Description:
How should we read a text that does not exist, or present a play
the manuscript of which is lost and the identity of whose author
cannot be established for certain?
Such is the enigma posed by Cardenio ? a play
performed in England for the first time in 1612 or 1613 and
attributed forty years later to Shakespeare (and Fletcher). Its
plot is that of a ?novella? inserted into Don Quixote,
a work that circulated throughout the major countries of Europe,
where it was translated and adapted for the theatre. In England,
Cervantes? novel was known and cited even before it was
translated in 1612 and had inspired Cardenio.
But there is more at stake in this enigma. This was a time when,
thanks mainly to the invention of the printing press, there was a
proliferation of discourses. There was often a reaction when it was
feared that this proliferation would become excessive, and many
writings were weeded out. Not all were destined to survive, in
particular plays for the theatre, which, in many cases, were never
published. This genre, situated at the bottom of the literary
hierarchy, was well suited to the existence of ephemeral works.
However, if an author became famous, the desire for an archive of
his works prompted the invention of textual relics, the restoration
of remainders ruined by the passing of time or, in order to fill in
the gaps, in some cases, even the fabrication of forgeries. Such
was the fate of Cardenio in the eighteenth century.
Retracing the history of this play therefore leads one to wonder
about the status, in the past, of works today judged to be
canonical. In this book the reader

Read all of his books, you won't be dissapointed.
Format: Paperback
I love Dr. Heiser books, but I wanted to step back from the spiritual realm and reconnect with scripture again. This book is light, easy to read, and like all his content, so eye opening. I am alway slapping myself in the forehead and wondering how I didn't know or notice things. "I Dare You Not to Bore Me With the Bible" is another of his books that I'm reading simultaneously. If you want to go deeper in Bible Study, this is the book. It's helped me forgive a lot of the Bible "hangups" I have that were very cultural or significant for reasons I missed. Get those 2 books (this and the one I mention above), and then when you're ready to really have your understanding of G-d and the Bible blown out of the water, move on to Unseen Realm, Reversing Hermon, Supernatural, and all of the others. If you desire to understand the Bible, and not just show up on Sunday, read everything by Dr. Michael Heiser, his website is a great resource too. So grateful for the work he does.

Excellent tool for gospel workers!
Format: Kindle
For those of us who want to contextualize the gospel in pagan contexts, Dr. Michael S. Heiser helps us get beyond our own cultural context to the ancient cultural context of the Bible itself. One could spend years and years researching the ancient contexts of the Bible, but for workers with families and careers other than Dr. Heiser's, the time needed would far exeed what is practical.
Thankfully, there is a solution: Dr. Heiser has done a lot of the distilling needed to grasp the basic cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the Bible writers. After presenting the Unseen Realm, Reversing Hermon and I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible, he has done one better here in the Bible Unfiltered. Why do I say better? Well, I would say that as time has gone on, Dr. Heiser's ability to communicate complex topics for the average layman has improved markedly.
Get this book, let it whet your appetite, and then please do get Unseen Realm and Reversing Hermon. They will help you to understand the Bible, contextualize the gospel, and offer an entrance to a fantastic intellectual and spiritual journey of a lifetime.

Practical, elegant, and very functional.
Size: Paper Towel Holder - Standard Design
I absolutely loved this paper towel holder. It features a modern stainless steel design that looks beautiful in the kitchen and matches everything. The base is quite heavy, so it doesn't slide around or tip over when you tear off a sheet—which is incredibly important. The addition of the spray bottle is an excellent bonus. It’s perfect for keeping water, vinegar, or a cleaning solution close at hand, allowing you to do a quick cleanup while you’re cooking or wiping down the countertops. Plus, it’s easy to refill and use. Another feature I appreciated is the side arm, which helps keep the roll in place and prevents it from unraveling on its own. It is well-made and durable. Overall, it is a very practical product that saves space and makes things much more convenient in the kitchen.

Nice and handy!
Size: Paper Towel Holder - Standard Design
Needed a sturdy paper towel holder for one hand operation. This fit the bill. I really like that I can just put some cleaner of choice in the middle to always have on hand; makes clean up a breeze. Would definitely recommend!
