What you have before you, for the first time in English, is a reformational jewel by the Spanish reformer Cipriano de Valera (1531-1602). In his Treatise (1594), originally written for those protestant believers enslaved by the Barbary pirates, or corsairs, Valera masterfully comforts, exhorts, and edifies, while providing a deconstruction of Roman Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam. Perhaps most remarkable is his encouragement to those faithful held captive to witness to their captors, in both speech and life action, harbouring deep within a hope that the seed of the gospel planted by the captives would produce life-transforming fruit in their captors. Valera had the audacity to believe, as we all should, that the gospel can transform the hearts of those whom we might perceive as our most bitter enemies. That should provoke us to equal or greater faith in what the gospel can accomplish by the power of the Spirit of God.

Activism, Bible, and Research-Based Teaching demonstrates how the cross-fertilisation between biblical studies and social justice activism generates creativity that is powerful, empowering, and inspiring. This volume offers diverse and critical insights, as well as hands-on strategies for classroom settings. Shared emphasis on academic rigour and practical application is evident throughout.Socially engaged biblical scholars-from Aoterora New Zealand, Botswana, Hong Kong, South Africa, Uganda, the UK and the USA-focus on a spectrum of activist causes. Topics include resistance to discrimination on the grounds of HIV/AIDS status, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, migrant status, and ethnicity, as well as advocacy for environmental protection, equity, and getting out of ones bubble. Multiple chapters reflect on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on tertiary education. The volume contains an introduction and forewords by Richard Newton (University of Alabama, USA) and Emily Colgan (Trinity Theological College, Aotearoa New Zealand). The 14 chapters include 12 revised contributions previously published in a special issue of the open access Journal of Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies, alongside two new chapters, which were both presented at a Bible and Activism event combining community and academic engagements.

The Evolution of the Plural Body of HumanityADAM: MALE AND FEMALE. Yadullaha alal Jamuaah!Allahs (Gds) Hand is on the Whole People! Mankind has long struggled archetypally for a unifying spirit of reason and logic based on universals that will satisfy the human soul as a plural body. This inherent yearning for peace for the human soul has been evolving since Adam (as) was created from clay and molded into shape.What is a plural body? Plural means more than one. As the primary thesis of this work, plural means Adam (as), understood as the beginning of the whole of Mankind as a single body that includes every soul as one soul. Adam is the beginning of the plural body of humanity, as is the potential created in every human soul. This work seeks to promote the Alignment of the Natural World and the Social World as an academic study proposing the use of the Scriptural Reasoning of Al Quran and the life example (Uswah) of the universal Prophet, Muhammed (saw). The keys are given in the Quranic commentary of Americas Imam, Imam Warith Deen Mohammed (raa), other Scriptural narratives and universals that inform the Rational Sciences.Knowledge Frees Everyone.~ IWDM

James Adam Redfield offers a new reader-centered approach to some of the Talmuds most challenging stories and how these tales have interacted with diverse interpretive frameworks from ancient myth to modern mysticism. By reevaluating conventional assumptions about coherence, authority, and tradition, the book redefines how stories can function in the Talmud, reorients the study of rabbinic literature around practices of reading and reception, and opens pathways for connecting the Talmud with broader conversations in the study of literature. Rich appendixes revealing the stories reception in late ancient exegesis, medieval responsa, and early modern commentaries make this volume a valuable specialist resource, while its lively prose is accessible for a wider audience of students and humanities scholars.

More than 150 full colour aerial photographs taken from my hot air balloon of Ashbourne and local villages between 1985-90. These provide a fascinating historical record of this small market town in Derbyshire in the 1980s. So many changes have occurred since these were taken, what once were green fields and school playing fields are now housing estates. Several local villages are also included in the collection including: Osmaston, Mappleton, Clifton, Carsington, Parwich, Thorpe and Mayfield.

This is about life on a council estate in the county borough of Bootle in North Liverpool during the 1960s-1970s with the spectre of penury looming heavily over the family home. The love of grandparents and the memories that last a life time of going abroad to the Isle of Man to the struggles of teenage years and family breakdown. Of best friends, of street football games, adventures far and wide. Of a failed eleven plus, of paper rounds and school days and corporal punishment meted out on a daily basis. Through the violence and racism of the late 1960s early 1970s and adolescence. Tales of building work and trade union awareness, unemployment and nearly thirty years of political representation. Of the legal profession and mental health services, a life so varied and one of fighting social injustice and racism, from a lowly apprentice to a first citizen of a metropolitan authority.

I wrote A Grimoire From Under The Gallows Tree to help those new to the craft or for those like me, who are seeking to keep key aspects of the craft close to hand, with- out the need to sift through numerous other texts. For those unfamiliar with the term, a Grimoire should not be confused with a Book of Shadows. A Grimoire serves as a guide for practicing the craft, while a Book of Shadows is a personal collection of spells and rituals gathered throughout your journey. This book is primarily a Grimoire, however, in the final chapter, you will find some of my own spells and rituals, which I use regularly, and blank pages to help you begin creating your own Book of Shadows.

This personal journal through the Bible for the year 2023 represents a unique and heartfelt approach to spiritual reflection. Instead of following the traditional method of noting the Book and Chapters along with a comment on a scripture verse that resonated each day, I chose to infuse my journey with creativity and playfulness. In this journal, youll find not just written reflections, but also silly drawings, simple narratives, and meaningful verses that capture the essence of my daily readings.Designed with simplicity and enjoyment in mind, this journal is perfect for anyone, including those who might be new to the Bible or seeking a different perspective. It offers a brief yet insightful look at the sequence and purpose of various Bible stories and characters, aiming to illuminate Gods clear and purposeful communication with us.This is not a comprehensive study of every story or precept but rather a delightful and engaging exploration of faith. Through this journal, I hope readers will appreciate that Jesus came to offer forgiveness and that we can approach a holy God without condemnation, as expressed in Romans 8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

A few letters ago, you asked me what my definition of love was. Simply put, it is a great affection and desire to be with and near the person who is loved, which brings about a state of contentment and happiness. In scientific theory, I would say it is a form of magnetic attraction brought about by the attraction of different poles combined with complementary wavelengths, which draw and attract one to the other. On a religious level, I would say it is one of Gods greatest gifts to men, designed to make men brothers, bring about peace in the world, and combine the purposes of a man and woman in order to bring souls into this world to prove themselves. Man is that he might have joy, and Gods greatest instrument to provide joy is love. This book provides a compelling story of the challenges of truly loving ones spouse. Married for three months and then separated for two years, Pete and Suzannes love story is a poignant reminder that eternal vows endure and bind in sickness, happiness, joy, sorrow, poverty, and separation. Petes missionary service for the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints and Suzannes own personal growth and encouragement to him set the pattern of faith, commitment to family, love, and meaningful living for their marriage of 66 years. Now temporarily separated again by Suzannes death, their original nine children have multiplied to a posterity of over 160.

The early American landscape painters would often paint, in the background of their art, magnificent towering mountains. These beautiful mountains represented the power and majesty of God. Whatever the landscape, we are drawn to the great hope and protection found in God the Creator.Mountains have also been seen as having a special place to the understanding of the spiritual life. Both Moses and Jesus had important events on the mountain. And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou may teach them. (Exodus 24:12) And after he (Jesus) had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray. Immediately before choosing his twelve apostles. (Mark 6:46)In Japan, Mount Fuji is very much understood as a spiritual mountain for the Japanese. Mount Taylor in New Mexico is seen as a sacred mountain to the Navajo Nation. In almost every nation, there are mountains that call for the spiritual part of our life to lift our eyes unto the hills. Some take pilgrimages up the mountain. There is a sense of being closer to God, not so much in physical distance but in spiritual awareness.Mondays are the beginning of the week for secular life. Saturday and Sundays are marked as days of rest and worship. As some say, we live for the weekends. And that leaves Monday as the culprit of ending our happy time. We are called back to our work, our labor, our schedules set by others. There is this feeling of beginning all over to make it to Friday. And yet, Monday is a day that God has given to us. It is a day that all of Gods promises hold true for us. The word Monday came from an earlier English word for Moon. The Moon is essential for the immigration of birds and the impact of the ocean tides. It is the work of our Mondays to guide us into a new week. Just as our spiritual life is to guide us, so are the Mondays that we face. It really becomes an opportunity to adjust our secular understanding of Monday to a spiritual awareness that every day is a good day in Gods realm.Mountain Monday is a simple way to express that God has made both the mountains and our Mondays for His glory and our good. It is just how we want to make the day. On a mountain or not, we are Gods greatest love.Bruce Sloan

In Boomtown Reflections - Volume 4, New Beginnings, Mark A. Gregg delivers another inciteful view into the Gregg familys foray into the boom town of Wheatland, Wyoming. Wheatland, Wyoming was a town of less than 2,000 people when Basin Electric Power Cooperative chose it for the construction of the mighty Laramie River Power Station. It was a massive 1650 megawatt, coal fired power plant that was fueled from the colossal Powder River Basin coal fields of northern Wyoming. Construction peaked at approximately 10,000 personnel, partially overwhelming the sleepy little burg of Wheatland with classic boom town syndrome. The author paints a detailed picture of maturing in the boom town environment, largely due to the previous experiences of the Gregg family in Rock Springs, Wyoming and Farmington, New Mexico. However, Wheatland was different. There was a spiritual awakening for the Gregg family. Volume - 4, New Beginnings details the often humorous birth pangs of a new power station, as well as the captivating and spellbinding birth pangs of a family ushered into a new and incredible spiritual awakening. The simple, straight forward, and truthful telling of these events by the author offers the readers a fascinating look at the transition and transformation of the Gregg family. It is a must-read in the Boom Town Reflections series.
