The Paschal Liturgy and the Apocalypse

Christian interpreters in all ages have sought a clue to the New Testament Book of Revelation. In this study, Massey H. Shepherd offers a new approach to the basic structure of the Book. He surveys the development of Paschal rites and customs of the ancient Church, from apostolic times to the end of the age of persecution, as a background and context for understanding the outline and basic theme of Revelation. Fresh perspectives are opened to students of New Testament and early Christian literature, the liturgy and piety of the primitive Church, and the origins of the Christian Year.

Bibliography Indexes 0227170539/0227170547 G. Parrinder: West African Psychology Short and long description: The comparative study of African religion has begun. But the idea of the soul is less prominent, and this study is the first comparative account of West African psychological beliefs. This study essays to present one. Based on personal research supported by study of the best modern anthropologist, this examination of West African thought about the soul, and spiritual powers of man and animals, covers most of the coast and hinterland from the Ivory Coast to Eastern Nigeria. Beliefs in a future life; ghosts; reincarnation; metamorphosis; hysterical possession; soul-eating by witches; and the interpretation of dram are all recorded. In conclusion, Dr. Parrinder suggests briefly ways in which African religion and thought might be guided in their development. The subject is one of practical importance to all who are interested, personally and professionally, in religion, as well as to any others whose work leads them into personal relationships with West African people.
