Sinopse

Temple Treasures explores the captivating realm of sacred relics and religious artifacts, offering a unique perspective on religious history through the lens of material culture. The book examines how objects gain spiritual significance, shaping belief systems across cultures and eras. It reveals the human need to connect with the divine through tangible means, exploring how artifacts like the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, and Buddhist relics gain legendary status.

 
The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of sacred objects, beginning with an introduction to their significance in religious contexts. Specific case studies then detail the histories and cultural impacts of prominent temple treasures. These examinations analyze how these artifacts have inspired artistic expression and fueled theological debates within the Abrahamic religions and Buddhism.

 
Synthesizing archaeological findings, historical documents, and theological texts, Temple Treasures argues that these tangible symbols offer profound insights into the core values and beliefs of diverse religious communities. By studying these objects, we gain a greater understanding of the human quest for meaning, the power of faith, and the enduring legacy of religious traditions, while also acknowledging the ethical discussions around relic ownership and cultural heritage.

New York Times bestselling author Sam Harris is one of the most famous popular thinkers of our day. With a YouTube podcast channel Making Sense of almost half a million subscribers, and almost three million views of his debates with Jordan Peterson. The author of several books, and podcaster, Sam can be described for British audiences as Russell Brand with a neurology doctorate.
Being Sam Harris challenges the central ideas of Sam's works. Ranging through philosophy, logic, history, religion, the science of neuro-imaging, and more.
Sam is accused of being a one trick charlatan. A disingenuous showman who uses the technique of Singularity to generate a kaleidoscope of logically flawed and socially dangerous ideas. Despite their neo-liberal hippy patina, Sam's recipes for life demand suicide for the Self. All that remains is the autodidactic, synthesist benevolence of being Sam Harris.

Fifty years after John F. Kennedy's death, we find ourselves enmeshed in an era of political division and cynicism, where politicians talk past one another and the spirit of “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country"" is less visible than it should be. We seem to have forgotten that we're all on the same team. Fortunately, Scott D. Reich has given us The Power of Citizenship, a timely book to bring us back on track. 
Reich asserts that the most powerful element of Kennedy's legacy is his emphasis on the theme of citizenship, and that a rededication to the values Kennedy promoted will shine a bright path forward for our country. Evoking the hopes and aspirations of the 1960s, Reich recaptures the excitement of the Kennedy era. But what truly sets this book apart is the unique way it blends the romance of Camelot with the new frontiers of today—not only identifying modern challenges, but also offering a tangible blueprint for how we can improve our public discourse, be good citizens, and lift our nation to new heights of greatness. 
Part history and part call to action, The Power of Citizenship hones in on the very essence of what made JFK so inspirational and timeless, reminding us once again that we must ask what we can do for our country. This is a must-read for Americans of all generations.

Throughout Secret Societies, Gardiner; uncovers an ancient secret society thought to have died out many years ago and gets to the core of the secret societies’ belief systems. He explores the secret origins of Freemasonry and the links to secret Serpent Cults, Investigates the secret hidden meaning of King Arthur and Robin Hood and examines the claimants to the name of Illuminati, and analyzes the history of the group in Europe and America. Gardiner reveals the secret links within the Vatican and the Nazi Party and looks in-depth at the white-powdered gold theory supposedly kept secret by orders throughout time and radically re-appraises it. He also shows the link between the so-called enlightenment experience and the control of our minds. 
 
Nobody in the genre involves themselves in the tale in the same way that Gardiner does, and here he shows that the search for ultimate truth can often be a terrifying one.
