It delves into how ancient societies perceived and revered the river, examining its role in religious beliefs, rituals, and the formation of cultural traditions. The book reveals how the Danube functioned not merely as a geographical feature but as a sacred entity, influencing the worldview of those living along its banks.For example, archaeological findings and textual accounts uncover evidence of water deities and river worship, illustrating the Danube's sacred status. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from archaeology, religious studies, and history to offer a comprehensive understanding. It progresses through time, first examining pre-Roman and Roman-era beliefs, then exploring the adaptations and interactions with Christianity during the Middle Ages.Finally, it analyzes the river's depiction in modern art, literature, and its impact on present-day cultural identity and environmental awareness. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the enduring impact of the Danube on shaping cultural identities and belief systems, challenging traditional historical narratives by highlighting the profound influence of natural features on religious and cultural development.

    We live in times where people have extreme views. On the one hand, there are scholars who describe Shiva's linga literally as a phallus, and see all metaphoric meaning as embarrassed apology of the uneducated. On the other hand, we have puritanical Hindus who want to strip the Shiva linga of all sexual meaning and sanitize Shiva's lore. In both cases, a symbol is being reduced to a sign. In Shiva to Shankara, Devdutt Pattanaik, India's leading mythologist, seeks to bridge the gap. As he explores the layers of meanings embedded in Shiva's linga, we discover why and how the Goddess transforms Shiva, the hermit, into Shankara, the householder.

    The Message of Samuel -...

    In the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, we witness the transition of Israel from tribal confederacy to established monarchy. And, as Mary Evans shows in this passage-by-passage commentary, during such a transition questions of identity and power are unavoidable.
    In the aftermath of the decline of the judges, priests abuse their priestly privileges; Israelites covet the centralized authority of their ungodly neighbors; and a throne is won, forsaken, redeemed, lost, and found again. Throughout this era we see, hidden behind the faults and failings of Israel's best and brightest, the faithfulness of a God who looks on the heart and directs the path of every king and kingdom.
    Part of the beloved Bible Speaks Today series, The Message of Samuel offers an insightful, readable exposition of the biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning relates to contemporary life. Used by students and teachers around the world, The Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for those studying or preaching the Bible and anyone who wants to delve deeper into the text. This edition features the current NIV Bible text and a new interior design.
