Book Description
Three hundred years after the war to end all wars, Roman Bowditch, an old prototype cyborg is the only man left alive who recalls the Old World, and has seen the New World rebuild, looking back into history to start again. Living for three centuries in a brutal land where men ride steel horses and fight electronic dragons, and torture and extreme and sometimes forced cybernetic conversion is considered acceptable, he feels quite alone - until he meets Leon, the Cyborg King and his fiancee Clara. Then Roman finds a place in his half-mechanical heart for both of them - in different ways - and becomes Lord Bowditch, royal dragon slayer. For a while Roman is happy - for the first time in many centuries - but troubled times are looming that will see him fight mechanical dragons, go off to sea in search of new lands and the dangers they hide, and finally, to face the prospect of a civil war that may tear the Steel Heartland apart, and shatter the lives of those he loves forever...

Royal Ideologies in the Book of Revelation
Author: Justin P. Jeffcoat Schedtler
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009297384
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Studies of the Apocalypse have long neglected the royal and messianic dimensions of its portrait of the Lamb. In this volume, Justin P. Jeffcoat Schedtler offers new insights on this topic, arguing that royal and messianic ideologies and discourses are not merely evident in the book of Revelation but also constitute one of its primary organizing principles. Moreover, they shape Revelation's Christology. Schedtler explores ideologies of kingship in the ancient Greek and Roman world, as well as Second Temple Judaism. Making previously unexplored connections in Revelations' ideological portrait of the Lamb, he shows that the portrayal of Jesus as God's chosen viceregent, offers new insights into several of the central Christological tenets in the text. They include the Lamb's reception of the scroll to rule on God's behalf, his place on a heavenly throne, the many benefactions he offers to those who remain faithful to him, and the hymnic praise he receives in response.
