Book Synopsis Jonah vs King of Nineveh: Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence by : Gerard Gertoux
Download or read book Jonah vs King of Nineveh: Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence written by Gerard Gertoux and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-14 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians consider the Biblical account of Jonah's warning against Nineveh as pious fiction, but the Gospels refer to it as a real story (Lk 11:29-32). The book of Jonah, despite its brevity, gives some verifiable information regarding Nineveh, a very old city, which disappeared completely after its destruction in 612 BCE. The dimensions mentioned seem colossal, however they do agree with the accounts of Herodotus, Diodorus and Strabo. Jonah's mission coincided with Jeroboam II's accession (2 Ki 14:23-25) and Shalmaneser III's death in 824 BCE who had previously commissioned Shamshi-Adad V as new Crown prince to quell the revolt headed by his brother Assur-danin-pal, who had headed 27 cities including the renowned Nineveh. Jonah's mission was therefore a success since Assyrian expansionism to the Mediterranean coast would cease, at least for 80 years.

Book Synopsis The Judgement of Jonah by : Alastair G. Hunter
Download or read book The Judgement of Jonah written by Alastair G. Hunter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is designed as a commentary with a difference, where the reading of the prophet's travails is explored in the context of two wider themes: (1) the overt and highly sophisticated intertwining of Jonah's story with an impressively wide range of other biblical texts, often deployed in surprising ways; and (2) the clearly contrarian relationship between God and Jonah which has both vexed and intrigued scholars and lay readers alike for millennia. Underpinning this reading is a twofold thesis: firstly, an argument that many of the puzzles inherent in the book of Jonah can be illuminated in the light of the idea that Nineveh was from the beginning a cipher for the Jerusalem of the author's time; and secondly, that this would have been evident to Jonah's first readers: the class of elite literati amongst the ruling cadre of late Persian or early Hellenistic Judaea.

Book Synopsis Kings David and Solomon: Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence by : Gerard Gertoux
Download or read book Kings David and Solomon: Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence written by Gerard Gertoux and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The David and Solomon's kingdoms are no longer considered as historical by minimalist archaeologists. According to Finkelstein and Silberman, for example, authors of The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts, at the time of the kingdoms of David and Solomon, Jerusalem was populated by only a few hundred residents or less. Some Biblical minimalists like Thompson go further, arguing that Jerusalem became a city and capable of being a state capital only in the mid-seventh century. Likewise, Finkelstein and others consider the claimed size of Solomon's temple implausible. A review of methods and arguments used by these minimalists shows that they are impostors for writing history. The historical testimonies dated by a chronology anchored on absolute dates (backbone of history) are replaced by archaeological remains dated by carbon-14 (backbone of modern myths). The goal of these unfounded claims is clearly the charring of biblical accounts.
Book Synopsis The Historicity of the Book of Jonah by : Leslie Henry
Download or read book The Historicity of the Book of Jonah written by Leslie Henry and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT IT IS ABOUT This is a timely work presented to the cause of Christ and dedicated to every true believer who serves that cause. It provides a solid foundation for those who must "earnestly contend for the FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints." Its purpose is to EQUIP every believer to " be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." This is resource material for reference and a textbook for every library. It is serious, yet interesting reading that would cause the reader to think. I recommend this book as compulsory reading for every Bible student, every Bible teacher and every Christian worker. Having pioneered and pastored several churches for a period of about twenty years, the author has dedicated the rest of his life as an itinerant teacher-trainer who collaborates with churches to augment growth and development, to establish Christian believers and to conserve the harvest of souls. It is my sincere prayer that the reading of this book would impart depth, strength and inspiration to your Christian life and ministry. Leslie Henry

Book Synopsis The Reconstructed Chronology of the Divided Kingdom by : M. Christine Tetley
Download or read book The Reconstructed Chronology of the Divided Kingdom written by M. Christine Tetley and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2004-06-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The common response to any attempt to read the chronological notations associated with the kings of Israel and Judah in the time of the divided monarchy is, perhaps, a shrug of the shoulders, or a statement to the effect that the problem is insoluble. Not only are the apparently contradictory—or confusing—notations of the MT a consideration, but the evidence of the other major versions seriously complicates any such undertaking. In the twentieth century, Edwin R. Thiele attempted to reconcile and wrangle all of the numbers into a semblance of order, with results that were far from convincing to his readers. Now Christine Tetley has attacked this knottiest of problems with fresh vigor and assayed a new solution. There is no doubt that this book will be controversial; nevertheless, it will be required reading for anyone who wishes to pin archaeological and historical data within the framework of an absolute chronology.

Book Synopsis New chronology using solar eclipses by : Pekka Mansikka
Download or read book New chronology using solar eclipses written by Pekka Mansikka and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps everyone interested in reading, for example, the history of Assyria, Babylon and Egypt, has at some point noticed some references to solar eclipses observed at that distant time. Taking a glance at the chronologies of those peoples, it can be stated that the solar eclipses observed cannot be found in the reign periods of those kings. The Author has discovered this scientific vacuum and he has considered it to be an appropriate opportunity to specify the chronologies of the peoples reigning in the Middle East in 1550-530 BC in connection with accordance of the observed eclipses. This study raises justified questions: did the solar eclipse observed in Ashur-Dan III's 9th regnal year in 800 BC or in 809 BC? Or could it have happened in 791 BC? This study presents a new feature of applying new studies by Egyptian astronomer Aymen M. Ibrahim for the first time in practice to the history of the peoples. This new study can be regarded very exceptional, as this is the world's first major encouragement of how a chronology can be timed using solar eclipses. This Book includes 57 images and more than 40 tables and text boxes.
Book Synopsis The Reason of Job by : Scott R. Cherry
Download or read book The Reason of Job written by Scott R. Cherry and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Job is probably the most heart-wrenching and pervasive story of suffering that is often included in philosophical discussions on the problem of evil. Job was a highly regarded man of God in both Christianity and Islam, and an undisputed prophet in Islam. Both religions have overlapping scripture about him in our holy books, as well as tradition. This is also true of other prophets from the Tanakh, or the Old Testament of the Bible. It contains the book by his name with forty-two chapters, and a fair amount of content that is unique to it. The Reason of Job explores what this author believes is the main reason for Job’s suffering and restoration, plus the restoration of his four friends. It then, through the lenses of the Bible and Islamic literature, examines many other prophets or saints to trace their common qualities, experiences, and motifs pointing to the prefigured Messiah.

Book Synopsis Painting in the Shadow by : Fabio Troncarelli
Download or read book Painting in the Shadow written by Fabio Troncarelli and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The almost invisible images of a hitherto unknown painter called Eusebius, who worked in San Vitale Ravenna and in Vivarium, are a gallery of portraits of his famous contemporaries such as Theodoric, Vitiges, Amalasunta and a visual commentary of Justinian's tyrannical behaviour. Living between two ages, without belonging to either, this solitary man represents the fullest embodiment of a type of cultural "hybridisation" that is well attested throughout history. Eusebius is a spiritual brother of those "hybrid" artists, who have left extraordinary examples of "grotesques" populated by fantastic beings. After having embodied for so long the unbiased tolerance which had been the core of his own life and those of his companions in Ravenna: that mixture of confidentiality, intelligence, pointed irony, fantasy, and – why not? – touch of madness which had helped him to navigate through the troubled waters of his age, always leaving at the margins the demons who haunted him.
