Book Description
In The Institution of the Hasmonean High Priesthood, Vasile Babota offers an interdisciplinary study of the establishment of the Hasmonean priests as high priests in Jerusalem, from their revolt in 167 down to 140. The Hasmonean high priests exercised both religious and civil powers until 37 B.C.E. and some acted also as kings. Previous studies looked at them mainly from a biblical /Jewish perspective. Vasile Babota persuasively argues that the first high priests Jonathan and Simon acted as Hellenistic high priestly rulers. This conclusion is based on an analysis of the activity of the high priests Jonathan and Simon on internal and external levels, a comparison with earlier Jewish high priests, and a comparison with Hellenistic (Seleucid and Ptolemaic) high priests.

Book Description
Honest-to-goodness miracle workers were not welcomed by the Pastor of Rome County Kentucky’s snake-handling church. Josiah David Fitzpatrick Sr. was averse to being shown up by anyone, especially his blood-crying son, JoJo. Growing up in the Ku Klux Klan, in the 1970s, with a sociopathic father and a child-molesting stepmother was a daily struggle all by itself. But the day six-year-old JoJo gave sight to his eyeless best friend, Larissa, in the presence of his father’s church, the need to escape Rome County became a matter of life and death. JoJo had to leave to save himself and his older brother, Judas, and stepsister, Ruth. The journey would open JoJo’s spiritual eyes to his own darkness and teach him that the meaning of life is, and always has been, to dance with God. A story of the supernatural, To Dance with God introduces us to the blood criers in the world, that see beyond the darkness of man with an impossible love not their own. The story transcends organized religion with the underlying truth of us all—that we are the most alive when we love each other. The author can be reached at
