Sinopsis

In "Fresh Light from the Ancient Monuments," A. H. Sayce delves into the intersection of archaeology, history, and biblical studies, demonstrating how ancient artifacts and inscriptions can illuminate our understanding of the early Near East. Employing a scholarly yet accessible style, Sayce examines various archaeological findings, including cuneiform tablets and monumental inscriptions, to uncover insights into the cultures and civilizations that shaped the biblical narrative. He situates his work against the backdrop of the late 19th-century archaeological movement, emphasizing the transformative impact of these discoveries on traditional interpretations of biblical texts and their historical contexts. A. H. Sayce was a prominent Assyriologist and a key figure in the study of ancient languages, whose academic endeavors were fueled by a profound belief in the relevance of historical context to scriptural interpretation. Educated at Oxford, Sayce's expertise in Semitic languages and his keen interest in the archaeological revolution of his time compelled him to produce this pioneering work, aiming to bridge the gap between ancient texts and their material culture. "Fresh Light from the Ancient Monuments" is an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts of biblical archaeology. Sayce's meticulous research and engaging narrative not only enrich our understanding of ancient societies but also invite readers to reconsider the historical underpinnings of biblical texts. This book is a remarkable contribution to the field, making it indispensable for anyone interested in the convergence of archaeology and theology.

Scout Camp - Sex Death and...

James Renner

In the summer of 1995, at the largest Boy Scout camp in Ohio, a night of sexual violence ended with one counselor dead and another hospitalized. The death was ruled "accidental." It wouldn't be the last death associated with Seven Ranges Reservation. 
 
 
 
James Renner, too, was a counselor at Seven Ranges that year. He was always sure there must be more to the story of Mike Klingler's death, because Renner also knew firsthand that the 900-acre camp was not the safe getaway it was portrayed to be. On Friday nights the boys were ushered into the woods for a frightening ceremony in which they learned the rules for becoming good young men—and, above all, that keeping secrets was a scout's duty. No matter how dark the secrets were. 
 
 
 
Determined to face his demons, Renner embarks on a journey back to that tumultuous summer and exposes a clandestine society that left indelible scars on the scouts and the staff who were there. For Renner himself, it meant opening up about his twisted upbringing, his issues with trust and sexuality, and a lifetime of self-medication. The result is a deeply personal, no-holds-barred, and vitally important true crime memoir.
