Synopsis

In "Tiberius the Tyrant," John Charles Tarver delves into the complex character of one of Rome's most enigmatic emperors. Using a blend of historical narrative and analytical prose, Tarver paints a vivid portrait of Tiberius, situating him within the political machinations and cultural context of ancient Rome. This work not only chronicles Tiberius's reign marked by paranoia and cruelty, but also interrogates the historiographical interpretations surrounding his legacy, demonstrating Tarver's commitment to scholarly rigor and stylistic elegance. The narrative, rich in detail and grounded in extensive research, invites readers to navigate the tumultuous landscape of a ruler whose actions continue to echo through history. Tarver, with a profound interest in classical studies and Roman history, brings a unique perspective shaped by his academic background and passion for unearthing the nuances of historical figures. His meticulous research and ability to weave compelling storytelling stem from years of immersion in the subject matter, offering insights that reflect not only on Tiberius as an individual but also on the broader implications of tyrannical rule. This scholarly approach underscores Tarver's understanding of the importance of historical context in shaping narratives. "Tiberius the Tyrant" is highly recommended for scholars, historians, and enthusiasts of Roman history alike. Readers will find themselves captivated by Tarver's insightful analysis and narrative flair, as they encounter the life of a ruler who embodies the complexities of power and governance.

    Argentina's history is a rich tapestry that can be divided into four distinct periods: the pre-Columbian or early history (up to the sixteenth century), the colonial period (1530–1810), the nation-building period (1810–1880), and contemporary history (from approximately 1880 to the present). Each phase shaped the region, transforming it from sparsely inhabited land into the modern Argentine Republic. 
    Human presence in what is now Argentina dates back approximately 13,000 years, with evidence of early settlements in Patagonia. Archaeological findings suggest human activity through the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods. However, a significant depopulation of large interior areas occurred between 4000 and 2000 B.C., likely due to a prolonged period of drought. Over time, indigenous peoples in the region evolved into diverse cultural groups with varying levels of complexity. 
    Uruguayan archaeologist Raúl Campá Soler categorized Argentina’s indigenous peoples into three groups: basic hunters and food gatherers without pottery; advanced gatherers and hunters; and basic farmers who developed pottery. The Pampas and Patagonia were dominated by the first group, while the second included tribes like the Charrúa, Minuane, and Guaraní. The third group, inhabiting regions such as the Quebrada de Humahuaca, adopted farming practices and pottery.

    The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country—with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power—a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem. 
     
     
     
    Trump's base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before. The institutionalization of racist voter suppression and the outdated logic behind the Electoral College means he could take back the White House. Apocalyptic messaging ensures the alt-right, anti-government, anti-LGBT, and white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle and are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on—guaranteeing another chaotic election. 
     
     
     
    In this chilling exposé, Wendling encounters Capital rioters, Covid deniers, QAnon supporters, and Proud Boys and uncovers the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.

    How to talk about Jesus in a way that connects with modern culture. As followers of Jesus, we know that the good news is deeply attractive. But we often fear that to those on the outside, it comes across as irrelevant or even repellent. Sometimes, the Christian worldview feels so out of step with everything else going on, that we don't know how to share our faith.  However, author Daniel Strange wants to show you that the connections are there - in fact, the longings that our culture cannot help but express are the very ones that Jesus fulfils.  Building on the work of theologian J.H. Bavinck, Dan reveals five recurring themes that our culture can’t stop talking about, or, as he puts it, the “five permanent ‘itches’ that in our work, rest, and play, we have to vigorously scratch.” From TV to books to social media, these are the questions we can't stop asking and the tensions we can't stop wrestling with - and Jesus speaks powerfully into each one.  This book will help you to spot these connections in our culture, excite you about how Jesus makes sense of humankind’s deepest questions and longings, apply them to your own life first, and then equip you to speak of him to others in a way that is truly magnetic.
