Sinopse

The Popol Vuh is a foundational text of Maya culture and literature, often referred to as the "Book of the Council" or "Book of the Community." It is one of the most important historical sources for understanding the beliefs, mythology, and history of the Kʼicheʼ Maya people, who inhabited the highlands of present-day Guatemala.

The Popol Vuh does not have a single, identifiable author in the conventional sense. Instead, it is a product of the collective oral traditions of the Kʼicheʼ Maya.

  • The Religion of American Greatness - What's Wrong with Christian Nationalism - cover

    The Religion of American...

    ECPA Top Shelf Award Winner
    Long before it featured dramatically in the 2016 presidential election, Christian nationalism had sunk deep roots in the United States. From America's beginning, Christians have often merged their religious faith with national identity. But what is Christian nationalism? How is it different from patriotism? Is it an honest quirk, or something more threatening?
    Paul D. Miller, a Christian scholar, political theorist, veteran, and former White House staffer, provides a detailed portrait of—and case against—Christian nationalism. Building on his practical expertise not only in the archives and classroom but also in public service, Miller unravels this ideology's historical importance, its key tenets, and its political, cultural, and spiritual implications.
    Miller shows what's at stake if we misunderstand the relationship between Christianity and the American nation. Christian nationalism—the religion of American greatness—is an illiberal political theory, at odds with the genius of the American experiment, and could prove devastating to both church and state. Christians must relearn how to love our country without idolizing it and seek a healthier Christian political witness that respects our constitutional ideals and a biblical vision of justice.

    Forged in the Steppe

    In the early 13th century, a coalition of steppe clans transformed into the most dynamic war machine and governing enterprise of its age. Forged in the Steppe follows the ascent of Genghis Khan from fractured tribal politics to continental empire, tracing campaigns across North China and Central Asia and the devastating clash with the Khwarazmian state. Beyond the battlefield, it reveals how the Mongols built a state that ran on speed, law, and logistics—postal relays, multilingual chanceries, merchant partnerships, and a disciplined guard that enforced clear rules from Karakorum to Bukhara. The book explores the empire’s image among friends and foes, the balance of terror and trust, and the careful choreography of succession that carried power beyond Genghis Khan’s death in 1227. It culminates in the shock of 1241–1242, when Europe reeled at Legnica and Mohi before the riders turned back, leaving a changed political imagination in their wake. This is the story of how hoofbeats, paper, and policy remade Eurasia.

    To read The Sayings of Marcus is to walk beside an emperor who governed not through cruelty or conquest, but by reason, restraint, and virtue. This collection presents rare, firsthand glimpses of Marcus Aurelius not as a distant symbol of power, but as a human being navigating the immense burden of imperial responsibility with unwavering Stoic discipline.
    Here is Marcus confronting betrayal with mercy, rejecting revenge in the arena, and speaking candidly of philosophy, war, death, and duty. His words, at once spare and profound, offer a timeless testament to character under pressure.
    For admirers of Meditations, this companion text reveals the man in public life—deciding, judging, and leading. For newcomers to Stoicism or Roman history, it is an unforgettable introduction to one of history's most introspective rulers
