Download or read book THE BATTLE OF JERICHO: Myth or Fact? written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Battle of Jericho: Myth or Fact?" is a comprehensive exploration into one of the most debated events in Biblical archaeology. Authored by a conservative Evangelical Christian Apologist and Biblical Archaeologist, this scholarly work delves deeply into the historical and archaeological evidence surrounding the ancient city of Jericho, famously known for its walls that collapsed at the blast of Joshua’s trumpet as recounted in the Bible. Structured in a systematic and detailed manner, the book begins with an introductory overview of biblical archaeology, providing readers with essential methodologies, tools, and principles used in archaeological research. It establishes the foundational techniques for uncovering and interpreting historical data, emphasizing the comparative value of archaeology in illuminating biblical narratives. Subsequent chapters are devoted to a chronological examination of the key archaeological expeditions at Jericho, from Charles Warren's pioneering 1868 excavation to the ongoing Italian-Palestinian Jericho Expedition's research up to 2023. Each chapter meticulously analyzes the objectives, findings, methodologies, and historical impacts of the respective excavations, presenting a critical assessment of their contributions to both archaeology and biblical scholarship. Particularly noteworthy is the detailed discussion of the contrasting findings and interpretations of archaeologists such as John Garstang, who supported the biblical timeline, and Kathleen Kenyon, whose conclusions challenged it. The book revisits Bryant G. Wood’s critical contributions in the 1980s and 1990s, reevaluating earlier findings and offering new perspectives based on pottery analysis and radiocarbon dating techniques. The culmination of these discussions leads to an in-depth analysis of the walls of Jericho, examining their construction, the evidence of their destruction by fire, and the lessons these findings provide for both archaeology and faith. The narrative then synthesizes all archaeological data to address the central question: "Was the Battle of Jericho a myth or a historical fact?" Looking forward, the final chapters discuss the future of biblical archaeology with a focus on emerging trends, innovations, and the increasing role of digital tools in enhancing archaeological accuracy. It also considers the ethical implications of excavating sacred sites, emphasizing the need for collaborative endeavors that respect cultural and spiritual heritage. "The Battle of Jericho: Myth or Fact?" is designed for a diverse audience, appealing to academic scholars, students of archaeology and biblical studies, and lay readers interested in the historical validity of biblical events. This volume seeks to affirm the historical reliability of the Bible through rigorous academic inquiry, grounded in a steadfast faith in its divine inspiration.

Download or read book Myth and Reality of the Legitimacy Crisis written by Carolien van Ham and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theories about the decline of legitimacy or a legitimacy crisis are as old as democracy itself. Yet, representative democracy still exists, and the empirical evidence for a secular decline of political support in established democracies is limited, questionable, or absent. This lack of conclusive evidence calls into question existing explanatory theories of legitimacy decline. How valid are theories of modernization, globalization, media malaise, social capital, and party decline, if the predicted outcome (i.e. secular decline of political support) does not occur? And which (new) explanations can account for the empirical variation in political support in established democracies? This book systematically evaluates the empirical evidence for legitimacy decline in established democracies, the explanatory power of theories of legitimacy decline, and promises new routes in investigating and assessing political legitimacy. In doing so, the book provides a broad and thorough reflection on the state of the art of legitimacy research, and outlines a new research agenda on legitimacy.

Download or read book Gun Control Myths written by John Lott and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lott blows away one false myth about gun ownership after another. As Andrew Pollack's Foreward notes; "Learn the actual facts that debunk them." From myths about mass public shootings to suicides to gun ownership rates and crime to gun free zones, Lott addresses the claims you frequently hear in the media and explains what is wrong with those claims. "John Lott has been giving us the facts about guns for decades. Finally clear to all that one party in America has an anti-Second Amendment platform and wants to disarm you. Now you need to arm yourself with the Truth. Buy and read Gun Control Myths today. Before it's too late." Sebastian Gorka Ph.D.,host of AMERICAN First, former Strategist to President Trump "John Lott shows that the media and many politicians are biased against guns. For example, many stories are written in the media about shooters, but very few about defensive uses of guns. Similarly, he shows that some gun control policies are actually counterproductive. Shooters seek out gun-free zones. If we banned "assault" weapons, shooters might shift to larger hunting guns. The book is copiously footnoted. It is full of statistical and graphical analysis, so that his points are easily grasped and persuasive. Anyone who advocates gun control and does not seriously consider John's work is negligent. Any journalist who does not at least consider John's work is committing journalistic malpractice." Paul H. Rubin, Dobbs Professor of Economics Emeritus, Emory University "We have John Lott to thank for once again providing factual and empirical based research to counter the anti gun movement's well funded and organized campaign based on nothing more than slogans, myths and propaganda designed to demonize supporters of our cherished Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms." David Clarke Sheriff(RET) Milwaukee County "John Lott is the go-to expert when it comes to protecting the second amendment. Without the second amendment Americans could be stripped of our right to arm ourselves against aggressors. Arm yourselves with knowledge by reading "Gun Control Myths" and join me in protecting the Second Amendment." Eric Bolling Host "AMERICA This Week" Sinclair Broadcast

This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of Dr John Auping seeks to assist readers to differentiate observationally verified aspects of cosmology from ideas whose verification is distant, or perhaps impossible. Such a task is performed by using a careful application of the orthodox scientific method. This English edition is a part of Auping’s original work especially devoted to the description of the dynamics of stars, and the analysis of the Big Bang, steady state and multiverse models from a critical point of view. The author approaches different aspects of the evolution of the Universe using different branches of astrophysics, Newtonian mechanics, nuclear physics, thermodynamics, quantum physics and general relativity, with a clear and concise narrative. Mathematical boxes support the deeper study of mathematical-physical relations, which can be omitted by readers who are not specialised.

Download or read book Myths and Realities of Caribbean History written by Basil A. Reid and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2009-04-12 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to debunk eleven popular and prevalent myths about Caribbean history. Using archaeological evidence, it corrects many previous misconceptions promulgated by history books and oral tradition as they specifically relate to the pre-Colonial and European-contact periods. It informs popular audiences, as well as scholars, about the current state of archaeological/historical research in the Caribbean Basin and asserts the value of that research in fostering a better understanding of the region’s past. Contrary to popular belief, the history of the Caribbean did not begin with the arrival of Europeans in 1492. It actually started 7,000 years ago with the infusion of Archaic groups from South America and the successive migrations of other peoples from Central America for about 2,000 years thereafter. In addition to discussing this rich cultural diversity of the Antillean past, Myths and Realities of Caribbean History debates the misuse of terms such as “Arawak” and “Ciboneys,” and the validity of Carib cannibalism allegations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This hands-on guide teaches executives of small and medium-size U.S. companies how to establish and maintain profitable business in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Unlike the "old" Latin America, today's Latin America is both readily accessible to smaller North American companies and is being transformed into a bustling business environment. However, for those without a native, in-depth understanding of the emerging changes within today's Latin American marketplace and a grasp of the cultural implications at hand, doing business in Latin America can still be challenging for smaller U.S. exporters and importers. Doing Business in the New Latin America: Keys to Profit in America's Next-Door Markets, Second Edition serves as an insider's travel guide and trader's manual for understanding the region's market environment and best export sales opportunities in each of its countries. It lays the groundwork for finding and developing ideal prospects while avoiding pitfalls and foreigners' faux pas. Part I familiarizes readers with Latin America in general, profiling its nations from a business perspective; Part II explains how Latin American business attitudes developed from a historical perspective. The third section of the text focuses on the all-important art of making—and keeping—the deal.

Download or read book Myth and Reality in the U.S. Immigration Debate written by Greg Prieto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What part of illegal don’t you understand?" This oft-repeated slogan from immigration restrictionists illustrates the contentious quality of the immigration reform debate in the United States: a debate that has raged on unresolved since at least 1986 when our immigration system was last reformed. This impasse is due, in large part, to widespread misinformation about immigration. This short and accessible textbook takes a critical perspective on immigration law and policy, arguing that immigrant "illegality" is itself produced by law, with tremendous consequences for individuals and families. Across six chapters that examine the conceptual, historical, economic, global, legal, and racial dimensions of immigration to the United States, Prieto argues that illegal immigration is a problem of policy, not people. History and cutting-edge social science data guide an analysis of the actual, empirical impact of immigration on U.S. society. By debunking myths about immigration, the reader is invited to form their own opinion on the basis of fact and in light of the unequal treatment different immigrant groups have received since the nation’s founding. Myth and Reality in the U.S. Immigration Debate synthesizes key lessons from the fields of sociology, law and society, history, economics and critical race studies in a digestible and engaging format. This text will serve as an introduction to the study of immigration and a primer for those who wish to engage in a sober and compassionate conversation about immigrants and immigration in the United States.
