George Whitefield was a popular Calvinist circuit preacher of England and frontier America who along with John Wesley, Charles Wesley, and Jonathan Edwards was very influential in the American Great Awakening of the mid-18th century. In a brief life of fifty-seven years, Whitefield shared Jesus and the Gospel with more messages to more people than any other minister of his day. This excellent summary of his life brings the reader to a crossroads between total commitment to Jesus or a compromised life with the things of self and the world. This is not a research work, but a defense of Whitefield's ministry, which suffered unduly harsh criticism from the so-called "old lights," those Anglican and Congregational clergymen who thought the Great Awakening, and Whitefield's ministry, to be steeped in hyper-emotionalism and experience-based religious effects. In this still relevant book, J. C. Ryle goes to work defending Whitefield in terms of the substance of Whitefield's preaching, which he contends was Scriptural to the core.

Les sciences du hadith sont un ensemble d'outils de gestion des propos attribués à Mahomet, ses compagnons et leurs disciples. Ces attributions sont appelées ahadith et sont, en théorie seulement, à la deuxième place des sources de législation islamiques. Ce livre reprend toutes les définitions, les notions et les principes techniques de cette discipline millénaire, inventée par les oulémas. C'est l'occasion de se rendre compte de la richesse et de la complexité de l'islamologie. L'islam, ce n'est pas juste une question d'halal ou haram comme beaucoup l'imaginent, c'est bien plus profond et développé que cela. Cet ouvrage met en lumière les forces, les faiblesses et les limites des sciences du hadith et propose une approche conceptuelle des sources scripturaires. Il ne s'agit pas d'une réforme, mais d'une rupture totale de l'islam occidental avec l'Histoire des Arabes devenue religion au cours des siècles.

"The Christian faith is a call to adventure. Be inspired by these thirty-two saints and give thanks for their faithful stories. Now go and do likewise where God has put you. For two thousand years, Christians have accomplished glorious things. Dr. Glenn Sunshine has compiled story after story of faithful men and women of the faith. These mothers and fathers of our faith laid the foundations for science. Some were Political figures who promoted Christianity in hostile societies. Several stories include opposition to racial oppression and a few heroes who helped Jews escape the holocaust"--

What are the Ashes Crying For?In Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanek, Babi Yar, Ukraine, and in many more locations, the blood of the Jewish people was either spilled or became ashes. This blood and these ashes went into the ground wherever they fell. But the soil never remains in one place; it migrates with the winds, rain, geological activity, and the passing of the years. These ashes, now mingled with the soil, have been scattered all over the world, bringing the essence of their poignant cry into your world, church, community, city, and nation. About what did the blood of Abel cry out to the creator? About what are the blood and ashes of the Jews exterminated during the Shoah (Nazi Holocaust), Russian pogroms, the Spanish Inquisition, Christian crusades, Islamic terror, and much more crying to the God of the universe? And why should it matter to you, the reader? This is what you will find out in the pages of this book.

Uses the intellectual encounter between Islam and modernity to explore the nature of culture, civilization, religion, and tradition.

"Alexandria was the epicenter of Hellenic learning in the ancient Mediterranean world, yet little is known about how Christianity emerged in the city. M. David Litwa employs the Nag Hammadi codices and early Christian writings to demonstrate how the earliest followers of Jesus navigated Jewish traditions and developed distinctive identities"--

En undersøgelse af kroppen i Det Gamle Testamente, som gør os klogere på vores egen kulturarv, på disse gamle tekster i deres historiske kontekst og på os selv og vores fascinerende kroppe.Kroppen er spændende, fordi vi alle sammen har en, og fordi det er med kroppen, vi er i verden. Vi oplever verden, vi ser, smager, hører og lugter takket være vores krop. Det Gamle Testamente er spændende, fordi det er en helt enestående tekstsamling. Teksterne blev skrevet for ca. 2500 år siden, og de giver os et unikt indblik i en oldtidskulturs liv og verden. Samtidig er Det Gamle Testamente stadig en del af vores tankegods i dag, fordi teksterne udgør den første og største del af Bibelen.En undersøgelse af kroppen i Det Gamle Testamente gør os klogere på vores egen kulturarv, på disse gamle tekster i deres historiske kontekst og på os selv og vores fascinerende kroppe. På den ene side spiller kroppen en universel og almenmenneskelig rolle for, hvordan vi erfarer verden, og hvordan vi udtrykker denne erfaring i sproget. På den anden side kan forståelsen af kroppen variere ganske betragteligt fra kultur til kultur og fra historisk periode til historisk periode. Det er denne fortryllende kombination af det universelle og det særlige, det velkendte og det ganske fremmede, som en kortlægning af kroppen i Det Gamle Testamente giver os mulighed for at opdage. Bogens ­kapitler er ordnet ‘anatomisk’ fra yderst til inderst og fra top til tå. Vi starter med hjertet og slutter ved fødderne.Omtale"Bogen Kroppen i Det Gamle Testamente er sjov læsning og åben formidling, der altså ikke kun er en fagbog fra teologer til teologer, men for alle, der er interesseret i oldtidsritualer, symbolik og kropsforståelser (...) Der lægges op til en mangefacetteret og rummelig læsning af Det Gamle Testamente (...) og de åbner op over for en bredere samtale om kropssyn – dengang og nu, når de sætter sammenhængen mellem krop og sprog, krop og tid og krop og rum på dagsordenen." - POV International"Bogen strutter af lingvistisk overskud og vidner om en omfattende indsigt i tekst og kontekst samtidig med, at den er rigt udstyret med kildehenvisninger samt henvisninger til komparative studier."- Fagbladet Religion

The CAGED EAGLEInspiration for the Journey, A short story series Triumphant victory overcoming life's suffering, injustice and loss. Entrance into the new decade has been a series of solemn plateaux, encompassing deserts of confusion, and valleys of heartbreak, and loss...Yet, dichotomously of introspection, redirection as well as reconnection to what matters most in this life, God and oneself and family and friends. Excerpt of Foreword by Author The CAGED EAGLE is a message of hope and inspiration for everyone who has experienced the harmful impact of social injustice, unexpected suffering and loss. This short-story is based upon true events of an American family growing up in an era when the "Land of the Free" was crying out for Freedom. Its storyline paints a portrait of allegorical prose interplaying the life of the family's eldest son and the long-term effects of racial and social injustices with the anomaly of an Eagle the son later witnessed being kept in an open cage. The author presents a message of ultimate victory through biblical references enabling every sufferer to triumph in every aspect of life including death through the power of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in eternal life.
