Bøger om Yom Kippur

This book is a meticulously researched and thought-provoking study that delves into the analysis and comparison of rituals in two distinct settings: the ancient Book of Leviticus and traditional Malagasy culture on the island of Madagascar. Author Olivier Randrianjaka invesigates why Malagasy Christians connect with Leviticus despite the apathy of the Western church. As this book demonstrates, the key unifying themes are sin, purification, and sacrifice. Profound parallels emerge between Levitical rituals (such as postpartum purification and the Day of Atonement) and Malagasy rituals (such as taboo violation, postpartum purification, and the New Year royal bath). The study highlights the universal relevance of sin, purification and sacrifice rituals, inviting reflection on their significance in diverse cultural and religious contexts."This is a remarkable book that represents a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate connections between Leviticus and Malagasy traditional rituals. The author¿s meticulous analysis and profound insights into the themes of sin, sacrifice and atonement offer invaluable knowledge for Christian readers. I highly recommend this work to anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of Madagascar¿s religion, particularly its rich tapestry of traditional rituals."¿Dr. Razivelo Mariette, Lutheran Faculty of Theology (SALT), Madagascar"Rituals for purification play a significant role in most cultures, and this book contributes to the understanding of these phenomena in general. It provides insight into these rituals in Malagasy society and their description in the Book of Leviticus in the Bible. The book focuses on religious praxis, as described in texts and demonstrated in life. Every person will encounter these phenomena, and here is a tool to grasp their meaning."¿Magnar Kartveit, Emeritus Professor of Old Testament at VID Specialized University, Stavanger, Norway

Da en amerikansk agent tages som gidsel, dukker Madeleine Toche op igen for at redde ham og slås mod PLO og andre modstandere i Israels Yom Kippur-krig. Toche, som alle frygter som Dødsenglen, må send en klar og blodig besked til PLO, få agenten befriet eller dø i forsøget. Med hjælp fra Mossad slipper Toche sit raseri løs og efterlader sig et spor af ødelæggelse i sit kølvand. Uddrag af bogen”Som vi planlagde forbliver Karen her med sit køretøj. John kommer tilbage til fods, når hans mission er afsluttet. Jack vil køre os tre nærmere målet og positionere sig for en hurtig tilbagetog. John, sørg for at give dig selv god tid til at komme til Karen.””Det skal jeg nok. På vej tilbage stopper jeg bag bunken af klipper.” John pegede på en lille klippeformation, der stødte op til bunden af en gradvist skrånende bjergside. ”Jeg står imod ethvert modangreb, der kommer fra den retning.””Det var det, vi ved alle hvad vores job er,” sagde Madeleine. ”Lad os gå hen og få det gjort.””Toche, lad nu være med at blive dræbt eller fanget,” sagde Jack og rakte hånden ud og trak hende tæt.”Det har du sagt til mig før, MI6,” sagde Madeleine. ”Og husk, engle, dør ikke.” Om forfatterenSoren Paul Petrek arbejder som advokat i kriminalsager.
