor: Susannah Gottlieb Expected Enrollment: 100 Course Description: The experience of poetry can be understood in it at least two radically different ways: as a raw encounter with something unfamiliar or as a methodically constructed mode of access to the unknown.

Oz achieves what most Israelis, including myself, struggle with. On the one hand, he shares with his readers his Jewish family’s persecution in the Eastern European Diaspora followed by an insider’s, sympathetic description of the Zionist project of rebuilding the ancient homeland. On the other hand, he deeply feels the pain of those others whom, as an Israeli Jew, I can see are still reeling from our return. Oz creates a narrative space that acknowledges Jew- ish presence without needing to simultaneously preclude Arab claims (all the while focusing on his family and his people).

  • A Tribute to Amos Oz Z”L Parashat Va'era January 5, 2019; 28 Tevet
    A Tribute to Amos Oz z”l Parashat Va’era January 5, 2019; 28 Tevet 5779 Rabbi Adam J. Raskin, Congregation Har Shalom I am completely intimidated by the thought of sitting down to a cup of Turkish coffee and conversation with Amos Oz. While I have such profound respect and admiration for Israel’s towering author-laureate who died just this past Friday, there is something about him that sort-of terrifies me. First of all, Amos Oz was a Hebrew language elitist…He once announced in a public discussion with British Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks that “there is no difference between the castration of the Hebrew language by the Orthodox, the Reform, or the Conservative movement. They represent a unified front.” Oz felt that Hebrew was the one and only common denominator among Jews from all over the world, and all different religious and cultural pursuasions. And he was deeply dismayed by the relatively poor quality of the Hebrew language, even as spoken today in the modern State of Israel. I am sure that he would not approve of my conversational but less than fluent Hebrew. Oz was also an ardent secular Jew. He rejected ideas of promised land, or messianism, or destiny, or mission, or miracle. He once said about his fellow Israelis: “We are six and a half million citizens, six and a half million prime ministers, six and a half million prophets, six and a half million Messiahs, and everyone shouts at the same time and no one listens. Only I sometimes listen, [and] that is how I make a living.” So why am I mourning for a high-brow Hebraist who rejected the fundamental tenets of my faith, who once declared “I cannot use such words as ‘the promised land’ or the ‘promised borders’ because I do not believe in the one who made the promise?” Why do I feel that the State of Israel and the Jewish people have suffered a profound loss with the death of Amos Oz? Well, let me tell you… Amos Klausner was born in Jerusalem, 9 years before David Ben Gurion declared the establishment of the State of Israel.
