Easter week will bring us an excellent opportunity to learn about the
application of history to theology (and vice versa) and to
contemporary problems. The Rt. Rev. James Heiser of Repristination
Press (among other things!) will be bringing his A Time for Every
Purpose Under Heaven: An Exploration of Sacred History book tour to
three cities in Arkansas:
Rogers, Arkansas — Tuesday, 2 April 2013
Harrison, Arkansas — Wednesday, 3 April 2013
Conway, Arkansas — Friday, 5 April 2013
NOTE: Each class is a whole in itself; you don't have to go to three
sessions in three cities!
This class will be of benefit to pastors, but ALSO to laity high
school age and above; home schoolers and home schooled children,
especially, are greatly encouraged to attend. The following snippet
will give you a taste of what is included:
What is history? For many post-modern men—maltreated and miseducated
by substandard pseudo-educators in the holding pens which society
calls “public schools”—history is just a string of disassociated
events which reduces to a catalog of ‘one blasted thing after
another.’ Taught to avoid any awareness of a transcendent significance
associated with any event and to simply become immersed in fleeting
concerns, the cultivated ignorance of history has partially blinded
its victims to the reality which surrounds them from before the moment
of birth. In an age when the value of life is measured only by the
perception of personal material affluence, the most fundamental needs
of human beings have been woefully neglected. Ours is a dark age, in
the proper sense of the concept. It is an age in which those who claim
to know are often the most ignorant—ignorant of the sacred history
which undergirds the history of the race—and thus men are ignorant of
who they are, when they are, and where they are. An awareness of the
darkness of the present age offers the possibility of repentance, and
a return to a civilization worthy of the term.
The book is divided into the following sections: "Time and the Church—
An Exploration of Sacred, Secular, and Mythological Conceptions of
History"; "The Seven Deadly Values of Contemporary Culture—The Shape
of the Enemy's Weapons Against Our People Today"; and "The Thousand
Year Descent of the West"…each of which are, frankly, fascinating:
having heard Pr. Heiser speak to each of these topics in a variety of
venues over the years, I was still consistently delighted to read the
'finished product' and am personally looking forward to the great gift
I am getting with this class (namely, that I do get to go to all three
sessions!).
The class will run from 9:00 until between 4:00 and 4:30 each day.
If you come to the Harrison class and feel like staying for a free
dinner in Everton, Arkansas, we would love to have you (but would
really love to know you're staying before the day of the class!).
The $25.00 fee for the class INCLUDES A COPY OF THE BOOK.
Other Repristination Press titles will be on display for you to
examine and purchase.
As seating space will be limited, PLEASE, if you would like to attend
any of these sessions, let me know by return email to
[email protected] as soon as possible!
