Synopsis

"Religious Sculptures" explores the compelling role of sculpture in global religious traditions, examining why humans have been driven to represent their deities through three-dimensional art. The book unveils the use of religious sculptures as a vehicle for worship, a means of communicating sacred narratives, and a tangible manifestation of spiritual concepts. Intriguingly, the creation and veneration of these sculptures reflect a universal desire to bridge the gap between the earthly and divine. 

 
The book traces the evolution of religious sculpture from ancient civilizations to modern practices, analyzing the materials, techniques, and socio-political factors influencing their creation. Each chapter focuses on how traditions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity have used sculpture to express their unique theological and cultural identities. By integrating art history, religious studies, anthropology, and sociology, the book moves beyond traditional narratives to examine broader contexts. 

 
It systematically explores how sculpture serves as focal points for prayer, meditation, and communal worship, culminating in a discussion of its ongoing relevance in the modern world.

    Want to be truly inclusive? It's more than flying a rainbow flag on your church doors. 
     
     
     
    So your church website says you're welcoming, a rainbow flag flies out front, worship uses gender-inclusive language, and you make sure you greet the stranger next to you on Sunday mornings. But is all of that really enough? And what if those welcoming gestures actually keep visitors from returning and exclude dozens of other groups or people in your community? 
     
     
     
    In True Inclusion, public theologian and pastor Brandan Robertson shares how to move your church from mere welcome to radical embrace. Pointing to a clear biblical imperative for radical inclusivity in the sanctuary and in the public square, Robertson presents a paradigm-shifting vision of community, "where nothing is simple, nothing is easy, but everything is beautiful." Learn practical, step-by-step approaches to becoming deeply, robustly, and richly inclusive of all people regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and socioeconomic status. 
     
     
     
    Written for people and communities at every stage of the journey, True Inclusion will challenge and inspire you to embody a gospel of radical embrace for all.

    Song of Songs The: The Song of...

    This book, also called the Song of Solomon, is one of the most neglected - and controversial - books of the Bible. It is a book about lovemaking from an author who had 700 wives and 300 concubines. So explicit are these aspects that because of its erotic content, the rabbis forbade the book to be read by anyone under the age of 30. Almost every verse has been the subject of debate by its interpreters. Probably no other book of the Bible has such a variegated tapestry of interpretation. Yet all Scripture speaks of the glory and beauty of our messiah. John the Baptist recognized Christ as the bridegroom, as Christ himself also claimed. And Paul pressed the idiom even further, as does John in the book of Revelation. Of the more than 1,000 songs of Solomon, only this was designed by God to be included in the biblical canon.

    "Berti Dosti faced a terrible but intriguing dilemma. He was an Albanian army captain and his job as a radio specialist was to listen into the world's airwaves. As he idly twiddled the radio dials, he heard a voice saying: "If you want to find out more about God we will meet again tomorrow." 
     
     
     
    1980s Albania. The world's most isolated country and "the first atheistic state." Captain Dosti knows that by secretly listening to a Christian radio station he could put his life and the life of his whole family at risk. And yet, he cannot resist. 
     
     
     
    This inspiring story of Berti's journey from Captain Dosti to Pastor Dosti gives us a glimpse of the explosive growth of the early Albanian church after nearly half a decade of repressive atheism and the untiring efforts of Trans World Radio to broadcast the Christian message across closed borders to Albanians, who for most of their life had been told there was no God.

    The Apocalypse Of Abraham

    Originally composed in Hebrew, this text survives today only in Old Slavonic recensions preserved within the medieval Tolkovaja Paleja. Rediscovered by 19th-century scholars who were cataloguing Slavonic manuscripts, the Apocalypse of Abraham is known from six principal manuscripts, each preserving a vivid expansion of the Genesis narratives and a rich tapestry of angelology, mysticism, and Messianic expectation.  
    In this reading, you’ll first witness young Abraham’s dramatic revolt against his father Terah’s idol-making trade and his divine call from heaven. Next comes his sacred forty-day sacrifice on Mount Horeb under the tutelage of the angel Yahoel, the defeat of the rebel archangel Azazel, and the bestowal of heavenly garments. Finally, embark on Abraham’s awe-inspiring ascent through the seven heavens—beholding the divine throne-vision, the Garden of Eden, the fall of Adam and Eve, the judgment of Cain and Abel, prophecies of Israel’s exile and the Temple’s destruction, the rise of a lawless end-time “man,” ten devastating plagues, and the ultimate arrival of the Messiah to deliver God’s faithful.
