Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion—an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus—was to be worshipped as a god.

Until now, the standard narrative of American religious history has begun with English settlers in Jamestown or Plymouth and remained predominantly Protestant and Atlantic. Driven by his strong sense of the historical and moral shortcomings of the usual story, Thomas A. Tweed offers a very different narrative in this ambitious new history.

King David, the second king of Israel, is a pivotal figure in biblical history. David is legendarily known for defeat of the giant Goliath. His life, spanning approximately 1040-970 BCE, was marked by significant events that shaped the Israelite kingdom. David's rise to power was unprecedented, as he transitioned from a humble shepherd to a mighty king. This transformation was facilitated by his exceptional leadership skills, military prowess, and divine favor.

My name is Thomas, and like the apostle I was named after, I have had my share of doubts. But I have also had a deep longing—a longing for unity among believers in Christ. I grew up Roman Catholic, went to Mass weekly, memorized catechism answers, and felt a deep respect for tradition. But when I married a Protestant woman and began attending her church too, a flood of questions washed over me. Why were we so divided when we professed the same creeds? Why did we debate communion, baptism, saints, and Scripture as if they were walls between us rather than shared treasures?

Time is one of the greatest mysteries of existence—measurable yet fleeting, tangible yet elusive. From the moment we are born, we are placed on a timeline that moves relentlessly forward, yet few stop to ask: What is time in the eyes of God? Does time truly rule over us, or has it been created for a greater purpose? And how does eternity intersect with our temporary existence? In Chronos and Kairos, Amaris Grace takes listeners on a profound journey into the nature of time as designed by God, revealing how it operates in the physical, spiritual, and eternal realms.

Why do Hindus feed their dead ancestors? And why do they prefer burning the dead to building tombs? Does Hinduism have no concept of Judgement Day? What is the impact of death on its notions of womanhood and caste? Is the Vedic approach to death different from the Tantric one? The idea of death and rebirth is embedded in the Hindu mind through ritual and story. Death is not just tragic, but ambiguous too. For instance, it is the end of one journey, but it is also the beginning of another.

Present day America is evolving into something unrecognizable to the way the country was even 20 years ago. America’s political leaders are so paralyzed with conviction and incompetence they surrender the future to fate. The consequences of inaction transform the nation with mysterious power; the metamorphosis is unstoppable. This book is not an indictment on Americans; it is an observation of world events, which in the author’s opinion prove with great certainty the soon coming of Jesus Christ.

There is so much goodness in all religions. Organized religion has gotten a bad rap over the years. Religion is not about having approval from others. Religion openly shares God-given wisdom for everything that is good. It does not mean that everything or everyone associated with religion is the epitome of good. Religion has been shunned. Worse, it has been rejected. Over time, we have allowed ourselves to be part and parcel of the good of religion being canceled. Now, our children and grandchildren are being excluded from solid religious influences.
