| archons: Archon Lana Krumwiede, 2013-10-08 As the powerless and the powerful clash, allies and enemies are not always who they seem to be in this dynamic sequel to the dystopian novel Freakling. Having used his unique connection with the Heart of the Earth to terminate the use of psi, or telekinesis, in the secluded city of Deliverance, twelve-year-old Taemon bears the burden of responsibility for the fate of its people. With society in disarray, his family missing, and tensions looming with the mysterious Republik, Taemon confronts the startling discovery that he alone can still use psi — and that it comes with a price. In an attempt to find his father and prevent war, Taemon and his friend Amma set out on a dangerous journey to the Republik. But what they find there is far from what they expected, and Taemon’s understanding of the world is challenged. Will his psi and his courage be enough to conquer the obstacles standing in the way of peace? |
| archons: Gnosticism, Judaism, and Egyptian Christianity Birger A. Pearson, In this important contribution to the scholarly study of Egyptian Gnosticism, Pearson situates Gnosticism in its historical context and describes its manifold relationships to Judaism, early Christianity, and ancient Platonism. Birger Pearson gives special attention to the controversial issue of the impact of Gnosticism on early Egyptian Christianity up to the Muslim conquest of the seventh century. Pearson is one of the most thorough and perceptive scholars in Gnostics studies today. The topics he deals with here are current and important, and no doubt will remain so for some time. This volume is a must for everyone in the field. —Douglas M. Parrott, University of California, Riverside Uniformly excellent contributions on the subject.... Students and teachers will benefit from Pearson's insightful and creative observations. —Marvin Meyer, Chapman College |

| archons: Donald J. Trump: The American Pericles? Tom Strabo, 2018-04-10 To understand true democracy, we need to go back to the people who invented it: the ancient Athenians. The greatest champion of democracy was Pericles, one of the most remarkable figures in history. What can we learn from Pericles and ancient Greek culture? Donald J. Trump is no Pericles. However, he is a political outsider, and not part of the Washington D.C. establishment. We need a change. Any change at all is now desirable. It's time for democracy to take a great leap forward, by revisiting its Athenian past! |
| archons: The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Stuart Douglas, 2018-04-19 This book presents a comparison of the Gnostic worldviews of Carl G. Jung and science-fiction author, Philip K. Dick, two figures who have done far more than most to revive an interest in the Gnostic tradition in the modern world. Despite profoundly different approaches - one was a depth psychologist whose unique insights and approach to psychology forced him to explore the depths of the unconscious in a way that inevitably led him to touch frequently on metaphysical or spiritual matters; the other was an author of science-fiction - there are some striking parallels between their unique Gnostic visions. With the relatively recent publication of both Jung's and Dick's personal journals - The Red Book (2009), and, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick (2011), respectively - in which they articulate their Gnostic visions, it seems timely to make this comparison. |

| archons: State and Society in the Palaiologan Era Marie-Hélène Blanchet, Raúl Estangüi Gómez, 2025-04-09 Often described as a period of decline and decadence, the history of the Byzantine Empire under the emperors of the Palaiologan dynasty (1261–1453) has undergone a considerable historiographical revival that has allowed this deeply negative image to be nuanced. State and Society in the Palaiologan Era brings together articles by some of the best specialists in the field and addresses various aspects of the functioning of the Byzantine state and society in the Palaiologan period. These contributions reflect not only the dynamism of the Byzantine society, but also the divisions and challenges created by the deep transformations in the socioeconomic conditions of the time, and by the Ottoman conquest of the Byzantine territory. They show the capacity of the Byzantine state and institutions to adapt to a new political context, one of territorial shrinkage and instability, as well as the consequences of this instability for the society of the time, for its economic and charitable activities, for its spirituality and beliefs, and for the splits and conflicts opposing different categories of social actors. This book aims to provide researchers with a series of studies whose methodology and results offer new insights into the complex, often contradictory phenomena that ran through the Byzantine world during the Palaiologan period. This collection of chapters will thus prove useful to all those interested in the Byzantine Empire at the end of the Middle Ages. |

| archons: Render Unto the Sultan Tom Papademetriou, 2015 Render Unto the Sultan revolutionizes the way we think about Ottoman administration of non-Muslims, and seeks to avoid false impressions ranging from oppression and intolerance to equally false impressions of peaceful coexistence and harmony. By reading Greek Orthodox subjects into the Ottoman social and economic context, this volume challenges the received wisdom of the Ottoman 'Millet System', and fills the void by offering an alternative account ofchurch-state relations that are more in line with Ottoman methods of conquest and rule. |

| archons: Routledge Handbook of Digital Media and Communication Leah A. Lievrouw, Brian D. Loader, 2020-11-16 What are we to make of our digital social lives and the forces that shape it? Should we feel fortunate to experience such networked connectivity? Are we privileged to have access to unimaginable amounts of information? Is it easier to work in a digital global economy? Or is our privacy and freedom under threat from digital surveillance? Our security and welfare being put at risk? Our politics undermined by hidden algorithms and misinformation? Written by a distinguished group of leading scholars from around the world, the Routledge Handbook of Digital Media and Communication provides a comprehensive, unique, and multidisciplinary exploration of this rapidly growing and vibrant field of study. The Handbook adopts a three-part structural framework for understanding the sociocultural impact of digital media: the artifacts or physical devices and systems that people use to communicate; the communicative practices in which they engage to use those devices, express themselves, and share meaning; and the organizational and institutional arrangements, structures, or formations that develop around those practices and artifacts. Comprising a series of essay-chapters on a wide range of topics, this volume crystallizes current knowledge, provides historical context, and critically articulates the challenges and implications of the emerging dominance of the network and normalization of digitally mediated relations. Issues explored include the power of algorithms, digital currency, gaming culture, surveillance, social networking, and connective mobilization. More than a reference work, this Handbook delivers a comprehensive, authoritative overview of the state of new media scholarship and its most important future directions that will shape and animate current debates. |

| archons: Not in His Image John Lamb Lash, 2006-11-15 Lash is capable of explaining the mind-bending concepts of Gnosticism and pagan mystery cults with bracing clarity and startling insight. . . . [His] arguments are often lively and entertaining.—Los Angeles Times In Not in His Image John Lamb Lash explains how a little-known messianic sect propelled itself into a dominant world power, systematically wiping out the great Gnostic spiritual teachers, the Druid priests, and the shamanistic healers of Europe and North Africa. Early Christians burned libraries and destroyed temples in an attempt to silence the ancient truth-tellers and keep their own secrets. But as Lash reveals the truth cannot be hidden or destroyed. Not in His Image delves deeply into the shadows of ancient Gnostic writings to reconstruct the story early Christians tried to scrub from the pages of history, exploring the richness of the ancient European Pagan spirituality–the Pagan Mysteries, the Great Goddess, Gnosis, the myths of Sophia and Gaia. Long before the birth of Christianity, monotheism was an anomaly; Europe and the Near East flourished under the divine guidance of Sophia, the ancient goddess of wisdom. The Earth was the embodiment of Sophia and thus sacred to the people who sought fulfillment in her presence. This ancient philosophy was threatening to the emerging salvation-based creed of Christianity that was based on patriarchal dominion over the Earth and lauded personal suffering as a path to the afterlife. As Derrick Jensen points out in the afterword, in Lash’s hands Jesus Christ emerges as the agent provocateur of the ruling classes. Sometimes a book changes the world. Not in His Image is such a book. It is clear, stimulating, well-researched, and sure to outrage the experts. . . . Get it. Improve not just your own life, but civilization’s chances for survival.—Roger Payne, author of Among Whales |

| archons: Cosmology and Fate in Gnosticism and Graeco-Roman Antiquity Nicola F. Denzey, 2013-04-09 In Cosmology and Fate in Gnosticism and Graeco-Roman Antiquity, Nicola Denzey Lewis dismisses Hans Jonas' mischaracterization of second-century Gnosticism as a philosophically-oriented religious movement built on the perception of the cosmos as negative or enslaving. A focused study on the concept of astrological fate in “Gnostic” writings including the Apocryphon of John, the recently-discovered Gospel of Judas, Trimorphic Protennoia, and the Pistis Sophia, this book reexamines their language of “enslavement to fate (Gk: heimarmene)” from its origins in Greek Stoicism, its deployment by the apostle Paul, to its later use by a variety of second-century intellectuals (both Christian and non-Christian). Denzey Lewis thus offers an informed and revisionist conceptual map of the ancient cosmos, its influence, and all those who claimed to be free of its potentially pernicious effects. |
| archons: Pistis Sophia John van den Berg, 2021-12-11 A Coptic manuscript from late antiquity is known by the scientific name Codex Askewianus, attributed to Anthony Askew. He acquired it at a London market in 1785. His heirs later entrusted it to the curators of the British Museum. At the end of the nineteenth century, the manuscript was translated and from then on became known as the Gospel of the Pistis Sophia. The German translation by Carl Schmitt from 1905 is the basis for the later English translations by G.R.S Mead from 1921 and that by Violet MacDermot from 1978. This completely revised English translation is also based on the work of Carl Schmitt. To make reading easier, titles have been given to the chapters and the codex is treated as one scripture where a thematic distinction in six themes is added. Recent research by Erin Evans has made it very plausible that the scripture originates from a congregation once active in Egypt. It contains part of their teachings from the third to the fourth century of our era. An older scripture by them is known as the books of Jeu. Both scriptures are written in Coptic, most likely based on an unknown Greek original. Coptic is a language that came into vogue in ancient Egypt. It is Old Egyptian, called Demotic, written with Greek characters, supplemented with seven extra characters. A word that occurs frequently in this English version is the word repent. The original Greek word for it is metanoia, which literally means meta-thought or beyond-thought. Thus repentance has the meaning of a state of consciousness beyond the human thought. To repent, then, is to come to an awareness of what is beyond the world of thought, beyond the human mind. The repentance of the Pistis Sophia thus takes her beyond the spiritual powers of the darkness, with their archons and emanations of Authades, the mighty human willpower. Through consciousness she enters the thirteenth eon, after an outpouring of light has taken her there, as if she has grown wings and no longer needs to touch the darkness. From then on she brings back to mankind the wisdom from beyond the human mind, which once had become forgotten. What this scripture wants to tell the reader in our modern times is that on the basis of the inner intention to truly get to know the mysteries, a power appears to help in this process. The myth tells us the story of Jesus with his disciples on the Mount of Olives after the crucifixion; after the power of Jesus connected itself with mankind. The disciples are the people who start becoming conscious of this liberating power. For it is the act from true awareness that makes all the powers of the saviour active in the human life in the world of space and time. As soon as someone decides to be a disciple, there is a readiness to let the saviour guide this inner life. This is why the entire scripture is written as a dialogue between Jesus and his disciples. This dialogue begins on the Mount of Olives. From this place the holy city of Jerusalem can be seen. It is the state of consciousness of the disciples who are preparing themselves to enter into the holy city: Jerusalem, the treasury of the light. When Jesus has spoken the first words in the midst of the disciples and the disciples understand their privileged position, Jesus ascends, surrounded by a threefold light. He comes back with his garments of light from the treasury of the light. These garments of light contain all the mysteries, that is, all the hidden knowledge that need to be revealed to the disciples in order to enable them to enter the treasury of light themselves. Thus they gain a higher level of consciousness, beyond thought. |
| archons: Specters of Paul Benjamin H. Dunning, 2011-02-07 The first Christians operated with a hierarchical model of sexual difference common to the ancient Mediterranean, with women considered to be lesser versions of men. Yet sexual difference was not completely stable as a conceptual category across the spectrum of formative Christian thinking. Rather, early Christians found ways to exercise theological creativity and to think differently from one another as they probed the enigma of sexually differentiated bodies. In Specters of Paul, Benjamin H. Dunning explores this variety in second- and third-century Christian thought with particular attention to the ways the legacy of the apostle Paul fueled, shaped, and also constrained approaches to the issue. Paul articulates his vision of what it means to be human primarily by situating human beings between two poles: creation (Adam) and resurrection (Christ). But within this framework, where does one place the figure of Eve—and the difference that her female body represents? Dunning demonstrates that this dilemma impacted a range of Christian thinkers in the centuries immediately following the apostle, including Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus of Lyons, Tertullian of Carthage, and authors from the Nag Hammadi corpus. While each of these thinkers attempts to give the difference of the feminine a coherent place within a Pauline typological framework, Dunning shows that they all fail to deliver fully on the coherence that they promise. Instead, sexual difference haunts the Pauline discourse of identity and sameness as the difference that can be neither fully assimilated nor fully ejected—a conclusion with important implications not only for early Christian history but also for feminist and queer philosophy and theology. |
