Discover the extraordinary period of Christian history when thousands fled to the Egyptian desert and changed the faith forever. Between 270 and 450 CE, something unprecedented happened in Christianity. As the faith transitioned from persecuted minority to imperial religion, thousands of believers made a radical choice: they walked into the desert. Not fleeing persecution, but fleeing comfort. Not seeking death, but seeking a different kind of life entirely.

In the late 1990s, Infinity Foundation played a significant role in countering misinterpretations and distortions about Lord Rama taught in American schools and being presented in the media, which led to the term ‘Rama Phobia’.

In this collection of essays skeptical scholar Joseph McCabe examines three contentious issues related to the assertions of the apostle: The historicity of the Resurrection; The historicity of Jesus; The rapid spread of Christianity. Using the tools of historical analysis, McCabe concludes that the claims about both the identity and resurrection of Jesus rest on shaky ground, and that myths about dying and rising gods occur frequently in pre-Christian history.

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.

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.

Rome did not fear wine. It feared what wine could gather. When the cult of Bacchus spread through the Roman Republic, it was more than a religious movement. It was secret meetings. Night rituals. Shared vows. A god who did not answer to the Senate. In 186 BCE, the state struck back. The Bacchanalian scandal led to investigations, arrests, and one of the most dramatic religious suppressions in Roman history. Yet Bacchus survived. This audiobook traces the rise of Rome’s wine god from his Greek origins to his transformation within Roman society.

Jesus’ preaching was first and foremost about simple living, pacifism, and vegetarianism; he never intended to create a new religion separate from Judaism. Moreover, Jesus’ radical Jewish ethics, rather than a new theology, distinguished him and his followers from other Jews. It was the earliest followers of Jesus, the Jewish Christians, who understood Jesus better than any of the gentile Christian groups, which are the spiritual ancestors of modern Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox churches.

What happened during the decades the Gospels never mention? Between the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem and his emergence at the Jordan River lies a vast silence. No record of his childhood. No explanation of how a carpenter's son became the most influential figure in human history. The Missing Years fills that silence—a year-by-year account of the formative life no one recorded. Here is the boy who lost his father at fourteen and became head of a large family. The young man who turned down a fortune and a marriage proposal to stay true to his mission.

O ataque terrorista cometido contra israelenses no dia 7 de outubro de 2023 entrou para a história como o pior ato de violência contra os judeus desde o Holocausto. No dia seguinte, em vez de condenação total do ato, o mundo testemunhou uma prova da desordem moral do Ocidente no século XXI: nas universidades, nas ruas e na imprensa, as pessoas tomaram partido não dos judeus, mas de seus assassinos. Como isso aconteceu? Por que tantos membros das elites educadas deram de ombros diante do pior pogrom antissemita em quase 80 anos? Por que “antifascistas” se aproximaram dos fascistas do Hamas?

Del padre Pío a Carlo Acutis, pasando por nombres imprescindibles, estas vidas demuestran que los santos también son imperfectos. Antes de ser venerados, muchos santos fueron cuestionados. ¿Qué hubo detrás de la fama, los milagros y las devociones? ¿Qué significa realmente ser santo? José María Zavala, autor de la novela El profeta, se adentra en la cara menos conocida de algunas de las figuras más influyentes de la Iglesia: persecuciones, dudas, escándalos, errores, campañas de descrédito y, en ocasiones, el golpe más doloroso: el ataque que llega desde dentro.
