Book Description
This is volume I of Crypt A Verse Fun. We started working on this book in January of 2010. Ninety percent of the royalties from this book will go to buy Bibles for people in foreign countries, those who are longing for God's Word. Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes from hearing the word of God. When you purchased this book, you helped make it possible for someone to receive their very own copy of the best book in the world, God's Holy Word. May God bless you for your gift to them. We are planning volume II in 2011. We are retired and live on beautiful Lake Cumberland in Southern Kentucky. Somehow we found time to complete this book while pursuing our other passions. Such as spending time with our 17 grand children, working in local churches with a mentoring program, maintaining rental property, and volunteering in several community organizations. As we look forward to the future, with our 17 grand children, we are excited about the possibility of having many great grand children.

Book Description
890 AD France. The last imperial heir of Charlemagne is dead, and every duke is proclaiming himself king. Egilolf, a former soldier, could care less. He needs to steal bones. A saint's bones. With the prospect of a large payout, he recruits the scribe Aristeus, a refugee fleeing Viking invasions. Perhaps he should have told his new companion the true reason he's pilfering saints. Together the thief and scribe must dodge bandits, Vikings, and warring lords-not to mention their own lies-only to find unearthing bones the easiest step. Yet Egilolf's fiercest battle is the one within. How can defending the weak be just, when God abandons him when he has to kill? And when Vikings become more than a faceless enemy to Aristeus, will he, like the ancient martyrs he's always extolling, risk death to convert them?

The Ancient Egyptian Books of the Afterlife
Author: Erik Hornung
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801485152
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
This volume offers a survey about what is known about the Ancient Egyptians' vision of the afterlife and an examination of these beliefs that were written down in books that were later discovered in royal tombs. The contents of the texts range from the collection of spells in the Book of the Dead, which was intended to offer practical assistance on the journey to the afterlife, to the detailed accounts of the hereafter provided in the Books of the Netherworld. The author looks closely at these latter works, while summarizing the contents of the Book of the Dead and other widely studied examples of the genre. For each composition, he discusses the history of its ancient transmission and its decipherment in modern times, supplying bibliographic information for any text editions. He also seeks to determine whether this literature as a whole presents a monolithic conception of the afterlife. The volume features many drawings from the books themselves.

Gods and Men in Egypt
Author: Françoise Dunand
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801488535
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
In their wide-ranging interpretation of the religion of ancient Egypt, Françoise Dunand and Christiane Zivie-Coche explore how, over a period of roughly 3500 years, the Egyptians conceptualized their relations with the gods. Drawing on the insights of anthropology, the authors discuss such topics as the identities, images, and functions of the gods; rituals and liturgies; personal forms of piety expressing humanity's need to establish a direct relation with the divine; and the afterlife, a central feature of Egyptian religion. That religion, the authors assert, was characterized by the remarkable continuity of its ritual practices and the ideas of which they were an expression.Throughout, Dunand and Zivie-Coche take advantage of the most recent archaeological discoveries and scholarship. Gods and Men in Egypt is unique in its coverage of Egyptian religious expression in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Written with nonspecialist readers in mind, it is largely concerned with the continuation of Egypt's traditional religion in these periods, but it also includes fascinating accounts of Judaism in Egypt and the appearance and spread of Christianity there.

The Boundaries of Monotheism
Author: Anne-Marie Korte
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004173161
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
What is the significance of monotheism in modern western culture, taking into account both its problematic and promising aspects? Biblical texts and the biblical faith traditions bear a continuous, polemical tension between exclusive and inclusive perceptions and interpretations of monotheism. Western monotheism proves itself to be multi-significant and heterogeneous, producing boundary-setting as well as boundary-crossing tendencies, is the common thesis of the authors of this book, who have been collectively debating this theme for two years in an interdisciplinary scholarly setting. Their contributions range from the fields of biblical and religious studies, history and philosophy of religion, systematic theology, to gender studies in theology and religion.The authors also explain the particular contribution of their own theological discipline to these debates.
