Sinossi

Serpent Kings explores the pervasive role of serpent figures across world history, religion, and diverse cultures. It examines how these symbols, embodying both wisdom and terror, have been linked to power and knowledge since ancient times. Serpents often represented fertility and the cyclical nature of life in early agricultural societies, reflecting humanity's attempts to understand unpredictable natural forces. The book uniquely analyzes recurring themes in serpent mythology, revealing patterns in human thought.

 
The book progresses by first establishing a foundation with primary serpent myths. The following sections then build upon this by analyzing the role of serpent monarchs in antiquity and the use of serpentine imagery as a representation of power. Drawing from archaeological findings, religious texts, and anthropological studies, Serpent Kings connects serpent symbolism to fundamental aspects of human psychology and societal development, demonstrating how ancient perceptions inform contemporary attitudes toward power and the environment.

    Have we forgotten heaven? 
     
    For too long, the conversation about heaven has been caught between two extremes. On one hand, there is the shallow "escapist" theology that reduces salvation to a reservation for the afterlife, unconcerned with God's good earth or issues of justice in the world. 
     
    On the other hand, many of us have overcorrected, hyperfocusing on the here and now and losing sight of the spiritual reality beyond―a fatal mistake if our Christianity is to have a compelling message in the twenty-first century. Our faith must once again speak confidently and humbly about the reality of the spiritual world―the reality of unseen existences. In Unseen Existences, you'll find 
    a fresh way of looking at heaven that pushes back against extremes,a vision for life as a pilgrimage to our true home in heaven and union with God, andencouragement to persevere through the injustices of this world with hope. 
     
    Unseen Existences will help you renew your faith, expand your perspective, and re-embrace the divine mystery of heaven. Though life can be uncertain and unjust, our pilgrimage is preparing us for the world to come, where we will see Christ face-to-face.

  • Sovereignty - cover

    Sovereignty

    The word sovereignty means one who is above all. It is the supreme and highest power. The Christian defines the Sovereign Lord as unlimited, independent, with original authority. 
    For fallen man, sovereignty belongs to the state because the state is the source of law. Since the Christian can have no other gods (Ex. 20:3), history is defined appropriately by Augustine as a conflict between the City of Man and the City of God. As in all conflicts, we must choose this day whom we will serve. 
    Calvinists often limit the doctrine of sovereignty to a systematic theological definition of God. Much more work is needed in developing the implications of sovereignty for the Kingdom of God and its application in terms of the law-word of God. 
    In this posthumously published volume, R. J. Rushdoony examines the comprehensive implications of God's sovereignty with a clear eye to critiquing the various places where man posits sovereignty-especially the sovereign state. This is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the crises of our times.
