Synopsis

In "Testimony of the Evangelists," Simon Greenleaf meticulously examines the historical reliability of the New Testament Gospels as testimonies of the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Employing legal reasoning and principles of evidence, Greenleaf presents a compelling case for the Gospels' authenticity, navigating through themes of credibility and truthfulness. His analytical approach not only underscores the coherence and consistency within the biblical accounts but also situates them within the broader context of historical documentation, making his arguments resonate with religious and secular audiences alike. Simon Greenleaf, a prominent legal scholar and co-founder of Harvard Law School, utilized his expertise in legal evidentiary principles as a lens through which to scrutinize religious texts. His conversion to Christianity and fervent belief in the divine nature of the Gospels inspired Greenleaf to defend their integrity with the same rigor and scrutiny typically applied in a court of law. This personal and intellectual journey informed his writing, elevating "Testimony of the Evangelists" beyond mere apologetics to a scholarly feat intertwining faith with reason. Highly recommended for scholars, theologians, and curious readers alike, "Testimony of the Evangelists" offers a profound exploration of faith's intersection with historical inquiry. Greenleaf's rigorous analysis invites readers to reconsider the foundations of the Christian faith, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the interplay between evidence and belief.

    Walter Marshall (1628-1680) explains that sanctification, like justification, is a gracious gift of God and is not the result of human effort. Rather than sanctification being produced by our works, our works are the fruit of God's work of sanctification in us. 
    "We must first receive the comforts of the gospel, that we may perform the duties of the law." 
    Walter Marshall was a minister in the Church of England until the Great Ejection of 1662, when more than two thousand ministers were removed from their pulpits for their conscientious objection to the newly passed Act of Uniformity. Marshall continued as a nonconformist minister until his death. The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification was first published posthumously in 1692 and has been reprinted many times since.

    “Secrets of Greek Mysticism is a rare gem that marries scholarly wisdom with practical spirituality. George’s insightful approach unveils the gods’ profound essence, offering readers a transformative road map to inner growth and connection. This book is an invitation to weave the divine into our daily lives.” —Sophie Bashford, intuitive and bestselling author of You Are a Goddess  A clear introduction to the spirituality, beliefs, rituals, and gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon from a modern practitioner.  Secrets of Greek Mysticism is the first spiritual book about the Greek gods and goddesses written by a native, practicing priest of Hellenic Polytheism. It goes beyond the simplistic and archetypical representation of the Greek pantheon and instead introduces the gods and goddesses from a theological perspective.  Secrets of Greek Mysticism teaches readers how to find each god or goddess within them. This is achieved through grounded insights on the gods’ virtues as they relate to modern life (i.e., practicing bravery with Ares, cultivating endurance with Demeter, and embodying love with Aphrodite), explaining the deeper spiritual meaning of popular myths, practicing guided meditations, activating the gods’ energies with mantras and hymns, and performing simple rituals.   In helping readers build a spiritual connection with the gods and goddesses, Secrets of Greek Mysticism reveals the beginnings of the practice as well as practices for everyday life:    The twelve gods’ birth stories, essences, and virtues  The foundation of ancient Greek spirituality, cosmology, and theology  How to live and work with the gods on a daily basis  Setting up altars  Symbols, hymns, and meditations to guide readers’ practice of connecting with the gods   Secrets of Greek Mysticism also makes the claim that for the Divine Feminine to rise, the Divine Masculine needs to rise, too. Rather than solely focusing on female goddesses, it brings together the male and female deities of the Greek pantheon to help readers experience divine union.
