Book Description
Order has collapsed in Deepgate. The chained city is now in ruins, and the Deadsands beyond are full of fleeing refugees. Meanwhile, the Spine militia is trying to halt the exodus of panicking citizens through brutal force. Rachel and the young angel Dill are dragged off to the Temple torture chambers . . . but strange things start to happen as a foul red mist rises from the abyss beneath the city. For the god Ulcis's death has left the gates to Hell unguarded, and certain forces in the fathomless darkness beneath Deepgate have noticed an opportunity. Only the offspring of the dread goddess Ayen understand this new danger. Already, Cospinol, god of brine and fog, is coming to save his brother's temple -- and to hunt down Ulcis's murderers. His foul, fog-wreathed skyship has already reached Sandport, bringing along its own version of hell. By now, Rachel just wants to keep her companion alive. Escaping their prison, and with enemies closing in on all sides, she is forced to undertake a perilous journey across the Deadsands towards the distant land of Pandemeria. But there the battlefield at Coreollis is fated to witness a clash of powers -- a contest between men and gods and archons and slaves, all forced into desperate alliances.

Pages : 334
Book Description
Angels are real, some of them fell and became known as fallen angels. They came from Heaven to the earth, there is proof in the bible and in history about what they did. The bible speaks of their offspring as giants, world history speaks of the offspring of "the gods" as giants. Is their a difference? The "sons of Seth" doctrine teaches that the "sons of God" mentioned in Genesis 6: were merely regular humans i.e. the "righteous line of Seth" who produced the giants. I will include the verse for those not familiar with Genesis 6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. The information presented in this book reveals the falseness of the "sons of Seth" doctrine and sets the record straight about who the "sons of God" who "took wives" from the daughters of men actually were...And now, an in depth preview of the rest of the book...The Bible speaks of giants using names like Nephilim, Rephaim, Zamzumim, Zuzim, Emim and others. History speaks of giants using names like Si Te Cah, Annunaki, Aloadai, Formorian and others. The Bible describes giants as at least 13 feet tall and even much taller having 6 fingers and 6 toes on each hand and foot. History describes giants as at least 13 feet and much taller, skeletons of races of giants have been unearthed having 6 fingers and 6 toes on each hand and foot and many of them with double rows of teeth. The bible speaks of the "sons of God" the binai ha Elohim mating with women and producing giants and "mighty men" as you will see from this book the bible is clear that these "sons of God" were angels/celestial beings. Ancient cultures like Sumeria, Greece, Rome, Africa and others also speak of celestial beings mating with women and producing giants and super human men. The goal of this book is to confirm the bible through history and to confirm history through the bible. The bible is history, what has happened in ancient and recent times is also history. The various comparisons you will see in this book will show clearly that the giants and fallen angels of the bible are present throughout world history under different names. Moreover, this book will show the undeniable association between the gods/celestial beings, fallen angels and giants of ancient times.

The Monastic Origins of the Nag Hammadi Codices
Author: Hugo Lundhaug
Publisher: Mohr Siebeck
ISBN: 9783161541728
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
"Hugo Lundhaug and Lance Jenott offer a sustained argument for the monastic provenance of the Nag Hammadi Codices. They examine the arguments for and against a monastic Sitz im Leben and defend the view that the Codices were produced and read by Christian monks, most likely Pachomians, in the fourth- and fifth-century monasteries of Upper Egypt. Eschewing the modern classification of the Nag Hammadi texts as “Gnostic,” the authors approach the codices and their ancient owners from the perspective of the diverse monastic culture of late antique Egypt and situate them in the context of the ongoing controversies over extra-canonical literature and the theological legacy of Origen. Through a combination of sources, including idealized hagiographies, travelogues, monastic rules and exhortations, and the more quotidian details revealed in documentary papyri, manuscript collections, and archaeology, monasticism in the Thebaid is brought to life, and the Nag Hammadi codices situated within it. The cartonnage papyri from the leather covers of the codices, which bear witness to the monastic culture of the region, are closely examined, while scribal and codicological features of the codices are analyzed and compared with contemporary manuscripts from Egypt. Special attention is given to the codices’ scribal notes and colophons which offer direct evidence of their producers and users. The study ultimately reveals the Nag Hammadi Codices as a collection of books completely at home in the monastic manuscript culture of late antique Egypt."--

To Cast the First Stone
Author: Jennifer Knust
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691203121
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
The story of the woman taken in adultery features a dramatic confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees over whether the adulteress should be stoned as the law commands. In response, Jesus famously states, “Let him who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” To Cast the First Stone traces the history of this provocative story from its first appearance to its enduring presence today. Likely added to the Gospel of John in the third century, the passage is often held up by modern critics as an example of textual corruption by early Christian scribes and editors, yet a judgment of corruption obscures the warm embrace the story actually received. Jennifer Knust and Tommy Wasserman trace the story’s incorporation into Gospel books, liturgical practices, storytelling, and art, overturning the mistaken perception that it was either peripheral or suppressed, even in the Greek East. The authors also explore the story’s many different meanings. Taken as an illustration of the expansiveness of Christ’s mercy, the purported superiority of Christians over Jews, the necessity of penance, and more, this vivid episode has invited any number of creative receptions. This history reveals as much about the changing priorities of audiences, scribes, editors, and scholars as it does about an “original” text of John. To Cast the First Stone calls attention to significant shifts in Christian book cultures and the enduring impact of oral tradition on the preservation—and destabilization—of scripture.
