Book Description
The Thirty Pieces of Silver: Coin Relics in Medieval and Modern Europe discusses many interconnected topics relating to the most perfidious monetary transaction in history: the betrayal of Jesus by Judas for thirty pieces of silver. According to medieval legend, these coins had existed since the time of Abraham’s father and had been used in many transactions recorded in the Bible. This book documents fifty specimens of coins which were venerated as holy relics in medieval and modern churches and monasteries of Europe, from Valencia to Uppsala. Most of these relics are ancient Greek silver coins in origin mounted in precious reliquaries or used for the distribution of their wax imprints believed to have healing powers. Drawing from a wide range of historical sources, from hagiography to numismatics, this book will appeal to students and academics researching Late Antique, Medieval, and Early Modern History, Theology, as well as all those interested in the function of relics throughout Christendom. The Thirty Pieces of Silver is a study that invites meditation on the highly symbolic and powerful role of money through coins which were the price, value, and measure of Christ and which, despite being the most abject objects, managed to become relics.

When Jesus betrayed Jesus he was paid thrity pieces of silver. When he tried to return the money the chief priests said, This money was paid to have a man killed. We can't put it in the temple treasury. They could pay, we learn, for Jesus' murder with the silver, but they couldn't put it back in the church's bank account. That's the murderous spirit of religion that is still lurking about actively seeking to destroy His Church and your life. The religious spirit did not disappear after the resurrection of Jesus.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Have you ever considered the fact that nothing "just happens"? Everything that was done to you in your life required God's permission. We are always going to have a Goliath, a Judas, a Pontius Pilate who stands against us in our lives. It was my Judas who set the stage and put me on course for my destiny. Remember Legion? Remember how Jesus cast the demons out of his body? These demons fled into a herd of pigs, only to be drowned in the river. The townspeople came to witness Legion's miracle, but then asked Jesus to leave when they realized it was their pigs that drowned. Isn't that how most people are? Happy for us until they realize it costs them something. All of a sudden, they're gone. This too required God's permission. We all have a Judas who has betrayed us. We all have a Goliath that fought us, we all have a Pontius Pilate who crucified us, and a Pharaoh who assigns us our identity. All these obstacles in our lives were positioned to set us on course. What they meant for evil, God uses for our good.
