Religiøse aspekter ved seksualitet, køn og parforhold

Lyst og lidenskab i middelalderen er en bog om seksuel adfærd i Danmark og Europa i perioden ca. 1000-1500 e.Kr. Den behandler emnet ud fra en kulturel og sociologisk vinkel, hvorved man får et særligt indblik i et alment menneskeligt emne i en fjern men afgørende vigtig historisk periode. En periode, der normmæssigt ikke er så fjernt fra os i dag, som man umiddelbart skulle tro. Selvom der findes litteratur om emnet, er kun en meget lille del af det tilgængeligt på dansk, og tilmed er den litteratur meget akademisk. Lyst og lidenskab i middelalderen søger at rette op på dette forhold ved samlet at formidle den viden, der er til rådighed i dag.Ligesom Kåre Johannessens seneste bog, Magt og mennesker i Danmarks middelalder, er ambitionen at give en faglig kompetent og velillustreret fremstilling i tradition med store formidlere som Palle Lauring, Erik Kjærsgaard og Piet van Deurs og derved at fange såvel den unge som den ældre læsers opmærksomhed.

Reclaiming Men's Spirituality is a study that investigates men's spirituality by exploring three research questions: Can a form of spirituality about men be identified and described, how can this spirituality be examined, and what is it that needs to be reclaimed? To answer these questions and at the same time remain committed to the importance of lived experience, this study opted to investigate the lives of men by attending to ten spiritual histories. The study is situated in Malta, and the ten spiritual histories provide access to various features, expressions, and contours that relate closely to men's being. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with ten spiritual directors who have men as spiritual directees. Their contribution clarifies the structure of men's spirituality, the effort required when directing male spiritual directees and the impact generated in the lives of men thanks to spiritual direction. To provide a frame of reference for the examination of all the gathered data, John of the Cross's spiritual framework has been chosen as the mystical instrument against which men's spiritualities are studied, leading to richer insights into the operations, motives, goals, and problems of such spiritualities.

The catalog accompanying the ALBERTINA Museum exhibition presents Alfred Kubin's (1877-1959) view of the world of evil, the predominant theme of his life and work. For him, one of the most outstanding draughtsmen of the 20th century, the aesthetics of evil proved to be the antithesis of the idyll, the deliberate suppression of a hideous reality. Defenseless, he finds himself confronted with uncanny dream phenomena and a pronounced fear of the feminine, sexuality, night and being at the mercy of fate. Trapped in his dark visions, evil is inexhaustible for him and determines his life. Essays by Elisabeth Dutz (ed.), Natalie Lettner and Brigitte Holzinger explore Alfred Kubin's graphic cosmos of the sinister, the iconography of evil, his nightmares and obsessions. The Austrian draughtsman and graphic artist ALFRED KUBIN was born in Leitmeritz in Bohemia in 1877. After traumatic childhood experiences in Zell am See and subsequent mental crises, he began his artistic training in Munich in 1898. He processed his nightmares and obsessions in a large number of fantastic drawings. In 1906, he married and bought a property in Zwickledt near Wernstein am Inn, where he lived until his death in 1959.

L'année dernière, j'ai fait un séjour d'un mois dans l'une des grandes puissances du monde. Il est dit que la population de ce pays est constituée à vingt-cinq pour cent de Chrétiens. Oui, la prétention est que, une personne sur quatre est née de nouveau.Il m'a aussi été dit que le taux de divorce montait en flèche. Un ministre de l'Evangile m'a même dit que le taux de divorce parmi les croyants était tout aussi élevé que parmi les non-croyants.Il m'a été dit que des ministres-dirigeants de l'Evangile étaient en train de divorcer d'avec leurs femmes et d'en épouser d'autres tout en continuant à avoir les bénédictions de Dieu sur leurs grands ministères.Ceci m'a fait réfléchir ! Etaient-ils en train d'utiliser une Bible différente de la mienne? Etions-nous dans différentes religions?Je commençai à réfléchir sérieusement sur ce sujet. Je lus et relus les Ecritures.Tu trouveras dans les pages qui suivent le fruit de mon étude.Que Dieu te bénisse pendant que tu lis ce livre.
