by Frank Hugh FosterFirst published in 1907, this text provides a scientific treatment of New England theology and American dogmatic history. Frank Hugh Foster analyses the eighteenth-century rise of the school of New England theology, which became the dominant school of thought in New England congregationalism and, as argued by Foster, a ‘world phenomenon’. The chapters arise from readings of the various distinguished views of such contemporaries as Jonathan Edwards, Joseph Bellamy and Samuel Hopkins, placing them within the historical and theological context in which they developed. A fascinating and detailed title, this reissue will be of value to students of theology and Church history with a particular interest in the development of American religious thought.

Genghis Khan and the Quest for God: How the World's Greatest Conqueror Gave Us Religious Freedom
by Jack WeatherfordA landmark biography by the New York Times bestselling author of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World that reveals how Genghis harnessed the power of religion to rule the largest empire the world has ever known. Throughout history the world's greatest conquerors have made their mark not just on the battlefield, but in the societies they have transformed. Genghis Khan conquered by arms and bravery, but he ruled by commerce and religion. He created the world's greatest trading network and drastically lowered taxes for merchants, but he knew that if his empire was going to last, he would need something stronger and more binding than trade. He needed religion. And so, unlike the Christian, Taoist and Muslim conquerors who came before him, he gave his subjects freedom of religion. Genghis lived in the 13th century, but he struggled with many of the same problems we face today: How should one balance religious freedom with the need to reign in fanatics? Can one compel rival religions - driven by deep seated hatred--to live together in peace? A celebrated anthropologist whose bestselling Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World radically transformed our understanding of the Mongols and their legacy, Jack Weatherford has spent eighteen years exploring areas of Mongolia closed until the fall of the Soviet Union and researching The Secret History of the Mongols, an astonishing document written in code that was only recently discovered. He pored through archives and found groundbreaking evidence of Genghis's influence on the founding fathers and his essential impact on Thomas Jefferson. Genghis Khan and the Quest for God is a masterpiece of erudition and insight, his most personal and resonant work.From the Hardcover edition.
The Genius
by Eliyahu SternElijah ben Solomon, the "Genius of Vilna,” was perhaps the best-known and most understudied figure in modern Jewish history. This book offers a new narrative of Jewish modernity based on Elijah's life and influence. While the experience of Jews in modernity has often been described as a process of Western European secularization—with Jews becoming citizens of Western nation-states, congregants of reformed synagogues, and assimilated members of society—Stern uses Elijah’s story to highlight a different theory of modernization for European life. Religious movements such as Hasidism and anti-secular institutions such as the yeshiva emerged from the same democratization of knowledge and privatization of religion that gave rise to secular and universal movements and institutions. Claimed by traditionalists, enlighteners, Zionists, and the Orthodox, Elijah’s genius and its afterlife capture an all-embracing interpretation of the modern Jewish experience. Through the story of the “Vilna Gaon,” Stern presents a new model for understanding modern Jewish history and more generally the place of traditionalism and religious radicalism in modern Western life and thought.
Genius and Anxiety: How Jews Changed the World, 1847–1947
by Norman LebrechtMarx, Freud, Proust, Einstein, Bernhardt and Kafka. Between the middle of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries a few dozen men and women changed the way we see the world. But many have vanished from our collective memory despite their enduring importance in our daily lives. Without Karl Landsteiner, for instance, there would be no blood transfusions or major surgery. Without Paul Ehrlich no chemotherapy. Without Siegfried Marcus no motor car. Without Rosalind Franklin genetic science would look very different. Without Fritz Haber there would not be enough food to sustain life on earth. These visionaries all have something in common – their Jewish origins and a gift for thinking outside the box. In 1847 the Jewish people made up less than 0.25% of the world&’s population, and yet they saw what others could not. How?
Genius & Anxiety: How Jews Changed the World, 1847-1947
by Norman LebrechtA unique chronicle of the years 1847-1947, the century when the Jewish people changed the world—and it changed them.In a hundred-year period, a handful of men and women changed the way we see the world. Many of them are well known—Marx, Freud, Proust, Einstein, Kafka. Others have vanished from collective memory despite their enduring importance in our daily lives. Without Karl Landsteiner, for instance, there would be no blood transfusions or major surgery. Without Paul Ehrlich, no chemotherapy. Without Siegfried Marcus, no motor car. Without Rosalind Franklin, genetic science would look very different. Without Fritz Haber, there would not be enough food to sustain life on earth. What do these visionaries have in common? They all had Jewish origins. They all had a gift for thinking in wholly original, even earth-shattering ways. In 1847 the Jewish people made up less than 0.25% of the world&’s population, and yet they saw what others could not. How? Why? Norman Lebrecht has devoted half of his life to pondering and researching the mindset of the Jewish intellectuals, writers, scientists, and thinkers who turned the tides of history and shaped the world today as we know it. In Genius & Anxiety, Lebrecht begins with the Communist Manifesto in 1847 and ends in 1947, when Israel was founded. This robust, magnificent volume, beautifully designed, is an urgent and necessary celebration of Jewish genius and contribution.

by Don Landis Jackson Hole Bible CollegeEvidences and commonalities explored from ancient man around the globe! <p><p> Why structures echoing the Tower of Babel have been recreated on almost every continent and major culture. What artifacts and archaeology, technology and innovation, really reveal about the origin of mankind. Why many biblical symbols (rainbows, human sacrifice, mountains, the Son/ sun worship) were, and continue to be, distorted in pagan religious practices. What the historical record reveals about Satan’s “counterfeit” of God’s plan for humanity. <p><p> All over the world there are similar findings of ancient religions, cities and towers, world travel, advanced astronomy, and civilized government. Over the course of two years, a team of researchers from Jackson Hole Bible College has worked to bring together the different pieces of the convoluted mystery and history of ancient man. <p><p> Hours of researching, trips to various sites around North and Central America, visits to museums, and meetings with experts have provided the team with an overwhelming amount of evidence for the intelligence of these early innovators. A jumble of anomalies and magnificent structures continue to confound archaeology and anthropology today, yet as the dots are connected, one finds history as described in the biblical record.

The Genius of Judaism
by Bernard-Henri Lévy Steven B. KennedyFrom world-renowned public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy comes an incisive and provocative look at the heart of Judaism. For more than four decades, Bernard-Henri Lévy has been a singular figure on the world stage—one of the great moral voices of our time. Now Europe's foremost philosopher and activist confronts his spiritual roots and the religion that has always inspired and shaped him—but that he has never fully reckoned with. The Genius of Judaism is a breathtaking new vision and understanding of what it means to be a Jew, a vision quite different from the one we’re used to. It is rooted in the Talmudic traditions of argument and conflict, rather than biblical commandments, borne out in struggle and study, not in blind observance. At the very heart of the matter is an obligation to the other, to the dispossessed, and to the forgotten, an obligation that, as Lévy vividly recounts, he has sought to embody over decades of championing “lost causes,” from Bosnia to Africa’s forgotten wars, from Libya to the Kurdish Peshmerga’s desperate fight against the Islamic State, a battle raging as we speak. Lévy offers a fresh, surprising critique of a new and stealthy form of anti-Semitism on the rise as well as a provocative defense of Israel from the left. He reveals the overlooked Jewish roots of Western democratic ideals and confronts the current Islamist threat while intellectually dismantling it. Jews are not a “chosen people,” Lévy explains, but a “treasure” whose spirit must continue to inform moral thinking and courage today. Lévy’s most passionate book, and in many ways his most personal, The Genius of Judaism is a great, profound, and hypnotic intellectual reckoning—indeed a call to arms—by one of the keenest and most insightful writers in the world. Praise for Bernard-Henri Lévy’s Left In Dark Times “Moving and inspiring . . . Bernard-Henri Lévy, perhaps the most prominent intellectual in France today, [speaks] truth to power.”—The Boston Globe “Continually asking himself as well as others to confront the hard questions, [Lévy] produces a text that [is] highly absorbing.”—The New York Times Book Review “[Lévy’s] discussion of contemporary anti-Semitism is sophisticated, detailed and convincing.”—Los Angeles Times American Vertigo “An entertaining trip, as much in the tradition of Jack Kerouac as Tocqueville.”—The New York Times “Perceptive, pugnacious, passionate [and] exquisitely written.”—The New York Observer “It’s difficult to remember when a writer of any nationality so clearly and thoughtfully delineated both the good and bad in America. [Grade: A].”—Entertainment WeeklyFrom the Hardcover edition.
Genius of the Transcendent: Mystical Writings of Jakob Boehme
by Jeff Bach Jakob Boehme Michael L. BirkelHere, for the spiritual adventurers of our own age, is an accessible introduction to one of the most important of the Christian mystical writers. Jakob Boehme (1575-1624) was a humble shoemaker of Görlitz in eastern Germany who, in response to the visionary experiences that began for him as a teenager, wrote a series of theosophical treatises that explore the nature of God and humanity. His ability to give words to the ineffable has never been surpassed, and his influence can be felt in the generations of mystics who followed him, as well as in Pietists, German Romantics, Quakers, and American utopianists, among many others. Five of Boehme's most essential works are presented here in fresh translations that demonstrate why Underhill called him "one of the most astonishing cases in history of a natural genius for the transcendent."

Gennie the Huguenot Woman
by Bette M. RossThe time of the French and Indian Wars. Those turbulent times when our nation was experiencing birth pains.

There Gennie meets and falls in love with Thomas Roebuck, a rugged young trapper who is headed North to fight against the French. Before he leaves, he and Gennie are betrothed. But while he is away, a wealthy, elderly merchant takes an interest in Gennie and offers her master a trade that is too tempting to resist. Gennie struggles to remain free but, as a servant, she is powerless to decide her own fate. She then finds herself involved in a cruel, loveless marriage and is sustained solely by her deep-rooted faith in her Savior. Despite her desperate situation, she believes that He will provide a means of escape.
Genocide in Jewish Thought
by David PattersonAmong the topics explored in this book are ways of viewing the soul, the relation between body and soul, environmentalist thought, the phenomenon of torture, and the philosophical and theological warrants for genocide. Presenting an analysis of abstract modes of thought that have contributed to genocide, the book argues that a Jewish model of concrete thinking may inform our understanding of the abstractions that can lead to genocide. Its aim is to draw upon distinctively Jewish categories of thought to demonstrate how the conceptual defacing of the other human being serves to promote the murder of peoples, and to suggest a way of thinking that might help prevent genocide.
The Genre of Acts and Collected Biography
by Sean A. AdamsIt is widely accepted by New Testament scholars that the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles probably originated as two parts of one work by a single author. In spite of this, the books have been assigned to very different genres: Luke is traditionally viewed as a biography of Jesus, and Acts as a history of the early church. Comparing in detail the structure and content of Acts with the formal features of history, novel, epic and biography, Sean Adams challenges this division. Applying both ancient and modern genre theory, he argues that the best genre parallel for the Acts of the Apostles is in fact collected biography. Offering a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of genre theory, along with an insightful argument regarding the composition and purpose of Acts, this book will be of interest to those studying the New Testament, Acts, genre theory and ancient literature.

Gente común, poder extraordinario
by John EckhardtLa Iglesia primitiva nos da un ejemplo perfecto de cómo un pequeño grupo de cristianos comprometidos puede influir en su comunidad y cambiar el mundo. Los apóstoles cambiaron la manera que el Pueblo de Dios vivía. Dondequiera que fueron, lo que creyeron transformó la cultura. En Gente común, poder extraordinario, John Eckhardt le ayuda a entender el propósito y la función de los apóstoles de hoy en día. Utilizando ejemplos de Jesús y la Iglesia primitiva, Eckhardt le muestra la estrategia de Dios para lo apostólico y la base bíblica para su uso y patrón. Descubrirá... •Las características de un apóstol •El rol apropiado y la función de lo apostólico •Las maneras en que Dios usa este don en el mundo de hoy Los apóstoles son pioneros. Predican y enseñan la cultura del Reino de Dios. Este es un reino de amor, humildad, poder, autoridad y servicio. A través de adiestramiento, enseñanza, discipulado y relaciones, Dios comienza a otorgarle poderes a las personas en el Espíritu Santo para prepararlos para un servicio más grande.

Gente que sume: Llene su tanque relacional para la vida, el amor y el liderazgo
by John TownsendLas organizaciones saludables precisan líderes saludables y de óptimo nivel. En un entorno cada vez más complejo y competitivo, los líderes necesitan estar a la vanguardia.Los líderes exitosos entienden el mundo de las relaciones. El “factor gente” es de vital importancia para su competencia y enfoque. Dos problemas ralentizan su eficacia:Los líderes son los “originadores” de la mayoría de sus relaciones; es decir que lideran, guían, dirigen, desarrollan, asesoran, entrenan y alientan a aquellos en sus vidas. Si bien ser originadores beneficia a otros, desafortunadamente están en desequilibrio respecto de ser los “destinatarios” o receptores. Tienen muy pocas relaciones clave que los favorezcan, lo que respalda su crecimiento y desarrollo, y en las que pueden sentirse plenamente conocidos y comprendidos.Los líderes gastan demasiada energía con las personas equivocadas. Por naturaleza, son solucionadores de problemas, y emplean su tiempo y atención en las personas que los desgastan. Todo líder puede identificarse con esa “persona del proyecto” que se ha puesto al hombro para intentar corregir, orientar, ayudar, rescatar o reparar, y en la que a veces desperdician su energía durante años, solo para darse cuenta de que no fue un tiempo bien empleado.Los líderes están patas para arriba en sus relaciones, y este libro los ayudará a pararse derechos, enseñándoles sobre estos siete tipos de personas: coaches, camaradas, colegas, relaciones casuales, de cuidado, crónicas y contaminantes.Todo líder necesita cobrar perspectiva y tener a mano herramientas que le ayuden a saber invertir su tiempo sabiamente con las personas adecuadas y evitar las incorrectas. Con esa comprensión y habilidades, se evitarán muchos problemas en el trabajo y en la vida, como ser un funcionamiento cerebral más bajo, pérdida de energía, conflictos de relación, malas decisiones, problemas de concentración, de salud y luchas mentales.
