Synopsis

Mythic Deities explores the profound influence of ancient beliefs by journeys through diverse cultures' pantheons, examining the roles, powers, and enduring impact of gods and goddesses on human faith and societal structures. Understanding deity worship provides insight into the human search for meaning and purpose. One intriguing fact is that the powers attributed to various deities often reflect a culture's values and fears, illustrating how societies projected their ideals and anxieties onto these divine figures.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the ethical implications of deity worship, demonstrating how ancient beliefs shaped moral codes and social norms. This exploration unfolds chapter by chapter, starting with fundamental concepts of mythology and theology and proceeding into specific pantheons like those of Ancient Greece, Egypt, and Norse traditions.

 
The book's approach involves supporting its information with archaeological findings, primary source analyses, and comparative studies. By connecting fields like history, anthropology, and psychology, Mythic Deities provides a comprehensive understanding of deities' multifaceted role in human culture.

    Can a librarian's matchmaking mischief lead to a love that rewrites their stories? 
     
    If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.  
     
    Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn't surprise him when the town's quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.

    An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 2 Corinthians by Dane C. Ortlund  Best known for its interpersonal, emotionally raw, and pastorally distressed tone, 2 Corinthians is one of Paul’s most distinctive epistles. In this letter to his complicated church in Corinth, Paul aims to expand on the deeply paradoxical nature of the Christian life. The importance of understanding this key doctrine makes 2 Corinthians an ideal study for believers today.   In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, bestselling author Dane Ortlund explores 2 Corinthians to reveal the core arguments presented by Paul. Through clear and engaging theological examinations, Ortlund expounds two predominant themes―inaugurated eschatology and strength through weakness―and connects various other motifs traced throughout this epistle. Readers will learn how Christ’s resurrection ushered in the new realm―one where life and ministry are flipped upside down, and God’s power is intertwined with human weakness.
