The ever-growing interest in cultural memory has generated an impressive body of academic literature on public commemoration, but not enough attention has been paid until now to the power and appeal of names to transcend death. This book is the first to investigates onymic commemoration as a technology of immortality. Bringing together issues as diverse as casualty lists on public display and honorific street-names, the inquiry expands on the commemorative capacity of an “everlasting name” as a site of remembrance. It explores how notions about names, being, fame and an afterlife have coalesced into prestigious and time-honored commemorative practices and traditions that demonstrate the cultural power of an “everlasting name” to confer immortality through remembrance. By linking ancient traditions and modern practices, this book offers a cross-cultural analysis of onymic commemoration that is broad in scope and covers a wide time frame, encompassing diverse historical periods, cultural contexts and geopolitical settings.

With America's confidence in the Bible at an all-time low and the strength of her spiritual convictions waning, it is essential for Christians—especially Christian leaders—to be well-grounded in biblical theology. To have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the key doctrines of evangelicalism. In response, professor and award-winning author Bruce Demarest has made plain God's glorious plan of salvation, his provision for the human dilemma through Christ's work on the cross, and the application of saving grace to unbelievers. Demarest's unique approach defines each topic, identifies its most pressing issues, examines the ways in which the doctrine has been understood historically, and interprets the Bible's revelation. The result is a clear and carefully constructed doctrinal statement that you can defend, live out, and communicate to others. This singular, comprehensive treatment of one of Christianity's essential doctrines gives definitive, Bible-based answers about salvation and the cross— and about related theological issues such as grace and regeneration. It's perfect for clarifying your theology and gaining deep understanding of this foundational theme. Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series.

They were as different as the creatures of the land are to the creatures of the sea. They were a people in the spirit and children of their God. For over 30 years they were in the spirit with their God (in the wilderness) and learning a new way of understanding. Finally a dream came upon them. They were at a banquet. There were two long tables covered with elegant white tablecloths. One full of the food they knew and loved and with engraved candles and white dinner plates. The other table bare except for large white plates with unusual food at one end. As unusual as the food was - it was delicious. Upon awakening they worked out the dream. The food on the first table was symbolic for their existing beliefs and traditions. The other table represented a new way of life in the spirit – the Way of the Holy Spirit One outcome of this journey is new knowledge in the spirit - and in books titled The Science of Life and Dimensional Energy Physics. The Third Testament used by this Life in the Spirit group is in the Appendix. The opening words of the Third Testament are: Seek compassion not perfection Seek techniques of reconciliation Children of an Everlasting Heaven is a tale of a man and a woman destined to be eternal companions (also a gourmet feast for those curious about Life in the Spirit). Their journey begins with a chance meeting in an Australian court. An impossible coincidence presents itself – during World War II Darth’s Polish Catholic mother hid a German Jewish girl under her bed when Gestapo came hunting Jews. It becomes clear Helen is the daughter of that woman! She takes an interest in what he is doing - researching court orders organised by lawyers and used to aid “property theft” and protect child sexual abuse. That research is documented on his medical sites. (www.5glsoftware.org/sftdoc.html). On the surface such AVOs protect a person from violence. He also wants to document the medical impact on people subject to exploitation. People over 50 cannot find work because a mentality in control does not employ over 50’s. Instead, laws are in place which force such to volunteer to work with no pay. The “force” is achieved by harassment: a man with debilitating arthritis works for no pay lifting heavy furniture to avoid harassment by bureaucrats. Helen, a young Rabbi with ideal Aryan looks and a figure to die for, begins teaching her man about Life in the Spirit – a mystery passed (in the spirit) from Aaron (the first priest). It is the Promised Land or the Kingdom of Heaven. Virtual reality forms in the mind and a person learns to use mental images. Darth is the Immortal Lord and in him the Holy Spirit strong. His manner of leading his people in the spirit is to come across as a lost soul who needs guidance. Often wondering if his legal research that is identifying laws and court orders abused or used to protect child sexual abuse is more important than trying to assist his people in the spirit? Parts are romance – boy meets girl, boy dates girl, boy and girl argue, boy and girl kiss, boy and girl fall in love. In other chapters Helen locks his mind and explains mysteries. In time she is suspicious – he is linking to Life in the Spirit groups with the innocence of a dove and the cunning of a serpent – in Kaspa and Delilah (Chapter 16) using delightful cartoon imagery the little ghost is looking for his dad using maps he asks those he comes upon – Rabbi, Catholic Sister, Islamic woman with a veil, a Buddhist monk – to help him understand. Some visions are – magnificent – in a high quality 3-D panoramic vision like a majestic alien landscape formed from effervescent and shimmering vibrations of light, he looking a touch like Darth Vader of Star Wars, he flows: “While there is one child who dies from hunger or lack of care – we are at war. Jesus said his kingdom is not
