Sinopsis

Golden Shrines explores the captivating relationship between gold and the divine across various cultures and religions. It delves into the historical and religious significance of gilded temples, sacred altars, and monuments, examining how gold serves as a potent symbol of purity, enlightenment, and power. Readers will discover how the construction of these resplendent sites reflects not only spiritual aspirations but also earthly power, shaped by historical events, patronage, and trade routes. The book offers a unique perspective on the enduring human fascination with both material wealth and spiritual transcendence.

 
The book systematically progresses, beginning with an introduction to golden shrines across different faiths, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity. It then examines the theological importance of gold, the historical and socio-political factors influencing the construction of these sites, and the artistic and architectural techniques employed. By synthesizing these perspectives, Golden Shrines reveals how these sites represent a convergence of spiritual yearning, historical circumstance, and artistic achievement.

  • Did Jesus Really Say He Was God? - Making Sense of His Historical Claims - cover

    Did Jesus Really Say He Was God?...

    Do you ever wonder if Jesus really claimed to be God? Maybe you've heard people say, "Jesus never said he was God," or you've been asked, "Why believe Jesus is divine if he never claimed it?" These challenges aren't just from non-Christians―they show up in church, too. Even if you're not coming from a place of skepticism, you might still question how well church teachings about Jesus match up with what he actually said. So, did the historical Jesus really claim to be divine? 
     
    This book is here to give you confidence in the historicity of Jesus' claim to divinity. It's designed to help you explain your faith in a world that increasingly doubts the Bible's portrayal of Jesus. Instead of focusing on what Jesus' followers believed, this book takes a different approach―it looks at what Jesus' enemies thought. How did they interpret his words and actions? Their perspective can help you understand the historical validity of Jesus' divine claim. 
     
    In this book, biblical scholar Mikel Del Rosario uses historiography to examine claims about Jesus' divinity; analyzes ancient Greco-Roman, Jewish, and biblical sources to understand how Jesus' words and actions were interpreted by his adversaries and followers; and argues that Jesus claimed divine authority, a claim supported by strong historical evidence.

    Come share in the journey, the adventures, and the hardships of the Apostle John, tried before Emperor Domitian and exiled to the Greek island of Patmos. There, St. John encountered many hardships, but also began a new Christian Church. Christ performed many miracles through John on Patmos - many more than most know about the last living Apostle to walk with Jesus. The story of his exile is far more alive and interactive than you know. 
    We all know John received the Book of Revelation on Patmos - the last book of the New Testament in the Bible. This novel also shared parts of a small biography, written by Prochorus, one of the original seven deacons as listed in Acts 6:5. As St. John's scribe, his account greatly added to his friend's account on Patmos. 
    This is the time of Timothy, Papias, Ignatius of Antioch, and even young Polycarp, all who appear in this book. 
    St. John was challenged, first by Rome, then by the pagan priests on Patmos, and finally by a sorcerer, Kynops the Magician. 
    Come share in these historical adventures of the last living Apostle of Christ. Your journey and Christian faith can be shared, at least a little, with St. John.
