  The Albigensian Crusade - Heresy...

  The Cathars emerged as one of the most distinctive and controversial religious movements of medieval Europe, particularly in the Languedoc region of modern-day southern France. Rooted in dualist beliefs, the Cathars rejected many of the core teachings of the Catholic Church, viewing the material world as the creation of an evil force and striving for spiritual purity. Their growing influence in the 12th and 13th centuries alarmed both the Church and secular rulers, eventually leading to their violent suppression during the Albigensian Crusade. 
  The origins of Catharism can be traced to earlier dualist traditions, particularly those of the Bogomils in the Balkans. These beliefs likely spread into western Europe through trade routes and missionary activity, finding fertile ground in the tolerant and prosperous culture of Languedoc. Cathar teachings were based on a stark division between the material and spiritual realms. They believed that the physical world was ruled by a malevolent force, often associated with Satan, while the true God presided over the spiritual world. This view led them to reject the Catholic Church, which they saw as corrupt and complicit in the worship of the material. Unlike the Church, which emphasized hierarchical structure, the Cathars maintained a simpler, more egalitarian approach to religious life. 
  Cathar society was structured around two primary groups: the Perfects and the Believers. The Perfects, considered the spiritual elite, led austere lives dedicated to prayer, fasting, and celibacy. They followed strict moral codes, renouncing wealth and worldly pleasures in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Believers, while not held to the same rigorous standards, supported the Perfects and aspired to receive the consolamentum, a ritual that purified the soul before death. Cathars rejected many Catholic sacraments, including baptism by water, believing instead in a form of spiritual baptism.

  Kingdom of Israel The: The...

  Before any type of unified political entity named Israel existed, the Jewish groups whose descendants would later form Israel identified themselves by their particular tribe. If asked their nationality or country of origin, they would likely identify themselves as Danites (from the tribe of Dan; Ex. 31:6) or Ephraimites (from the tribe of Ephraim; Judg. 12:5), etc. The main way to differentiate these tribes from other tribes in Canaan was their common worship of the deity YHWH, but in terms of language or other cultural characteristics, it would have been difficult to tell a Canaanite from an Israelite. 
  Eventually, these separate tribes united together as a type of confederation, allies who made a treaty (covenant) to provide military aid for one another when threatened by an enemy state. But it was only under the charismatic leadership of David that the 12 tribes united into a single political entity. Scholars refer to the period encompassing the reign of David and his son Solomon as the United Monarchy. This period, spanning only two generations, was the only time when all of the tribes were politically united, and after a contentious schism that resulted because the northern tribes felt exploited by the Judean kings, the northern tribes seceded from the “United Kingdom” and reverted back to the ancient northern versus southern division of the tribes. The main difference this time was that the southern kingdom now incorporated the tribe of Benjamin, located at the border between these two new nations, within its political borders. The tribe of Simeon (south of Judah) had already ceased to maintain a separate existence (see below). The new northern kingdom adopted the name Israel, while the southern kingdom took their regional name of Judah.

  "We need more writers with bite. We have lived in the flatlands too long," writes John Barnie in one of his 'observations' ('Art in the Flatlands'). And bite he delivers.
  
  Ranging across politics, history, culture, ecological disaster, the meaning of truth, poetry, what we mean by identity and more… Barnie shares a window onto the world that is both erudite and particular. Leaning towards pessimism in a darkening world, these observations are often provocative, not from any bullish desire to antagonise, but as the result of mining a rationalist line of thought with an honesty and consistency that is applied as much to the author as to his subjects. There is a clarity here that some may find uncomfortable, but the aim is always dialogue above agreement; intellectual engagement above cheap solutions and sentimentality.
  
  Barnie asks us to think, consider and dig deeper, but most of all he asks that we "…live richly among our secondary self-created meanings, while recognising them for what they are. To face without flinching the nullity of the great void." ('Varieties of Meaning')
  Tsunami Days is a vital collection of essays for those prepared to engage with its unflinching observations.
