Jewish masculinity as a diverse set of adaptive reactions to masculine hegemony and the political, religious, and social realities of American Jews throughout the twentieth century. For twentieth-century Jewish immigrants and their children attempting to gain full access to American society, performative masculinity was a tool of acculturation. However, as scholar Miriam Eve Mora demonstrates, this performance is consistently challenged by American mainstream society that holds Jewish men outside of the American ideal of masculinity.

In Gods, Guns and Missionaries, Manu S. Pillai takes us through these remarkable dynamics. With an arresting cast of characters―maharajahs, poets, gun-wielding revolutionaries, politicians, polemicists, philosophers and clergymen―this book is ambitious in its scope and provocative in its position.

There I was sitting on the bathroom floor as if life had been syphoned from my feet, and a rug had been unsuspectingly pulled from underneath them. Could this be real? Is this a bad dream? If so, I need to wake up because I want out of this scene! What happens when tragedy strikes, and the supernatural intervenes to save an only child, a cherished daughter? Many great minds have experienced the mystical presence of God and His salvation in their lives and have testified to the vivid reality of the spiritual experience. Albert Einstein often said that as a scientist, his goal was to "read ...

Traveling from Indonesia to the Colombian Amazon, living with shamans and observing music, drug use, and indigenous curing ceremonies, anthropologist Manvir Singh journeys into one of the most mysterious religious traditions. Fundamentally, shamans are specialists who use altered states to engage with unseen realms and provide services like healing and divination. As Singh shows, shamanism’s appeal stems from its psychological resonance.

Dr. Paul Revere believes in the ethic of Equal Protection afforded to us under the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights—basically an elaboration of the Golden Rule. The job of our democratic republic is to safeguard our natural rights against tyranny, so that all people might live in freedom and safety. But since Islamic supremacy, as a monolithic political ideology, stands in direct opposition to the ethic of the Golden Rule, as well as any system of integrity guaranteed by its use, Dr. Revere has taken on the mission of educating the general public about Political Islam and...

Have you ever considered what sermon would be the last one you will hear? It’s not a matter of if you will hear it, but when. Dechamps boldly declares, “We are all living in the last days.” He asserts that it’s much more about our own “last days” than a global end of the world scenario. This profound guide challenges our comfortable notions of security amidst the complexities of our world.

Judaism is not Zionism. It never was. For over a century, a dangerous myth has dominated global politics, religious discourse, and mainstream media: that the modern State of Israel is the natural fulfillment of the Jewish faith. That to be Jewish is to be Zionist. That to question the Israeli regime is to betray one’s people—or worse, to be antisemitic. Judaism vs Zionism: The Hijacking of Faith and the Politics of Empire tears through this myth with piercing clarity and moral urgency. In this bold, uncompromising work, author Muhammad Abdelwahid unpacks the difference between an ...

In a highly inventive style, Cockerell captures history as it unfolds, weaving together letters, diaries, memoirs, newspaper articles, and interviews into a vivid account. Melting Point follows Zangwill and the Jochelmann family through two world wars, to London, New York, and Jerusalem—as their lives intertwine with some of the most memorable figures of the twentieth century, and each chooses whether to cling to their history or melt into their new surroundings. It is a story that asks what it means to belong, and what can be salvaged from the past.

The Bible picks up the story of Abraham when he is in his seventies, but there is so much more in Jewish historical documents like the Midrash, the writings of Flavius Josephus, and the Book of Jasher. This novella uses those resources to bring to life Abraham's birth, the signs in the sky that led King Nimrod to order his death as a baby, his youth with Noah and Shem, and how God spared Abraham from the Chaldean furnace. This is a novel view of how those and other events may have played out, while exploring the intimate relationship between Abraham and his family, as well as his faith and ...

As much biblical evidence as there is to believe our goal is to die and go to Heaven, there’s even more evidence that reveals Christ’s resurrection and the Day of Pentecost inaugurated a new era of human existence on Earth. With this new era, the Earth can, in anticipation of the emancipation of God’s children, begin to experience a new creation of its own, one person at a time, just as the saints are becoming new creations in Christ, on Earth as it is on Heaven.

What does Islam truly say about tyranny? And how can Muslims resist the rise of authoritarianism in a world increasingly ruled by fear, force, and falsehood? Against the Iron Fist is a bold and timely exploration of how Islam stands in radical opposition to fascism, dictatorship, and the abuse of power. In this groundbreaking work, Muhammad Abdelwahid uncovers the spiritual, moral, and political tools embedded in the Qur’an and Sunnah that empower believers to confront oppression—not just endure it. Far from being a religion of submission to worldly rulers, Islam emerges here as a ...

The following is a brief summary of the prophecies which have lead many people to believe that the British and the Anglo-Saxon race are the descendants of the Ten Tribes of Israel which were carried away captive in the years 743 and 721 B.C. Importance of the Subject. It has often been asked – Of what value to the Christian, even if true, is the identity of the British with Israel?
