    The Dead Sea Scrolls: Discovery and Impact, Hörbuch, Digital, 302min
    Why are we so fascinated by the Dead Sea Scrolls? In the mid-20th century, several Bedouin shepherds happened upon ancient scrolls housed in a cave. These documents, called the Dead Sea Scrolls, are often considered the most important manuscript discovery of the modern era. A veil of mystery, however, shrouds these ancient scrolls. In this 12-lecture series, you will join one of the world's leading experts on the Dead Sea Scrolls in a fascinating journey through the history and significance of these astounding documents. You will gain a solid understanding of what the scrolls actually are and of the community associated with them. You will begin with the discovery of the manuscripts in 11 caves near the remains of Khirbet Qumran, a place where the people who possessed the scrolls attempted to live by the teachings in them. You will survey the physical layout and the archaeology of Qumran while learning about its history and the identity of the people who used it. Next, you will explore the hundreds of scrolls, examining their meaning and implications for the texts of the books now in the Old Testament. Learning about the scrolls will also aid in understanding the New Testament; as they were written during the time of Jesus, they allow you to appreciate more fully the world in which He and his first followers lived. This is a must-have course for anyone wishing to learn more about the Old Testament, the historical Jesus, and biblical history. Photo courtesy of Matson Photo Service. Language: English.

    Hölderlin in Tübingen, Hörbuch, Digital, 80min
    Dieses Hörbuch besteht aus zwei Sendungen des SWR zu Hölderlins Zeit in Tübingen: In der Produktion "Die gefährliche Krankheit Poesie" setzt sich Dieter Schlesak mit dem späten Hölderlin auseinander, dem Hölderlin der Tübinger Jahre. Im Vordergrund steht jedoch nicht die psychische Krankheit, die ihm nachgesagt wurde, sondern das soziale Umfeld, die gescheiterte Revolution und die Freundschaft mit dem Kammerrat Sinclair, dem Hochverrat vorgeworfen wird. Als Sinclair aus der Haft auf der Solitude entlassen wird, ist Hölderlin bereits bei dem Sattlermeister Latter in Tübingen untergebracht, ein Arzt hat attestiert, sein Wahn sei in Raserei übergegangen. Dieses Attest bewahrt Hölderlin vor dem Hochverratsprozess und liefert ihn der endgültigen Einsamkeit aus. Regie: Uwe Schareck. Die zweite Sendung "Die Stimme Lotte Zimmers oder Die Realität des Lebens" hat folgenden Inhalt: Sie lebte als Kind und Mädchen in einer Hausgemeinschaft mit Friedrich Hölderlin; als junge Frau hat sie ihn am Ende alleinverantwortlich betreut. Die Hölderlin-Philologie übersah Lotte Zimmer, jene letzte Vertraute des Dichters, die Texte noch tintenfrisch lesen konnte, die nun zum größten Teil verloren sind. Angelika Overath verfolgt die Spur eines philosophischen Stammbuchblatts von Hölderlins später Hand, "Von der Realität des Lebens", das Lotte Zimmer, mit einer Bemerkung versehen, 25 Jahre nach seinem Tod einem ihrer studentischen Hausgäste schickte. In den Briefen der jungen Lotte Zimmer, (darunter die Briefe, die erst 1993 in Nürtingen entdeckt wurden), wie in denen, die sie als alte Frau schrieb, lebt die Stimme der Schreinerstochter fort, die mit Hölderlin sprach und die von einer anderen alltäglichen Realität des Lebens erzählt. Regie: Claus Villinger. deutsch. Norbert Beilharz, Enrique Keil, Charles Wirths. https://samples.audible.de/bk/swrm/000248/bk_swrm_000248_sample.mp3.

    The Last Tribe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1362min
    Imagine being alone in the world, one of only a handful to survive a global pandemic. Not only do you struggle to find food, water, and shelter but you also deal with the sadness and losing everyone you know and everything you have. Fourteen-year-old Greg Dixon is living that nightmare. Attending boarding school outside of Boston, he is separated from his family when a pandemic strikes. His classmates and teachers are dead, rotting in a dormitory-turned-morgue steps from his room. The nights are getting colder, and his food has run out. The last message from his father is to get away from the city and to meet at his grandparents' town in remote New Hampshire. Knowing the impending New England winter could be the final nail in his coffin, Greg packs what little food he can find and sets off on his 100-mile walk north with the unwavering belief that his family is alive and will join him. As the fast-moving and deadly disease strips away family and friends, Greg's father, John, is trapped in South Carolina. Roadblocks, a panic-stricken population, and winter make it impossible for him to get to his son. John and his three brothers appear to be immune, but they are scattered across a locked-down United States, forced to wait for the end of humanity before travelling to the mountains of New Hampshire. Spring arrives, and the Dixons make their way north to find young Greg. They meet others along the way, slowly forming the last tribe of humanity from the few people still alive in the Northeast. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Brick.

    Quest for Meaning: Values, Ethics, and the Modern Experience, Hörbuch, Digital, 733min
    Is there an ethics that we can all agree on without stifling pluralism and freedom? What would such an ethics look like? Most important, how should you, as a thoughtful person, find your way among the moral puzzles of the modern world and its cacophony of voices and opinions? These are just some of the engaging and perplexing questions you'll tackle as you join Professor Kane for this thought-provoking, 24-lecture examination of the problems surrounding ethics in the modern world. The contemporary issues you'll consider include conflicts between public and private morality, the degree to which the law should enforce morality, the teaching of values in the schools, the role of religion in public life, the limits of liberty and privacy, individualism versus community, and the loss of shared values and the resulting discontent about politics and public discourse. Professor Kane's approach is as searching and comprehensive as any you could ask for. His lectures range over a rich array of literary, religious, and philosophical sources representing thousands of years of civilization. Most intriguingly, they spur you to ponder the possibility of recovering the ancient quest for wisdom and virtue in a way that respects the insights of modern thought and the achievements of modern pluralism. Whatever your thinking on such questions, whatever your own personal question for true meaning, you can rest assured that it will be immeasurably enriched by the harvest of reflection you glean from these compelling lectures. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Robert H. Kane.

    The Essays: Or Counsels Civil and Moral , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min
    Francis Bacon (1561-1626), 1st Viscount St Albans, Attorney General and then Lord Chancellor of England, was an immensely learned, clever and ambitious man, with considerable political influence during the later years of Queen Elizabeth I and through almost two decades of the reign of her successor James I. However, he was also a philosopher with a wide interest in science, medicine and the classification of knowledge. Throughout his life he wrote a series of essays - following the manner set particularly by Montaigne, though extending back to Aristotle and others - the first 10 of which appeared in 1597. In 1625, the year before his death, he produced a final collection comprising 58 essays entitled Essayes or Counsels, Civill and Morall, which has remained one of his most important and popular books. In the collection he considers a wide range of subjects, beginning with 'Of Truth', 'Of Death', 'Of Religion' and concluding with 'Of Anger', 'Of Vicissitude of Things'. A final work, 'A Fragment of an Essay of Fame', found in papers after his death, is now generally added to the main collection and is included in this recording. The essays are, variably, witty, wise, entertaining and informative. Being a man very much of the world, who enjoyed and relished prominence and power, his ruminations centre on the practicalities of everyday life. 'Of Studies': ‘Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.’ 'Of Suspicions': ‘Suspicions amongst thoughts are like bats amongst birds, they ever fly by twilight.’ 'Of Youth and Age': ‘Young men, in the conduct and manage of actions, embrace more than they can hold, stir more than they can quiet... Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.’ 'Of Riches': ‘I cannot call riches better than the baggage of virtue; the Roman word is better ungekürzt.
