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.

The Protestant Reformation is often associated most closely with Martin Luther, and it’s often considered to have started when Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. However, the Reformation cannot be reduced to a single, abrupt, and exceptional event, but must be traced to a much longer process of spiritual, social, and intellectual transformation that unfolded over the late medieval period.

To say that the Christian Church has an "image problem" doesn't quite capture it. From the Crusades and the Inquisition to the racism and abuse present in today's Church—both in Catholic and Protestant traditions—the institution that Christ established on earth has a lot to answer for. But the Church has also had moments throughout history when it has been in tune with Jesus' teachings—from the rise of charity to the invention of hospitals. John Dickson gives an honest account of the mixed history of Christianity, the evil and the good.

El Jesús Judío que Nadie Nos Enseñó revela al Mesías desde sus raíces hebreas, devolviéndolo al contexto cultural, religioso y social en el que vivió, enseñó y transformó vidas. Durante siglos, la imagen de Jesús ha sido filtrada por interpretaciones alejadas de su identidad original. Este libro invita al lector a reencontrarse con Yeshua —su nombre hebreo— como maestro judío, profeta poderoso y guía espiritual, cuya misión cobra un nuevo significado cuando se estudia desde las fuentes más antiguas: la Biblia hebrea, la historia judía del siglo I, la arqueología y la tradición rabínica.

Refusing to practice a religion foreign to your conscience and belief is the very epitome of what it means to be Protestant. When a tyrannical power forbids a people from practicing according to their own religious belief and conscience, and they do so anyway, even if in secret, they are acting in Protest. James A. Wylie brings the principle that is Protestantism nearer in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ to its beginning. We learn in these pages that there were protesters long before the moniker became universally used following the 16th century.

Who were the Nephilim? What dark truths lie behind the Tower of Babel? Could Atlantis have been more than myth? And what do these mysteries reveal about our world today?

Rooted in a solid biblical foundation, this book fearlessly explores the days of Noah, the giants who walked the earth, and the chilling parallels between Scripture and ancient mythology.

Islam is a socio-political system founded on a religion. Its laws are a set of irrevocable and unchanging religious commands written in the 7th century in a book called the Quran (Koran) by a man named Mohammed (Muhammad). Not all chapters in the Quran are valid because, even though the Quran is not written in chronological order, only the author’s last word on any subject stands. These facts and many more tend to obscure the true meaning and intent of Islam. Who was Mohammed? What did he teach? Was he a prophet or a warlord? Did Mohammed actually marry a six-year-old girl?

Exemption of Ra is not a spiritual guide, a belief system, or a work of metaphor. It is a forensic restoration of how human orientation to reality was disrupted, regulated, and redirected through language, posture, sound, and authority.

Now the last living survivor of the Auschwitz Women's Orchestra, this is her story told in her own words. Like so many German Jewish schoolgirls, Anita had been busy with her studies and ambitions when her everyday life began to turn by degrees into one of unimaginable horror.
