Across a wide array of religious traditions, temples are sacred, private spaces where observers can worship with other members of their congregation. Temple worship in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly called the Mormon Church, is kept virtually secret from outsiders. And even Mormons themselves might find certain aspects of worship confusing. While respecting the privacy of church members, Jonathan A. Stapley's Holiness to the Lord provides an insightful, fresh overview of Latter-day Saints temple worship.

Church historians have long known and appreciated Christianity's global history. Until recently, however, introductory textbooks on the history of Christianity focused almost exclusively on Europe and North America. Robert Bruce Mullins's A Short World History of Christianity, by contrast, offers a panoramic picture of the history of Christianity in its Western and non-Western expressions.

In Murder in Manchuria, Scott D. Seligman explores an unsolved murder set amid the chaos that reigned in China in the run-up to World War II.

Semyon Kaspe, a young Jewish musician, is kidnapped, tortured, and ultimately murdered by disaffected, antisemitic White Russians, secretly acting on the orders of Japanese military overlords who covet his father's wealth.

The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump exposed a deep divide in American politics and culture, one that pollsters and pundits didn't seem to realize was there. But Trump did, and he used it to his advantage in ways that surprised nearly everyone, even those who voted for him. Perhaps the biggest question on many people's minds is how, exactly, did a crass, unrepentant reality TV star and cutthroat business tycoon secure the majority of the religious conservative vote?

Once in a generation, a historian will redefine his field, producing a book that demands to be read or heard - a product of electrifying scholarship conveyed with commanding skill.

The Keeper’s Lantern is a work of reflection, faith, and lived philosophy about suffering, responsibility, forgiveness, and the quiet strength required to continue forward when life becomes heavy. Part personal testimony, part spiritual meditation, and part philosophical framework, this book grows out of one central realization: human beings do not create the light that gives life meaning we are only entrusted to carry it. Rooted in contemplation of the teachings and work of Jesus, The Keeper’s Lantern explores faith not as certainty or perfection, but as endurance.

Saints of God, “It would be easier to assign a color to the wind than to adequately explain the awesome power of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—whether in prayer or otherwise.”

What do Jesus Christ, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Albert Einstein have in common? At first glance, almost nothing. One reshaped religion. One ignited revolutions. One uncovered the hidden forces of the human mind. One rewrote the laws of the universe. Yet all four emerged from the same ancient tradition, carrying with them habits of thought, moral tension, intellectual daring, and a restless drive to question the world.

What if the most obvious things you believe… aren’t facts at all, but assumptions you’ve never questioned? Like fish unaware of the water they swim in, we move through a world shaped by invisible ideas—ideas so pervasive they feel like reality itself. In Of Geometry and Jesus, Chris Spark takes you outside the fishbowl. Moving freely across science, philosophy, religion, anthropology, and lived experience, these essays challenge the boundaries we take for granted. What if reason depends on faith? What if culture doesn’t just influence what we think—but what we actually see?

In this manual, the author takes readers on an exploratory journey into the teachings of the Early Church on spiritual warfare. This book, which was written for the authors daughters, reveals age-old teachings from early Orthodox Church theologians, mystics and saints who essentially pioneered human psychology in the deserts, caves and monasteries of the Eastern Byzantine Empire at the dawn of Christianity. With a foundation in Scripture, the author dives deep into the seemingly bottomless well of wisdom that is the vast library of writings that these experienced practitioners left behind.

Ainda hoje as ideias budistas são vistas com um olhar que varia entre a curiosidade e o espanto. De fato, as propostas e práticas que para nós oscilam entre a filosofia e a religião operam uma espécie de "conciliação" entre fé e razão na realidade ocidental. Sem considerar as influências das relações intelectuais com a linguagem, a lógica e outros ramos do

Over the course of twenty-five centuries, Buddhism spread from its place of origin in northern India to become a global tradition of remarkable breadth, depth, and richness. Donald S. Lopez Jr. draws on the latest scholarship to construct a detailed and innovative history of Buddhism—not just as a chronology through the centuries or as geographic movement, but as a dense matrix of interconnections.

In Israel and Civilization, syndicated columnist, legal scholar, and popular commentator Josh Hammer makes a righteous case that the key to the prosperity of the West is the flourishing of the Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel. Hammer’s uplifting offense is our best defense against the enemies of the Jewish people, the Jewish state, and all the West. As Hammer makes clear, manifesting the promise of Israel requires action by the United States and its allies.

The ancient Mediterranean teemed with gods. For centuries, a practical religious pluralism prevailed. How, then, did one particular god come to dominate the politics and piety of the late Roman Empire? In Ancient Christianities, Paula Fredriksen traces the evolution of early Christianity—or rather, of early Christianities—through five centuries of Empire, mapping its pathways from the hills of Judea to the halls of Rome and Constantinople.

"The unexamined life is not worth living," according to Socrates, but pursuing the examined life strikes many as daunting, unappealing and even unnecessary. Is philosophy important? Why do I need philosophy if I have the Bible? Aren't philosophers simply engaged in meaningless disputes that are irrelevant to everyday life? Mark Foreman addresses these and other questions in this "prelude" to the subject. Unlike a full introduction to philosophy, this book is a preliminary discussion that dispels misunderstandings and explains the rationale for engaging in philosophical reasoning.

The content of this piece covers Enoch's journey through the multiple heavens, meeting the angels Gabriel and Michael, Enoch instructing Methuselah and his other sons on moral and ethical lessons, which he had written out in 366 books and which he eventually passes on to Methuselah and his other sons, so that his teachings wouldn't be lost and finally, Enoch's eventual assumption into heaven. This is essentially the sequel to the fabled Book of Enoch.
