In the late 1820s, John Nelson Darby abandoned his career as a priest in the Church of Ireland to become one of the principal leaders of a small but rapidly growing religious movement that became known as the “Plymouth Brethren.” Darby and other brethren modified the Calvinism that was common among their evangelical contemporaries, developing distinctive positions on key doctrines relating to salvation, the church, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the end times.

There can be no doubt that the essence of Islamic civilization is Islam; or that the essence of Islam is tawhid, the act of affirming Allah to be the One, absolute, transcendent Creator, Lord and Master of all that is. These two fundamental premises are self-evident. They have never been in doubt by those belonging to this civilization or participating in it. Only in recent times have missionaries, Orientalists, and other interpreters of Islam subjected these premises to doubt.

For over 500 years, Martin Luther’s defiant challenge to the Catholic Church has shaped Christianity, theology, and Western society. This book offers a deep and nuanced exploration of his legacy, examining both his triumphs and controversies.

Michael Wolffsohn setzt sich, ausgehend von der aktuellen Politik, in seinem neuen Buch mit dem Verhältnis von Judentum, Christentum und Islam–gestern, heute und morgen–auseinander. In gewohnt pointierter Weise zieht er dazu Geschichte und Theologie heran. Seine illusionslosen und dennoch teils humorvollen und immer messerscharfen Analysen gelten insbesondere Terror, Krieg und Gewalt. Seine große mediale Präsenz als Talkshowgast, Interviewpartner und Publizist erklärt sich durch seine Fähigkeit zu faktengesättigten und allgemeinverständlichen Statements, die auch dieses Buch prägen.

There has never been a husband and wife with a teaching and legacy like Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon's. ‘Revolutionary’ is totally inadequate to describe it. And, it will radically change the world for the better, one person at a time, guaranteed, perhaps beginning with you.

The Books of Enoch: Apocryphal Trilogy (Expanded Edition) invites you to rediscover one of the most mysterious and spiritually charged collections ever preserved outside the traditional biblical canon. For centuries, these writings were lost, hidden, or deliberately excluded—yet their visions of angels, cosmic justice, divine order, and apocalyptic truth have never stopped whispering through time.

From the best-selling author of the biography of Shunryu Suzuki (Crooked Cucumber), comes a memoir and oral history of Tassajara—a monastery founded in 1967 by Shunryu Suzuki, abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center. Peopled like a Sixties film of Buddhist invasion, with hippies, dreamers, lovers, a wave of serious practitioners. Nyogen Senzaki, D.T. Suzuki, Alan Watts, Ruth Fuller Sasaki, Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg, and of course Shunryu Suzuki and Richard Baker are all here. This is the story of what happened at and surrounding the founding of the first Zen monastery in the West.

Historians have extensively studied the Old and New Testaments and used the scriptures to trace the rise of one of the world's earliest civilisations. Although it's difficult to confirm the stories in the Bible from a historical perspective, it's possible that myths originated from real events. This is why geologists are investigating the truth about the Flood and Noah's Ark, meteorologists and biologists are trying to understand the ten plagues that affected Egypt, and biblical scholars are searching for evidence of catastrophes that might have destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Jewish masculinity as a diverse set of adaptive reactions to masculine hegemony and the political, religious, and social realities of American Jews throughout the twentieth century. For twentieth-century Jewish immigrants and their children attempting to gain full access to American society, performative masculinity was a tool of acculturation. However, as scholar Miriam Eve Mora demonstrates, this performance is consistently challenged by American mainstream society that holds Jewish men outside of the American ideal of masculinity.

Los caballeros templarios se han consolidado como la organización militar más popular de la época medieval. Todo el mundo ha oído hablar de la orden, y todo el mundo está familiarizado con la imagen de un caballero cruzado medieval con una cruz roja en su uniforme blanco. Pero, ¿quiénes eran exactamente los templarios? ¿Cuál era su objetivo? ¿Y son ciertos los rumores sobre su naturaleza secreta?

We hear the voices of the early Church Fathers even today. Their teachings, their guidance, their insights, and their sacrifice shaped the Catholic Church. They defined the canon of Scripture. They developed our creeds and forms of worship. They defined Christianity's distinctive moral sense. But who were they? What can we learn from their ancient teachings? What can the Fathers teach the twenty-first century—about holiness, culture, faith, and the Gospel.

Have you ever considered what sermon would be the last one you will hear? It’s not a matter of if you will hear it, but when. Dechamps boldly declares, “We are all living in the last days.” He asserts that it’s much more about our own “last days” than a global end of the world scenario. This profound guide challenges our comfortable notions of security amidst the complexities of our world.

Since the days of Nimrod, rooted in the knowledge of the antediluvian watchers, secret societies have been working to usher in human enlightenment, ascend humanity into godhood and provoke a final battle with the Creator. They will get their battle of Armageddon, but they will not win. In Secret Societies Blood Never Sleeps, we study history’s most prominent secret societies and their lasting effects on our culture, religion, government and laws. Should a Christian join a secret society? What role does Nimrod and the Tower of Babel play in the grand scheme?

Eine Wiederauflage der LP Abraham aus dem Jahr 1968.

In the spring of 1954, Sid Caesar was America’s number one mensch. Each Saturday night, the 31-year-old sketch comic from Yonkers performed for a crowd of twenty million—some crammed into Manhattan’s cavernous Center Theater, but most plopped on their couches, where Caesar beamed back at them through some of the first TVs to light up living rooms. For many Americans, Caesar was television. And Your Show of Shows, the 90-minute variety program that catapulted him to stardom, was his magnum opus.

Mandell Creighton (1843-1901) was an English historian, bishop, and scholar, best known for his work on the history of the Papacy and the Renaissance. Born in Carlisle, England, he studied at Oxford, where he later became a fellow and tutor. Creighton was a meticulous historian who emphasized the importance of understanding historical figures in their context, avoiding anachronistic judgments. He was admired for his intellectual rigor and ability to balance academic and ecclesiastical duties. He was universally mourned at his death in 1901.

A child was born two thousand years ago in a little village called Bethlehem. His birth fulfilled over 300 Old Testament scripture verses prophesying this event. Hundreds of people, royal ambassadors, kings, angels, shepherd priests, and countless others were in attendance to herald this event. Over the decades, the details have become obscured. What we celebrate in our churches at Christmas is not close to the actual details that took place. My favorite example is the innkeeper role in the annual play. What was his name? It doesn't matter; he did not exist. He is just a made up character.

Knowing Christ Today has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher.

Christianity is the largest religion in the US with upwards of 200 million people, and its churches often possess an allure and beauty that fascinate even the most committed atheist. What fascinates Fergus Butler-Gallie is that each place of worship tells a story—of place, time, and most of all, people.
