The Language of Mystery

Religion & Spirituality

ROBINSON, EDWARD

Literature & Fiction

UNKNO

Our culture is exposed today as never before to an abundance of sensual imagery of every kind. How are our religious institutions to respond to this? And where does the sensual end and the aesthetic begin? The one is associated with sin, the other with beauty. Where should a tradition that honours incarnation stand on such questions? The fear of idolatry has in the past led some to reject images of all kinds. Others have given icons a central part in their worship. What constitutes an icon? And how is it to be distinguished from an idol? Questions such as these lie at the heart of this book, in which Edward Robinson, himself a distinguished sculptor and an able spokesman on spirituality and the arts, finds in the creative imagination the key to an understanding of the deeper roots of what makes us truly human. But it is not only, he argues, the creative artist, but each and every one of us who is born with this power of imagination, the faculty that can open us up to the infinite potential hidden in every moment of what seems a transient and elusive present. In particular he stresses the importance of distinguishing the ideas of the sacred and the holy, a distinction which he suggests may be vital if we are to be alive to the ever-present dangers of idolatry in our religious institutions today.

A Greek and English Lexicon of the New Testament (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Greek and English Lexicon of the New TestamentThe' New Testament, then, was written by Hebrews, aiming to express Hebrew thoughts, conceptions, feelings, in the Greek tongue. Their idiom, consequently, in soul and spirit, is Hebrew; in its exter nal form, Greek, and that more or less pure, according to the facilities which an individual writer might have possessed of acquiring ﬂuency and accuracy of expression in that tongue.* The preceding remarks present a summary view of the principles which have guided the Author in the preparation of the present volume. The Greek of the New Testament constitutes but a small portion of the Greek language as a whole; and a Lexicon of it can only aim to give a just exhibition of one of the subordinate forms or phases of that rich and noble tongue. Of such a work, the following, it would seem, ought to be some of the chief traits; and they have accordingly been made prominent objects of attention.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
