  Gilgamesh - The Mesopotamian...

  Perhaps you have heard about Gilgamesh, or perhaps you know what he was but would like to know more about him. 
  Gilgamesh was an age-old Mesopotamian hero and the lead character of the Impressive of Gilgamesh, a legendary poem written in Akkadian throughout the late 2nd millennium BC. He could have been a posthumously deified historic emperor of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk. Despite the fact that he ended up being a crucial figure in Sumerian legend throughout the Third Dynasty of Ur (from 2112 to 2004 BC), his rule was more than likely throughout the start of the Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) (henceforth ED), from 2900 to 2350 BC. 
  Gilgamesh's famous deeds are stated in 5 Sumerian poems that have endured. The earliest of these is most likely "Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld," in which Gilgamesh saves the goddess Inanna from the satanic forces that have plagued her huluppu tree. 
  These stories were later weaved into a meaningful story in Babylonian times.

  Hope Rising - How Christians Can...

  Extreme poverty does not have to exist. When Christians accept that fact and start living accordingly, we will find the solution is already within our reach. 
  Worldwide, 18,000 children die from preventable causes every day. If that statistic leaves you feeling powerless, you are not alone—but you are wrong. If a false sense of powerlessness has lulled you into apathy, it’s time to shake off the grogginess of low expectations and get to work. We can make this world a place where kids do not die from easily preventable diseases. 
  In Hope Rising, Scott Todd of Compassion International pens a galvanizing, comprehensive vision of the movement that will eradicate extreme global poverty through transformative Christian generosity—and do it within our lifetime. Todd provides riveting evidence to show that we are much closer to that goal than you might think. 
  According to Todd, we live in an historic moment, and chances are you are already part of it. The gospel is already reshaping lives from thoughtless consumption to informed concern. Twenty-first-century Christians are generating multi-continent grassroots movements through communications and travel. Public and private sectors are working together.  It’s a whole new era of philanthropy, compassion, and justice aimed at eradicating the pandemic of extreme global poverty. 
  This is a future we have the God-given power to create. This is the history we hope to write. 
  As Todd envisions, “The twenty-first-century Christians embraced the entirety of their gospel—the truths it proclaims and the muscles it demands—with a new integrity. They did not deteriorate into humanist liberalism, as some had feared. Nor did they pile works on top of Grace…They simply determined that their world did not need to have children dying of preventable causes such as dirty water.”

  The Enlightenment in America -...

  The Enlightenment, a period of intellectual and philosophical advancement in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, laid the groundwork for many of the principles that would shape modern democratic societies. Its influence reached far beyond Europe, significantly impacting the American colonies and their path to independence. Understanding the roots of Enlightenment thought requires exploring the major intellectual movements that preceded it, including the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Reformation. 
  At the heart of the Enlightenment was a growing emphasis on reason, individualism, and skepticism toward traditional authority. The Renaissance, which spanned the 14th to the 17th centuries, marked a resurgence in classical learning and a renewed focus on humanism—the belief in the value and agency of human beings. Renaissance thinkers, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, laid the groundwork for later intellectual revolutions by advocating for a more secular view of the world, emphasizing human capability and creativity. This shift from a purely religious worldview to one that incorporated human reason would directly influence Enlightenment thinkers who challenged the authority of both the church and monarchy. 
  The Scientific Revolution, which began in the 16th century with figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, was a key precursor to Enlightenment thought. The scientific discoveries of this era demonstrated the power of reason and observation in understanding the natural world. These discoveries not only transformed scientific inquiry but also encouraged a new way of thinking about society and governance. The methods of empirical observation and logical reasoning that characterized the Scientific Revolution were adopted by Enlightenment philosophers, who sought to apply them to human behavior, politics, and ethics.
