Sinossi

Ziggurat Structures explores the towering monuments of ancient Mesopotamia, examining their architectural evolution, religious significance, and pivotal role in early urban centers. These structures were not merely temples; they were integral to the socio-political and religious fabric of Mesopotamian civilization. Intriguingly, ziggurats served as tangible symbols of a city's power and connection to the gods, influencing urban planning and legitimizing royal authority.

 
The book meticulously examines the architectural development of ziggurats, tracing their evolution from early iterations to monumental forms in cities like Ur and Babylon. It also delves into the religious beliefs and rituals associated with these sacred spaces, connecting the earthly and divine realms.

 
Drawing on archaeological excavations and cuneiform texts, the book reconstructs ancient Mesopotamian practices and demonstrates how these structures influenced the layout of cities and the consolidation of power. Each chapter builds upon the previous, starting with an introduction to the ziggurat concept and culminating in an examination of their lasting legacy.

    Diversity is God’s idea—and unity is how we honor God.Our heavenly Father calls us to unite, but Christians remain some of the most divided people on the planet. It seems we mistake God’s call for unity as a command for uniformity: We split along political and denominational lines and prefer our churches, neighborhoods, and other spaces to be filled with those most “like” ourselves.Our segregated habits may satisfy our need for comfort, but division breaks God’s heart. We are called to embrace the miracle of unity, when what was once separated due to difference comes together—when people from every group, nation, and tongue praise the name of Jesus.In Mending Sunday, Skot Welch offers a pathway for putting on the mind of Christ when it comes to diversity and division. God’s unity doesn’t mean giving up our unique identities and the gifts of ethnicity, family, language, or tradition. Rather, when we put Jesus at the center of our lives and communities, we experience a grace and power we’ve never before known. In a culture bent on division, a church that embraces differences becomes the biggest witness for Christ the world has ever seen.

    'A wonderfully engaging, honest and witty portrait of the humiliations, idealism, nobility and banality of democratic life' - Rory Stewart, author of Politics on the Edge'Wryly self-deprecating, but also informative and illuminating' - Matt CooperAs Ireland's Minister for Housing, Eoghan Murphy took on one of the toughest briefs in government, one that continues to be a challenge today. Looking back at his life in the build-up to parliamentary office and at his time in the cabinet, Eoghan brings a self-lacerating and deeply personal view of the life of a modern politician trying - and often failing - to make the positive change he hoped to deliver. Brutal and sometimes harrowing, Eoghan's tale is also surprisingly funny, though the humour is only ever at the author's expense. If, in the end, all political careers end in failure, why didn't anyone tell the author that? There are no heroes or villains here, just a person facing their own limitations as they navigate the unfamiliar world of campaigns, elected office and government responsibility.Bringing refreshing candour to the pressures and absurdity of politics, this book shows us who our politicians really are when there's nothing left to spin and no one there to spin it to.
