Mark Pegg offers a synthesis of the most innovative scholarship on the Middle Ages of the last thirty years. Interweaving the history of Muslims with the histories of Christians and Jews, the scholarly history is propelled by a narrative of the relationship of the human and the divine within individuals and their societies between 950 and 1550. In displaying the history of the Middle Ages to be no less than a history of the formation of Western culture, Pegg offers a rethinking of what it means to talk about the medieval world that is at once vital, compelling, and necessary.

Het is een van de bekendste verhalen uit de Oudheid: hoe keizer Constantijn in 310 vlak voor een veldslag een visioen had van een lichtend kruis, zich bekeerde tot het christendom, zijn vijanden versloeg en de kerk begon te begunstigen. In dit hoorcollege vertelt Jona Lendering op basis van vele historische bronnen het ware verhaal over de eerste christelijke keizer. Hij begint zijn college met een overzicht van het Romeinse Rijk in de eerste twee eeuwen n. Chr. en de vele crises in de derde eeuw.

Jona Lendering behandelt in dit hoorcollege het jodendom uit een lang vervlogen tijd: de periode tussen 1000 v.Chr. en 70 n.Chr. Het was een heel ander jodendom dan dat van vandaag. Niet alle Joden erkenden de Bijbel in de vorm waarin wij die kennen en er werd nog dagelijks geofferd in de tempel. Een voor ons vreemde wereld, maar ook de tijd waarop twee wereldgodsdiensten teruggrijpen: het rabbijnse jodendom en het christendom. Lendering reconstrueert de rijke gedachtewereld van het oude jodendom.

Benedetto XVI, il Papa emerito. Ma soprattutto l’uomo del Monastero: l’ex convento di clausura incastonato in una radura appartata dei Giardini vaticani, dove si è trasferito nel maggio del 2013 dopo l’epocale rinuncia al pontificato. Da allora, la percezione della sua personalità è cambiata. Con quel gesto di Joseph Ratzinger si sono prodotte anomalie a cascata che, dopo nove anni di papato di Francesco, perdurano e condizionano gli equilibri della Chiesa.

Based on Pope Benedict XVI's weekly teaching on the relationship between Christ and the Church, this book tells the drama of Jesus' first disciples—his Apostles and their associates—and how they spread Jesus' message throughout the ancient world.

Acclaimed author Karen Swallow Prior examines evangelical history, both good and bad.

The result is a clearer path forward for evangelicals amid their current identity crisis—and insight for others who want a deeper understanding of what the term "evangelical" means today.

The Revelation is not about “the things that were” or the past at the time it was written. If this book is primarily about the future from the time of John receiving the Revelation, then we must consider that much of the things which shall be hereafter having commenced shortly thereafter, would now, in our time, 1900 years later, have already happened over that span of time, and can be found in history.
