Описание: The Ten Commandments need no introduction-what more is there to know about the divine dos and don'ts? According to Jenna Weissman Joselit's imaginative and vivid account, there's a lot more to this ancient biblical code than Moses and Mount Sinai. Situating the Ten Commandments within the context of modern America, Rock Solid takes the reader on a sweeping journey through history to reveal the surprising influence of the scriptural directives on the formation of America's national identity. Stripped of their sanctified context in the unpredictable terrain of the New World, the Commandments readily attracted intense, heated public debates, sending shockwaves through religious and secular cultures alike. When an exceedingly ancient version of the Ten Commandments-or so it was claimed-turned up on a boulder in central Ohio on the eve of the Civil War, they provoked wonder, pride and a whiff of mystery, too. In a different instance, the presence of a circularly shaped Ten Commandments in a stained glass window nearly split one New York synagogue congregation asunder. Still other stories explore what happened when the Decalogue became the darling of Hollywood in the hands of director Cecil B. DeMille, or, in an equally startling turn, a handmaiden to therapy . Rich in story and inhabited by a lively cast of characters whose ranks include forgers and filmmakers, architects and archaeologists, ordinary citizens and politicians, Rock Solid compels us to take a closer look at the Ten Commandments and see them afresh. Through a series of deftly rendered vignettes, this compelling account recasts the cultural impact of the Ten Commandments in American society not as a legal code or theological imperative, but as a fertile repository of American history with a defining impact on the country's cultural imagination to the current day.

Описание: This new cultural history of Jewish life and identity in the United States after World War II focuses on the process of upward mobility. Rachel Kranson challenges the common notion that most American Jews unambivalently celebrated their generally strong growth in economic status and social acceptance during the booming postwar era. In fact, a significant number of Jewish religious, artistic, and intellectual leaders worried about the ascent of large numbers of Jews into the American middle class. Kranson reveals that many Jews were deeply concerned that their lives—affected by rapidly changing political pressures, gender roles, and religious practices—were becoming dangerously disconnected from authentic Jewish values. She uncovers how Jewish leaders delivered jeremiads that warned affluent Jews of hypocrisy and associated ""good"" Jews with poverty, even at times romanticizing life in America's immigrant slums and Europe's impoverished shtetls. Jewish leaders, while not trying to hinder economic development, thus cemented an ongoing identification with the Jewish heritage of poverty and marginality as a crucial element in an American Jewish ethos.
Millions of Christians and others worldwide are looking forward to the return of Jesus Christ to the earth in glory. Before that long-awaited day arrives, there are biblical prophecies that must be fulfilled, including the presence of true prophets again on the earth.
Are those true prophets here yet? Have they been here all along?
Earnest seekers of truth will find in Teachings and Commandments a great treasure - authentic writings of men who have seen and conversed with Jesus Christ, starting 200 years ago in 1820 and continuing through today. What did they learn? What did God say to them, and what did God say to the world through them?
Teachings and Commandments boldly declares that the heavens are open again, that the prophesied days of revelation and warning are already upon us, and that God has much to say to, and about us today.
This volume contains the most true and accurate compilation of the history and revelations of Joseph Smith, the first modern American prophet. It also includes Lectures on Faith, which was originally published in 1835 as the first part of Doctrine and Covenants, and which teaches more about the character, attributes, and perfections of God than any other modern work; and the Book of Abraham as originally restored by revelation to Joseph Smith.
This volume also contains the revelations of Denver Snuffer, another witness of the resurrected Lord who has walked and talked with Him, and the Testimony of St. John as restored by revelation to him.
Each of the works in this volume have been diligently compared with the original as part of the Restoration Edition of the scriptures, in an extensive effort to retain only the authentic text of each, and to discard all changes or insertions subsequently made by others. Taken together, the various works included in Teachings and Commandments speak to us through hundreds of revelations containing thousands of words from God, all pertaining to us in our day and time. Answers to many of the most important gospel questions can be found herein.
Of particular interest and value to Christian, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, LDS Mormon, Fundamentalist and even non-denominational ministers and sects, Teachings and Commandments restores hundreds of ancient religious ideas and truths that have been neglected, pushed aside, and forgotten. Its objective is to uncover truth and inspire readers to pursue a relationship with Christ. If studied by by faith as a reference, commentary or companion study guide to the scriptures, seekers of truth will find their minds enlightened by the Holy Ghost, and their understanding of God, Jesus Christ and His gospel stretched and expanded in unexpected and delightful ways.
This is one of six (6) total books comprising the Restoration Edition of the scriptures, which include:
VOLUME 1 The Old Covenants, Part 1: Genesis - 1 Chronicles The Old Covenants, Part 2: 2 Chronicles - Malachi
VOLUME 2 The New Covenants, Part 1: The New Testament The New Covenants, Part 2: The Book of Mormon
VOLUME 3 Teachings & Commandments A Glossary of Gospel Terms
This is Part 1 of Volume 3: Teachings and Commandments. When combined with Part 2, A Glossary of Gospel Terms, these two parts constitute a single volume entitled Teachings and Commandments, which accurately reflects the teachings and the commandments that have been given thus far to the world by Jesus Christ in modern times. It remains an open and living canon of scripture.
Topics covered in this volume include doctrines of grace and salvation, covenants, pearl of great price, community, Christ, John the Beloved, Lectures on Faith, modern prophets, Mormonism, religion, spirituality, christian church history, Bible education, ministry, leadership, canon law, latter-day saints, the LDS gospel library, scriptures, the second comforter, families, covenants, and fellowships.<

Описание: The Baltimore Catechism was the official book of Catholic doctrine and instruction for children in the United States - it consists of many lessons about God, the sacraments, and Jesus.
All the Commandments of Christ Volume I: Keys to Inheriting All the Blessings of God opens up God's heart by exploring Christ's commands and his intentions for shaping his children's lives. Readers may immerse themselves in the scriptures as they explore its settings and meanings and discern the directions it sets for modern daily life. In this book, Dr. Esther V. Shekher groups together pertinent biblical passages, organizes them, and shows how they reveal the path for Christians to follow to inherit the blessings God promises to all who obey Christ's commands.
If you have wondered what Jesus' commands say about daily life, how one can follow them, and what sort of consequences flow from obedience and disobedience, then All the Commandments of Christ Volume I will satisfy both your curiosity and your spiritual hunger.
Описание: For us to have favor with God, obedience is of utmost importance. Let this study awaken in you an earnest desire to fully know God`s will concerning this truth.
Описание: “Presto! No More Pests!” proclaimed a 1955 article introducing two new pesticides, ""miracle-workers for the housewife and back-yard farmer."" Easy to use, effective, and safe: who wouldn’t love synthetic pesticides? Apparently most Americans did—and apparently still do. Why—in the face of dire warnings, rising expense, and declining effectiveness—do we cling to our chemicals? Michelle Mart wondered. Her book, a cultural history of pesticide use in postwar America, offers an answer.America's embrace of synthetic pesticides began when they burst on the scene during World War II and has held steady into the 21st century—for example, more than 90% of soybeans grown in the US in 2008 are Roundup Ready GMOs, dependent upon generous use of the herbicide glyphosate to control weeds. Mart investigates the attraction of pesticides, with their up-to-the-minute promise of modernity, sophisticated technology, and increased productivity—in short, their appeal to human dreams of controlling nature. She also considers how they reinforced Cold War assumptions of Western economic and material superiority.Though the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and the rise of environmentalism might have marked a turning point in Americans’ faith in pesticides, statistics tell a different story. Pesticides, a Love Story recounts the campaign against DDT that famously ensued; but the book also shows where our notions of Silent Spring’s revolutionary impact falter—where, in spite of a ban on DDT, farm use of pesticides in the United States more than doubled in the thirty years after the book was published. As a cultural survey of popular and political attitudes toward pesticides, Pesticides, a Love Story tries to make sense of this seeming paradox. At heart, it is an exploration of the story we tell ourselves about the costs and benefits of pesticides—and how corporations, government officials, ordinary citizens, and the press shape that story to reflect our ideals, interests, and emotions.
