  The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. 
   
   
   
  Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world. 
   
   
   
  Award-winning author, blogger, speaker, and New Testament teacher Nijay Gupta traces the emerging Christian faith in its Roman context in this accessible and engaging book. Christianity would have been seen as radical in the Roman world, but some found this new religion attractive and compelling. The first Christians dared to be different, pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable, transformed how people thought about religion, and started a movement that grew like wildfire. This book shows how the example of the earliest Christians can offer today's believers encouragement and hope.

  Albert Einstein’s "Why...

  A contemporary look at Albert Einstein's classic call for socialism 
   
   
   
  First published more than seventy-five years ago in the inaugural issue of Monthly Review: An Independent Socialist Magazine, Albert Einstein's "Why Socialism?" is an unheralded classic. Written during the McCarthyite witch-hunt in the United States, it constituted an act of defiance, making a case for socialism unrivaled in its time or ours. Yet, its very existence has been an embarrassment to an establishment which has continually sought to downplay the significance of his iconoclastic essay, together with Einstein's socialism itself. 
   
   
   
  This volume includes Einstein's essay along with a detailed commentary on his essay by Monthly Review editor, John Bellamy Foster. Foster's introduction tells the story of Einstein's life-long commitment to socialism and the events leading to the publication of "Why Socialism?" and contextualizes the importance of his essay as we enter a time of planetary crisis and new threats of world war. Over the three-quarters of century since its publication, "Why Socialism?" is one of those rare statements whose power has only grown, reaching untold numbers of readers over the years. It is of crucial importance that―for the sake of the future of humanity―Einstein's message continues to proliferate.

  Niccolò Machiavelli - The Prince...

  Niccolò Machiavelli, the Renaissance political thinker and diplomat, remains one of the most influential figures in political philosophy, and his ideas continue to shape modern discussions on leadership, power, and governance. His most famous work, The Prince, has long been recognized as a manual for rulers navigating the complexities of political life, emphasizing pragmatic strategies over idealistic visions of statecraft. In the centuries since its publication, Machiavelli’s work has both captivated and provoked scholars, politicians, and leaders, and his theories remain as relevant today as when they were first written. 
  At the heart of Machiavelli's philosophy is his focus on the practical realities of political power. Unlike many political theorists who are concerned with how politics should be ideally structured, Machiavelli emphasized how politics actually works. The Prince offers rulers advice on how to secure and maintain power, often advocating methods that defy traditional moral or ethical considerations. His famous assertion that “the ends justify the means” has become synonymous with political maneuvering that prioritizes results over values, positioning him as both a realist and a controversial figure in political thought. 
  Machiavelli’s impact extends beyond just the realm of politics. His ideas on leadership, human nature, and the strategic use of power have influenced not only political theory but also military strategy, business practices, and even popular culture. His work on statecraft speaks to a deep understanding of human behavior, and his insights into the manipulation of public perception, the nature of fear and loyalty, and the balancing of power dynamics have resonated across various disciplines. Whether used to guide national leadership or inform business strategy, Machiavellian principles are often invoked when discussing tactics for navigating complex, power-driven environments.
