Book Description
Three goddesses, banished to earth by their dad, Zeus (yeah, that Zeus)...Era, on mortal boys: "Look at him. Even the gods back home aren't that cute." Polly, on Nova High gossip: "I'm simply not in the mood to chatter on about silly spiteful girlsor cute Johnny Jims or sauerkraut breath." Thalia, on earth: "I mean, we don't know what earth is like. Maybe it's all leprechaunsand roses. Maybe it's an adventure every day. Maybe it's space-age." Polly, Era, and Thalia are stuck on earth, and to get back to Olympus, they've got to prove they've learned their lesson. And they've got to get through high school in the meantime. Which would be hard enough without the horribly evil Furies threatening to destroy their chances of ever seeing home again....

Book Description
Yale Classics (Vol. 1) marks an unprecedented assemblage of the luminaries of Ancient Greek literature, philosophy, and historiography, presenting a rich tapestry of the intellectual and creative brilliance that has shaped not only Western literature but also the very foundation of Western thought. This collection spans a breathtaking range of genresfrom the philosophical dialogues of Plato and Aristotle to the epic poetry of Homer, the tragic dramas of Sophocles and Euripides, and the historical narratives of Herodotus and Thucydides. Each work is a testament to the diversity and depth of ancient Greek literary and philosophical tradition, offering readers a glimpse into the myriad ways the ancients grappled with themes of power, morality, fate, and virtue. Noteworthy are the poetic fragments of Sappho and Anacreon, which provide a rare insight into the lyrical expressions of personal emotion, influencing countless generations thereafter. The contributing authors and editors, revered not only for their foundational roles in literature and philosophy but also for their profound impact on the development of Western cultural and intellectual history, emerge from varied backgrounds but share a common heritage of profound insight into the complexity of the human condition and the world. Their collective works represent the confluence of literary genius and philosophical inquiry that defines the Classical era, engaging with themes of heroism, governance, ethics, and aesthetics. This anthology aligns with and celebrates significant historical and cultural movements, encapsulating the essence of the Classical period in a way that no single author could. Culminating in an invitation to modern readers, Yale Classics (Vol. 1) offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with the seminal works that have not only laid the groundwork for Western thought but continue to challenge and inspire. It beckons to those eager to explore the roots of contemporary culture, ethics, and politics through the lens of ancient wisdom. As such, this volume is an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in the endurance of classical themes in modern times, providing a unique dialogue between epochs and glittering testimony to the enduring legacy of Ancient Greek civilization.

The Son of God
Author: Martin Hengel
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1556352301
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
This work significantly advances the critical discussion of New Testament Christology. Hengel examines the titles Son and God. He points toward an inner consistency and dynamic in the development of the doctrine of Christ in primitive Christianity as the movement proceeded from the Gospels' account of the death of Jesus to the high Christology present in the Pauline writings. Historical scholarship and theological -- one might even say dogmatic -- questions must not stand in unresolved contradiction. On the contrary, the historian misunderstands the nature of New Testament Christology if he does not grasp its theological concern and its inner consistency, while a dogmatic approach that does not take seriously the historical course of Christianity is in danger of becoming no more than abstract speculation. It is therefore vitally important to unite historical research and the theological search for truth.
