Описание: The Khazars were one of the most important Turkic peoples in European history, dominating vast areas of southeastern Europe and the western reaches of the Central Asian steppes from the 4th to the 11th centuries AD. They were also unique in that their aristocratic and military elites converted to Judaism, creating what would be territorially the largest Jewish-ruled state in world history. They became significant allies of the Byzantine Empire, blocking the advance of Islam north of the Caucasus Mountains for several hundred years.
They also achieved a remarkable level of metal-working technology, and their military elite wore forms of iron plate armour that would not be seen in Western Europe until the 14th century. The Khazar state provided the foundations upon which medieval Russia and modern Ukraine were built. Fully illustrated with detailed colour plates, this is a fascinating study into the armies, organisation, armour, weapons and fortifications of the Khazars.

This monumental book, first published in 1992, represents a major contribution to Sephardic and Hispanic studies as well as to comparative folklore scholarship in a worldwide perspective. After many years of fieldwork and extensive archival investigations in Spain, Israel and the United States, the author has brought together and analysed a massive body of primary sources. This is the first collection of Sephardic narratives offered to the English-speaking reader, and constitutes an important addition to the understanding of Sephardic cultural tradition.

Описание: In the 20th century, Europe was haunted by a specter of its own imagining: Judeo-Bolshevism. Fear of a Jewish Bolshevik plot to destroy the nations of Europe took hold during the Russian Revolution and spread across the continent. Paul Hanebrink shows that the myth of ethno-religious threat is still alive today, in Westerners` fear of Muslims.
Автор: Tobi Yosef, Tobi Tsivia Название: Judeo-Arabic Literature in Tunisia, 1850-1950 ISBN: 0814328717 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780814328712 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 65610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: As a result of the introduction of the printing press in the mid-nineteenth century and the proximity of European culture, language, and literature after the French occupation in 1881, Judeo-Arabic literature flourished in Tunisia until the middle of the twentieth century. As the most spoken language in the country, vernacular Judeo-Arabic allowed ideas from the Jewish Enlightenment in Europe (the Haskalah) to spread widely and also offered legitimacy to the surrounding Arab culture. In this volume, authors Yosef and Tsivia Tobi present works of Judeo-Arabic Tunisian literature that have been previously unstudied and unavailable in translation.In nine chapters, the authors present a number of works that were both originals and translations, divided by genre. Beginning each with a brief introduction to the material, they present translations of piyyutim (liturgical poems), malzumat (satirical ballads), qinot (laments), ghnayat (songs), essays on ideology and propaganda, drama and the theater, ikayat and deeds of righteous men (fiction), and Daniel Hagège’s Circulation of Tunisian Judeo-Arabic Books, an important early critical work. A comprehensive introduction details the flowering of Judeo-Arabic literature in North Africa and appendixes of Judeo-Arabic journals, other periodicals, and books complete this volume.Ultimately, the authors reveal the effect of Judeo-Arabic literature on the spiritual formation of not only the literate male population of Tunisian Jews, who spent a good part of their time at the Synagogue, but also on women, the lower and middle classes, and conservatives who leaned toward modernization. Originally published in Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic Literature in Tunisia, 1850–1950 will be welcomed by English-speaking scholars interested in the literature and culture of this period.
Название: Dying for the Faith, Killing for the Faith: Old-Testament Faith-Warriors (1 and 2 Maccabees) in Historical Perspective ISBN: 9004211055 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004211056 Издательство: Brill Цена: 154080.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The message of the old testamentary Maccabees is martial and pernicious as well as already pointed out by Erasmus of Rotterdam. The circumstances in which the Maccabeean literature emerged are complex and have not yet been explored by scholars in all their details; even more complex is the history of its influence, the Wirkungsgeschichte in the sense Hans-Georg Gadamer has given to the term, a history which was to large extent a purely Christian one. The early Christians saw the Maccabees as prototypical martyrs. Later they discovered warrior heroes whose courage was the measure of whoever fought in the name of God or freedom: Saxons, Scots, or citizens of Cologne who rose up against their rulers. This history of influence is the focus of the essays collected in this book, which extend thematically and chronologically from the cult of martyrs in late antiquity to the time of the modern wars of liberation.

Описание: William C. Mattison, III demonstrates that virtue ethics is a key that unlocks the wisdom of the Sermon on the Mount. Yet far from merely placing the teaching of Aristotle in the mouth of Jesus, he shows how the Sermon presents an account of happiness and virtue transformed in the light of Christian faith.
Автор: James S Larson Название: Is God a Democrat?: Essays from a Christian Perspective ISBN: 1629488496 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781629488493 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 73910.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book is about the basic differences between Democrats and Republicans that divide our country. It is also about Gods perspective on the issue, as revealed in the Christian Bible, and about God and the future -- our future in heaven with him. God appears to sympathise with Democrats on certain public policy issues, as expressed in his views on the poor and the need to care for them. This implies Gods sympathy for the use of government intervention on their behalf when the private sector economy fails to provide for them. However, the Democratic view is problematic when the Bible is applied to certain social issues. Republicans rightly point out that God is not neutral on these social issues. How can political parties in the U.S. reach agreement on these and other issues? The idea of a society that is regulated by government to ensure more economic equality needs to be balanced with the freedom to pursue individual dreams. Republicans and Democrats will always fight over where that balance point should be placed. On the important social issues of the day, both sides need to pay more attention to Gods point of view as expressed in the Bible, and not simply dismiss that view when it fails to agree with contemporary mores. To risk Gods displeasure is a foolish course. Christians also should view world politics from a more cautious perspective. Jesus was not optimistic about human nature and our ability to solve problems with worldly values. Similarly, we should not be optimistic about mans ability to politically and socially engineer a perfect world. Human nature and the presence of evil in spiritual realms will prevent that. To maintain some optimism, we need to focus on the future and Gods plan for us in heaven. Christians believe that we will reign with Christ in heaven, where he will be King of kings. Heavenly government seems like a contradiction in terms, but the Bible talks about a millennial reign of Christ on earth, followed by an eternal reign of God the Father. When God the Father comes to reign on earth, his power will be centred in a New Jerusalem which will descend to a physical earth that is newly renovated. All of these events are described in the Book of Revelation and elsewhere in the Bible. In the meantime, Christians need to prepare for heaven by growing closer to God. By being better Christians, we become better citizens in the earthly nations of which we are a part. In doing so, we need to recognise that democracy, for all its virtues, is a flawed system of government, and social progress on earth is limited. This should not result in cynicism, but in a renewed effort to see our public problems and solutions from Gods perspective, a perspective of love and faith.

Описание: Through the warm and compelling story of a conflicted Christian hiding psychic skills, learn to awaken your special gifts of the spirit. Many devout Christians conceal their psychic abilities or deny the reality of their gifts, due to the immense sense of fear and condemnation engendered by biblical scripture. Especially for Christians, but applicable to all, this sojourn will teach you how to fully bridge the seeming polarity of Christianity and the psychic realm. Broken into two parts, the first will take you along the path of growing up Christian with an upbringing teaching of sinful and punishable acts relating to the seeking out of mediums, psychics, and fortune tellers. The second part is chock-full of practical exercises, meditations, and techniques to develop your psychic abilities and connect to Christian religious aspects in a way that is comfortable.
After empowering Christianity and becoming its titular head during the first quarter of the fourth century, Roman emperor Constantine played a greater role in determining the core belief and practice of this religion than any family member or disciple of the historical Jesus. Implications of this fact are many and should be of interest to all Christians and others with an interest in, or connections to, Western Civilization.
The Evolution of God in Human Imagination addresses vital questions that many have asked for centuries, including how God became man and/or man became God. Professor Gersham A. Nelson examines the evolution of God from a Judeo-Christian perspective, first demonstrating how different regional cultures and mythologies seem to have influenced Judaism and Christianity, before showing how Christianity jettisoned the most fundamental concept of God held by Judaism and other ancient religions. Professor Nelson also argues that a close examination of the Church that emerged with the imperial patronage of Rome during the fourth century repudiated not only Judaism but also views attributed to the Jesus of history.
Failure to re-examine the foundation of Christianity, including claims made by leaders regarding divine will and prerogative, after the Reformation, ensured that contradictions and confusion continue to plague one generation of Christians after another. Even when conspicuous flaws were identified in the worldview advocated by Christian teachings, adjustments would, at best, be slow and selective. Nevertheless, the growing capacity of human brings to explore, discover, and create new knowledge has continued to inspire new questions and is providing some unanticipated answers.
