Religious Appeals in Power Politics examines how states use, or attempt to use, confessional appeals to religious belief and conscience to advance political strategies and objectives. Through case studies of the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, Peter S. Henne demonstrates that religion, although not as high profile or well-funded a tool as economic sanctions or threats of military force, remains a potent weapon in international relations.

Spiritual warfare is a discipline exercised in protestant and charismatic ministries. The Devil has been and remains an opposing force against the Will of God continues to terrorize the Kingdom of God.

The Separation of Church and Church is a thought-provoking book that explores the complex history of Christianity's divisions and the path toward unity. It examines theological, cultural, and political factors that have contributed to the fragmentation of the Church while emphasizing the importance of pursuing reconciliation.

In the 21st century, most people associate the idea of the possession of a person or place by a malevolent supernatural entity with the medieval world and particularly with the Catholic Church, but the truth is considerably stranger. Virtually every human culture that has ever existed has talked about both possession and exorcism, a rite or ritual used to free a person or place from possession. The terms used to describe the process of possession and entities thought to be responsible have changed throughout history, but the central theory does not.

Between 2012 and 2018, I collected all the Jewish rabbinic arguments against Christianity I could find in rabbinic publications (magazines, books, and videos.) Since 2015 I have released about 150 short videos in Hebrew (viewed over 50 million times in Israel alone!) where I introduce and refute the top rabbinic objections to Jesus, the New Testament, and Christianity. This book is a compilation of transcripts of the videos translated into English. It is written in a simple non-academic style.

Hindu mythology abounds with fascinating gods, goddesses and characters whose visual representations—through calendar art—are equally colourful. Hindu calendar art may seem fantastic and kitsch, but it is in fact the most democratic expression of a mythic imagery that was once restricted to temple walls and palm leaf manuscripts. These portraits of the Hindu pantheon of gods and the stories that surround them can be found on the walls and puja rooms of almost every Hindu household in India. Rich in symbols, each image is a piece of an ancient metaphysical jigsaw puzzle.

In Blood and Ashes provides the first historical study of the development and dissemination of ritualized curse practice from 750-250 BCE, documenting the cultural pressures that drove the use of curse tablets, charms, spells, and other private rites. This book expands our understanding of daily life in ancient communities, showing how individuals were making sense of the world and coping with conflict, vulnerability, competition, anxiety, desire, and loss, all while conjuring the gods and powers of the Underworld.

The Scofield Reference Bible was the product of Dispensationalism, which offered a new way of reading the Bible, one that focused attention squarely on the end-times. That scripture would later become a core text of America's white Christian nationalism. In The Americanization of the Apocalypse Donald Harman Akenson examines the creation and spread of Dispensationalism.

Servants of Allah presents a history of African Muslims, following them from West Africa to the Americas. Although many assume that what Muslim faith they brought with them to the Americas was quickly absorbed into the new Christian milieu, as Sylviane A. Diouf demonstrates in this meticulously researched, groundbreaking volume, Islam flourished during slavery on a large scale.

Today, we think of Canada as a compassionate, open country to which refugees from other countries have always been welcome. However, between the years 1933 and 1948, when the Jews of Europe were looking for a place of refuge from Nazi persecution, Canada refused to offer aid, let alone sanctuary, to those in fear for their lives.

Holocaust survivor Henry Melnick was born in Lodz, Poland. Shortly after the Nazis occupied Poland in 1939, he was sent to perform slave labor in the Nowy Sącz, Tarnów, and Szebnie ghettos and work camps. He was then transferred to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buna, Dora-Mittelbau and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps.

Many Christians today seem to be just as overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed as the rest of the world. While this has become a common thing in today's society, in the life of a believer, it should never become normal. Christians are struggling to find lasting peace and joy that isn't dependent on circumstances. They see others with passion and excitement for God and wonder why they lack that same enthusiasm. There Is More was written to take the readers deep beyond our Christian labels to really discover the heart of God.

In EJ Waggoner's sweeping overview of the history of God's people, God reveals as far back as the Old Testament the same gospel which Christians believe today. From Abraham to today's listener, all who believe are under the everlasting covenant. The author had a vision of "Christ crucified... and to me was revealed for the first time in my life the fact that God loved me, and that Christ gave Himself for me personally. It was all for me." According to Waggoner, one line runs through the Bible - God's everlasting covenant.

No. La interpretación de una obra literaria es tanto un arte como una ciencia. La Biblia es una obra literaria. Cuando utilizamos los principios literarios de interpretación al leer la Biblia, las posibles interpretaciones se reducen a un rango muy manejable.

Eliyho Matz has done the world a service by bringing this documentary history together in book form, so that readers may see for themselves what was known, documented, and reported about the Holocaust during the 1940s, and hopefully be able to apply his information and analysis to the thorny problems facing America, Israel and the world today.
