Beschreibung

The teacher of Demosthenes, Isaeus was an early 4th century BC orator, who was later listed as one of the ten Attic orators, according to the Alexandrian canon. His twelve extant orations are all on subjects connected with disputed inheritances, on which subject Isaeus appears to have been well acquainted. His oratory resembles the style of his teacher, Lysias, notable for its pure Attic and lucid quality. However, Isaeus is more aggressive and flexible in his presentation, which went on to influence the work of Demosthenes. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Isaeus’ complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    In this age of technology and modernization, everything becomes available online. You can easily transact business with someone you haven’t even met and are likely to remain strangers forever. Even dating online became a commonly accepted way of searching and establishing relationships with someone you do not know. So it is for these reasons why some people fall victim to coning, deceptions, and betrayals. 
    In instances when you are dealing with unscrupulous individuals – online or offline, having the skill to read and interpret body language is essential. Not only would it give you the awareness and insight on the kind of individual that you are dealing with, but it also teaches you on how to conduct the right behavior to keep you out of danger. 
    Body language embraces a wide range of nonverbal communications, including voice, tones, and pitch. So even when you have no chance of seeing that individual in person or through video facilities, you can still detect signals and cues that will give you information related to his behavior and personality even without seeing them. 
    So, before you fall victim to a con artist or get engaged in any fraudulent transaction, learn and master the art of body language. 
    This book will tell you how much you want to know about a person’s behavior, characteristics, personality, and psychology.

    How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
    Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
    In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
    In Faithful Politics, you'll find
    
    - Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
    - A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
    - Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
    Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.

    The origins of the Crusades lie in a complex blend of religious fervor, political ambition, and cultural conflict that took shape in the late 11th century. At the heart of the movement was a passionate desire by Christian Europe to reclaim the Holy Land—particularly Jerusalem—from Muslim control. For centuries, Jerusalem had held sacred meaning for Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. However, by the late 11th century, it was under the rule of the Seljuk Turks, who had taken control of large parts of the eastern Mediterranean, including important Christian pilgrimage routes. 
    The political climate of Europe during this period also played a significant role. Feudalism was the dominant system, and many nobles were constantly embroiled in local power struggles. At the same time, the Church had become the most powerful institution in Europe. It was in this context that Pope Urban II made a historic call to action in 1095 at the Council of Clermont. Responding to an appeal from Byzantine Emperor Alexios I for military assistance against the Seljuks, the pope called on Western Christians to take up arms and march to the East. His speech stirred a wave of religious enthusiasm, as he promised absolution of sins and eternal salvation to those who joined the cause. 
    This call ignited a massive response. Men from all walks of life—knights, peasants, and even children—began preparing for what would become known as the First Crusade. For many, the Crusades were not only a spiritual mission but also a chance for adventure, wealth, and social mobility. The idea of fighting in the name of God merged with more worldly motives, creating a powerful and often contradictory force.

    These periods of change, often prompted by loss, crisis, or a desire for personal growth, can be unsettling. Yet this is an invitational season, waiting for you to become who you really are, to come fully alive.

Crossing Between Worlds provides the much needed scaffolding to align your natural tendencies, nurture your unique gifts and allow yourself to move, and be moved, towards a new world so that you get to share this gift with others. 
    Drawing from his teaching and clinical experience, Daryl provides a personalisable roadmap filled with poignant anecdotes, practical wisdom, and persuasive strategies for navigating life’s seemingly contradictory forces (e.g., Should I focus on the present, or the future? Should I learn to say “Yes,” or “No”).

    During the several centuries that ancient Egypt stood as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, civilizations of the ancient world, conflicts with its neighbors often played a central role in hieroglyphic texts and art from temples and tombs. The three primary enemies of the Egyptians were the Libyans who occupied the Western Desert and its oases, the so-called Asiatics who lived in the Levant, and finally the Nubians to Egypt’s south. Among the three peoples, the Nubians were the most “Egyptianized” and at times were integral to the development of Egyptian history. Truly, the Nubians were the greatest of all sub-Saharan peoples in pre-modern times and deserve to be studied in their own right, apart from ancient Egyptian history. 
    The Canaanites and Nubians received the most attention as Egypt’s enemies and occasional trading partners, but it was the Libyans–the final third of Egypt’s traditional enemies–who influenced later Egyptian culture most. Unlike the Nubians and Canaanites, the Libyans were nearly always at war with the Egyptians. The reasons for the near constant warfare between the Libyans and Egyptians are difficult to discern, but more than likely stem from the fact that Libya was poor in resources, so the Egyptians had little reason to trade with the Libyans. On the other hand, the Libyans coveted Egypt's material wealth. The result was numerous putative campaigns by the Egyptians into Libya and raids by the Libyans into Egypt. 
    The wars between the Libyans and Egyptians reached a fevered pitch during the New Kingdom when the Libyans organized anti-Egyptian coalitions, and even formed an alliance with the mysterious Sea Peoples. By the Late New Kingdom, Egypt was an armed camp, yet it was ultimately unable to stem the tide of Libyan migration. The Libyans used their numbers to their advantage, eventually conquering Egypt and establishing two dynasties. Their ancestors created another two.
