Book Description
This long-awaited book of an extraordinary magnitude highlights some African minds vis-à-vis the Good News of our Creator. The book provides its readers with some amusing but educative instances of confusion, limitation, and ignorance observed in some very old African believers in their quest to deeply understand and embrace the words of God. Although the book comprises of six short but interesting chapters, these chapters are grouped under two main themes. The first theme is ‘expository’ and contains Chapter one. It identifies some causes that motivated many ancient Africans to know the Good News, and also reveals some instances of confusion and ignorance observed in those Africans in their struggle to understand the Good News in greater details. The second theme is ‘solution’ and contains chapter two, chapter three, chapter four, chapter five and chapter six. Chapter two examines some important religious and political events among the Greeks, the Jews and the Romans that happened before the coming of Christ into the world. Chapter three narrates Jesus’ life on earth based on the Bible and some insightful Historians. Chapter four highlights some important events that occurred after Christ. Chapter five pinpoints some benefits the world enjoys, thanks to the one-time presence of Christ on this earth and chapter six suggests some wise tools that can be used when spreading the Good News. This book is appropriate as a text for minds-building in the domains of, history, values and religion. It is intended for God’s friends, would be God’s friends and non God’s friends.

Born in Heaven, Made on Earth
Author: Michael Brennan Dick
Publisher: Eisenbrauns
ISBN: 1575060248
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Pejoratively referred to as "idols" in the Hebrew Bible and in western tradition, the cult image occupied a central place in the cultures of the ancient Near East. In Mesopotamia, a ritual (mis pi) was used to "give birth" to the god represented by the cult image. In this volume, three separate essays examine the topic within different ancient Near Eastern cultures, and a fourth provides a modern analogy as counterpoint.

Teaching Evolution in a Creation Nation
Author: Adam Laats
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022633144X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
No fight over what gets taught in American classrooms is more heated than the battle over humanity’s origins. For more than a century we have argued about evolutionary theory and creationism (and its successor theory, intelligent design), yet we seem no closer to a resolution than we were in Darwin’s day. In this thoughtful examination of how we teach origins, historian Adam Laats and philosopher Harvey Siegel offer crucial new ways to think not just about the evolution debate but how science and religion can make peace in the classroom. Laats and Siegel agree with most scientists: creationism is flawed, as science. But, they argue, students who believe it nevertheless need to be accommodated in public school science classes. Scientific or not, creationism maintains an important role in American history and culture as a point of religious dissent, a sustained form of protest that has weathered a century of broad—and often dramatic—social changes. At the same time, evolutionary theory has become a critical building block of modern knowledge. The key to accommodating both viewpoints, they show, is to disentangle belief from knowledge. A student does not need to believe in evolution in order to understand its tenets and evidence, and in this way can be fully literate in modern scientific thought and still maintain contrary religious or cultural views. Altogether, Laats and Siegel offer the kind of level-headed analysis that is crucial to finding a way out of our culture-war deadlock.

The Papacy and Crusading in Europe, 1198-1245
Author: Rebecca Rist
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1441157212
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
An 'internal' crusade is defined as a holy war authorized by the pope and fought within Christian Europe against those perceived to be foes of Christendom, either to recover property or in defense of the Church or Christians. This study is therefore not concerned with those crusades authorized against Muslim enemies in the East and Spain, nor with crusades authorized against pagans on the borders of Europe. Up to now these crusades have attracted relatively little attention in modern British scholarship. This in spite of their undoubted European-wide significance and an increasing recognition that the period 1198-1245 marks the beginning of a crucial change in papal policy underpinned by canon law. This book discusses the developments through analysis of the extensive source material drawn from unregistered papal letters, placing them firmly in the context of ecclesiastical legislation, canon law, chronicles and other supplementary evidence. It thereby seeks to contribute to our understanding of the complex politics, theology and rhetoric that underlay the papacy's call for crusades within Europe in the first half of the thirteenth century.

Alexander
Author: Christian Cameron
Publisher: Orion
ISBN: 1409146413
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1027
Book Description
The ultimate historical adventure novel: the life of Alexander the Great in a single, epic volume. To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary. As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By twenty-five he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles and was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story. Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, thrilling - a story of extraordinary daring and unimaginable endurance; of wanton destruction and murderous intrigue - the epic tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human.
