When Navy SEAL Adam Brown woke up on March 17, 2010, he didn't know he would die that night in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan-but he was ready. In a letter to his children, not meant to be seen unless the worst happened, he wrote, "I'm not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this earth, because I know no matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me." Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose courage and determination were fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman. It's about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses, including drug addiction, and persevered to reach the top tier of the U.S. military. In a deeply personal and absorbing chronicle, Fearless reveals a glimpse inside the SEAL Team SIX brotherhood, and presents an indelible portrait of a highly trained warrior whose final act of bravery led to the ultimate sacrifice. Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as...fearless.  Free Download The Politics of Sacrifice: Remembering Italy's Rogo di Primavalle by Amy King English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 273 Pages | ISBN : 3031455495 | 21.3 MB This book offers an original and comprehensive study of the memory of the Rogo di Primavalle, a fatal arson attack on the home of a far-right family on 16 April 1973. Perpetrated by members of the militant left group Potere Operaio, this was the first attack on a domestic space during Italy's Years of Lead. Through analysis of media coverage, books, and social media; observation of commemoration ceremonies; visits to sites of memory; and oral history interviews conducted by the author, The Politics of Sacrifice argues that memory of the Rogo di Primavalle has been instrumentalised by neo-fascist groups over the past 50 years. Drawing on contemporary theoretical debates relating to public and private memories, King connects the construction of a narrative of sacrifice to challenges faced by the institutional far right from the time of the Movimento Sociale Italiano in the 1970s, Alleanza Nazionale in the mid-1990s, and Fratelli d'Italia today. With the far right on the rise in Italy and abroad, the book identifies the characteristics of remembering that define far-right memory culture and investigates the role of memory in building support for the far right over time.  Free Download Scott Shauf, "Jesus the Sacrifice: A Historical and Theological Study" English | ISBN: 1978713894 | 2022 | 238 pages | EPUB, PDF | 323 KB + 1241 KB Jesus the Sacrifice: A Historical and Theological Study investigates interpretations of Jesus' death as a sacrifice in the New Testament. Scott Shauf argues that sacrifice as a practice has been largely misunderstood by Christians and scholars and that a better understanding of ancient sacrificial practices will change how we understand New Testament interpretations of Jesus' death. Contrary to traditional Christian theological interpretation, the interpretation of Jesus' death as a sacrifice should not be considered a subcategory of the idea of atonement. Sacrifices had a variety of purposes in the ancient world, and atonement was only one of these. Different NT texts interpret Jesus' death as different kinds of sacrifice, and each text must be evaluated in the context of the particular kind(s) of sacrifice drawn upon. The interpretations have in common that they serve to relate the death of Jesus to early Christians' understanding of themselves, to what God had done in Jesus and to what God was doing in their midst. Shauf's conclusions also address modern theological questions, such as the problem of the violence of the cross and whether Jesus' death was necessary in a theological sense.

Lynch O.P., "Aquinas's Summa Theologiae and Eucharistic Sacrifice in the Early Modern Period " English | ISBN: 0192874780 | 2024 | 256 pages | EPUB | 670 KB This book is focused on the reception history of Thomas Aquinas' account of Eucharistic sacrifice during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Although the sacrificial character of the Eucharist has been of interest to theologians throughout the Church's history, during the early sixteenth century renewed attention was given to this subject, in part because of disputes that arose between Reformed and Catholic theologians about the relationship between the Eucharistic liturgy and Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Does the Eucharistic presence itself have a sacrificial quality? Can aspects of the liturgy or dimensions of the moral life be considered a sacrifice, and if so in what way?  Free Download Daniel Cojocaru, "Violence and Dystopia: Mimesis and Sacrifice in Contemporary Western Dystopian Narratives " English | ISBN: 1443876135 | 2015 | 335 pages | PDF | 1348 KB Violence and Dystopia is a critical examination of imitative desire, scapegoating and sacrifice in selected contemporary Western dystopian narratives through the lens of René Girard s mimetic theory. The first chapter offers an overview of the history of Western utopia/dystopia with a special emphasis on the problem of conflictive mimesis and scapegoating violence, and a critical introduction to Girard's theory. The second chapter is devoted to J.G. Ballard's seminal novel Crash (1973), Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club (1996) and Rant (2007), and Brad Anderson's film The Machinist (2004). It is argued that the car crash functions as a metaphor for conflictive mimetic desire and leads to a quasi-sacrificial crisis as defined by Girard for archaic religion. The third chapter focuses on the psychogeographical writings of Iain Sinclair and Peter Ackroyd. Walking the streets of London the pedestrian represents the excluded underside of the world of Ballardian speed. The walking subject is portrayed in terms of the expelled victim of Girardian theory. The fourth chapter considers violent crowds as portrayed by Ballard's late fiction, the writings of Stewart Home, and David Peace's GB84 (2004). In accordance with Girard's hypothesis, the discussed narratives reveal the failure of scapegoat expulsion to restore peace to the potentially self-destructive violent crowds. The fifth chapter examines the post-apocalyptic environments resulting from failed scapegoat expulsion and mimetic conflict out of control, as portrayed in Sinclair's Radon Daughters (1994), Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale (1985) and Oryx and Crake (2003), and Will Self's The Book of Dave (2006).

Bennett, "Temples Rising: A Heritage of Sacrifice" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1629725692 | EPUB | pages: 352 | 5.5 mb In their poverty, the early Kirtland Saints were commanded to build a temple, "a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God" (D&C 88:119) so that the Lord could endow His people "with power from on high." (D&C 95:8). After abandoning Kirtland and that holy house, they built again in Nauvoo, only to watch the temple burn as they left it behind. Upon arriving in the Great Basin, they quickly laid plans for more temples in Salt Lake City, St. George, Manti, and Logan. Time after time, they faced opposition and sacrifice, yet they continued to build, dedicate, learn, and worship. Why did these temples remain so important to the Saints and to the Lord in spite of roadblocks?  Free Download The Nomadic Sacrifice by Martino Nicoletti, Viv Rodgers English | December 1, 2013 | ISBN: 9937506913 | 144 pages | EPUB | 3.59 Mb In the heart of the Himalayas, officiants belonging to Tibet's ancient religion, Bön, undertake a long ritual pilgrimage through wild and inhospitable places inhabited by mountain deities, water genii, ferocious demons and dangerous ghosts. As the pilgrimage unfolds, having attracted the spirits' attention with wildly provocative acts and evoking their presence by reciting a ritual text and the sound of magical musical instruments, the practitioners celebrate the meditative sacrifice of their own body (chöd), offered to a whole host of invisible beings as spiritual nourishment during a singular ritual banquet. Texts, diary excerpts and photos recount this archaic ritual, deeply rooted in the notion of Universal Compassion and chiefly aimed at severing the practitioner's attachment to his physical body and overcoming identification with his own illusory ego. The work is also enriched by the sacred ritual text The Secret Wisdom Ḍākinī (Khandro Sangba Yeshe), translated for this volume by Geshe Gelek Jinpa, and by a DVD containing a short Super-8 film by the author, as well as the liturgical chöd chant performed by the monks of the bönpo monastery Triten Norbutse in Nepal.

Free Download Sacrifice Zones: The Front Lines of Toxic Chemical Exposure in the United States By Lerner, Steve;Brown, Phil(Foreword) 2010 | 346 Pages | ISBN: 0262014408 | PDF | 2 MB Across the United States, thousands of people, most of them in low-income or minority communities, live next to heavily polluting industrial sites. Many of them reach a point at which they say "Enough is enough." After living for years with poisoned air and water, contaminated soil, and pollution-related health problems, they start to take action--organizing, speaking up, documenting the effects of pollution on their neighborhoods. In "Sacrifice Zones," Steve Lerner tells the stories of twelve communities, from Brooklyn to Pensacola, that rose up to fight the industries and military bases causing disproportionately high levels of chemical pollution. He calls these low-income neighborhoods "sacrifice zones." And he argues that residents of these sacrifice zones, tainted with chemical pollutants, need additional regulatory protections."Sacrifice Zones" goes beyond the disheartening statistics and gives us the voices of the residents themselves, offering compelling portraits of accidental activists who have become grassroots leaders in the struggle for environmental justice and details the successful tactics they have used on the fenceline with heavy industry.
