Download or read book Queen Salome written by Kenneth Atkinson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the ruler of Judea from 76 to 67 B.C.E., Queen Salome Alexandra (ca. 141 B.C.E.-67 B.C.E.) appointed the kingdom's high priest, led its men in battle, subjugated neighboring kings, and stopped the religious violence that plagued her society. Presiding over Judea's greatest period of peace and prosperity, she shaped the Judaism of Jesus' day as well as our own. Virtually unknown today, Queen Salome remained so unique that historians have largely ignored her rather than try to explain the perplexing circumstances that brought her to power. This volume recreates Queen Salome's fascinating life and the time in which she lived--an age when women ruled the Middle East.

Download or read book What Is This Thing Called Go(O)D? written by Rob Beasley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tackles that age old question of meaning and the Question of What is this thing called Go(o)d? by using the analogy of a tree. It first sets out to devise the seed of the research by giving some definitions of what the author thinks Go(o)d is. Or you might say Go(o)d's, reason for being. It's essence. Then the earliest sources of the Jesus story are examined. The roots. Finally, a big picture examination of history, the branches and canopy, reveals a theory with five related corruptions to the religious story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship of the Jewish people with God can be seen as like that of parent and child: as much as the parent cares for the child, the parent must prepare the child for adulthood by gradually stepping back and allowing the child to take ever greater responsibility. This overview of Jewish history sees God as preparing the Jewish people in just this way, for partnership with God in the ongoing project of bringing order to a chaotic world in order to complete an unfinished Creation; and, by setting an example, to invite all of humanity into that partnership as well.

Download or read book King Herod: A Persecuted Persecutor written by Aryeh Kasher and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enigma of King Herod as a cruel bloodthirsty tyrant on the one hand, and a great builder on the other is discussed in a systematic modern historical and psychological study. It seeks to unravel the contradictory historic mystery of the man and his deeds. After A. Schalit's König Herodes, this study is a new comprehensive, pioneering study on the intriguing personality of Herod, also using the insights of psychology. Herod's mental state reached an acute level, consistent with the DSM-IV diagnosis for "Paranoid Personality Disorder". He grew up with an ambiguous identity and suffered from feelings of inferiority. Haunted by persecutory delusions, he executed almost any suspect of treason, including his wife and three sons. The Hebrew original text was Winner of the Ya'acov Bahat Prize for Non-Fiction Hebrew Literature for 2006.

Download or read book Dark Knowledge written by Kenneth Low and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is narrowly focused on answering one question: why was Jesus Christ executed? One of its mantras draws a distinction between an emotional truth and a rational idea. In emotional terms, every traditional Christian feels that Jesus Christ was innocent. However, in rational terms Jesus Christ was arrested, tried, convicted, and executed. There had to be a reason for that. It couldn't have been merely a charge of blasphemy. Popular discussion is replete with warnings of the daunting challenges a modern world must face and the dire consequences of failing to meet them. Climate change, political and economic instability as well as ongoing armed confl icts all point to a need for a fundamental shift in human perception. The word apocalypse means'revelation' or 'the lifting of the veil.' That revelation must be the reason for the crucifi xion of Jesus Christ. What else could it be?

Download or read book Herod written by Peter Richardson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herod: King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans examines the life, work, and influence of this controversial figure, who remains the most highly visible of the Roman client kings under Augustus. Herod’s rule shaped the world in which Christianity arose and his influence can still be seen today. In this expanded second edition, additions to the original text include discussion of the archaeological evidence of Herod’s activity, his building program, numismatic evidence, and consideration of the roles and activities of other client kings in relation to Herod. This volume includes new maps and numerous photographs, and these coupled with the new additions to the text make this a valuable tool for those interested in the wider Roman world of the late first century BCE at both under- and postgraduate levels. Herod remains the definitive study of the life and activities of the king known traditionally as Herod the Great.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Footsteps of Jesus explores the world of Jesus through the lens of history. By understanding the political, social, and religious dynamics surrounding the Gospels, the reader will gain new insights into their meaning. Utilizing the best scholarship, this book is aimed at intellectually curious believers of all faiths. The reader will be able to imagine the diverse and vibrant world that Jesus inhabited. Covering a wide range of topics, the book describes the political interplay between Rome and Herod the Great and his descendants; the social tensions that led to great revolt and destruction of Jerusalem; the daily life of the people and the profound gap between rich and poor; family structure and the status of women; and the complex religious environment, including the role of the Pharisees, paganism and syncretism, the Temple cult, and the place of the apocryphal teachings in Judaism. Ancient literacy and the oral tradition are also analyzed, illuminating the role of eyewitnesses and the information network—or “holy internet”—of the ancient world. Questions emerge: Who wrote the Gospels? What was their genre? Who was the intended audience?

The first section of the book contains an overview, explaining how historical events affected Jews in general and Jewish women in particular. This is followed by a section of biographical entries of women of the period whose lives are set in their economic, familial, and cultural backgrounds.

This comprehensive work is an easy-to-use sourcebook, synopsizing rich and diverse resources. By examining history and analyzing the dynamics of Jewish law and custom, it illuminates the circumstances of Jewish women's lives and traces the changes that have occurred throughout the centuries. It casts a new and clear light on Jewish women as individuals and sets women firmly within the context of their own cultural and historical periods. The book contains illustrations, boxed text, extensive endnotes, and indices that list each woman by name. It is ideal for women's groups and study groups as well as students and scholars.

Download or read book Trilogy of the Magi written by Kathryn Muehlheausler and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There were many other signs that Jesus worked..., but they are not recorded in this book.” — John 20:30 Even in our modern world, wise men and women of all ages still seek Him. Trilogy of the Magi is a book for all seasons. In an inspirational trilogy, Kathryn Muehlheausler shares three stories of the royal magi of Christmas lore. Decades after Assyrian royal Melchior interacts with Herod, crowned in Rome as the King of the Jews, he is compelled to follow the star to Bethlehem and into danger. Balthazar’s adventurous life continues two decades after following the star when he is captured by a Bedouin tribesman who owes his life to Herod’s son. At first a prisoner and then regarded as a wise man, Balthazar experiences a crisis of faith after he impacts lives while revealing events in the magi’s travels and what they learned about the early life of Jesus. Thirty-three years after Dismas robs a family escaping to Egypt, King Gaspar and his servant Raheeb ponder if the man has fulfilled the child’s destiny. At the foot of Calvary, the angry criminal Daniel jibes at Gaspar though each needs help. Their fates intertwine in a desperate escape from Jerusalem. Weeks later, a shepherd with scars enters their camp; all experience an epiphany of faith. Trilogy of the Magi is a beautiful and intriguing retelling of Christ’s life through three tales that offer unique perspectives of biblical figures during decades of events in the royal magi’s lives. “A King’s Story is a beautifully written tale...a truly captivating, inspirational adventure ...” — Joseph F. Classen, author of Hunting for God, Fishing for the Lord
