These are just a few of the questions answered in Gods of Thrones, vol. 2. Applying the study of religion and myth, this book offers a fresh take on the religious landscape of Ice and Fire. Advance praise for 'Gods of Thrones'... "Gods of Thrones Vol. 2" masterfully plumbs the depths of the ancient mythologies and premodern rituals, beliefs, and practices that inspire the lore of the old gods and the theology of the new--and everything in between. Inherently accessible and compulsively readable, Hubbard and Le Donne offer up a new and fascinating lens through which to view the competing and overlapping belief systems that undergird Westeros--and threaten its demise." -- Jana Mathews, PhD Professor of Medieval Literature Rollins College "A skillful analysis full of deep insight on both religion and the mega-hit Game of Thrones. This adroitly written second volume continues to explore the myriad dimensions of faith and the world of Westeros in a truly entertaining and engaging way. A mind needs books--especially ones like this--just as a sword needs a whetstone." -- Joseph M. Valenzano III, PhD Professor and Chair of Communication University of Dayton

"The Existence and Attributes of God" is a significant theological book written in the 17th century by Stephen Charnock, a Puritan preacher and theologian. This edition of "The Existence and Attributes of God Vol. 2" is both current and legible, with an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript. Some stories are gruesome and bizarre, while others softly creep up on you and pull you in. This massive dissertation is divided into two parts, with each volume delving into essential aspects of God's nature and qualities. In the second volume, Charnock conducts a thorough analysis of God's existence. To establish the existence of an all-powerful, everlasting, and transcendent Creator, he digs into philosophical arguments, historical viewpoints, and scripture allusions. The thorough examination of Charnock addresses problems about the origin of the universe and the requirement of a divine person. Throughout the book, Charnock's language is distinguished by a great reverence for God and a commitment to logical religion investigation. He provides theological arguments in a systematic and logical manner that is understandable to both intellectuals and laypeople.

The quest for the Kamidogu daggers continues…fight! Great changes are coming to Outworld and Earthrealm alike. Whether they seek to protect the worlds of gods and men or to rule them, Kombatants new and old are heading toward bloody conflict. Hoping to thwart the coming evil, Raiden has conscripted Hanzo Hasashi-Scorpion-and his charge, Takeda Takahashi, to gather the mystical Kamidogu daggers. Their journey leads them to an old foe, who holds one of the powerful cursed weapons-Kuai Liang, the ninja known as Sub-Zero! With Sub-Zero corrupted by the Blood Magik of the dagger and Scorpion's deadly thirst for vengeance, the two will lock in a Mortal Kombat for the ages! Elsewhere, Kotal Kahn faces a challenge to his rule from the scorned tribe of the Shokan. King Gorbak is leading an army of Shokan and Oni warriors powerful enough to decimate the Emperor of Outworld. Though Kahn refuses to unleash his Kamidogu's Blood Magik again, he has an unlikely group of allies in the Earthrealmers Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade. The pair only wishes to rescue their daughter from the clutches of Reiko, but first they'll have to help Kahn protect his throne-which means an alliance with Kano and the Black Dragon! Writer SHAWN KITTELSEN continues his epic debut with the help of artists DEXTER SOY (DC UNIVERSE VS MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE), IGOR VITORINO (Green Hornet) and DANIEL SAMPERE (BATGIRL), as they paint the blood-soaked story that leads into the video game phenomenon in MORTAL KOMBAT X: BLOOD GODS!

This book focuses on the characters that populate the Game of Thrones universe and on one of the most salient features of their interaction: violence and warfare. It analyses these questions from a multidisciplinary perspective that is chiefly based on Classical Studies. The book is divided into two sections. The first section explores Martin’s characters as the mainstay of both the novels and the TV series, since the author has peopled his universe with three-dimensional intriguing characters that resonate with the reader/audience. The second section is devoted to violence and warfare, both pervasive in the Game of Thrones universe. In particular, the TV series’ depiction of violence is explicit, going beyond the limits that have seldom been traversed in primetime television i.e. the execution of Ned Stark, the “Red Wedding” and “Battle of the Bastards”. In the Game of Thrones universe, violence is not only restricted to warfare but is an everyday occurrence, a result of the social and gender inequalities characterising the world created by Martin.
