Book excerpt: The Clan of the Cave Bear meets X-Files with an historical twist in The Two-Horned King. According to an ancient prophecy, mentioned in all the Abrahamic religions, Gog and Magog are the legendary enemies who will one day invade the world and cause Armageddon. But what if Gog and Magog were not what everyone had thought or imagined? What if Gog and Magog were part of a hidden history involving Alexander the Great's quest for immortality? When a team of archaeologists make a mysterious discovery in a long-forgotten cave in Tajikistan, the prophecy begins to unravel. There, they find the jawbone of a child, a massive burial pit filled with bones, and inscriptions on the walls of the cavern. Even more fascinating is that the location of the cavern is where legend states that Alexander the Great fought and drowned this ancient and mysterious tribe for no apparent reason. But when the team investigating the cave is killed in an "accident," Dr. Sarah Adams, an expert in natural language processing, is recruited along with her fiancé Rashad by Sam Kidd, a philanthropist and CEO of a tech conglomerate, to figure out the connection between the cave's text and an ancient corpse stumbled upon in the mountains of Iran. Jim McCoy, an anthropological geneticist, is also recruited. Together, they must use everything from quantum physics, ancient text decoding, and human evolution theories to uncover the mysteries behind the discoveries and a legendary icon. What Sarah, Rashad, Jim and the team discover is a shattering realization that will change the world's understanding of archaic humans forever. If Armageddon doesn't happen first.
Book Synopsis Michael and the Two-horned Beast by : Bernard Nesfield-Cookson
Download or read book Michael and the Two-horned Beast written by Bernard Nesfield-Cookson and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our materialistic and skeptical age, it can be difficult to take seriously the existence of real spiritual beings. Nevertheless, countless individuals -- from the historic founders of religions to those who have been through near-death experiences -- have spoken of beings of Light, such as Angels and Archangels, and 'evil' beings, spirits of darkness.The author, basing his work on Rudolf Steiner's teachings, presents an epic picture of the forces of 'good' and 'evil' -- a battle of cosmic dimensions in which we are all intimately involved. He clarifies the pivotal role of the Archangel Michael, the 'Guardian of Cosmic Intelligence, ' who fights to hold the balance between the key powers of evil in our time -- Lucifer and Ahriman -- and describes other members of the evil hierarchies. He also discusses the biblical Apocalypse of St. John, the Mexican Mysteries, and much else.This book is an essential guide to meeting the challenge of evil at the new millennium.

Book Synopsis Medieval Islam by : Gustave E. von Grunebaum
Download or read book Medieval Islam written by Gustave E. von Grunebaum and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface: "This book book has grown out of a series of public lectures delivered in the spring of 1945 in the Division of the Humanities of the University of Chicago. It proposes to outline the cultural orientation of the Muslim Middle Ages, with eastern Islam as the center of attention. It attempts to characterize the medieval Muslim's view of himself and his peculiarly defined universe, the fundamental intellectual and emotional attitudes that governed his works, and the mood in which he lived his life. It strives to explain the structure of his universe in terms of inherited, borrowed, and original elements, the institutional framework within which it functioned, and its place in relation to the contemporary Christian world. "A consideration of the various fields of cultural activity requires an analysis of the dominant interest, the intentions, and, to some extent, the methods of reasoning with which the Muslim approached his special subjects and to which achievement and limitations of achievement are due. Achievements referred to or personalities discussed will never be introduced for their own sake, let alone for the sake of listing the sum total of this civilization's major contributions. They are dealt with rather to evidence the peculiar ways in which the Muslim essayed to understand and to organize his world. "The plan of the book thus rules out the narration of political history beyond the barest skeleton, but it requires the ascertaining of the exact position of Islam in the medieval world and its significance. This plan also excludes a study of Muslim economy, but it leads to an interpretation of the social structure as molded by the prime loyalties cherished by the Muslim."

EXPLAIN the Story: Explores and illuminates each text as embedded in its canonical and historical setting. LIVE the Story: Reflects on how each text can be lived today and includes contemporary stories and illustrations to aid preachers, teachers, and students. —Daniel— The book of Daniel is often read for its contribution to our understanding of end-times events, but sometimes Christians have been so obsessed with this that we have missed its main message: God is in control, no matter how things look, and his kingdom will one day fill the earth. Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians, The Story of God Bible Commentary series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.
Book Synopsis Gog and Magog in Early Eastern Christian and Islamic Sources by : E.J. van Donzel
Download or read book Gog and Magog in Early Eastern Christian and Islamic Sources written by E.J. van Donzel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander's alleged Wall against Gog and Magog, often connected with the enclosure of the apocalyptic people, was a widespread theme among Syriac Christians in Mesopotamia. In the ninth century Sallam the Interpreter dictated an account of his search for the barrier to the Arab geographer Ibn Khurradadhbih. The reliability of Sallam's journey from Samarra to Western China and back (842-45), however, has always been a highly contested issue. Van Donzel and Schmidt consider the travel account as historical. This volume presents a translation of the source while at the same time it carefully looks into other Eastern Christian and Muslim traditions of the famous lore. A comprehensive survey reconstructs the political and topographical data. As so many other examples, also this story pays witness to the influence of the Syriac Christian tradition on Koran and Muslim Traditions.
Download or read book The Ruin of Kings written by Jenn Lyons and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kirkus Best of Science Fiction and Fantasy pick for 2019! A Library Journal Best Book of 2019! An NPR Favorite Book of 2019! "Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it."—Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians When destiny calls, there's no fighting back. Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions. Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins. Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world. He's destined to destroy it. Jenn Lyons begins the Chorus of Dragons series with The Ruin of Kings, an epic fantasy novel about a man who discovers his fate is tied to the future of an empire. "It's impossible not to be impressed with the ambition of it all . . . a larger-than-life adventure story about thieves, wizards, assassins and kings to dwell in for a good long while."—The New York Times A Chorus of Dragons 1: The Ruin of Kings 2: The Name of All Things 3: The Memory of Souls
