In this enlightening book, anthropologist Manvir Singh offers a new explanation for one of the most misunderstood religious traditions. Travelling from Indonesia to the Amazon, living with shamans and observing music, drug use and indigenous curing ceremonies, he journeys into the origins of shamanism. Fundamentally, shamans are specialists who use altered states to engage with unseen realities and provide services like healing and divination. As Singh shows, shamanism’s ubiquity stems from its psychological resonance.

A fast-paced true story of Holocaust survival, where death lurks around every corner, The Journalist, a story unlike any other Holocaust memoir, depicts life in a concentration camp as well as tales of the death marches, a bold escape, the days of wandering in the forest dodging Nazi troops, the unceasing pangs of hunger, and the years of searching and longing to live in a free country. Will the journalist live to fulfill his destiny, or will his life be cut short by one of the world's biggest atrocities?

Jesus's command to the disciples to heal the sick and cast out demons was an integral part of the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom of God in the early centuries of the church. Did we lose God's gift of healing and deliverance in the church as the centuries rolled on? Can we mesh Christian healing with scientific progress? A Case for Healing Today presents biblical, historical, and theological perspectives on Christian healing. Through an understanding of author Bob Sawvelle's meticulous research, Christians can proclaim and demonstrate the good news of God's healing presence today.

Embracing Exile analyzes biblical and rabbinic texts, philosophical treatises, studies of Kabbalah, Hasidism, and a multiplicity of modern expressions. It offers revised readings of the Bible's book of Esther, a survey of Talmudic treatments of exile, an in-depth analysis of the thought of the Maharal of Prague, as well as the work of Philip Roth, among other modern authors. David Kraemer shows that Diaspora Jews through the ages insisted that God joined them in their exiles and that, as citizens of the world, Jews could only live throughout the world.

This is a book about reading the Greco-Roman classics as Christians—the why, the how, and to a lesser extent, the when. This exercise, equal parts intellectual and spiritual, is timely. Just as our bodies are what we eat, so are our minds what we consume. The past few years have seen the appearance of books on the value of literature in nourishing our minds and souls—developing the practice of reading not just the Bible but all that we read for spiritual formation. Most such books have focused largely on medieval and modern literature, involving antiquity only occasionally.

"The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean" offer the key to unlocking the mysteries of existence, the science of transformation, and the esoteric knowledge that will empower you to completely reshape your life—mentally, spiritually, and physically.

Christianity believes every religion, faith and religious organization — aside from Christianity - is a cult. In actuality, by its very definition, every religion is a cult, including the religion — the cult - of Christianity. In his bold, yet controversial new book, The Cult of Christianity, Mike Williams takes on the religious dogmas, oral traditions, borrowed myths and outright lies that make up so much of what Christians believe, and from which they need to be freed.

St. Frances of Rome (1384–1440) displayed mystical gifts from childhood. Though she longed to remain a virgin, her parents arranged a marriage for her, and, as a wife and mother, she led a devout life that mirrored that of a consecrated religious, through fervent prayer and tireless works of charity. In fact, she founded a community of Benedictine oblates who live according to the Rule of St. Benedict, each according to her own state in life; the community now counts thousands of members worldwide. Frequently, St.

This study is a profound blessing for listeners seeking to understand the fascinating intersections between Kabbalah and Christianity. Triggered by a statement from Gershom Scholem regarding the prophetic revelations of Abraham Ben Samuel Abulafia, we delve into a world where unintentional similarities with Christian doctrine caused confusion among Abulafia's pupils, some of whom even accepted baptism.

When we talk about Jesus, we are always unanimous in answering that Jesus Christ is the Savior, is the son of God or God with us. A habit inherited from the Christian culture of repeating concepts that are transmitted to us about Jesus. Generally, the definition of Jesus Christ is made in a laconic and habitual way of seeing this character that runs through our history. This entity has settled in our history, and that his image does not wear out over time. That is, it doesn’t lose value.

This book is about four cornerstones of modern thought that were put in place by people living in the ancient Mediterranean world. It covers approximately 2,000 years in time (from ca. 1000 BCE to 1000 CE) and spatially moves from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia (roughly, modern Iraq), through Greece and Rome, to the new Germanic states growing in what is now western Europe.

In this new biography of Abraham, Judaism's foundational figure, Anthony Julius offers an account of the origins of a fundamental struggle within Judaism between skepticism and faith, critique and affirmation, thinking for oneself and thinking under the direction of another. Julius describes Abraham's life as two separate lives, and as a version of the collective life of the Jewish people.

The Bible. God inspired it. But who wrote it? The Bible is called "the Word of God" because God inspired it, but that's not precisely the same as saying that He wrote it. In fact, the Bible itself contains dozens of statements showing who the human authors were. As with so many things in our world, God the Almighty did His work through human agents, agents that He moved to write down the words by which He has inspired, informed, and encouraged His people for thousands of years.

Gnosticism was a contemporary of early Christianity, and its demise can be traced to Christianity's efforts to silence its teachings. The Gnostic message, however, was not destroyed but simply went underground. Starting with the first emergence of Gnosticism, the author shows how its influence extended from the teachings of neo-Platonists and the magical traditions of the Middle Ages to the beliefs and ideas of the Sufis, Jacob Böhme, Carl Jung, Rudolf Steiner, and the Rosicrucians and Freemasons.
