Summary

Runic Calendars explores the fascinating timekeeping methods of Norse and Viking societies, revealing sophisticated systems far beyond simple record-keeping. These calendars were integral to their social, economic, and religious lives, demonstrating advanced astronomical observation, mathematical understanding, and symbolic representation. One intriguing aspect is how these societies tracked the movements of the sun and moon to identify solstices and equinoxes, crucial for predicting weather and planning agricultural activities. Furthermore, the calendars' connection to Norse mythology highlights how specific days were associated with particular gods and stories, deeply weaving timekeeping into their cultural fabric.

 
The book begins by establishing the historical and social context of Norse and Viking societies, then proceeds across three major sections. First it will explore the different types of runic calendars, then it will dissect the astronomical knowledge embedded within, and finally it will investigate the cultural significance. By examining archaeological finds, medieval Norse literature, and linguistic data, Runic Calendars offers a nuanced understanding of these ancient timekeeping devices. This targeted approach provides an in-depth analysis valuable to anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the history of science.

    The ocean is filled with scientific discoveries—and God’s presence.  For marine biologist Rachel Jordan, both science and Scripture are means of knowing creation and Creator. In If the Ocean Has a Soul, Rachel considers the natural world through a spiritual lens, meshing marine biology with biblical truths in a keen and current take on faith and science. With engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the Bible, she asks and answers questions like:  How can Christians reconcile religion and science when the two seem opposed?  What do suffering and death teach us about the character of Jesus?  How do we care for the environment when there seems to be little hope for repair?  What do the ocean and its sea creatures, specifically, reveal about God?  In these chapters, Rachel recounts fascinating aquatic phenomena alongside the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic stories of animals she has known. You’ll lose yourself in the shadows of an underwater labyrinth; hear spiritual wisdom from a great-grandmother coral the size of a Volkswagen Beetle; and fall in love with Porky, the pudgy porcupinefish greeting visitors at the Windjammer shipwreck. And along the way, you’ll see how the promise of restoration unfolds in both physical and spiritual ways. Rachel’s thoughtful scientific and theological insights encourage us to know the Creator of the sea and everything in it.
