Nightmares with the Bible The Good Book and Cinematic Demons


Free Download Steve A. Wiggins author of A Reassessment of Asherah and Weathering the Psalms, "Nightmares with the Bible: The Good Book and Cinematic Demons "
English | ISBN: 197870318X | 2020 | 240 pages | EPUB, PDF | 448 KB + 2 MB
Demons! Nightmares with the Bible views demons through two lenses: that of western religion and that of cinema. Sketching out the long fear of demons in western history, including the Bible, Steve A. Wiggins moves on to analyze how popular movies inform our beliefs about demonic forces. Beginning with the idea of possession, he explores the portrayal of demons from ancient Mesopotamia and the biblical world (including in select extra-biblical texts), and then examines the portrayal of demons in popular horror franchises The Conjuring, The Amityville Horror, and Paranormal Activity. In the final chapter, Wiggins looks at movies that followed The Exorcist and offers new perspectives for viewing possession and exorcism. Written in non-technical language, this book is intended for anyone interested in how demons are perceived and how popular culture informs those perceptions.

English | 2015 | ISBN: 1803990430 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 1.9 mb
Mary Queen of Scots is perhaps one of the most controversial and divisive monarchs in regal history. Her story reads like a particularly spicy novel, with murder, kidnap, adultery, assassination and execution. To some she is one of the most wronged women in history, a pawn used and abused by her family in the great monarchical marriage game; to others, a murderous adulteress who committed regicide to marry her lover and then spent years in captivity for the crime, endlessly Descriptionting the demise of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England.
