DOWNLOAD EBOOKMargaret Barker believes that Christianity developed so quickly because it was a return to far older faith—far older than the Greek culture that is long-held to have influenced Christianity. Temple Theology explains that the preaching of the gospel and the early Christian faith grew out of the centuries' old Hebrew longing for God's original Temple.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBelief in magic was, until relatively recent times, widespread in Britain; yet the impact of such belief on determinative political events has frequently been overlooked. In his wide-ranging new book, Francis Young explores the role of occult traditions in the history of the island of Great Britain: Merlin's realm. He argues that while the great magus and artificer invented by Geoffrey of Monmouth was a powerful model for a succession of actual royal magical advisers (including Roger Bacon and John Dee), monarchs nevertheless often lived in fear of hostile sorcery while at other times they even attempted magic themselves. Successive governments were simultaneously fascinated by astrology and alchemy, yet also deeply wary of the possibility of treasonous spellcraft. Whether deployed in warfare, rebellion or propaganda, occult traditions were of central importance to British history and, as the author reveals, these dark arts of magic and politics remain entangled to this day.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the first translation into English of Juan Bautista Villalpando's Book Five of In Ezechielem Explanationes et Apparatus Vrbis Templi Hierosolymitani. After its publication in 1604 the work stimulated a debate-over not only the architecture of Solomon's Temple but on the very nature of the origins of architecture-that endured for more than one hundred and fifty years, in the form of commentaries and other reconstructions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book introduces a new approach that radically redefines Messianic Judaism. It takes the reader beyond the superficial practices of Shabbat candles, tallit, and wearing Stars of David to comprehend the true purpose of a Jewish way of life that embraces Yeshua the Messiah. It investigates the meaning of Israel as a nation from its inception in ancient times and how its national turning to its Messiah will dramatically transform not only Israel itself but our entire world. It delves into the history of Messianic Judaism, ancient and modern, and examines the current streams of Messianic Jewish thought. This book proposes a new paradigm that holds the key to reaching the entire Jewish people with the message of Yeshua. Unlocking scriptural passages that have been lost and misunderstood for nearly two thousand years, it reveals the exciting role that non-Jewish believers in Jesus will play in Israel's redemption. Here is an invitation to come along on an incredible journey of discovery. Readers will gain a new perspective of God's end-time plan for Israel and the Jewish people. Some will awaken to an inner call to join the quest, a challenge that, if answered, will certainly change the direction of their lives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGenomic science indicates that humans descend not from an individual pair but from a large population. What does this mean for the basic claim of many Christians: that humans descend from Adam and Eve? Leading evangelical geneticist Dennis Venema and popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight combine their expertise to offer informed guidance and answers to questions pertaining to evolution, genomic science, and the historical Adam. Some of the questions they explore include: - Is there credible evidence for evolution? - Do we descend from a population or are we the offspring of Adam and Eve? - Does taking the Bible seriously mean rejecting recent genomic science? - How do Genesis's creation stories reflect their ancient Near Eastern context, and how did Judaism understand the Adam and Eve of Genesis? - Doesn't Paul's use of Adam in the New Testament prove that Adam was a historical individual? The authors address up-to-date genomics data with expert commentary from both genetic and theological perspectives, showing that genome research and Scripture are not irreconcilable. Foreword by Tremper Longman III and afterword by Daniel Harrell.
