Sinopse

"Forest Guardians" explores the profound, enduring relationship between humanity and forests, revealing how trees and their guardian spirits are deeply embedded in mythology, religion, and literature across cultures. The book examines the veneration of sacred trees and the prevalence of mystical forests, highlighting how these elements reflect our innate connection to the natural world. Consider, for example, how certain tree species like the oak, yew, and banyan, recur as symbols of power, life, and death in diverse mythologies, or how forests often serve as liminal spaces in folklore, where characters undergo transformative experiences. The book progresses from the origins of sacred groves and forest spirits in ancient religions to focused explorations of specific tree symbolism, recurring forest motifs, and the diverse forms of forest guardians. "Forest Guardians" uniquely weaves together mythological, religious, historical, and ecological perspectives, supported by primary sources like ancient texts and folklore, alongside modern scholarship. This approach illuminates the urgent need to re-evaluate our relationship with these essential ecosystems, connecting ancient beliefs with contemporary environmental ethics and conservation, especially in light of ongoing deforestation and climate change.

Its title is derived from the first word of the Koine Greek text: apokalypsis, meaning "unveiling" or "revelation". The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic book in the New Testament canon. It occupies a central place in Christian eschatology.

    Before you can do what’s right, you have to see what’s right.When it comes to racial reconciliation, we often ask, “Where do we go from here?” But has it ever occurred to you that the real question is “Why are we still here?” In other words, until we’ve seen the problem of racism correctly—its history, its current effects, and its root causes—we aren’t equipped to head in the right direction. We’ll just keep falling into the same old patterns. The blind will lead the blind, and no one will have the vision to foster real change.But take hope! Restoring our spiritual sight is exactly what Jesus came to achieve.In this book, Josh Clemons and Hazen Stevens—one white, one black, and both brothers in Christ—will invite you to start the journey toward racial reconciliation and justice. Join us as we:Know the story of racism in the West, the church’s complicity in it, and how that story impacts each of usOwn our own contributory roles in the present and historic sin of racismChange the story by getting involved with the laborious—yet glorious!—work of racial reconciliation and justice 
    In Know. Own. Change., the authors set aside the world’s patterns of division and hate. Instead, they set a tone that emerges from spiritual kinship in Christ. Every page seeks to honor Him, pointing believers back to Jesus as the one who is reconciling all things to himself.
