Beschreibung

The Shujing, or Book of Documents, is one of the oldest and most influential classics of Chinese civilization. Compiled over centuries during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it gathers a collection of royal speeches, political proclamations, moral instructions, and early historical records that shaped the foundations of Chinese governance and statecraft.

Far more than a historical anthology, the Shujing articulates the ethical vision that guided early rulers: the Mandate of Heaven, the moral responsibilities of leadership, and the belief that political power is legitimate only when exercised with virtue. Each chapter reflects a world where ritual, authority, and cosmic order were deeply intertwined, revealing how ancient societies imagined the relationship between humans, ancestors, and the divine order.

This modern edition presents a renewed reading of a foundational text that influenced Confucian philosophy, imperial governance, and East Asian culture for over two millennia. The Shujing remains a profound lens for understanding the origins of political ethics, state ritual, and moral responsibility—ideas that continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about leadership and legitimacy.

    The first Christians were weird. 
     
    Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and practiced a whole new way of doing religion that would have been viewed as bizarre and dangerous compared to other religions of the ancient world. 
     
    In Strange Religion, award-winning author and New Testament teacher Nijay Gupta traces the emerging Christian faith in its Roman context, showing how the first Christians 
     
    ● dared to be different and pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable 
    ● believed, worshipped, and lived in radical ways 
    ● transformed how others thought about religion 
    ● started a movement that grew like wildfire 
     
    Brought to life with numerous images, this book shows how the example of the earliest Christians can offer today's believers encouragement and hope. 
     
    "A fresh and rigorously researched take on Christianity's founding."--Publishers Weekly

    In addition to being unable to be reinforced or supplied by sea, Napoleon's ambitions to establish a permanent presence in Egypt were further frustrated by a number of uprisings. Early in 1799, Napoleon advanced against France’s erstwhile enemy, the Ottoman Empire, invading modern Syria (then the province of Damascus) and conquering the cities of Gaza, Jaffa, Arish and Haifa. However, with the plague running rampant through his army and his lines of supply from Egypt stretched dangerously thin, Napoleon was unable to destroy the fortified city of Acre and was forced to retreat. The retreat cost him almost all of his wounded as, harassed by enemy forces, he was forced to abandon most of his casualties to the Ottomans’ mercy, or lack thereof. Most of the wounded were tortured and beheaded. 
    	Napoleon harbored all kinds of delusions about his time in Egypt that were not based in reality, but he definitely left a lasting legacy in the region, one he would never live to see or appreciate. By shifting the theater of operations to Africa and the Middle East, Napoleon inadvertently ensured the Europeans would fight there in the future, and the French occupation impressed upon the locals the necessity of catching up to the modern world in terms of technology. Ancient tactics could not prevail against a modern army, no matter the numbers, but while that was a lesson Napoleon consistently taught his enemies in Egypt and the Levant to their detriment, the French also sped up the occupied populations’ technological advances as well. Perhaps more importantly, the Egyptian Scientific Institute introduced numerous modern innovations, perhaps most importantly the printing press, which in turn encouraged literacy. This brought about the emergence of nationalism and liberalism, leading eventually to the establishment of Egyptian independence and modernization under the rule of Muhammad Ali Pasha in the first half of the 19th century.

    Covert operations are a cornerstone of modern intelligence and national security strategies. They are defined by their secrecy and the fact that they are often conducted in a manner that prevents any overt acknowledgment of their existence. In essence, covert operations are activities undertaken by government agencies, intelligence services, or other organizations to influence events or gather information while keeping their involvement hidden from the public eye. These operations can range from intelligence gathering and surveillance to acts of sabotage and subversion, and they play a crucial role in shaping global power dynamics. 
    The concept of covert operations is not new. Throughout history, countries have engaged in clandestine activities to protect their interests, advance their political goals, or weaken their adversaries. From ancient espionage missions to the sophisticated, technology-driven operations of today, the underlying principles of secrecy and deception have remained constant. However, the scale, complexity, and tools used in these operations have evolved significantly over the years. 
    One of the most significant aspects of covert operations is their ability to influence world events without direct confrontation. These operations can alter the course of conflicts, sway elections, or shape public perception, all while remaining largely unseen. The ability to conduct these operations without attribution allows governments and organizations to maintain plausible deniability, minimizing the risk of political or diplomatic fallout. This makes covert operations an essential tool in international relations, especially in times of heightened tensions or when open warfare would be too costly.
