Porphyry's Against The Christians: The Literary Remains By R. Joseph Hoffman
A Sunshine for Women's Book Summary Read excerpts from this attemptedreconstruction of porphyry's _Against the Chrisitans_. Sunshine's
http://www.pinn.net/~sunshine/book-sum/porphyry.html

Extractions: Oxford University Press 1994 Fifteen volumes long, Against the Christians was written by the Roman pagan Porphyry circa 280 and was an educated man's studied attack on Christian theology. An exceedingly powerful and successful work, it and commentaries on it were condemned by the imperial church in 448 and burned. Only remnants which were contained in books that were primarily about other matters have survived until the present. As you will see, Porphyry used a literal interpretation of the Bible, a scathing wit, and an attack on Christian's intelligence, integrity, and morals (piety, loyalty to the state, and character) to undermine the new, up-start religion, Christianity. This book is divided into 2 parts: part one contains translations of Porphyry's writings while part two contains Hoffman's analysis of Porphyry's writings. 1) Referring to Mark 16:18, Porphyry writes: "In another passage Jesus says: "These signs shall witness to those who believe: they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. And if they drink any deadly drug, it will hurt them in no way." Well then: the proper thing to do would be to use this process as a test for those aspiring to be priests, bishops or church officers. A deadly drug should be put in front of them and [only] those who survive drinking it should be elevated in the ranks [of the church].

Extractions: CHALDEAN MAGI After the same manner the Persians, mystically signifying the descent of the soul into an inferior nature and its ascent into the intelligible world, initiate the priest or mystic in a place which they denominate a cave. For according to Eubulus, Zoroaster first of all among the neighboring mountains of Persia, consecrated a natural cave, florid and watered with fountains, in honour of Mithras the father of all things: a cave in the opinion of Zoroaster being a resemblance of the world fabricated by Mithras. But the things contained in the cavern, being disposed by certain intervals according to symmetry and order, were symbols of the elements and climates of the world. We find too that after Zoroaster it was usual with others to perform initiatory rites in caves and dens, whether natural or artificial. Porphyry.

Porphyry later became a follower of the neo-Platonism of Plotinus , of whom he wrote a biography. He was an opponent of Christianity and wrote a book against it which has not survived. He wrote widely on religion and philosophy, including musical theory. His most famous book is about Pythagoras , named Vita Pythagorae or Life of Pythagoras (which is not to be confused with the book with the same name by Iamblichus

http://www.milestoneimports.com/porphry.htm

Extractions: Installation Porphyry is a type of volcanic, igneous rock which, along with granite and other rock formations, make up approximately 95% of the world's crust. One of many large formations occurs in Guanajuato, Mexico and is recognized for its beautiful rusty red and gold-buff colors. These rocks, which differ greatly in their chemical composition and formation, are the result of intense volcanic activity. This began 260 million years ago and carried over for several million more years, alternating between phases of eruption and inactivity. Porphyry is different than granite, which cooled from its molten state into mainly solid formations, in that as it cooled, it fractured in both vertical and horizontal fissures.

Extractions: Porphyry is a type of volcanic rock belonging to the Atesina porphyry platform, an enormous complex of volcanic rocks in Italy's Trentino Alto Adige region. These rocks, which differ greatly in their chemical composition and formation, are the result of intense volcanic activity which developed with linear eruptions through numerous fractures. This began 260 million years ago in the Lower Permian and carried on for several million more years, alternating between phases of eruptions and inactivity. Porphyry comes from ignimbrites , which is a deposit in these rocks from the volcanic activity. Ignimbrites are flows of gaseous-liquid mixtures between 5 and 20 metres thick with a rather constant chemical composition and which constituted the ignimbritic unit which is hundreds of metres thick. At present porphyry is worked only in one of these units (classified as rhyolitic ignimbrite) characterised by very neat vertical fissuring and percussion fracturing which are necessary for working porphyry; because of the lack of stratification, it is possible to work a thickness of about 100-200 metres. The chemical composition of porphyry (over 70% silica, about 14% alumina, 8% alkali and small percentages of iron, calcium and magnesium), its minerals composition (quartz, sanidine and plagioclase crystals with smaller amounts of biotite and of pyroxenes in a vitreous paste) and its distinctive structure, as well as stratification, determine porphyry's technical characteristics (high compression breaking point, high resistance to chemical agents, high sliding and rolling friction) which make it one of the most important materials for paving and facing in Europe.

Extractions: An analysis © Stephen Ronan, 1998 Introduction Letter to Anebo Epistula ad Anebonem On the Mysteries De mysteriis ) are two of the most important religious and philosophical documents of Late Antiquity. Porphyry and Iamblichus were both highly esteemed and influential Pagan Neoplatonic philosophers whose views, especially their religious views, have not tended to receive a fair and unprejudiced treatment, and this is true of Iamblichus most of all. Oddly enough, despite the reputations of these documents, a careful analysis will show that neither of them are primarily concerned with magic. What they are concerned with is traditional Pagan religion, its apparent contradictions, and its relationship to philosophy.

Extractions: Porphyry Copper Deposits Porphyry copper deposits provide more than 50% of the worlds copper from over 100 producing mines. Their close relatives the porphyry moly deposits produce 70% of the world's moly. Both deposit types will be discussed separately, but they share many characteristics and are formed in somewhat similar manners. Distribution The Figure shows that most porphyry copper deposits are of Mesozoic to Cenozoic age and occur in association with volcanic mountain chains at or near destructive plate margins. The exceptions are a few Paleozoic deposits in the U.S.S.R and the United States which may themselves be related to Paleozoic plate margins. The largest concentration of porphyry copper deposits in the world is in the southwestern U.S. To date 88 deposits have been identified with most having formed 58-72 MY ago. Form Typical porphyry copper deposits are cylindrical, stock-like composite masses having elongate outcrops 1.5 x 2 km in diameter with an outer shell of medium to coarse grained equigranular rock and a core of similar composition that is porphyritic. Petrology of the Host Rocks The most common ore hosts are felsic plutonic rocks ranging in composition from quartz monzonite to granodiorite. However, a second clustering of deposits occurs in rocks of dioritic to syenitic composition.
Porphyry Moly And Tin Deposits
porphyry Moly and Tin Deposits. The nomenclature is confusing since one typeis termed simply porphyry moly while the second type is the Climax type.
http://geology.csupomona.edu/drjessey/class/GSC433/Moly.htm

Extractions: Porphyry Moly and Tin Deposits In addition to copper there are other porphyly related types of mineralization, most notably molybdenum and tin. While each of the three types of porphyry deposits contain appreciable quantities of the other elements, they are nonetheless geologically distinct enough to constitute end members of the porphyry spectrum. Originally it was thought that all moly deposits belong to a single group. It is now accepted that there are two subtypes. The nomenclature is confusing since one type is termed simply porphyry moly while the second type is the Climax type. Porphyry Moly Subtype These deposits are associated with I-type granitic intrusives of granodiorite to quartz monzonite composition. As such they represent slightly more felsic differentiates of I-type porphyry copper deposits which are associated with diorites. The only ore mineral is molybdenite, occuring as veinlets and disseminations. The grade of the deposits is characteristically low (0.1-0.2% MoS Alteration is inconspicuous, but widespread potassic alteration may be present. Since the rock is initially high in potassium it would be very difficult to detect the potassic alteration. Some silicification immediately adjacent to moly veinlets has also been noted. Ore bodies are sheet-like to tabular. Deposits range in age from 30-80 MY and occur in association with Mesozoic to recent subduction zones, particularly those with steep angles. No simple genetic model seems to fit all of the deposits in this subgroup. Clearly they are related to subduction and evidence from fluid inclusions and isotopes favors a genesis similar if not identical to the diorite type porphyry copper deposits. An unanswered question is the relationship of the moly deposits to the copper deposits. Quartz Hill in Alaska lies less than 50 km from an active trench leading some geologists to suggest that porphyry moly deposits form at shallower depths nearer the trench than do porphyry copper deposits. However, in the Andes where both moly and copper deposits have been extensively mapped the moly deposits lie in a belt to the east of the copper deposits and farther from the trench. Unfortunately, age differences between the copper and moly belts as well as changes in the angle of subduction complicate the picture in the Andes.
