After discussion of the importance of the apocalypse genre, Thompson considers the form and structure of the book, the unified world created by it, and the social conditions that prevailed whilst it was being written. Originally published in 1990.About seventy years after the death of Jesus, John of Patmos sent visionary messages to Christians in seven cities of western Asia Minor. These messages would eventually become part of the New Testament canon, as The Book of Revelation. What was John's message? What was its literary form? Did he write to a persecuted minority or to Christians enjoying the social and material benefits of the Roman Empire? In search of answers to these penetrating questions, Thompson critically examines the language, literature, history, and social setting of the Book of the Apocalypse. Following a discussion of the importance of the genre apocalypse, he closely analyses the form and structure of the Revelation, its narrative and metaphoric unity, the world created through John's visions, and the social conditions of the empire in which John wrote. He offers an unprecedented interpretation of the role of boundaries in Revelation, a reassessment of the reign of the Emperor Domitian, and a view of tribulation that integrates the literary vision of Revelation with the reality of the lives of ordinary people in a Roman province. Throughout his study, Thompson argues that the language of Revelation joins the ordinary to the extra-ordinary, earth to heaven, and local conditions to supra-human processes.228/.06Thompson Leonard L.1934-1649216MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815165403321The book of Revelation3997850UNINA03568nam 22006975 450 991096081120332120250906110135.09781400849482140084948910.1515/9781400849482(CKB)2550000001130567(EBL)1422534(DE-B1597)448054(OCoLC)861200185(OCoLC)979742468(DE-B1597)9781400849482(MiAaPQ)EBC1422534(Perlego)735967(ODN)ODN0001431719(EXLCZ)99255000000113056720190708d2013 fg engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMemory The Key to Consciousness /Richard F.

Every person's brain holds millions of bits of information in long-term storage. This vast memory store includes our extensive vocabulary and knowledge of language; the tremendous and unique variety of facts we've amassed; all the skills we've learned, from walking and talking to musical and athletic performance; many of the emotions we feel; and the continuous sensations, feelings, and understandings of the world we term consciousness. Without memory there can be no mind as we understand it. Focusing on cutting-edge research in behavioral science and neuroscience, Memory is a primer of our current scientific understanding of the mechanics of memory and learning. Over the past two decades, memory research has accelerated and we have seen an explosion of new knowledge about the brain. For example, there now exists a wide-ranging and successful applied science devoted exclusively to the study of memory that has yielded better procedures for eliciting valid recollections in legal settings and improved the diagnosis and treatment of memory disorders. Everyone fascinated by the scope and power of the human brain will find this book unforgettable.Science EssentialsLearningPhysiological aspectsLearning, Psychology ofMemoryThought and thinkingSCIENCE / Physics / AstrophysicsbisacshLearningPhysiological aspects.Learning, Psychology of.Memory.Thought and thinking.SCIENCE / Physics / Astrophysics.153.12SCI000000bisacshThompson Richard F.78350Madigan Stephen A.DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910960811203321Memory4430290UNINA
