Book Description
An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers—with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous. "[A] rollicking journey through every aspect of Yahweh’s body, from top to bottom (yes, that too) and from inside out ... Ms. Stavrakopoulou has almost too much fun.”—The Economist The scholarship of theology and religion teaches us that the God of the Bible was without a body, only revealing himself in the Old Testament in words mysteriously uttered through his prophets, and in the New Testament in the body of Christ. The portrayal of God as corporeal and masculine is seen as merely metaphorical, figurative, or poetic. But, in this revelatory study, Francesca Stavrakopoulou presents a vividly corporeal image of God: a human-shaped deity who walks and talks and weeps and laughs, who eats, sleeps, feels, and breathes, and who is undeniably male. Here is a portrait—arrived at through the author's close examination of and research into the Bible—of a god in ancient myths and rituals who was a product of a particular society, at a particular time, made in the image of the people who lived then, shaped by their own circumstances and experience of the world. From head to toe—and every part of the body in between—this is a god of stunning surprise and complexity, one we have never encountered before.

Book Description
From the social philosopher and New York Times–bestselling author of The Sane Society: An analysis of the Old Testament as a revolutionary humanist work. The Old Testament is one of the most carefully studied books in the world’s history. It is also one of the most misunderstood. This founding text of the world’s three largest religions is also, Erich Fromm argues, an impressive radical humanist text. He sees the stories of mankind’s transition from divided clans to united brotherhood as a tribute to the human power to overcome. Filled with hopeful symbolism, You Shall Be As Gods shows how the Old Testament and its tradition is an inspiring ode to human potential. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

Book Description
They Shot Them Down Like Rabbits . . . September 30, 1919. The United States teetered on the edge of a racial civil war. During the previous three months, racial fighting had erupted in twenty-five cities. And deep in the Arkansas Delta, black sharecroppers were meeting in a humble wooden church, forming a union and making plans to sue their white landowners. A car pulled up outside the church . . . What happened next has long been shrouded in controversy. In this heartbreaking but ultimately triumphant story of courage and will, journalist Robert Whitaker carefully documents–and exposes–one of the worst racial massacres in American history. On the Laps of Gods is the story of the 1919 Elaine massacre in Hoop Spur, Arkansas, during which white mobs and federal troops killed more than one hundred black men, women, and children; of the twelve black men subsequently condemned to die; of Scipio Africanus Jones, a former slave and tenacious black attorney; and of Moore v. Dempsey, the case Jones brought to the Supreme Court, which set the legal stage for the civil rights movement half a century later.

Book Description
How the billionaire owners of Hobby Lobby are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to make America a “Bible nation” The Greens of Oklahoma City—the billionaire owners of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores—are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in an ambitious effort to increase the Bible’s influence on American society. In Bible Nation, Candida Moss and Joel Baden provide the first in-depth investigative account of the Greens’ sweeping Bible projects. Moss and Baden tell the story of the Greens’ efforts to place a Bible curriculum in public schools; their rapid acquisition of an unparalleled collection of biblical antiquities; their creation of a closely controlled group of scholars to study and promote the collection; and their construction of a $500 million Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Revealing how all these initiatives promote a very particular set of beliefs about the Bible, the book raises serious questions about the trade in biblical antiquities, the integrity of academic research, and the place of private belief in public life.

Book Description
Anatomy is the science that deals with dissecting the human body for the purpose of studying its structure. The structure could be correlated with function and also with dysfunction. There are sciences and procedures for dissecting all other living creatures to study their structure and function. Can we apply the same procedure to the Gods? If Gods are the supreme beings, that created all the living beings on earth, including humans, then it is interesting to consider studying their physical, social, scientific and genetic attributes. Several dazzling questions emerge here: Can we really study the anatomy of a God or Gods, the same way as we study the structure of the human body or any living being? Certainly, we cannot. Because they are not present physically with us right now. Can we find other indirect way to achieve our mission? Or, we cannot ? And if we cannot, why? Is it because they are unseen or is it just a taboo? What is their structure and do they interact with each other and with other beings? What controls their behaviors and social life? Do they get married and produce children? Can they get ill and die? These questions and many others shall be dealt with in this book. The three heavenly religions; Judaism- Christianity- and Islam, attributed our presence to being created by a single God. But Gods are older than these religions. If we go back in time, we will find that Gods were present in older religions such as: Ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Akadian and Sumerian religions. Going back further in time, there were the olden heavenly Gods; the Annunaki/ Nephilim/ ancient astronauts. Sumerians believed that humans were created by ancient aliens who landed on earth 445,000 years ago to search for gold. They created humans to serve them and replace them in the hard work of mining gold. Man sits on top of the chain of all the beings on surface of earth, but the fact is that his origin is still a puzzle. With all the knowledge and wisdom we have, the origin of mankind is still a matter of debate. The Islamic story of Creation, like the other biblical tales of Genesis, stems from Sumerian origins. The apparent controversy of the monotheistic single God of the heavenly religions with the many Gods in the olden civilizations could be easily explained. Condensing the many polytheistic gods into a single Supreme Deity, the biblical and Islamic tales are considered edited versions of the olden religions.Gods played important role in the life of humanity and their understanding of the universe. In the olden times, they played a direct role through their physical presence among humans, when they were ruling the earth and dealing directly with humans. In the recent times, they continued playing the same role, although indirectly, through the heavenly religions, and will continue playing the same role in the future. This is the third book of the series"Gods' Chronicles", and it focuses on the attributes of gods in different religions. All the attributes are derived from the words of the gods themselves, as mentioned in their books and narrated by their followers. If we examine the religious texts seriously, we will learn a lot about our hidden and yet unknown mysterious gods. The opinions mentioned in this book may be unusual for some and even rejected by others. Everyone is free to believe or reject any or all of the opinions mentioned. Looking forward that these ideas empower and energize our minds. I hope you enjoy reading this book and interacting with these ideas. Thank you in advance.
