Sinopse

"The Bible Apostles" presents a groundbreaking examination of Jesus's twelve apostles through the lens of historical evidence and contemporary accounts, particularly focusing on the writings of first-century historian Flavius Josephus. This comprehensive study uniquely bridges biblical narratives with secular historical documentation, offering readers a fact-based analysis that draws from archaeological findings, ancient manuscripts, and the Dead Sea Scrolls to paint a complete picture of these influential early Christian leaders.

 
The book's three-part structure first establishes the historical context of first-century Palestine and the Roman Empire, providing essential background for understanding the apostles' world. It then delves into specific historical references found in non-biblical sources, with particular attention to Josephus's "Antiquities of the Jews" and "The Jewish War." The final section synthesizes biblical and historical accounts to create detailed profiles of each apostle, drawing connections between religious texts and secular historical records.

 
What sets this work apart is its systematic approach to combining multiple disciplines, including archaeology, ancient history, and religious studies, while maintaining scholarly rigor and accessibility. The book covers the period from 4 BCE to 100 CE, focusing on regions where the apostles were active and addressing controversial topics through careful analysis of available evidence. This objective examination provides readers with practical insights into historical research methodology while avoiding both skepticism and apologetics in favor of evidence-based investigation.

    In 1991, Peggy Adler, author of Trilogy: Three True Stories of Scoundrels and Schemers, was retained by self-proclaimed CIA agent, arms dealer and money launderer, Richard Brenneke, to co-author his autobiography. She soon discovered evidence in his files contradicting claims regarding his presence at October Surprise conspiracy meetings and went on to out Brenneke as a con artist in a February 1992 article in the Village Voice. Adler then researched a series of additional articles for the “Voice,” which went on to prove that the so-called “October Surprise” was a hoax.  
    In mid-1992, upon learning that the United States House of Representatives had created a Task Force to Investigate Certain Allegations Concerning the Holding of American Hostages by Iran in 1980, which would be investigating whether or not there actually had been an “October Surprise,” she turned over to them the seventy cartons of documents she’d hauled east from Brenneke’s home in Portland, Oregon, in order to write his memoirs. Subsequently, she worked as a consultant to the Task Force and assisted in drafting and editing the Brenneke section of their final report.  
    Chapter one of this book recounts the Brenneke story, from 1973 forward, including her own odyssey with this scoundrel. Chapter two reveals how Oliver North and Richard Secord’s Iran-Contra pal, Albert Hakim, was well aware that it was possible to get money out of a Swiss bank account without ever being a signatory—for he’d facilitated just that, years before. And Chapter three traces Roger Ailes’ relationship to the Willie Horton commercial that helped sink George Dukakis’ hope for the presidency. Additionally, the book is laden with all the necessary documentation to back up what Adler has written.

    Conference Of The Birds

    The Conference of the Birds or Speech of the Birds is a Persian poem by Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar, commonly known as Attar of Nishapur. The title is taken directly from the Qur'an, 27:16, where Sulayman and Dāwūd are said to have been taught the language, or speech, of the birds. 
    In the poem, the birds of the world gather to decide who is to be their sovereign, as they have none. The hoopoe, the wisest of them all, suggests that they should find the legendary Simorgh. The hoopoe leads the birds, each of whom represents a human fault which prevents humankind from attaining enlightenment.
