Summary

History of Sculpture offers a comprehensive journey through the evolution of three-dimensional art, from ancient carvings to contemporary installations. The book investigates how sculpture reflects and shapes societal values, highlighting innovations in sculptural materials and techniques. For example, the transition from readily available stone and clay in ancient civilizations to the bronze casting of the Renaissance demonstrates artistic ingenuity. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with fundamental concepts like subtractive and additive processes. It then explores major periods, including Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, 19th-Century, Modern, and Contemporary sculpture. Each chapter focuses on key sculptors, works, and cultural influences, demonstrating how sculpture serves as a barometer of cultural change. This examination uniquely presents the interaction between sculptural innovation and technological advancement. Archaeological discoveries, anthropological studies, and material science enrich our understanding of sculptural art, making this book valuable for art history students, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the evolution of artistic expression.

    Benjamin Pogrund, who spent 26 years as a journalist in South Africa investigating apartheid and who has been living in Israel for the past 15 years, investigates the accusation that Israel is practicing apartheid and the motives of those who make it. His study is founded on a belief in Israel, combined with frank criticism, to provide a balanced view of Israel’s strengths and problems.  To understand Israel today, one must first look at the past and so the book first outlines key foundational events to explain current attitudes. It then explores the contradictions found in the region, including discrimination against Israeli Arabs and among Jews, before concluding that it is wrong to affix the apartheid label to Israel inside the Green Line of 1948/1967. It also deconstructs the criticisms of Israel and the boycott movement before arguing for two states, Israeli and Palestinian, as the only way forward for Jews and Arabs.  This detailed and balanced study offers a unique comparison between South Africa a

    Christ is present and at work in rural communities. How do we lead from that reality? The temptation to operate from a scarcity mindset is stronger than ever. The tensions unleashed over the past few years—which led to skepticism, breakdowns of trust, declining church attendance, and uncertainty around community ministry—continue to linger in and among our rural churches. Yet God’s loving, redemptive work is happening in all places, no matter how small or far-flung. In Flyover Church, Brad Roth, the author of God’s Country, describes how rural ministry shares soul-deep commonalities with the church in every place. And he speaks a hopeful message into the distinct challenges—and promises—faced by rural communities. Tracing Jesus’ ministry and bountiful work among the small-town people and places in the gospel of Mark, this book offers a vision for ministry tailored to rural settings. Pastors and leaders everywhere will be encouraged to approach ministry from the reality of God’s abundance.

    What if the greatest threat to justice isn't just political corruption or social ignorance, but a spiritual force masquerading as righteousness? 
    In The Serpent's Empire: Unmasking the Demonic Power Behind Racial Hatred, Dr. Michael J. Henderson delivers a fearless and prophetic exposé on the spiritual and systemic roots of racism in America. This is not just a book—it is a spiritual weapon, cutting through centuries of lies upheld by whiteness, weaponized Christianity, and silent complicity. 
    From the slave ships to the sanctuary, from lynching trees to legislative halls, Henderson unveils how racial hatred has been sustained by principalities of darkness-and how many churches have baptized that hatred in the name of God. But this book does not stop at exposing evil. It speaks the truth. It honors the testimony of the oppressed. And it calls forth the lions those who will no longer bow to empire, but rise in holy resistance. 
    This is a book for the truth-tellers, the justice seekers, the wounded warriors, and the unashamed prophets. If you've ever felt like your faith didn't fit inside the walls of injustice, this book will affirm your fire. If you've ever been told to stay silent, this book will give you back your roar. The serpent is real. The empire is now exposed, and the Lion in you is about to roar.

    A spine-tingling exploration of a venture as ancient as the pyramids themselves. 
     
     
      
    To secure a comfortable afterlife, ancient Egyptians built fortress-like tombs and filled them with precious goods, a practice that generated staggering quantities of artifacts over the course of many millennia—and also one that has drawn thieves and tomb-raiders to Egypt since antiquity. Drawing on modern scholarship, reportage, and period sources, this book tracks the history of treasure-seekers in Egypt and the social contexts in which they operated, revealing striking continuities throughout time. Listeners will recognize the foibles of today's politicians and con artists, the perils of materialism, and the cycles of public compliance and dissent in the face of injustice. In describing an age-old pursuit and its timeless motivations, A Short History of Tomb-Raiding shows how much we have in common with our Bronze Age ancestors.
