  Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe:...

  Despite the fact some Neolithic communities grew to considerable sizes, they’re typically not considered when people think of the first ancient civilizations or the first major cities, so when German archaeologists discovered the archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey in the 1990s, it created an academic firestorm that is still raging. Far from being just another settlement, Göbekli Tepe has been described as the world’s first temple and perhaps one of the locations where human civilization began. Subsequent archaeological work at Göbekli Tepe has revealed that the site was a spiritual center for the local population during a time when humans were undergoing a transition as hunter-gatherers in the Paleolithic Period to a more sedentary lifestyle in the Neolithic Period, more than 10,000 years ago. Further research in the disciplines of anthropology, religion, and history indicate that the activity at Göbekli Tepe subsequently set the tone for elements of Neolithic and Bronze Age religion and ideology in the Near East, especially in Anatolia (roughly equivalent with modern Turkey).  
  Likewise, archaeologists have been able to determine when Karahan Tepe was built, possibly how long it was occupied, and that it was probably related to the larger, better-known site of Göbekli Tepe, but several important questions remain. What was the purpose of Karahan Tepe? Was Karahan Tepe a permanent or semi-permanent settlement? What was the background of the people who built the site, and how long did it take them to build it?  
  Karahan Tepe was just one of many sites in ancient modern Turkey, and as part of a greater complex, Karahan Tepe represents one of the earliest known attempts to build a complex society, so understanding more about the site can tell historians about how the process worked.

  Christianity Today 2024 Award of Merit (Missions/Global Church) 
   
  Christian theologians and students are aware that evangelicals in the Majority World now outnumber those in North America and Europe, and many want to know more about emerging voices in the global church. At the same time, these voices are largely absent from Western evangelical theology. 
   
  Stephen Pardue seeks to bridge this divide by arguing, biblically and theologically, that it is imperative for Western evangelical theology to engage with the global church, and he provides examples of how this can be done. Case studies throughout the book illustrate opportunities for fruitful engagement with non-Western theology in various areas of Christian doctrine. 
   
  Readers will be given an introduction to the riches available within the worldwide body of Christ and learn how to engage productively with the global church.

  The command of Paul to Timothy to “remember Jesus Christ,” therefore, reaches deep into the biblical text as a prompt to take to heart the covenantal faithfulness of God. “Remember” means to be in active reflection on the saving mercy contained in the eternal covenant and the consequent redemptive action of God in Jesus Christ.

  In a world that expects near perfection from people in ministry, it is hard to be honest about struggles of being a pastor's wife or a woman in ministry--let alone have a sense of humor about it! In their popular podcast, Pastors' Wives Tell All, Jessica Taylor, Stephanie Gilbert, and Jenna Allen create a safe place for pastors' wives and women in ministry to be their most authentic selves. Now they're bringing their wit and wisdom to women through the written word. 
   
  Addressing topics such as how to smash stereotypes, deal with marital issues, make friends, and overcome parenting anxiety, they remind pastors' wives (and the people in their congregations) that God doesn't expect them to be superhuman. They show women how to 
   
  · establish and maintain healthy boundaries 
  · seek wise counsel 
  · confess their sins and shortcomings aloud 
  · shed the persona of perfection 
  · and much more 
   
  If you're a pastor's wife--by calling, by choice, or by circumstance--you'll find relief, renewal, and refreshment in the pages of this book.
