A monumental history of Asia Minor from the Stone Age to the Roman Empire
In this critically acclaimed book, Christian Marek masterfully provides the first comprehensive history of Asia Minor from prehistory to the Roman imperial period. Blending rich narrative with in-depth analyses, In the Land of a Thousand Gods shows Asia Minor's shifting orientation between East and West and its role as both a melting pot of nations and a bridge for cultural transmission. Marek employs ancient sources to illuminate civic institutions, urban and rural society, agriculture, trade and money, the influential Greek writers of the Second Sophistic, the notoriously bloody exhibitions of the gladiatorial arena, and more. He draws on the latest research--in fields ranging from demography and economics to architecture and religion--to describe how Asia Minor became a center of culture and wealth in the Roman Empire. A breathtaking work of scholarship, In the Land of a Thousand Gods will become the standard reference book on the subject in English.

Описание:
A powerful examination of soulful journeys made to recover memory and recuperate stolen pasts in the face of unspeakable histories.
Survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 took refuge across the globe. Traumatized by unspeakable brutalities, the idea of returning to their homeland was unthinkable. But decades later, some children and grandchildren felt compelled to travel back, having heard stories of family wholeness in beloved homes and of cherished ancestral towns and villages once in Ottoman Armenia, today in the Republic of Turkey. Hoping to satisfy spiritual yearnings, this new generation called themselves pilgrims--and their journeys, pilgrimages.
Carel Bertram joined scores of these pilgrims on over a dozen pilgrimages, and amassed accounts from hundreds more who made these journeys. In telling their stories, A House in the Homeland documents how pilgrims encountered the ancestral house, village, or town as both real and metaphorical centerpieces of family history. Bertram recounts the moving, restorative connections pilgrims made, and illuminates how the ancestral house, as a spiritual place, offers an opening to a wellspring of humanity in sites that might otherwise be defined solely by tragic loss.
As an exploration of the powerful links between memory and place, house and homeland, rupture and continuity, these Armenian stories reflect the resilience of diaspora in the face of the savage reaches of trauma, separation, and exile in ways that each of us, whatever our history, can recognize.

Описание: The year that will forever be known as 2020 has brought new words to our world: Covid-19, Corona Virus, and Essential Workers. One day were dropping off the kids at school on the way to work at the office; the next day were told youre now working from home to keep everyone safe and the dining room became the make shift classroom. Perhaps other than World War II, no other time in history has the focus been on "essential workers," focus that would normally be reserved for athletes and movie stars was shifted to doctors, nurses, teachers, transportation workers, baristas, you name it. People and jobs that have been serving us for years, helping keep life running day-in and day-out are finally receiving the attention they deserve. One day youre a delivery driver and the next day youre the key to help people survive. Sounds very familiar to the story of Nehemiah. While many may know Nehemiah as the guy who helped build the wall, what most may not know he was just a simple servant. One day he was polishing the Kings silver and the next day he becomes the savior for an entire nation. One simple cupbearer became the person who helped change history. The lessons we can learn from Nehemiah transcends history, occupations, race, religion, etc. These are lessons that can be applied in the office, the classroom, the family room, even a Zoom call. The story of Nehemiah gives us a glimpse to look at our own lives and an opportunity learn from history. While this book is based upon the Old Testament Book of Nehemiah, the leadership principles pulled from the life of Nehemiah can apply to believers, non-believers and even people who have never read the Bible. Nehemiah reminds us we have a Creator who loves us and never forgets about us. He uses normal everyday people to write history. Heroes are found next door, in the classroom, all around us, even in the mirror. Often when we read history we forget that the people were reading about are just like us, normal everyday people who take a step of faith. The lessons we can learn from Nehemiah can help all of us take those steps in every aspect of our lives.

Описание: The past two decades have seen increased attention to Augustine of Hippo's (AD 354-430) use of rhetorical concepts. In Rhetorical Economy in Augustine's Theology, Brian Gronewoller explores Augustine's use of the rhetorical concept of economy in his theologies of creation, history, and evil. He shows that rhetorical economy was the logic by which Augustine explained tensions within, and answered challenges to, these three fundamental areas of his thought and others with which they intersect, such as providence, divine activity, and divine order.

Описание: I would like to clarify who I am. I have made many mistakes during my lifetime. I have not become a perfect person since following Jesus, but I have become a student of God's Word, and a son of the living God because of what Jesus did. I have the desire and vision to become more like Jesus, always wanting to be as loving and kind as He. No one has completely become as Jesus is in this world. We are all on the journey seeking to live His perfection. I know I am in a war, the spiritual war that is talked about in Ephesians 6:12. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The Lord has helped me through battles of hate, lust, lying, stealing, cheating, deceit, and drugs. His love has never failed me. He stands with me no matter what. I can joyfully say that He has given me the Grace to overcome many sins. Somehow, He has seen fit to use me to share the Gospel with many. Some days I shared the Gospel with 6 or more people other days I did not share Him. If I took a rough estimate I believe it would average to 2 a day for the 48 years I have been serving Him it would come to 35,040 people and multiplied by an average of 6 brothers and sisters sharing with me this number could be multiplied by 6. These are people who we share the Gospel with face to face. The reason I am sharing this is not to boast but to bring to your attention that if we are faithful to share the Gospel our influence for the Kingdom of God adds up. If we train others to share the Gospel our influence in this world multiplies. He is faithful to use our lives, even if we are not perfect. He's perfect and that's what counts. I acknowledge that Jesus Created the world with His Father. He came to be the Savior of the world and is the King of Kings. He has all authority in heaven and on earth. I need Him. I have submitted to His Lordship over my life. I understand that eternal life the entrance into Heaven is a free gift. When Jesus died on the cross, He removed all sin. Every human being has a choice to believe in what He has done and allow Him to take away their sins or not believe and stand before God at judgement without the cleansing blood of Jesus the Christ. It's a choice. It's your choice. When someone becomes a believer, they need constant cleansing from defilement contracted in this pilgrim walk through this fallen world. Titus 3:5 tells us; not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit. We all need this washing of our souls and renewing of the Holy Spirit daily to keep an open connection with God through His Holy Spirit. Heaven is a non-returnable gift when someone truly receives Jesus as their Savior. The Holy Spirit's cleansing allows us to live in a pleasing way in our Fathers eyes while we walk in this world. It also allows us to be used on earth to lift His Glory because other can see Him in us. His Holy Spirit is able to shine through us. From the beginning of the world, mankind was unable to understand what God wanted with His creation, so, Jesus came to earth in a human form. Jesus was totally God and totally man when he walked this earth. He showed us how God wants humans to live then made a way for us to walk with God on earth by taking all sins on the cross fulfilling the prophecy of Psalms 22, which had been written about 1000 years prior to His death. He offers to take anyone's sins, but He has given every human being the choice to humble ourselves and ask Jesus to take our sins. Something for you to think about. If someone is not happily loving Jesus here on earth, they will not be happy living with Him for eternity. God doesn't send anyone to Hell, going to Hell is a choice. This is chosen by receiving or rejecting God's gift given through Jesus.

Описание: During the rise of Islam, Muslim fascination with Christian monastic life was articulated through a fluid, piety-centred movement. Bradley Bowman explores this confessional synthesis between like-minded religious groups in the medieval Near East. He argues that this potential ecumenism would have been based upon the sharing of core tenets concerning piety and righteous behaviour. Such fundamental attributes, long associated with monasticism in the East, likely served as a mutually inclusive common ground for Muslim and Christian communities of the period. This manifested itself in Muslim appreciation, interest and – at times – participation in Christian monastic life.

Описание:
The Miracle of Amsterdam presents a “cultural biography” of a Dutch devotional manifestation. According to tradition, on the night of March 15, 1345, a Eucharistic host thrown into a burning fireplace was found intact hours later. A chapel was erected over the spot, and the citizens of Amsterdam became devoted to their “Holy Stead." From the original Eucharistic processions evolved the custom of individual devotees walking around the chapel while praying in silence, and the growing international pilgrimage site contributed to the rise and prosperity of Amsterdam.
With the arrival of the Reformation, the Amsterdam Miracle became a point of contention between Catholics and Protestants, and the changing fortunes of this devotion provide us a front-row seat to the challenges facing religion in the world today. Caspers and Margry trace these transformations and their significance through the centuries, from the Catholic medieval period through the Reformation to the present day.
