The Bible, we are constantly reminded, is the best-selling book of all time. It is read with intense devotion by hundreds of millions of people, stands as authoritative for Judaism and Christianity, and informs and affects the politics and lives of the religious and non-religious around the world. But how well do we really know it? The Bible is so familiar, so ubiquitous that we have begun to take our knowledge of it for granted. The Bible many of us think we know is a pale imitation of the real thing.

Free Download Jamie James, "The Glamour of Strangeness: Artists and the Last Age of the Exotic"
English | 2016 | pages: 384 | ISBN: 0374163359 | EPUB | 7,9 mb
According to Paul Bowles, a tourist travels quickly home, while a traveler moves slowly from one destination to the next. In The Glamour of Strangeness, Jamie James describes "a third species, those who roam the world in search of the home they never had in the place that made them." From the early days of steamship travel, artists stifled by the culture of their homelands fled to islands, jungles, and deserts in search of new creative and emotional frontiers. Their flight inspired a unique body of work that doesn’t fit squarely within the Western canon, yet may be some of the most original statements we have about the range and depth of the artistic imagination.

Free Download On the Perpetual Strangeness of the Bible (Richard E. Myers Lectures) by Michael Edwards
English | November 3, 2023 | ISBN: 0813950546, 0813950538 | True EPUB | 136 pages | 1.8 MB
The language of the Bible can be beautiful but profoundly elusive, possessing a strangeness that only deepens the committed reader’s sense of its impenetrability. Based on the 2022 Richard E. Myers lectures given by renowned literary scholar Michael Edwards―the first Englishman ever elected to the Académie française―this book offers a close reading of the Bible itself, directing attention to the text rather than to commentaries or to ostensible lessons to be discovered by paraphrase.
