Synopsis

A fresh wave of studies on the prophets has appeared in recent years. Old Testament scholar Christopher R. Seitz has written Prophecy and Hermeneutics as a way of revisiting, from the ground floor up, what gave rise to studies of the prophets in our modern period. In addition, Seitz clearly shows that a new conceptuality of prophecy, hermeneutics, history, and time is needed--one that is appropriate to current views on Isaiah and the Twelve. Scholars, students, professors, and theological libraries will find this an essential foundational resource.

    371 Days That Scarred Our Planet

    By: Russ Miller

    This is probably the easiest to read and understand book available that describes what happened to Planet Earth during and after the 371 days that Noah and seven others remained secure inside the ark. They left behind a one-continent world and landed in a newly-shattered world, the one great land mass having been ripped apart into the continents we know today. Stones and bones tell the story.

    The Gospel of John in the Light of Indian Mysticism

    By: Ravi Ravindra, Ph.D.

    Explores St. John’s Gospel from an Eastern perspective to reveal the interconnectedness of all faiths and the need for interfaith dialogue

    • Takes readers beyond academic and historical analyses by exploring the mystical foundation of the Gospel

    • Includes the full text of the Gospel of John interwoven with passage-by-passage interpretations

    The Gospel of John is different from the other canonical gospels in its overall point of view concerning Jesus Christ and his mission on earth. It is much more cosmological in scale and mystical in nature and has long been considered more esoteric. The Gospel of John in the Light of Indian Mysticism presents an unusual and rewarding exploration of this Christian text from a Hindu perspective as Ravi Ravindra takes us into the heart of St. John’s words, eloquently and convincingly revealing the interconnectedness of all faiths and the growing need in today’s world for interfaith dialogue. For those concerned with the emergence of a universal spirituality, Ravindra provides a source of light, a translucent pool of wisdom that offers from its depths an immense and lasting spiritual vision.

    The Secret History of Western Sexual Mysticism: Sacred Practices and Spiritual Marriage

    By: Arthur Versluis

    The first book to reveal the history of Western sexual mysticism

    • Reveals the secret sexual practices that have been used since ancient Greece to achieve mystical union with God

    • Details the sects and individuals who transmitted the radical sexual practices that orthodox Christianity never completely silenced

    • Distinguishes between sexual magic and sexual mysticism

    Beginning with the ancient Greek Mystery traditions, Gnosticism, and the practices in early Christianity, Arthur Versluis uncovers the secret line of Western sexual mysticism that, like the Tantra of the East, seeks transcendence or union with God through sexual practices. Throughout antiquity, and right into the present day, sexuality has played an important, if largely hidden, role in religious traditions and practices. This includes not only Christian but also kabbalistic and hermetic alchemical currents of sexual mysticism, many discussed together here for the first time.

    In the Mystery tradition of hieros gamos (sacred marriage) and the Gnostic tradition of spiritual marriage, we see the possibility of divine union in which sexual union is the principal sign or symbol. Key to these practices is the inner or archetypal union of above and below, the intermingling of the revelatory divine world with the mundane earthly one. Versluis shows that these secret currents of sexual mysticism helped fuel the rise of the troubadours and their erotic doctrine, the esoteric teachings of Jacob Böhme in the late 16th century, the 19th-century utopian communities of John Humphrey Noyes and Thomas Lake Harris, the free love movement of the 20th century, and the modern writings of Denis de Rougemont and Alan Watts.

    British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Sir Isaac Newton

    By: Charles River Editors

    *Includes pictures of Newton and important people in his life.*Discusses Newton's discoveries and theories, including the legend about the falling apple inspiring his discovery of gravity.*Includes excerpts of Newton's most influential quotes and writings. *Includes linked footnotes and a Table of Contents. Here is buried Isaac Newton, Knight, who by a strength of mind almost divine, and mathematical principles peculiarly his own, explored the course and figures of the planets, the paths of comets, the tides of the sea, the dissimilarities in rays of light, and, what no other scholar has previously imagined, the properties of the colours thus produced. Diligent, sagacious and faithful, in his expositions of nature, antiquity and the holy Scriptures, he vindicated by his philosophy the majesty of God mighty and good, and expressed the simplicity of the Gospel in his manners. Mortals rejoice that there has existed such and so great an ornament of the human race! He was born on 25 December 1642, and died on 20 March 1726/7. Inscription on Sir Isaac Newtons tomb. A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of historys most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors British Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of Great Britains most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In 1676, Sir Isaac Newton famously wrote in a letter to philosopher Robert Hooke, If I have seen further it is by standing on ye sholders of Giants. By the time he died, Newton had become sciences greatest giant, and every scientist who has followed him has stood on his shoulders. Newton is widely considered the most influential scientist in history, best known for the discovery of gravity and the subsequent laws of motion that he theorized. Schoolchildren around the world are still taught the famous legend about an apple falling on Newtons head, but that colorful story and the preoccupation with Newtons work in physics tend to make people forget Newtons work in other fields. Using empirical studies, Newton developed theories about light prisms, how matter cools, and even tried studying and calculating the speed of sound. And those are just the sciences; Newton also helped develop several mathematical fields, including calculus. When looking at Newtons work, its easy to forget that he was also a man with typical human emotions and convictions. Though religion and science are often seen as antagonistic counterparts, Newton was very religious, and he intently studied the Bible and even occultist practices and theories. Newton wrote at length on these topics, which fascinated him so much that he spent more time writing about them than he did science and mathematics. British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Sir Isaac Newton chronicles the amazing life and legacy of a man whose work helped propel the Scientific Revolution and modern physics, but it also humanizes him and looks at his non-scientific work as well. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events in his life, you will learn about Sir Isaac Newton like you never have before, in no time at all.

    A Study of Numbers: A Guide to the Constant Creation of the Universe

    By: R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz

    Without direct awareness of Space and Time, human beings lack two “senses” necessary for the knowledge of all causes. Starting from the irreducible one, Schwaller deals with the unfolding of creation through the cycles of polarization, ideation, and formation. This is a masterly account of the living, universal, qualitative, and causal reality of numbers.

    The Apocalypse Of Baruch And The Assumption Of Moses

    By: R.H. Charles, R.A. Gilbert

    The Apocalypse Of Baruch And The Assumption Of Moses

    By: R.H. Charles, R.A. Gilbert

    It is no longer news that the texts that became the official Bible excluded apocryphal books, in many cases because they didn?t serve the worldview of the ruling classes. Early in the 20th century, R.H. Charles translated and edited a series of these texts. In 2003, we published The Book of Enoch, apocrypha describing the hierarchy of angels and demons. Now we are pleased to publish this significant end-times text.

    Writing at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 ad, Baruch converses directly with God in a series of visions. The fall of Jerusalem is given as part of a larger end-of-the-world scenario. Baruch then receives prophecy: periods of light and darkness shall come, symbolized by rains bright and black, corresponding to alternating times when humanity lives in peace and harmony, then dark periods when evil reigns. Of particular note is the apocalypse when the Messiah appears again on earth. This alternate tale of the apocalypse inspires hope -- evil is punished, condemned to hell and cast off the earth, while those "left behind" are actually the righteous who will enjoy, literally, heaven on earth. Obviously a differing view from the currently in-vogue idea of "rapture."

    Also included in this edition is "The Assumption of Moses," an apocryphal fragment noted to have influenced other descriptions of the apocalypse included in the Bible.

    "For at the heights of the world they shall dwell,And they shall be made like unto the angels,And be made equal to the stars,And they shall be changed into every form they desire,From beauty into loveliness,And from that light into the splendour of glory."
