King Christian

King Christian

"Hamlet" by William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is considered one of the greatest plays of all times. We all know the story of the Danish prince whose mother has married the undisclosed murderer of his father, i.e. his uncle who now also has become the new king. However, when most of us see this as the well-established plot of the play, professor Peter Andersen (Universite de Strassbourg) sees it as a sort of allegory over the murder of the famous Danish astronomist, Tycho Brahe (1546-1601). This controversial theory was published in his new book, "Kunstvaerket" (: "The Artwork").

His key to this interpretation is a story from 1603: "Den Hvenske Krønike". It is about the enmity of the brother of King James I's wife, Anna, i.e. the Danish king Christian IV (1588-1648) and the astronomist, the murder by proxy by his relative, Erik Brahe, who admitted his crime in a letter, etc., etc.. The reason for the murder is according to Peter Andersen first and foremost the numerous slights by Tycho Brahe against the king's close friend and advisor, Jon Jakobsen (Also goes by the name of Venusin).

One of the reasons for the king's personal hatred of Tycho Brahe may have been the rumours that he had had an affair with his mother and that he had murdered his father, the former king. That made the astronomist out to be the king's natural father and thus robbed him of his legitimacy. According to Peter Andersen, the "Elsinore" of "Hamlet" is not the town of Helsingoer, but the small island of Hven which for many years was the home of Tycho Brahe.

To me this is a rather circumstantial evidence in a crime investigation, but Peter Andersen has assembled a large mass of evidence and is very well read. I think this is a book which shall fall totally or stand tall with time. Many will reject it on sight, so to speak, but only time will tell how it shall fare.

Final Steps In Christian Maturity $9.95 "The King of France ordered Jeanne Guyon to appear before Archbishop Bossuet for interrogation. This would be a fateful event for her, for the results of that interrogation would decided whether or not she would be imprisoned.Jeanne Guyon made the decision to present to Bossuet a clear statement - and defense - of her teachings. The result was a massive three-volume work entitled Justifications.This work was later printed in French, probably appearing in only one printing. Justifications has never appeared in English, and has been virtually forgotten. Final Steps In Christian Maturity is a careful selection of some of the very best material found in that original three-volume work.Here, then, is some of the finest literature ever penned on the deeper Christian life."

The Basis of Christian Prayer $18.95 "Before his death in October of 1996, Huw Parri Owen, the Oxford-trained Emeritus Professor of Christian Doctrine at King's College, London, completed three books in addition to several he had previously published. Two of those three have since been lost; the third, The Basis of Christian Prayer, is now available posthumously for the very first time. In this work, H.P. Owen is concerned not only with the practice of prayer, but likewise with its objective structure and content. Perhaps most significantly, he deals at length with the theological and philosophical questions that prayer raises. Proceeding from both biblical and philosophical standpoints, and encompassing as many elements of prayer as possible, Owen addresses the various forms of vocal prayer (adoration, thanksgiving, confession, petition, and intercession), the Lord's Prayer, meditation, contemplation, and mystical prayer. Additionally, he covers such topics as prayer and belief, prayer and religious experience, the language of prayer, and the place of the emotions in prayer. Combining the analytic precision of a trained philosopher with the insight and sensitivity of a seasoned veteran in the Christian faith, The Basis of Christian Prayer is a unique and invaluable resource for the reflective life."

The King's Retribution $10.99 "In the world of Ayana was a kingdom called Aria. King Owen ruled Aria, alone, for seventeen years since his queen passed away. He cared for Princess Aarilinus who was most precious and beautiful woman in the land. King Owen was a man with a terrible past of anger, regret as well as greed. The king of Aria has a problem. Aarilina is in love with Animus who is not only a peasant, but is son of the man who is responsible for the death of the queen, Aarilina's mother. There is great tension and frustration between King Owen and his daughter. Animus is challenged to retrieve a mask with many other suitors to marry the princess. The mask, once worn by a great warrior makes the possessor invincible to any army. The mask is heavily guarded by creatures of the darkness within the citadel. The king hopes to trick Animus into self dought, but soon finds that the temple will do the work of destroying him. King Owen knows that the mask has a history of its own and discovers the truth that love is the strongest feeling in the world. Ryan Keith Johnson was born in Stillwater, Minnesota and grew up in Somerset, Wisconsin. Ryan has been writing since he was 13 years old and hasn't stopped creating interesting plots. Water color painting, ink illustration as well as using pastel has been an inspiration to capture his imagination. Ryan began with the publishing of his poem in 1996 in the Anthology of Poetry for Young Americans. He graduated from Brown College in 2000, with the emphasis in graphic design. His inspiration for writing comes from listening to Celtic music as well as Nichole Nordemen, Michael W. Smith, Jane Siberry, Sarah Brightman and other Christian music. When he's not writing he enjoysnature hikes, swimming on the beach, watching a good movie, exercising and relaxing. Creating a personal relationship with Jesus is very extraordinary and can only be accomplished by inviting Him into your life. Helping people is a task that is also enjoyable. Ryan plans to publish more Christian books as well as sell his water color paintings, and complete his collaboration of a graphic board game."

At the time it was first published, the author wrote, "This book is the result of finding nothing to recommend to my students as an introduction to the wide variety and great richness of the Christian spiritual experience. The texts available are either too detailed, too unbalanced, or both." This situation remains the same today, more than twenty years later.>Now this concise and very readable introduction to Christian spirituality is available for a new generation of readers. Holmes begins with the Jewish antecedents, and proceeds through the New Testament period, monasticism, the Middle Ages, Byzantine spirituality, and the modern period. He ends his overview with key contemporary figures such as Simone Weil, Thomas Merton, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Brief bibliographies of the books written by each notable figure are included for those who wish to read more extensively.>A History of Christian Spirituality is the perfect book for introductory classes at the M.

Where Do We Stand? a Christian Response to Secularism $17.95 "Where do we stand? inquires into the nature of our secularist, materialistic civilization and offers a thoughtful Christian response. Blamires focuses on point of antagonism between the Christian faith and the assumptions of modernity. He notes, by contrast, the movements both inside and outside the Church -- some plainly materialistic and self-indulgent, others well-intentioned and altrustic -- which tends to undermine distinctively Christian action. He reminds Christians that the challenge today is one Christians have always faced: "The conflict between the Church and the World, between Christ and Caesar, will not go away and cannot be resolved by shuttle diplomacy, however patient and protracted. The Christian's vocation is always to be a citizen of another kingdom and therefore to live uneasily in the kingdom of this world." Harry Blamires started writing in the late 1940s at the encouragement of his friend, C.S. Lewis, his tutor at Oxford. Well known as a theologian, literary critic, and novelist, Blamires served as head of the English department at King Alfreds College in Winchester, England. He is well-known for his classic books The Christian Mind and On Christian Truth. His most recent book is The Post Christian Mind: Exposing Its Destructive Agenda (1999), also available from Regent College Publishing."
