Pages : 428
Book Description
Three apparent suicides by co-eds at the same university seem tragic, but not particularly frightening—until the police receive a mysterious letter claiming responsibility for the deaths. Suddenly the police and the university are caught up in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as they try to stop the killer before another innocent victim dies. Shanicha was born bad. She was born with no compassion, no remorse … completely heartless. Instead, she's become a brilliant puppet-master who plants the seeds of destruction, then sits back to watch the evil she has wrought. To Shanicha, other people are merely pawns in her cruel game … a game she plays to chilling perfection.

Primitive Conceptions of Death and the Nether World in the Old Testament
Author: Nicholas J. Tromp
Publisher: Pontificio Istituto Biblico
ISBN:
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This study intends to show how the application of the fruits of Ugaritic scholarship can make a valuable contribution to the study of Israelite conceptions about Death and the Hereafter. In the first place this contribution is of a linguistic nature: it attempts to use the results of philological research on the Ugaritic texts and its application to biblical literature. Secondly, it tries to obtain a better perspective of Israelite views on death and the beyond with the help of conceptions found in these texts. This study is limited to mythical motives. This limitation implies that the theme treated is Death and Sheol as the Israelite eschata. The problems of immortality and resurrection are not discussed.

Category : History

Pages : 498
Book Description
The myths of the ancient Greeks have inspired us for thousands of years. Where did the famous stories of the battles of their gods develop and spread across the world? The celebrated classicist Robin Lane Fox draws on a lifetime’s knowledge of the ancient world, and on his own travels, answering this question by pursuing it through the age of Homer. His acclaimed history explores how the intrepid seafarers of eighth-century Greece sailed around the Mediterranean, encountering strange new sights—volcanic mountains, vaporous springs, huge prehistoric bones—and weaving them into the myths of gods, monsters and heroes that would become the cornerstone of Western civilization.
