Excerpt: ...driven into the Mountain of the Temple and besieged there. The priests were in favour of Aristobulus. The people declared for Hyrcanus. Onias, a holy man of Jerusalem, had, in the people's opinion, obtained, by his prayers, rain from heaven 'in a great drought. The people thought, as did Balak in Balaam's time, that curses would be as effective as prayers. Therefore they pressed him to curse Aristobulus, and all who were with him. The old man, pressed by their importunities, lifted up his hand toward heaven, and prayed thus: "0 Lord God, creator of the univerte, since thote who are with us are thy people, and they who are betieged in thy temple are thy priettt, I pray that thou tcouldtt hear the prayer of neither of them againxt the other." The multitude became enraged, and Atoned to death the good Onlafl. The Romans were largely bribed by Aristobulus. Thoy forced ArCtas to raise the siege. Aristobulus pursued, routed, and slew great numbers of the army of Hyrcanus. Pompoy, the celebrated Roman general, was now at Damascus. Hyrcanus and Aristobulus pleaded their causes before him, first by their ambassadors, afterwards in person. The people declared against both. They said they were not to be governed by kings, but by the priests of God. Pompey hesitated. Aristobulus prepared for war. Pompey seized him in one of his castles, confined him m prison, and laid siege to Jerusalem. He was received in the city by the party of Hyrcanus. He besieged the temple and the Castle Baris, and took them in three months time. Though the Jews had observed, during the Maccabean wars, the law which they had made to fight, if attacked, on the Sabbath, they considered that they were not attacked when they aw the Romans arranging for attack their works...

Book Synopsis Why Bother with History? by : Beverley C. Southgate
Download or read book Why Bother with History? written by Beverley C. Southgate and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-04 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: .Why Bother With History? argues for an increasingly important role for a revitalised historical study. Examining the motivations of past historians, the author rejects the ancient aspiration to a 'history for its own sake' and argues that historians' importance lies in their own adoption of a moral standpoint, from which a story of the past can be told, that facilitates the attainment of a future we desire. Inevitably controversial, in that it challenges many of the assumptions of modernist history, this is an interdisciplinary book, which draws in particular on psychology and literature.
Book Synopsis New Worlds, Ancient Texts by : Anthony Grafton
Download or read book New Worlds, Ancient Texts written by Anthony Grafton and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1995-03-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describing an era of exploration during the Renaissance that went far beyond geographic bounds, this book shows how the evidence of the New World shook the foundations of the old, upsetting the authority of the ancient texts that had guided Europeans so far afield. What Anthony Grafton recounts is a war of ideas fought by mariners, scientists, publishers, and rulers over a period of 150 years. In colorful vignettes, published debates, and copious illustrations, we see these men and their contemporaries trying to make sense of their discoveries as they sometimes confirm, sometimes contest, and finally displace traditional notions of the world beyond Europe.

Book Synopsis Lamentations in Ancient and Contemporary Cultural Contexts by : Nancy C. Lee
Download or read book Lamentations in Ancient and Contemporary Cultural Contexts written by Nancy C. Lee and published by Society of Biblical Lit. This book was released on 2008 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal tragedy and communal catastrophe up to the present day are universal human experiences that call forth lament. Lament singers--from the most ancient civilizations to traditional oral poets to the biblical psalmists and poets of Lamentations to popular singers across the globe--have always raised the cry of human suffering, giving voice to the voiceless, illuminating injustice, or pleading for divine help. This volume gathers an international collection of essays on biblical lament and Lamentations, illuminating their genres, artistry, purposes, and significant place in the history and theologies of ancient Israel. It also explores lament across cultures, both those influenced by biblical traditions and those not, as the practices of composition, performance, and interpretation of life's suffering continue to shed light on our knowledge of biblical lament. --From publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Ancient Civilization an Introduction to Modern History by : Arthur Mayer Wolfson
Download or read book Ancient Civilization an Introduction to Modern History written by Arthur Mayer Wolfson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Civilization an Introduction to Modern History The purpose of this book is indicated on the title page. It is written to meet the needs of classes which can devote only a brief amount of time to the study of Ancient History before taking up the study of Medieval and Modern History. The "Committee of Five" of the American Historical Association recommends "that if it seems wise to omit any detailed study of ancient history and to give three years substantially to the other three blocks, the teacher, while omitting all detail, may still attempt to give his pupils some idea of the growth of the ancient nations, and some idea of their achievements and their qualities." With this aim in view, only such details of the political history of antiquity have been here included as are necessary for an understanding of ancient civilization. Furthermore, only such elements of the life of the people of antiquity have been emphasized as arc necessary for a thorough comprehension of the history of Western Europe in modern times. The book is written especially for the use of pupils in the first or second year of the high school course. The point of view of boys and girls fifteen or sixteen years old has therefore been kept in mind in the selection of details and in the wording and arrangement of the text; and also in the choice of maps and illustrations. The maps arc adequate for making clear the geographical references in the text. Several large pictures have been made to illustrate the text - an object seldom attained by the illustrations in ancient histories. These pictures are carefully designed to arouse the imagination of the readers, and to assist them in realizing the conditions of life in ancient times. Acknowledgment is due to Mr. Morris C. Deshel, teacher of history in the DeWitt Clinton High School, for his assistance in getting together the material for this textbook, and for the preparation of the references given under the Search Topics. For helpful criticisms, also, the author's thanks are due to the history teachers in the DeWitt Clinton High School and in the Julia Richman High School.

Informative maps, chronologies, and tables also give students a closer look into the rise and fall of these great civilizations. Learning extends beyond the book with UTP's History Matters website (www.utphistorymatters.com) which includes relevant essay and multiple choice questions. With A Short History of the Ancient World, Rauh has crafted a comprehensive exploration of humanity's most fascinating early civilizations.
