Church in the home Wednesday evenings 17th Feb 2010

The bible is an eastern Book.

According to the inside back of the dust cover of the book Orientalisms of the bible Volume 1, by Bishop K.C. Pillai, it states that Dr. K.C. Pillai is a bishop at large of the Indian Orthodox Church. He toured the USA on a special mission to acquaint Christians with the orientalisms of the Bible. A Hindu convert to Christianity, Dr. is widely recognised as an authority on the Eastern culture of the bible.
I do know that there was a Volume 2 of the Orientalisms of the Bible by Bishop K.C. Pillai, as well which I had but I cannot find anymore in my library,
According to Wikipedia, his books are;

Light Through an Eastern Window, Robert Speller & Sons; Publishers (1963) ISBN 0-8315-0057-3
Orientalisms of the Bible - Volumes 1 & 2, Munkus Publishing Company, INC. (1969, 1974)

Further from the Courtright web site, (http://www.cortright.org/key6.htm) the following can be gleaned,
Old and New Testament Orientalisms - Teachings of Bishop K.C. Pillai - Compiled by Reverend Bo Reahard - October 1980.

In the 1980’s there were certain classes available via the Way International, on orientalisms, which were taped recordings of Bishop K.C. Pillai. The Indian accent took some getting used to but after a short while the words of the Bishop and not his accent absorbed you. His practical approach to the bible embellished with wonderful eastern insight to the bible was fascinating.
The Way international had somehow obtained copies of Bishop K.C. Pillai’s work and also the rights to publish and play them.
Two weeks ago (app 16th Feb 2010) a letter came in the post from “The Geers” in the USA. This special letter contained a complimentary copy of a 2 part DVD set upon which were recorded the many teachings or sharings of the Bishop.

The very next Wednesday evening (the 17th of Feb 2010) we played one section, the one covering the renewing of our strength like that of the eagle.
