Exiled by his uncle to England, and a job with Lord Tilbury's Mammoth Publishing Company, spirited young American Sam Shotter resolves to pursue the girl of his dreams—who, unfortunately, he knows only from a single photograph, torn from a magazine and pinned by some unknown hand to the wall of a remote Canadian fishing cabin. A night of misadventures in London brings Sam to the very house—in the quiet suburb of Valley Fields—where the girl lives, and Sam instantly moves into the vacant house next door. But unfortunately his stay there is not to be a peaceful one...

Nothing is new or original in Christianity. That is the important thesis demonstrated in Christianity Before Christ. The least important features, as well as the most important components, were all well developed in cultures that flourished before the time that Christ is alleged to have walked the parched paths of Roman Palestine.

L’histoire de l’Église est importante parce qu’elle nous montre comment les interactions de Dieu avec son peuple dans la Bible se poursuivent encore aujourd’hui à travers la vie et l’œuvre de Jésus-Christ. Si vous cherchez un livre court qui vous éclairera et qui éveillera votre...

When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen? Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male.

In 2015, the historian Chris Momany helped discover a manuscript that had been forgotten in a storage closet at Adrian College in Michigan. He identified it as the journal of a nineteenth-century Christian abolitionist and missionary, David Ingraham. As Momany and a fellow historian Doug Strong pored over the diary, they realized that studying this document could open new conversations for twenty-first-century Christians to address the reality of racism today. They invited a multiracial team of fourteen scholars to join in, thus launching the Dialogue on Race and Faith Project.

Church historians have long known and appreciated Christianity's global history. Until recently, however, introductory textbooks on the history of Christianity focused almost exclusively on Europe and North America. Robert Bruce Mullins's A Short World History of Christianity, by contrast, offers a panoramic picture of the history of Christianity in its Western and non-Western expressions.

Written by an accomplished historian, award-winning author, public evangelical spokesman, and respected teacher, this introductory textbook shows why Christians should study history, how faith is brought to bear on our understanding of the past, and how studying the past can help us more effectively love God and others. John Fea shows that deep historical thinking can relieve us of our narcissism; cultivate humility, hospitality, and love; and transform our lives more fully into the image of Jesus Christ.

The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world.

Молот ведьм — печально известное «руководство для охотников на ведьм», написанное монахом Генрихом Крамером и деканом Кельнского университета Якобом Шпренгером. Книга вышла в 1487 году и выдержала 29 переизданий, получив одинаковую популярность по всей разодранной религиозным расколом Европе. Большинство исследователей склоняются к версии, что при помощи этой книги Генрих Крамер пытался оправдать свою собственную инквизиторскую деятельность, приведшую к сожжению двухсот женщин и позорному изгнанию Крамера с инквизиторской службы за фанатизм и жестокость.
