Free Download Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri, "Keys to the Qur’an: Volume 1: Commentary on Surah Fatiha and Surah Baqarah"

Surat al-Fatiha is placed at the beginning of the Qur’an because it signifies the opening of knowledge and so the victory over ignorance. If, in the direction we are taking, there is no door, then we have reached our target – we have won. Fatiha means to open, reveal, imbue, and conquer. This surah is so named because if you follow it in your heart, you will be victorious. You will conquer and an opening will come to you.

Tsongkhapa’s commentary entitled A Book of Three Inspirations: A Treatise on the Stages of Training in the Profound Path of Naro’s Six Dharmas is commonly referred to as The Three Inspirations. Anyone who has read more than a few books on Tibetan Buddhism will have encountered references to the Six Yogas of Naropa, a preeminent yogic technology system. The six practices-inner heat, illusory body, clear light, consciousness transference, forceful projection, and bardo yoga-gradually came to pervade thousands of monasteries, nunneries, and hermitages throughout Central Asia over the past five and a half centuries.

Free Download David A Fiensy, "The Realia Jesus: An Archaeological Commentary on the Gospel of Luke"
English | ISBN: 1666772585 | 2024 | 376 pages | EPUB | 111 MB
Where was Golgotha? Was Peter’s house in Capernaum? Was Mary from the town of Magdala? Where was Bethsaida? We’ve all heard the arguments, but what do the archaeological finds tell us? This book pulls together archaeological information, scattered in journals and final reports, relating to the Gospel of Luke with appealing photography, instructive illustrations, and fascinating recent finds. It uses archaeology to reconstruct the social, religious, historical, geographical, and pathological context for the story of Jesus and the Jesus-movement. The book not only features the "shiny objects" from the excavations (the beautiful pottery, buildings, and entertainment facilities) but also items that are not usually handled in glossy magazines, namely, the human, skeletal remains. Yet, these bones are an important window into the biblical world indicating lifespan, morbidity, socioeconomic standing, violence, and stature. The work will employ four areas of archaeological finds and investigations, including inscriptions, large finds (of buildings), small finds (jewelry, pottery, coins), and human remains, to help interpret and illustrate the Gospel of Luke. Along the way, it assesses several archaeological controversies, giving care to be fair to all sides but leaving the reader with the information to make up his or her own mind.

The Arbitration Act 1996 radically changed English arbitration law in a number of respects. The effects of those changes are still developing and are being reflected in decisions of the courts.This section by section commentary on the Act, which Lord Bingham described as "intensely practical and admirably user-friendly" when it was first published, has been updated in a fourth edition which features comments on more than 125 new cases decided since the last edition was written in May 2003.As a result of these cases, and some changes to subsidiary legislation, the commentary on a great majority of the sections of Part 1 of the Act (the crucial part for most practitioners) has been amended, sometimes substantially. The book continues to provide checklists of choices which those involved in arbitrations need to consider, together with drafting suggestions and model agreements.Written by three practising arbitrators, this new edition continues to provide the most readable and useful guide to the Act. It is an essential handbook for all who are concerned with English arbitration.Content: Chapter 1 Materials (pages 1-22): Chapter 2 Introductory (pages 29-46): Chapter 3 The Arbitration Agreement (pages 51-59): Chapter 4 Stay of Legal Proceedings (pages 62-76): Chapter 5 Commencement of Arbitral Proceedings (pages 78-87): Chapter 6 The Arbitral Tribunal (pages 91-122): Chapter 7 Jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal (pages 151-162): Chapter 8 The Arbitral Proceedings (pages 166-201): Chapter 9 Powers of Court in Relation to Arbitral Proceedings (pages 206-221): Chapter 10 The Award (pages 226-273): Chapter 11 Costs of the Arbitration (pages 274-299): Chapter 12 Powers of the Court in Relation to Award (pages 300-355): Chapter 13 Miscellaneous (pages 357-367): Chapter 14 Supplementary (pages 369-391): Chapter 15 Domestic Arbitration Agreements (pages 396-399): Chapter 16 Consumer Arbitration Agreements (pages 404-406): Chapter 17 Small Claims Arbitration in the County Court (pages 408-409): Chapter 18 Appointment of Judges as Arbitrators (pages 409-410): Chapter 19 Statutory Arbitrations (pages 411-418): Chapter 20 Enforcement of Geneva Convention Awards (pages 419-421): Chapter 21 Recognition and Enforcement of New York Convention Awards (pages 422-437): Chapter 22 General Provisions (pages 438-447): Chapter 23 Schedules (pages 448-462): Chapter 24 SI 1996 No. 3146 (C.96) Arbitration the Arbitration Act 1996 (Commencement No. 1) Order 1996 (pages 467-470): Chapter 25 Section 103 – Refusal of Recognition or Enforcement (pages 431-479): Chapter 26 The Arbitration Act 1950, Part II (pages 480-487): Chapter 28 Table of Cases (pages 488-497): Chapter 27 Index to Commentary (pages 498-507):

Free Download J.L. Lightfoot, "The SIbylline Oracles: With Introduction, Translation, and Commentary on the First and Second Books"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0199215464 | PDF | pages: 635 | 33.8 mb
In this book, J. L. Lightfoot throws a bridge between two mutually ignorant areas: pagan oracles and Judaeo-Christian studies. The Sibyl was a legendary figure in Greco-Roman antiquity who was credited with verse prophecies, often of an apocalyptic character. Lightfoot describes how she was taken over by Jews in the Hellenistic period, and later by Christians, as a vehicle for their own understandings of prophecy. She explores what those understandings were, and describes how the message was then clothed in the very distinctive and mannered pagan idiom that was the hallmark of Sibylline prophecy. The volume contains an edition, translation, and commentary on the undeservedly neglected first and second books of extant oracles. The commentary illustrates some of the ways in which biblical scriptures were represented and recast in an oracular idiom, and pays particular attention to the oracle’s most noteworthy feature, its extraordinarily rich description of the Day of Judgement.
