The triumph of the cross

Girolamo Savonarola

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Triumph of the Cross," Girolamo Savonarola articulates a profound theological and moral treatise that reflects his fervent belief in the salvific power of Christ through the cross. Written during a time of intense political and ecclesiastical turmoil in Renaissance Florence, the text is distinguished by its impassioned rhetoric and prophetic fervor. Savonarola employs a mix of scriptural exegesis and personal conviction, urging readers to reject earthly pleasures and embrace a pious life centered on Christ's suffering, thereby positioning the cross as the ultimate symbol of redemption and truth amidst moral decline. Girolamo Savonarola was a Dominican friar and reformer, whose austere vision of Christianity led him to challenge the corruption of the church and the hedonism prevalent in society. His vociferous denunciations of the vices of Florence culminated in a call for spiritual renewal, which deeply influenced his writings. Savonarola's life, marked by a zealous commitment to reform and ultimately martyrdom, provides a compelling backdrop to his fervent entreaties in"The Triumph of the Cross. Readers seeking a rigorous examination of faith's transformative power will find Savonarola's work both thought-provoking and moving. It is a crucial text for understanding the intersection of religion and politics in Renaissance Italy, appealing to scholars and lay readers alike who wish to explore the dimensions of divine sacrifice and moral rectitude.

Rapture The: Christianity's Most...

Chuck Missler

There continue to be many questions concerning the "Rapture" of the Church and its apparent contrast with the "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ. Where does this strange view come from? Is the term "rapture" even in the Bible? Clearly, the idea of the Rapture can be considered the most preposterous belief in Biblical Christianity. The situation regarding the doctrine of the Rapture is painfully similar to the famous quote by Dr. Richard Feynman, speaking of quantum physics: "I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics...in fact, it is often stated of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. Some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it, in fact, is that it is unquestionably correct."

Angel's Wickedness

Marie Corelli

"a woman of deplorable talent who imagined that she was a genius, and was accepted as a genius by a public to whose commonplace sentimentalities and prejudices she gave a glamorous setting." - Grant Allen "the imagination of a Poe with the style of an Ouida and the mentality of a nursemaid." -James Agate"I hate God!" Said Angel.And having made this un-angel-like statement, she folded her short arms across her breast and surveyed her horrified audience defiantly.So begins a tale of a poor child's expulsion from Sunday school for the cruelties of a God who would allow her parents to die, and her life to be one of unending misery. A deceptively short work, Angel's Wickedness contrasts the God of Vengeance with the God of Love. It is either a statement of absolute faith in the greater plan, or a Miltonian subversion of it. Angel's story is the perfect entry to the surprisingly complex work of the writer who dominated the Victorian era and early 20th century, .Corelli lived in the spaces between. Even her birth is still shrouded in mystery, and was the grandest Romance and Christian writer of her era. She outsold Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling put together. Critics hated her, calling her "the favourite of the common multitude", and she hated them in return. A favourite of Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria and William Gladstone. She was also a lesbian, with a her 'companion' of 40 years to whom she left her entire estate and is buried alongside her in a couples grave. Her friends included Mark Twain, Ouida, the Empress Frederick of Germany, and Alfred Tennyson, while her writing tried to reconcile Christianity with reincarnation and astral projection.
