Sinossi

Empire Timelines explores the cyclical nature of empires, examining the political, economic, and military factors influencing their rise and fall throughout world history. The book argues that an empire's ability to adapt in these key areas is crucial for long-term survival. It highlights how political legitimacy, whether through popular support or other means, is vital for maintaining power, and how economic sustainability, driven by innovation and resource management, ensures an empire can support its ambitions. 

 
The book uses case studies of prominent empires like the Roman Empire, the Mongol Empire, and the British Empire to illustrate these dynamics. For example, the Mongol Empire's vast trade networks contributed significantly to its economic strength.

 
By focusing on adaptability, Empire Timelines offers a fresh perspective on imperial history, moving beyond simple narratives of rise and fall. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, culminating in a comparative analysis and insights applicable to contemporary global power structures.

Civil War in the Roman Republic...

Cicero, Cato The Younger, Mark...

While compiling and narrating these speeches, I've often been struck by how easily they could be translated into a modern day context. Frequently, a speech has reminded me of the news of the day, somewhere in the world. Nowhere has this been more evident than in these speeches. Given over two thousand years ago, every single one could be applied to situations and people today with barely any revision.The late republic (from about 133BCE) was characterized by civil discontent, with three Servile Wars, two attempted coups, a Social War between Rome and Italian allies, and endless conflict.We begin in 110-106BCE with two speeches railing against the fixed social order and corruption of the highborn, as well as the scorn poured on those of lower birth. We then jump to the Cataline Conspiracy in 63 BCE, an attempt to overthrow the Senate that was only defeated at great cost, and continued to be a symbol of Rome’s troubles. Here we see Cataline exhorting his troops, Cato arguing for harsh punishment, C icero calling Cataline every contemptible name under the sun, and the only known speech of Julius Caesar, in which he argues for a sensible and jurisprudential response to this great crime.Cicero’s leadership of Rome is then documented, covering the beliefs and actions that saw him exiled and then returned to power by the Senate. Finally, we have Mark Antony’s hagiographic oration of Julius Caesar, and then two speeches of Cicero’s railing against the perversion of Caesar’s legacy that Mark Antony was putting into practice, and the need to hold onto tradition for the right reasons, not simply to cover the misdeeds of politicians. Antony became Consul in this time, and Cicero saw in him the final downfall of the republic, which lasted for only seventeen years after this moment before becoming an Empire.

Strip Mine Jesus - Hope for the...

Charles E. Cotherman

Jesus Hasn't Given Up on Small, Exploited, and Overlooked Places—and Neither Should We 
Many young people entering ministry and starting careers believe success requires them to leave their communities. After all, the fastest-growing congregations, the highest-profile ministries, and the best opportunities are in big cities or their wealthy suburbs, aren't they? 
But Jesus didn't ignore the small, the exploited, or the overlooked places, and neither should his followers. 
In this reflective yet eminently applicable book, pastor Charles E. Cotherman, executive director of the Center for Rural Ministry, challenges our assumptions through stories that showcase the power and beauty of a faithful presence in seemingly insignificant places. Drawing on his lifetime of experience in rural communities and churches, Cotherman demonstrates the outsized impact we can have when we have the courage to stay, root where we're planted, and serve God with joy. 
Whether your community is rural or in the rust belt, whether you're surrounded by endless corn or abandoned mining operations, Jesus still sees you and has a plan for your life and ministry. Discover how you can make a difference right where you are—starting now.
