In Rome the echoes of the past resound clearly in its palaces and monuments, and in the remains of the ancient imperial city. But another presence has dominated Rome for 2,000 years -the pope, whose actions and influence echo down the ages. In this epic tale, historian Jessica Warnberg tells, for the first time, the story of Rome through the lens of its popes, illuminating how these remarkable (and unremarkable) men have transformed lives and played a crucial role in deciding the fate of the city. Emerging as the anonymous leader of a marginal cult in the humblest quarters of the city, less than 300 years later the pope sat enthroned in a gilt basilica, endorsed by the emperor himself. Eventually, the Roman pontiff would supplant even the emperors, becoming the de facto ruler of Rome and pre-eminent leader of the Christian world. Shifting elegantly between the panoramic and the personal, the spiritual and the profane, this is a fresh and often surprising take on a city, a people and an institution that is at once familiar and elusive.

Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award FinalistA Comprehensive Look at Women Who Built the Early ChurchWomen were there. For centuries, discussions of early Christianity have focused on male leaders in the church. But there is ample evidence right in the New Testament that women were actively involved in ministry, at the frontier of the gospel mission, and as respected leaders.Nijay Gupta calls us to bring these women out of the shadows by shining light on their many inspiring contributions to the planting, growth, and health of the first Christian churches. He sets the context by exploring the lives of first-century women and addressing common misconceptions, then focuses on the women leaders of the early churches as revealed in Pauls writings. We discover the major roles of people such as: Phoebe, Pauls trusted coworker Prisca, strategic leader and expert teacher Junia, courageous apostle Nympha, representative of countless lesser-known figures When we understand the world in which Jesus and his followers lived and what the New Testament actually attests about women in the churches, it becomes clear that women were active participants and trusted leaders all along. They were welcomed by Paul and other apostles, were equipped and trained for ministry leadership, instructed others, traveled long distances, were imprisonedand once in a while became heroes and giants.The New Testament writers tell their stories. Its time for the church to retell them, again and again.

A lively and readable accountSpectatorA fine book ... well-written and well-researchedWashington TimesIn less than six hours in August 1942, nearly 1,000 British, Canadian and American commandos died in the French port of Dieppe in an operation that for decades seemed to have no real purpose. Was it a dry-run for D-Day, or perhaps a gesture by the Allies to placate Stalins impatience for a second front in the west?Historian David OKeefe uses hitherto classified intelligence archives to prove that this catastrophic and apparently futile raid was in fact a mission, set up by Ian Fleming of British Naval Intelligence as part of a pinch policy designed to capture material relating to the four-rotor Enigma Machine that would permit codebreakers like Alan Turing at Bletchley Park to turn the tide of the Second World War.A fast-paced and convincing book ... that clears up decades of misinformation about the ignoble raidToronto Star

The words of Martin Luther King Jr.s "I Have a Dream" speech have become enshrined in US history. But after the end of Kings generation of leadership, what happened to the African American struggle for freedom? Like the ancient Israelites, the African American community has survived a four-hundred-year collective trauma. What will it take for them to reach the promised land that King foresawto be truly free at last?In this classic historical and cultural study, Carl Ellis offers an in-depth assessment of the state of African American freedom and dignity. Stressing how important it is for African Americans to reflect on their roots, he traces the growth of Black consciousness from the days of slavery to the 1990s, noting especially the contributions of King and Malcolm X. Ellis examines elements of Black culture and offers a distinct perspective on how God is active in culture more broadly. Free at Last? concludes with a call for new generations of "jazz theologians" and cultural prophets to revitalize the African American church and expand its cultural range. The book also includes a helpful glossary of people, events, and terms.Ellis writes, "It is my prayer that the principles contained in this book will play a role in building bridges of understanding and facilitating reconciliation where there has been alienation." With a new preface by the author, this groundbreaking book is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection.

Ist dieses Buch ein Projekt der Aliens?Klara Wolf (Pseudonym) und ihre Familie hat bereits seit langerer Zeit auergewohnliche Erlebnisse und Kontakterfahrungen mit einer nichtirdischen Intelligenz. So hatte es die Autorin nicht nur mit den inzwischen allseits bekannten Grauen zu tun. Auch Blonde, durre Arzte, Reptiloide, eine riesige Gottesanbeterin (Mantis), geist- und energieartige Erscheinungen und Men in Black begegneten ihr. Nachdem Klara Wolf sich an den fachkundigen Autor und Hypnosetherapeuten Dr. Marcel Polte wandte, nahm sie dessen Ratschlag an, ihre Erlebnisse genau zu notieren. Auerdem wurden zahlreiche Zeichnungen uber das Geschehene von der Autorin und ihren Tochtern angefertigt. Im Laufe der Zeit wurde der Autorin klar, dass die Fremden ihr ganz offensichtlich Dinge zeigen, die sie fur die weitere Entwicklung der Menschheit fur wichtig erachten. Somit ist dieses Buch einzigartig und auch ein Projekt der Aliens.Der Entfuhrungs- und Kontaktfall Klara Wolf ist in seiner Ausfuhrlichkeit und den vielen einzelnen Facetten wohl einmalig im deutschsprachigen Raum. Allein der auerst gut dokumentierte Fall von Betty Andreasson, der von dem US-Forscher Raymond Fowler uber Jahre hinweg begleitet und in mehreren Buchern festgehalten wurde, kommt dem nahe. Dieses Buch ist ein Muss fur jeden, der sich fur das UFO-Entfuhrungs-Phanomen interessiert. Das vorliegende Werk vermittelt tiefgrundige Weisheiten. Doch nicht nur in und zwischen den Zeilen. Wer sich mit Zeit und Offenheit den Zeichnungen widmet, wird darin sicher auf versteckte Botschaften stoen. Dr. Marcel Polte

TIEFSTE DIMENSIONEN DES WISSENS Wie entsteht Existenz? Wer schafft Leben und Welten? Vielen Menschen gilt als Antwort: das war der Urknall. Ganz anders sehen es seit Urzeiten die Legenden und Marchen vieler Volker. Ihnen zufolge entstand die Welt nicht durch ein physikalisches Zufallsereignis, sondern wurde durch Magie oder Gesang aus dem Nichts geschopft. Unsere Tiefenerinnerungen sagen uns ahnliches. Im Versuch, Sinn und Zweck des eigenen Lebens zu begreifen, stoen Tausende Menschen in ihren MindWalking-Sitzungen auf groe und grote Zusammenhange. Auch die Entstehungsgeschichte des Universums und von Existenz uberhaupt erschliet sich. Demzufolge ist unsere Welt nicht durch einen Urknall entstanden, sondern auf spiritueller Grundlage. Sie wurde buchstablich ins Leben gerufen und wird es immer noch, denn auch heute noch entsteht Existenz permanent aus dem Nichts heraus. Wie Geist zu Materie werden kann und welche Grundgesetze dabei zum Tragen kommen, davon handelt dieses Buch im ersten Teil. Der zweite Teil vergleicht die Legenden zur Schopfungsgeschichte mit den ahnlich marchenhaft klingenden MindWalking-Befunden. Wir alle haben als geistige Wesen eine Rolle dabei gespielt, sei sie klein oder gro. Wir tun es immer noch. Welche Verantwortung damit einhergeht, wird in diesem Buch deutlich gemacht. Leserstimmen: "Die Erkenntnisse aus vielen tausenden Stunden geistiger Erkundungsreisen in wenigen Gesetzmaigkeiten zusammengefasst. Damit wird eine neue Sicht auf die Welt nicht nur greifbar, sondern auch besprechbar. Ein Fundament fur wirksames und befreiendes Training, Coaching und Management!" Wie ist unsere Welt entstanden? Wer oder was sind wir? Welches Potenzial steckt in uns? Das steckt fur mich da drin. Alle Phanomene und Komponenten von Existenz und Bewusstsein werden hier erklart. Besonders die Entstehung von Lebewesen hat mich beruhrt, gerade dass Pflanzen und Tiere eine Personlichkeit haben weit uber das Biologische hinaus. Wie das Universum und der ganze Rest verkorkst wurde. Und wie wir es anhand der Gesetze des Seins wieder in Ordnung bringen konnen. Erhellende Fakten, um sich selbst naher zu kommen und sich und sein Umfeld zu kapieren. Die Urmutter aller Science-Fiction-Filme mit ihrem Kampf zwischen Gut und Bose.

The present volume reflects the work of the joint expedition of Cairo University and Brown University to record and publish the tombs uncovered on behalf of Cairo University by Prof. Abdel-Moneim Abu Bakr from 1949 through 1953, but never published. The loss of field records and lack of a map of the site meant that new, salvage excavation had to be undertaken. A total of six seasons, from 2000-2006 resulted in the clearing, remapping, and recording of the monuments in the cemetery. Abu Bakr Cemetery is of particular interest because the majority of mastaba tombs belong to relatively low-ranking individuals. Thus they have the potential to she light on the social status of Egypts working classes.

The wish to affiliate with a specific cultural, social, or ethnical group is as important today as it was in past societies, such as that of the ancient Egyptians. The same significance applies to the self-presentation of an individual within such a group. Although it is inevitable that we perceive ancient cultures through the lens of our time, place, and value systems, we can certainly try to look beyond these limitations. Questions of how the ancient Egyptians saw themselves and how individuals tried to establish and thus present themselves in society are central pieces of the puzzle of how we interpret this ancient culture. This volume focuses on the topic of identity and self-presentation, tackling the subject from many different angles: the ways in which social and personal identities are constructed and maintained; the manipulations of culture by individuals to reflect real or aspirational identities; and the methods modern scholars use to attempt to say something about ancient persons. Building on the work of Ronald J. Leprohon, to whom this volume is dedicated, contributions in this volume present an overview of our current state of understanding of patterns of identity and self-presentation in ancient Egypt. The contributions approach various aspects of identity and self-presentation through studies of gender, literature, material culture, mythology, names, and officialdom.

(Auto-)biography is a genre of ancient Egyptian written discourse that was central to high culture from its earliest periods. Belonging to the nonroyal elites, these texts present aspects of individual lives and experience, sometimes as narratives of key events, sometimes as characterizations of personal qualities. Egyptian (auto-) biographies offer a unique opportunity to examine the ways in which individuals fashioned distinctive selves for display and the significance of the physical, religious, and social contexts they selected. The present volume brings together specialists from a range of relevant periods, approaches, and interests. The studies collected here examine Egyptian (auto-)biographies from a variety of complementary perspectives: (1) anthropological and contrastive perspectives; (2) the original Old Kingdom settings; (3) text format and language; (4) social dimensions; and (5) religious experience.

This volume publishes hand copies of 292 cuneiform texts in the Yale Babylonian Collection dating to the Sargonic and Pre-Sargonic periods. It continues publication of the Pre-Ur III texts begun by George Hackman and Ferris Stephens in the series Babylonian lnscriptions in the Collection of J. B. Nies, volume 8. The tablet copies presented here include accounts and records from Isin, Nippur, Shuruppak, Umma, Zabala, Girsu, Umma, Lagash, Eshnunna, and Kish, as well as the Mesag archive.

The second half of the seventh millennium BC saw the demise of the previously affluent and dynamic Neolithic way of life. The period is marked by significant social and economic transformations of local communities, as manifested in a new spatial organization, patterns of architecture, burial practices, and in chipped stone and pottery manufacture. This volume has three foci. The first concerns the character of these changes in different parts of the Near East with a view to placing them in a broader comparative perspective. The second concerns the social and ideological changes that took place at the end of Neolithic and the beginning of the Chalcolithic that help to explain the disintegration of constitutive principles binding the large centers, the emergence of a new social system, as well as the consequences of this process for the development of full-fledged farming communities in the region and beyond. The third concerns changes in lifeways: subsistence strategies, exploitation of the environment, and, in particular, modes of procurement, consumption, and distribution of different resources.

From the late third millennium BCE on, the adventures of the hero Gilgamesh were well known throughout Babylonia and Assyria, and the discovery of Akkadian-language fragments of versions of his tale at Boazkoy, Ugarit, Emar, and Megiddo demonstrates that tales of the heros exploits had reached the periphery of the cuneiform world already in the Late Bronze Age. A century of excavation at the Hittite capital of Hattusa (mod. Boazkoy) has yielded more textual sources for Gilgamesh than are known from all other Late Bronze Age sites combined. The Gilgamesh tradition was imported to Hattusa for use in scribal instruction, and has been of particular importance to modern scholars in reconstructing the epic and analyzing its development, since it documents a period in the history of the narrative for which very few textual witnesses have yet been recovered from Mesopotamia itself. And it is this very Middle Babylonian period to which scholarly consensus assigns the composition of the final, "canonical" version of the epic. The Hittite Gilgamesh offers a full edition of the manuscripts from Hattusa in the Hittite, Akkadian, and Hurrian languages recounting Gilgameshs adventures.
