  Holiest Sites of Jerusalem The:...

  There was not any one entity more central to the Yahwistic Judean religion during the monarchy than the temple of Solomon. It symbolized the presence of YHWH in the nation, as well as his enduring protection of the nation and the Davidic royal throne. Judean worshippers directed their prayers toward the Solomonic temple, and eventually, the Judean prophets and theologians declared that this was the only legitimate location where priests could perform sacrifices and other religious rites for YHWH. Its significance can be seen most clearly in the dramatic cognitive dissonance experienced by the Judeans in Babylonian captivity after the destruction of the temple, which had been so central to their religious conception that they had great difficulty reconciling its destruction with their continued belief in YHWH at all.    
  The most famous church in Jerusalem for nearly 2,000 years, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, often called the Church of the Resurrection, was built in the era of St. Constantine, and the church as a structure has no history separable from the city of Jerusalem and its environs. It is venerated as being on the site where Jesus was crucified and buried, and naturally, making it a crucial pilgrimage site for Christians, and it is now the home of the Greek Orthodox Jerusalem Patriarchate. Moreover, it was the site of many important councils, some of which altered Christian history forever. In short, the Sepulchre was and is synonymous with Jerusalem, and it was essentially the nodal center of the city.  
  The Temple Mount remains the holiest place in Judaism and among the holiest in Islam, and due in part to that religious sensitivity and the current placement of the Al-Aqsa Mosque there, archaeological work is almost nonexistent. The political tensions between the modern state of Israel and the Palestinians have also made the temple and all of Jerusalem contentious issues.

  In The Missing Peace, podcaster and thought leader Tim Ross introduces a stunning perspective on the peace Jesus left us to help us regulate our bodies and emotions as we break free of temporary happiness and walk toward freedom. 
  Are you okay? Have you tried everything you can think of to get to a place where you feel better, happier? Maybe you've reached for temporary fixes like retail therapy, or playing video games, or finding a spouse or a house in the right zip code, or even prayer and listening to worship music. But nothing seems to work, at least not long term. You don't know what's wrong, but you know you're not okay. You feel exhausted, overloaded, and frustrated. Is this just how life is? 
  Tim Ross, host of the popular podcast The Basement, offers hope and an eye-opening perspective on the peace Jesus left us and how it can help us regulate our bodies and our emotions, regardless of what is happening around us. Ross's stirring message reminds readers thatsilence isn't golden--giving voice to the soul opens the way to recovery,secrets keep us trapped--we can't heal what we don't reveal,romanticizing pain holds us back--facing it head-on moves us toward healing, andJesus saved us not to survive but to thrive--we don't need to settle for just getting by. 
    
  With a depth of pastoral experience and a winsomeness that resonates, Ross helps readers break free from silent suffering and the insatiable search for happiness by learning how to be truly okay in life's challenges and walk toward the peace and the freedom God created them to enjoy.

  The Fantasy of JRR Tolkien -...

  At the heart of Tolkienian fantasy is "recovery," a "cleaning of the windows" of our perception that we may learn to see the world again in all its strange beauty. And, for Tolkien, to recover the world anew is to recover a sense of the world as a meaningful act of creation by a living and loving Creator. How does Tolkien accomplish this? Through "sub-creation" or mythopoeia, the "fashioning of myth." For it is in creating an imaginary world ourselves through poetry, fairy-story, and myth that we come to "see" our "primary world" as itself an act of creation. In short, mythopoetic creation, far from being "lies breathed through silver," uncovers for us the truth of our world as a story of creation. 
   
   
   
  This book demonstrates not only the centrality of recovery to Tolkien's fantasy but the way in which his fantasy affects that primal recovery in every reader. It reveals the marvelous philosophical and theological riches that underlie Tolkien's fantasy and shows how his mythopoetic fiction allows the recovery and enactment of these riches in our own lives. The book shows how for Tolkien fantasy has within itself a healing power through which intellectual, moral, and existential paradoxes are resolved and our intellectual and perceptual faculties are made whole again so that they may participate with renewed vigor in the life-giving work of creation of every sort.

  First published in 2012, Borders: A Very Short Introduction began with the premise that "we live in a very bordered world." The intervening decade has witnessed a flurry of events and developments that continue to highlight the centrality of borders in contemporary domestic and international affairs, as well as the interstices between the two, including sudden surges in migrant and refugees flows; renewed emphasis on traditional border security and wall construction; growing tensions concerning maritime sovereignty; rapid advances in cybersecurity, surveillance, and biometrics; expanded detention and deportation infrastructures; proliferation of transborder organizations; revived populist and nationalist sentiments; and protectionist and integrationist trade practices, to name some prominent examples from recent headlines. 
   
   
   
  This revised edition accounts for recent developments including Brexit, the 2015 migration crisis across Europe, efforts to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico, growing isolationist and nativist sentiments, demands for indigenous homelands, transnational protest movements, Russian cross-border incursions, and insurgencies and rebellions across much of North Africa and Southwest Asia.
