Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen-year-old Amon has been part of some incredible things in his short life, especially in the last three years. Jesus has ascended to heaven, Saul has seen the light, and the church in Jerusalem is now well organized. It's finally time to make his own life his most exciting mission. But every time Amon thinks he's getting close to being able to build a family and a future, something gets in the way. One of the apostles needs help with something. A Roman tries to stir up trouble. His father volunteers him for something without asking. Amon is becoming convinced that he will never have a normal life. But maybe a normal life isn't part of God's plan for him after all. What Amon doesn't realize is that he's an eyewitness to some of the most thrilling times in the life of the early church. He's about to learn that God has a reason for everything and will turn Amon's challenging circumstances into blessings. Arnold Ytreeide's beloved characters from his hugely popular Christmas and Easter series are back in this story set within Acts. Full of adventure, friendship, and exciting biblical history, Amon's Mission is perfect for families to read together at any time of year, bringing the setting of the New Testament to vivid life.

Book excerpt: Ishtar is the first book dedicated to providing an accessible analysis of the mythology and image of this complex goddess. The polarity of her nature is reflected in her role as goddess of sexual love and war, and has made her difficult to characterise in modern scholarship. By exploring this complexity, Ishtar offers insight into Mesopotamian culture and thought, and elucidates a goddess who transcended the limits of gender, divinity and nature. It gives an accessible introduction to the Near Eastern pantheon, while also opening a pathway for comparison with the later Near Eastern and Mediterranean deities who followed her.

Book excerpt: Donna Marcellini travelled across Europe,strutting the atwalks of London, Paris and Milan-but she had become bored with her chosen career. She had diverted her interests instead to ecoming one of London's most sought after courtesans. Her participation and enjoyment of London's infamous BDSM scene had also guaranteed her popularity amongst the rich and famous. Her skills and intelligence were soon recognised by superintendant Emerson of Special Branch who recruited her to act as a decoy in the pursuit of the Russian Mafi a to break their hold on the white slave trade. Russian and East European girls were being smuggled into the U.K. in ever increasing numbers; deceived into believing they could land lucrative jobs in the West they were naively press ganged into prostitution. The plan was simple. Donna, because of her sexual prowess and fl uency in the Russian language, was to act as a Russian girl, looking for an easy way to get to the West. She was an obvious choice in aiding Interpol and the British police to track her on her journey through Europe. But the plan went horribly wrong and what was to be a simple tracking operation became a rescue mission and a chase that went half way across the world. Donna faced abuse and death on an almost daily basis and it wasn't the easy mission she had been promised it would be.

Book excerpt: Extending his distinctive analysis of Homeric epic to the Iliad, Bruce Louden, author of The "Odyssey": Structure, Narration, and Meaning, again presents new approaches to understanding the themes and story of the poem. In this thought-provoking study, he demonstrates how repeated narrative motifs argue for an expanded understanding of the structure of epic poetry. First identifying the "subgenres" of myth within the poem, he then reads these against related mythologies of the Near East, developing a context in which the poem can be more accurately interpreted. Louden begins by focusing on the ways in which the Iliad's three movements correspond with and comment on each other. He offers original interpretations of many episodes, notably in books 3 and 7, and makes new arguments about some well-known controversies (e.g., the duals in book 9), the Iliad's use of parody, the function of theomachy, and the prefiguring of Hektor as a sacrificial victim in books 3 and 6. The second part of the book compares fourteen subgenres of myth in the Iliad to contemporaneous Near Eastern traditions such as those of the Old Testament and of Ugaritic mythology. Louden concludes with an extended comparison of the Homeric Athena and Anat, a West Semitic goddess worshipped by the Phoenicians and Egyptians. Louden's innovative method yields striking new insights into the formation and early literary contexts of Greek epic poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deeds and struggles of Gilgamesh, legendary king of the city-state Uruk in the land of Sumer, have fascinated readers for millennia. They are preserved primarily in the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the most well-known pieces of Mesopotamian literature. Studying the text draws us into an orbit that is engaging and thrilling, for it is a work of fantasy and legend that addresses some of the very existential issues with which contemporary readers still grapple. We experience the excitement of trying to penetrate the mind-set of another civilization, an ancient one—in this instance, a civilization that ultimately gave rise to our own. The studies gathered here all demonstrate Tzvi Abusch’s approach to ancient literature: to make use of the tools of literary, structural, and critical analysis in service of exploring the personal and psychological dimensions of the narration. The author focuses especially on the encounters between males and females in the story. The essays are not only instructive for understanding the Epic of Gilgamesh, they also serve as exemplary studies of ancient literature with a view to investigating streams of commonality between ancient times and ours

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Jason and the Argonauts is one of the most famous in Greek myth, and its development from the oldest layers of Greek mythology down to the modern age encapsulates the dramatic changes in faith, power and culture that Western civilization has seen over the past three millennia. From the Bronze Age to the Classical Age, from the medieval world to today, the Jason story has been told and retold with new stories, details and meanings. This book explores the epic history of a colorful myth and probes the most ancient origins of the quest for the Golden Fleece--a quest that takes us to the very dawn of Greek religion and its close relationship with Near Eastern peoples and cultures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of allusion is possible in a poetry derived from a centuries-long oral tradition, and what kind of oral-derived poetry are the Homeric epics? Comparison of Homeric epic with South Slavic heroic song has suggested certain types of answers to these questions, yet the South Slavic paradigm is neither straightforward in itself nor necessarily the only pertinent paradigm: Augustan Latin poetry uses many sophisticated and highly self-conscious techniques of allusion which can, this book contends, be suggestively paralleled in Homeric epic, and some of the same techniques of allusion can be found in Near Eastern poetry of the third and second millennia BC. By attending to these various paradigms, this challenging study argues for a new understanding of Homeric allusion and its place in literary history, broaching the question of whether there can have been historical continuity in a poetics of allusion stretching from the Mesopotamian epic of Gilgamesh, via the Iliad and Odyssey, to the Aeneid and Metamorphoses, despite the enormous disparities of time and place and of language and culture, including those represented by the cuneiform tablet, the papyrus roll, and by an oral performance culture. The fundamental methodological problems are explored through a series of interlocking case studies, treating of how the Odyssey conceivably alludes to the Iliad and also to earlier poetry on Odysseus' homecoming, the Iliad to earlier poetry on the Ethiopian hero Memnon, the Homeric Hymn to Demeter to earlier poetry on Hades' abduction of Persephone, and early Greek epic to Mesopotamian mythological poetry, pre-eminently the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh.
