| ARTICLES RELATED TO book burning | | | |  book burning: Encyclopedia II - Book of Obadiah - ThemesThe overwhelming theme found in Obadiah is the destruction of enemies of God’s people. Unlike some other prophets, Obadiah does not present a “turn or burn” message, simply a message of inevitable doom as a consequence of previous actions. A Christian with a knowledge of the New Testament of the Bible would say that although God’s grace and forgiveness abound in situations, there are consequences which result from bad decisions. Even more than all this, Obadiah shows that judgment falls even within the family of God, as Israel and Ed ...

| | | | | book burning: Encyclopedia II - Loudun - Miscellaneous The 1952 book titled The Devils of Loudun by Aldous Huxley tells the story of the trial of Urbain Grandier, priest of the town who was tortured and burned at the stake in 1634. He was accused of being in league with the devil and having seduced an entire convent of nuns, in what is seen by many scholars as one of the most sensational cases of mass possession and sexual hysteria in recorded history.
Based on Huxley's book, in 1969, Krzysztof Penderecki created an opera of the same name. The following year, Ken Russell directed the film The Devils, also based on Huxley's book.

Without government approval printing was not allowed. It is sometimes called prior restraint when a court or other governmental body prevents a person from speaking or publishing. This is sometimes viewed as worse than punishment after someone speaks as in libel suits.

| | | | | book burning: Encyclopedia II - Censorship - State secrets and unwanted attention Explicit wartime censorship is carried out with the intention of preventing the release of information that might be advantageous to an enemy. Typically it involves obfuscation of times or locations, or delaying the release of information (e.g. the objective of an operation) until it is of no possible use to enemy forces. Mention of weapons and equipment is another favourite area for censorship. The moral issues here are often seen as somewhat different when release of tactical information may present a greater risk of casualtie ...

| | | | | book burning: Encyclopedia II - Censorship - Terms "Censorship" comes from the ancient Roman word "censor". In Rome, the censor had two duties, to count the citizens and to supervise their morals. The term "census" is also derived from this word.
An early published reference to the term "whitewash" dates back to 1762 in a Boston Evening Post article. In 1800 the word was used publicly in a political context, when a Philadelphia Aurora editorial said that "if you do not whitewash President Adams speedily, the Democrats, like swarms of flies, will bespatter him all over, and make you both as speckled as a dir ...

One conception is of eternal suffocating heat, being taunted by demons for all eternity. (Actually, the Christian prophetic book of Revelation says that all demons will also be damned)
Another conception, derived from the scripture about Gehenna is simply that people will be discarded (burned), as ...

| | | | | book burning: Encyclopedia II - Moses - The horned Moses Due to a statement towards the end of the book of Exodus (at 34:29-35), in which Moses is depicted as having been disfigured due to his direct encounter with God, various traditions grew up as to what the disfigurement was. Jonathan Kirsch, in his book Moses: A Life, thought that, since Moses subsequently had to wear a veil to hide it, the disfigurement was a sort of "divine radiation burn".
There is one longstanding and possibly pagan tradition that Moses grew horns. This is derived from a mistranslation of the Hebrew p ...
