Pilgrimage: A Spiritual and Cultural Journey

E£520.00

This concept of the Christian pilgrimage has its origins in the Exodus of the Jews from ancient Egypt, but it has changed and adapted with the passing centuries. In medieval times millions of pilgrims spent months traveling across Europe to visit holy cities and shrines, and today a modern revival has blurred the lines between pilgrimage and tourism and made places such as Iona, Taize and Santiago di Compostella contemporary meccas.

      The Legends of the Jews Vol. 2 From Joseph to the Exodus The Legends of the Jews Vol. 2 From Joseph to the Exodus
      LOUIS GINZBERG

      The Legends of the Jews Vol. 2 From Joseph to the Exodus

      E£535.00

      One of the masterworks of twentieth century Jewish scholarship was Louis Ginzberg's Legends of the Jews, or, more accurately, Legends of the Bible... For scholars, Ginzberg's book is a monumental work of research. But for the general reader, it is a gateway into a world, a world where the imagination roamed and the spirit was free... The Bible will never be the same for you again, if you do.

              Responding to families’ questions and fears with compassion.

              Typically the patient―and his or her course of treatment―are the natural focal points when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). But Alzheimer’s is an equally debilitating illness for family members and caregivers who must come to terms with its far-reaching emotional and physical burdens.

              In this handbook, clinicians are taught how to navigate the many interpersonal issues at the heart of AD―that is, how to work with the families and friends of the patient.
