Synopsis

In "Demonology and Devil Lore," Moncure D. Conway embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the historical and cultural dimensions of beliefs surrounding demons and the devil. Utilizing a blend of literary analysis and ethnographic study, Conway interweaves various mythologies, religious texts, and folk traditions, creating a rich tapestry that contextualizes the evolution of these fearsome figures in human imagination. The book is marked by its erudite prose and a critical lens that interrogates the sociopolitical influences shaping demonologies through the ages, revealing how these narratives resonate with human psychology and societal fears. Conway, an esteemed American transcendentalist and abolitionist, draws upon his extensive academic background and experiences in various cultural settings to craft this work. His deep-seated interest in the interplay of morality, religion, and the supernatural likely stems from his upbringing in a theologically diverse environment. Through his philosophical inquiries, Conway seeks to bridge the gap between rational thought and spiritual phenomena, reflecting his enlightenment ideals and commitment to humanistic values. "Demonology and Devil Lore" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of religion, folklore, and literature. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Conway's nuanced perspective enlightening and provocative, as he challenges conventional perceptions of evil and its manifestations in various cultures, inviting a deeper understanding of our collective fears and the narratives that shape them.

    "A winsome love story between an orphaned young woman and the shipwreck survivor she nurses back to health. Klassen steeps their romance in atmosphere and intrigue."--Publishers Weekly 
     
    Set adrift on the tides of fate by the deaths of her parents and left wanting answers, Laura Callaway now lives with her uncle and his disapproving wife in North Cornwall. There she feels like a castaway, always viewed as an outsider even as she yearns to belong.  
     
    While wreckers search for valuables along the windswept Cornwall coast--known for its many shipwrecks but few survivors--Laura searches for clues to the lives lost so she can write letters to next of kin and return keepsakes to rightful owners. When a man is washed ashore after a wreck, Laura acts quickly to protect him from a local smuggler determined to destroy him. 
     
    As Laura and a neighbor care for the survivor, they discover he has curious wounds and, although he speaks in careful, educated English, his accent seems odd. Other clues wash ashore, and Laura soon realizes he is not who he seems to be. Despite the evidence against him, the mysterious man might provide her only chance to discover the truth about her parents' fate. With danger pursuing them from every side, and an unexpected attraction growing between them, will Laura ever find the answers she seeks?

    · from the creator of the top-ranked Back Porch Theology podcast  
    · makes theology simple, accessible, and applicable to your daily life 
    · transform your relationship with God

    With her signature style and wit, bestselling author and Bible teacher Lisa Harper invites you into this life-giving conversation. She makes theology engaging, practical, and applicable by explaining how academic-sounding concepts--such as imago Dei, atonement, the Trinity, the transcendence and immanence of Christ, and much more--are not rigid theoretical propositions but transformative realities that we get to live out with God and with other people. 
     
    If you want more joy and peace with God and you feel called to make more of a Jesus-shaped dent in the world around you, then it's time to dive deeper into biblically sound theology. With Lisa as your guide, this is guaranteed to be quite the adventure!

  • Demolishing Doubt Bible Study: Audio - Discover How Your Deepest Questions Can Lead to Life-Giving Faith - cover

    Demolishing Doubt Bible Study:...

    In our world today, faith and reason are often seen as opposing forces. We are told that belief in God is unreasonable and there is not plausible explanation of his existence. We are told the Gospels are just ancient myths from centuries past and that it's unreasonable to believe they could be trustworthy sources that accurately depict Jesus and his life. We are also told it is unreasonable to believe that the radical claims that Jesus made about himself—especially that he is divine—could possibly be true. 
    In Demolishing Doubt, evangelist and pastor Cliffe Knechtle, along with his son and fellow pastor Stuart Knechtle, invite you to embark on a transformative journey that will bridge the gap between skepticism and belief—revealing, in the process, that faith and reason do not have to be opposing forces. The Knechtles present the compelling case for the existence of God and the trustworthiness of Jesus Christ, providing the rigorous logic and profound spiritual insights that have made the pair YouTube sensations and the most popular evangelists of the TikTok generation. 
    In this rational exploration of the Christian faith, the Knechtles explore such topics as:The arguments for God's existence: How the universe's existence, its intricate design, and the presence of moral values point toward a transcendent Creator.The reliability of the Gospels: How the consistency, style, archaeological, and manuscript evidence of the New Testament points to its reliability—and how archaeological findings and external historical sources buttress the case for the reliability of the Gospel narrativesThe claims Jesus made about himself: How the evidence of Jesus' miracles and moral teachings and the transformative impact his resurrection had on his followers culminates in a powerful case for Jesus being an ethical genius and the divine Son of GodThe importance of faith: Why faith is not in conflict with reason but is actually essential for a complete understanding of the truth—and why skepticism can actually be healthy.The response of our lives: How the impact Jesus' teachings have on our consciences—along with the lifestyle benefits we received of forgiveness, happiness, gratitude, perseverance, and self-control when we choose to follow those teachings—points to the truth of the Gospel 
    Demolishing Doubt is an invitation to explore the big questions of life with a reasoned and open heart. Whether you are seeking answers, yearning for truth, or looking to deepen your faith, this study will provide a robust and thoughtful exploration of the intersection of faith and reason. 
    Sessions include:What Is the Evidence for God?Are the Gospels Historically Reliable?Did Jesus Actually Never Sin?Is the Evidence About Jesus Trustworthy?Why Is Faith Important? 
    The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience.

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Immanuel Kant, the father of modern idealism and author of the Critique of Pure Reason and Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals, exploring the framework of human knowledge, the will, and the foundation for morality.

    - How to recognize subtle spiritual compromise 
     
    - Why a biblical worldview matters more than ever

    - Practical encouragement for remaining faithful to Christ 
     
    - Biblical principles for living faithfully in an increasingly compromising culture 
     
    Whether you're strengthening your own faith, leading your family, teaching a Bible study, or seeking biblical encouragement, this book offers practical wisdom rooted firmly in Scripture. 
     
    Stand firm. Trust God's Word. Live without compromise.
