Sinopse

Sacred Religious Wars explores the intricate relationship between faith and violence throughout history, examining how religious beliefs have fueled conflicts across diverse cultures. It moves beyond simplistic explanations to uncover the complex interplay of religious conviction, political ambition, and socio-economic factors that drive religiously motivated warfare. The book highlights how religion can be a source of social unity and ethical guidance, yet also be manipulated to justify violence and oppression. One intriguing area explored is the Crusades, revealing how these military expeditions were driven by religious fervor, political maneuvering, and economic aspirations. 

 
The book progresses by first establishing a theoretical framework for analyzing religiously motivated conflicts, defining key terms, and exploring the historical roots of religious violence. Subsequent chapters delve into specific case studies, such as the Crusades and differing manifestations of Jihad, to illustrate various facets of the phenomenon. The book also broadens its scope to encompass other examples of religiously sanctioned violence across various cultures and time periods. The final chapters analyze the lasting legacies of these conflicts, exploring their impact on political boundaries, cultural identities, and interreligious relations.

Why do humans have so much capacity for good and for messing things up? Is there objective right and wrong, and who decides? Why did Jesus have to die? What's the point of the church when so many people have been hurt by it? Do all religions teach the same basic things?

Chosen - A Journey of Victory...

Anna Pranger

Chosen, a sequel to Loved, is a redemptive message to reveal the nature of Jesus and His love for you. The heart of Jesus is revealed through His joy and plan for you as you step into His world. Though redemption is often defined through the glory and sacrifice of the cross, the goal of this book is for us to truly see Jesus and His compassion for our journey as He answers the question, "Who is Chosen?"
The enemy has tried to fill our hearts with lies convincing us that we are unworthy of redemption. We come face to face with the feeling of "not enough" and yet Jesus speaks the truth, that because of Him we are worthy. Stepping into your identity that you are, in fact, chosen is the answer to overcoming those lies. Each chapter will challenge readers to look within and overcome fear as they step onto the path that has been laid before them. Through an inner healing journey, the reader will not only experience victory in overcoming the temptations that Jesus faced, but will overcome with compassion for others. Redeemer embodies the true identity of Christ and His love and adoration for you.
Chosen carries a depth of wisdom and will encourage the reader to not give up their fight. The reader will discover that each battle is won in the secret place. The message of this book is counter-cultural as it fills you with purpose and passion. Your journey as chosen has just begun.

Henry Beeching - Professor Poet...

Peter Fanning

Henry Beeching (1859–1919), Dean of Norwich, was the quintessential Man of Letters. A popular preacher and active for the cause of reform in the Church, he was also a poet, eminent scholar and a widely read journalist. Seen through the spectrum of national issues and challenges, Peter Fanning highlights Beeching’s wide appeal both as a Christian thinker, literary scholar and a humourist. Many of the most celebrated scholars, poets and clergy were friends and correspondents; amongst them was the enduring relationship with his uncle, the poet Robert Bridges. Above all, Henry Beeching was a literary scholar and lover of Shakespeare who married this passion to a love of God.

 
A contemporary journalist wrote that Henry Beeching was “widely known as a poet, preacher and professor. Many men are content to make a reputation in any one of these department. Mr Beeching has made a mark in each.” It is the breadth of his interests and achievements that is unusual. This first full-length biography covers Beeching's character and his many interests and achievements, from the satirical and scandalous “Balliol epigrams” to sermons during the First World War and the creation of the Memorial Chapel at Norwich Cathedral.
