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.

Un texto esencial para comprender los fundamentos del mundo occidental, que analiza desde un punto de vista psicológico las historias bíblicas de rebelión, sacrificio, sufrimiento y triunfo que nos unen y nos inspiran aún hoy. Desde Adán y Eva y la caída eterna de la humanidad, la guerra fratricida de Caín y Abel, el diluvio al que se enfrenta Noé, el colapso de Babel, hasta la épica de Moisés, Peterson revisita los relatos que nos han formado y se pregunta sobre su significado y su papel en nuestras existencias.

According to the legend, Sage Vasugupta received a divine revelation in a dream where Lord Shiva instructed him to seek out a specific stone near a serene stream. To his amazement, the stone turned over at his touch, revealing the sacred Shiva Sutras etched upon its surface. These profound sutras, reserved for those deemed worthy of divine grace, unravel the mysteries of our true nature and the illusory existence we inhabit. Ranjit Chaudhri has translated some important texts of Kashmir Shaivism from Sanskrit into English.

You have read the book of Acts before, but you have never heard the men who lived it tell the story themselves. For the first eleven chapters PETER tells the story of Acts. Then beginning in chapter thirteen Barnabas tells his part of the story . . . then Silas. Then TIMOTHY, etc. It is as though each man left a diary for you to read. You now have a record of the eye witness account of the first-century events. Acts in First Person is the perfect companion to The Story of My Life . . . as Told by Jesus Christ. The five historical books of the New Testament are all now in first person.

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.

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.

Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth by John G. Jackson is a concise yet provocative exploration of the parallels between Christian doctrines and ancient pagan mythology.

Christianity in England is in decline. Congregations are dwindling and ever fewer young people believe. Should we merely shrug our shoulders and accept this as inevitable and even healthy, or is something important being lost? Bijan Omrani argues that this decline is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our national story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the English nation, its codes of law and morality, and its structures of government and kingship.

Before Heaven and Hell tells the true story of Zoroastrianism—the world’s first documented monotheism and the forgotten root of many modern beliefs. Long overshadowed by the religions it helped inspire, Zoroastrianism introduced core concepts we now take for granted: Heaven and Hell, final judgment, a cosmic savior, angels, demons, ethical dualism, and free will as a sacred responsibility.

In Fear No Pharaoh, journalist and historian Richard Kreitner sets this question at the heart of the Civil War era. Using original sources, he tells the intertwined stories of six American Jews who helped to shape a tumultuous time, including Judah Benjamin, the brilliant, secretive lawyer who became Jefferson Davis's trusted confidante; Morris Raphall, a Swedish-born rabbi who defended slavery as biblically justified; and Raphall's rival rabbis—the celebrated Isaac Mayer Wise, who urged Jews to stay out of the slavery controversy, and David Einhorn.

Why does Israel exist? Why is it worthy of remaining a critical ally of the United States? Why have critical race theorists identified Israel and the US as the most pernicious examples of "settler colonialism"? Answers to these questions were developing during the first term of President Trump. But they were abandoned by the Biden-Harris Administration, imperiling Israel and the United States. In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates shows how the conflict in Israel is not a regional issue to be resolved through an interminable diplomatic peace process.

This groundbreaking international bestseller lays to rest many myths about the Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of Jews, that the killers were all SS men, and that those who slaughtered Jews did so reluctantly. Hitler's Willing Executioners provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans.

At the eve of the Second World War, an estimated 1.6 million Jewish children lived in Nazi-occupied Europe. While 10,000 of them escaped to Britain in the Kindertransport, only some 500 found a new home in France. Here they attempted to begin again—but their refuge would all too soon become a trap. For the first time, Laura Hobson Faure brings to life the experiences of these children, and the Jewish and non-Jewish organizations who helped them. Drawing on survivors' testimonies as well as children's diaries, letters, drawings, songs, and poems, Who Will Rescue Us? recreates their journeys.

The year was 1848 and three people, their lives previously unconnected, were about to reshape the world. Karl Marx's Manifesto rolled off London presses as women gathered at Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s convention in Seneca Falls, N.Y. to demand equal rights. At the same time, Alfred Russel Wallace sailed to Brazil to collect specimens for something being called natural selection. This pivotal year marked the moment Western civilization began a two-century descent—not merely from tradition, but Creation itself. In this sweeping historical and cultural analysis, “The Age of Envy” traces ...
