Religion og tro

Teksterne i denne antologi giver læseren et indtryk af, hvordan det kan se ud, når LGBT-personer selv skriver om forholdet mellem kirke og homoseksualitet/køn. Under titlen "Vi er også kirken – skitse til en regnbueteori" skriver syv teologer/præster med et fælles ønske om at vise, at de – selv om de ikke altid bliver hørt, indimellem bliver bedt om at være stille og ofte bliver talt om som nogle, der står og venter på at blive lukket ind i kirken – faktisk allerede er kirken.Flere af bidragsyderne har deltaget i kampen for først en kirkelig velsignelse af registreret partnerskab og sidenhen vielse af par af samme køn. Det har til tider været hårdt og nedslidende for dem, der gik forrest, og derfor var det en stor forløsning for dem og mange andre, da kampen blev vundet. Nogle udfordringer var dermed væk, men som teksterne afspejler, står andre stadig tilbage i dag.Med antologiens overskrift "Vi er også kirken" insisterer forfatterne på en plads og en stemme i kirken.Teksterne i antologien "Vi er også kirken" er skrevet af Anne-Birgitte Zoëga, Viggo Julsgaard Jensen, Irene Larsen, Lene Sjørup, Carina Wøhlk, Ib Bjørn Lauritsen og Mia Rahr Jacobsen.

Da Kåre Gade i 1981 som nyimmatrikuleret teologistuderende i Aarhus lænede hovedet bagover og betragtede universitetets høje bogtårn, spekulerede han på, om efeuen på de gule mursten ville nå toppen af tårnet, inden han blev kandidat.

Hvad former vores tro, og hvor næres den fra? Spørgsmålet er gennemgående i Paula Larrains bog. For hende har mødet med Danmark, folkekirken og Grundtvig været afgørende, men troen har også rødder i Sydamerika, i naturen og i den overleverede tro.Det var en landmandsfamilie på Vestsjælland, der åbnede døren ind til den danske folkekirke-kristendom. Paula Larrain var kommet med sin familie fra Chile, og meget så anderledes ud i det lille land i Nordeuropa, men familien på gården og deres tilgang til kristendommen blev væsentlig i familiens første år i Danmark. Siden fulgte ungdomsår som erklæret marxist og ateist, men troen dukkede op igen – ofte i mødet med andre mennesker. Senere blev den en krumtap i tilværelsen, og det blev også den, der kom til at blive omdrejningspunktet for hendes arbejdsliv."Kristendommen ifølge ..." er en serie af bøger, der åbner troens univers.

"Better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven."It's the classic temptation - power. And these are the words John Milton puts on the forked tongue of the serpent when it speaks to Adam and Eve.We know how it ends - an apple, nakedness and banishment.But in 'Paradise Lost', Milton turns a few Bible verses into a true epic. In 10,000 lines of beautiful but dark verse, he tells the parallel stories of Satan and of Adam and Eve.With greed, temptation, lust, sex, deception, shame and much more, it is a classic whose themes are as relevant and alluring today as ever before.John Milton (1608-1674) was almost 60 when he produced his masterpiece, 'Paradise Lost'.He was an English poet who served as a civil servant under Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell in the 17th century. Before this, he was considered a dangerous radical as he published rebellious pamphlets during the reign of Charles I.A famed republican, his work 'Areopagitica' was a scorching condemnation of pre-publication censorship.The Restoration of Charles II saw Milton marginalised from 1660. He died blind and impoverished.

In drie boeken ging Carry van Bruggen in op haar jeugd als dochter van een arm joods gezin in Zaandam: "Vier jaargetijden", "Het huisje aan de slot" en "Avontuurtjes". Ze schreef deze boeken in een gelukkige periode van haar leven: de jaren 1920, toen ze net was getrouwd met haar tweede echtgenoot, de kunsthistoricus Adriaan Pit. Wat de jeugdherinneringen in "Avontuurtjes" boven het anekdotische uittilt, is Van Bruggens intelligentie en haar interesse voor de tweespalt tussen individu en samenleving. Het orthodoxe milieu waarin ze opgroeide was zowel warm als verstikkend. Van Bruggen ziet de mens als een wezen dat versmelting met anderen zoekt, maar altijd weer alleen komt te staan: een spanning die ook deze schetsen de tijd doet trotseren.Carry van Bruggen (schrijversnaam van de Joods-Nederlandse Carolina Lea de Haan, 1881-1932) was de zus van Jacob Israël de Haan, schrijver van "Pijpelijntjes", een van de eerste Nederlandse romans waarin homoseksualiteit openlijk werd beschreven. Net als haar broer ging Van Bruggen geen controversieel thema uit de weg. In haar romans en pamfletten ging ze elk dogmatisme te lijf. Ze was de enige vrouwelijke auteur uit haar tijd die door collega’s en critici au sérieux werd genomen. Ze woonde een tijdlang in Nederlands-Indië met haar eerste man. Haar bekendste romans zijn "Eva" en "Een coquette vrouw". Ze schreef ook non-fictie, met als bekendste titels "Prometheus" en "Hedendaagsch fetischisme". Haar werk raakte in de vergetelheid, maar werd in de jaren 1970 herontdekt door de feministische beweging.

Espousing the importance of freedom, ‘Philosophy of Mind’ is the last volume in Hegel’s ‘Encyclopaedia of Philosophical Sciences.’ He takes the reader on an existential journey, carefully analysing the roles of the spirit, mind, subjectivity, and objectivity in the pursuit of total psychological freedom. Being Hegel, there’s an insightful dip into the history of the time, making this an essential read for philosophy fans or those who want to dip their toes into these fascinating waters.Georg Wilhelm Frederich Hegel (1770 – 1831) was a German philosopher and considered to be one of the pioneers of Western philosophy. A dedicated Idealist, Hegel developed a method of dialectic thought, which examined a variety of subjects, including history, nature, divinity, and human nature, from every possible perspective. While a devout Christian, Hegel railed against the notion of orthodoxy, instead approaching his faith from a logical and rationalistic point of view. Hegel’s influence on the world of philosophy cannot be understated and he remains one of the great thinkers of the 18th and 19th centuries.
