Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Island of Cyprus" had been known since antiquity for its beauty and its strategic significance, but many do not know that Cyprus is also known throughout Biblical Scripture. This guide will take you on a journey to the Biblical archaeological sites and let you relive the cultures and characters as seen through "Cypriot" eyes. You will see how cultures collided to collective define the "Island Of Cyprus" that we know today. Looking back to the past we will not only understand Cyprus, but we will also get a clearer understanding of the Bible and its roots. Cyprus at times is overshadowed by the Middle East and the vast array of archaeological sites related to the Bible, but just under the surface in Cyprus both the Old and New Testament stories come to life. In this guide we have decided to explore all the personalities and characters related to the Bible directly. There are many other ancient remains here on the island, but we have narrowed our journey and discussion to only include the history as seen through Scripture. We will explore the history of Cyprus starting with the Bronze-Age sites as referenced in the Old Testament and then move up to the Roman era and highlight the New Testament Biblical sites and the churches that grew out of that history. So come and explore the Cyprus that you probably do not know historically and then endeavor to understand the beauty of its beaches and vivid landscapes, its history, and its people, both past and present, and then you will see that the Bible is alive and living still in Cyprus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume moves discussion of ancient Israelite culture beyond concepts of isolation and borders, factoring in already well-known insights from classical studies and ancient history that take greater account of the impressive connections between all the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Specifically, the contributors focus on Cyprus and the Bible and offer archaeological and biblical insights to consider how and in what ways, Cyprus and Cypriot culture was related to biblical life and perceptions. Though the Mediterranean separated Palestine from Cyprus, it also joined them; archaeological finds expose significant trade relations and cultural commonalities, not only in the Hellenistic and late-Roman eras, but for many centuries prior. These relations developed and became even more intimate in the later biblical period, as evidenced by early Jewish and Christian writings. By exploring various methods of cultural contact, the contributors suggest that further examination of cultural links between Cyprus and Palestine in the biblical period can repay dividends in understanding the development of ancient Israelite religion, early Judaism, and early Christianity.

Book excerpt: Allan Langdale's guide to the archaeology and historical architecture of northern Cyprus surveys the remarkable history of one of the most culturally rich regions in the world. Given the area's isolation, especially since 1974, such a book is a welcome resource as more people discover this virtually lost quarter of the Mediterranean. One can explore the ruins of ancient towns dating back 6000 years, descend into monumental tombs from the Bronze Age, and investigate centuries-old churches and monasteries, while also being delighted by marvelous sights such as an elegant 14th century French gothic cathedral, now a mosque, situated on the seashore merely 100 miles from the coast of Syria. This book is more than a guide. Langdale's text enlivens the archaeological sites and ancient buildings with the rich historical contexts relevant to each monument. Liberally augmented by compelling accounts of ancient voyagers, and generously illustrated by the author's own photographs, this book is a must read for anyone contemplating a trip to the northern part of Cyprus. The extraordinary depth of history in this region has been ebbing from our consciousness for decades, preempted by Cyprus's acutely contemporary political issues. This book gives new life to the area's long architectural heritage, surveying prehistoric settlements, Greco-Roman cities, Byzantine castles, Gothic cathedrals, and village shrines situated in landscapes laden with history; all supplemented by the personal testimonies of travelers throughout the centuries. Langdale's text - accessible, enthusiastic and learned at once - is an invaluable 'Open Sesame' to the riches of the region and should be in every visitor's backpack. He makes each footstep an adventure in time. Annemarie Weyl Carr, University Distinguished Professor of Art History Emerita, Southern Methodist University. Allan Langdale's Guide is a hugely important study of great interest to anyone with a passion for this Mediterranean island and its magnificent cultural heritage. Written with a deep knowledge of the field, and harnessed to an obvious personal passion for the art and architecture of Cyprus, Langdale has brought these exquisite monuments back to life. The book is a must read for scholars and amateur explorers alike. - Associate Professor Michael J. K. Walsh, School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Informative and wide ranging. Allan Langdale knows what he is writing about: he has a close knowledge of the sites and buildings he describes, and what shines through is his enthusiasm and commitment. - Professor Peter Edbury, School of History, Archaeology and Religion, Cardiff University.

The coasts, ports and marinas of the island of Cyprus are also described. There are few more beautiful cities in the world that it is possible to sail into the heart of, but that is what the authors were able to do in Istanbul while researching this, the tenth edition. Their research also took them south as far as Göçek and to Cyprus. Much has changed, with new marinas completed and more under construction, but much has also stayed the same, namely the warmth and hospitality of the people you encounter. This new edition includes all the latest information and marina developments, with new plans and photos, many of which were taken by the authors. Turkish Waters and Cyprus Pilot is considered the essential companion to sailing these waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed expert in Christian mysticism travels to a monastery high in the Trodos Mountains of Cyprus and offers a fascinating look at the Greek Orthodox approach to spirituality that will appeal to readers of Carlos Castaneda. In an engaging combination of dialogues, reflections, conversations, history, and travel information, Kyriacos C. Markides continues the exploration of a spiritual tradition and practice little known in the West he began in Riding with the Lion. His earlier book took readers to the isolated peninsula of Mount Athos in northern Greece and into the group of ancient monasteries. There, in what might be called a “Christian Tibet,” two thousand monks and hermits practice the spiritual arts to attain a oneness with God. In his new book, Markides follows Father Maximos, one of Mount Athos’s monks, to the troubled island of Cyprus. As Father Maximos establishes churches, convents, and monasteries in this deeply divided land, Markides is awakened anew to the magnificent spirituality of the Greek Orthodox Church. Images of the land and the people of Cyprus and details of its tragic history enrich the Mountain of Silence. Like the writings of Castaneda, the book brilliantly evokes the confluence of an inner and outer journey. The depth and richness of its spiritual message echo the thoughts and writings of Saint Francis of Assisi and other great saints of the Church as well. The result is a remarkable work–a moving, profoundly human examination of the role and the power of spirituality in a complex and confusing world.
