Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the English poet John Milton. The poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men". Milton's story has two narrative arcs, one about Satan and the other following Adam and Eve. It begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and banished to Hell, or, as it is also called in the poem, Tartarus. In Pandemonium, Satan employs his rhetorical skill to organize his followers; he is aided by Mammon and Beelzebub. Belial and Moloch are also present. At the end of the debate, Satan volunteers to poison the newly created Earth and God's new and most favored creation, Mankind. He braves the dangers of the Abyss alone in a manner reminiscent of Odysseus or Aeneas. After an arduous traversal of the Chaos outside Hell, he enters God's new material World, and later the Garden of Eden. At several points in the poem, an Angelic War over Heaven is recounted from different perspectives. Satan's rebellion follows the epic convention of large-scale warfare. The battles between the faithful angels and Satan's forces take place over three days. At the final battle, the Son of God single-handedly defeats the entire legion of angelic rebels and banishes them from Heaven. Following this purge, God creates the World, culminating in his creation of Adam and Eve. While God gave Adam and Eve total freedom and power to rule over all creation, He gave them one explicit command: not to eat from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil on penalty of death. The story of Adam and Eve's temptation and fall is a fundamentally different, new kind of epic: a domestic one. Adam and Eve are presented for the first time[citation needed] in Christian literature as having a full relationship while still being without sin. They have passions and distinct personalities. Satan, disguised in the form of a serpent, successfully tempts Eve to eat from the Tree by preying on her vanity and tricking her with rhetoric. Adam, learning that Eve has sinned, knowingly commits the same sin. He declares to Eve that since she was made from his flesh, they are bound to one another ‒ if she dies, he must also die. In this manner, Milton portrays Adam as a heroic figure, but also as a greater sinner than Eve, as he is aware that what he is doing is wrong. After eating the fruit, Adam and Eve have lustful sex. At first, Adam is convinced that Eve was right in thinking that eating the fruit would be beneficial. However, they soon fall asleep and have terrible nightmares, and after they awake, they experience guilt and shame for the first time. Realizing that they have committed a terrible act against God, they engage in mutual recrimination. [more]

UNFOLDING MAN’S INVOLVEMENT IN THE SPIRIT WORLD PARTAKING IN THE SPIRIT WORLD” is Volume 1 in a series of two volumes on “Life in the spirit world”. This classic on deliverance and spiritual warfare is the result of several years of diligent study by Dr. Venture O. Omor. The question of man’s involvement in the activities of the spirit world has long aroused the curiosity of many believers in Christ and the author Dr. Venture O. Omor. And in the very words of the author he said, “Many Christians have been unable to differentiate between spiritism and spirituality". After years of prayerful study of the bible, he discovered that there are three major spirit worlds in the universe, viz- The spirit world of God, The spirit world of man, The spirit world of satan. This book is quite a great revelation on life in the spirit world. [more]

» „Tessa?“, die Stimme meines Vaters klang nie so zögernd. Ich formte meine Augen zu Schlitzen. „Was hat das alles zu bedeuten?!“ Er seufzte und senkte wehmütig seinen Blick. „Ich hab deine Seele an den Teufel verkauft.“ Meine Augen weiteten sich ungläubig. „Du hast was?“« Die junge, temperamentvolle Tessa Grantham wird von ihrem Vater in eine Dämonenschule geschickt, um ihr Disziplin zu lehren. Das passt ihr so gut wie gar nicht. Doch das ändert nichts an der Entscheidung. An der Schule wird sie gleich in einen Streit konfrontiert, was ihre Begeisterung für die Schule nicht gerade hob. Bis sie auf den sanften und ruhigen Cem trifft, der sie mit seiner angenehmen Art umschmeichelt. Aber sie trifft auch auf sein Gegenstück. Den wilden, unberechenbaren Iron, den sie am liebsten eine verpasst hätte. Doch sie kann seiner verführerischen Art nicht widerstehen. Hin und her gerissen von ihren Gefühlen erfährt sie noch von ihren Vater, dass ihre Seele von nun an dem Teufel gehört. Der sie anfangs nicht für seine dunklen Machenschaften braucht und deshalb ihre Seele eine Zeitspanne lang an seinen Sohn überträgt... [Letztes Update: 10.04.2012] [more]
