See Sharp Press 24 Reasons to Abandon Christianity: Why
Book SynopsisTaking up where Christopher Hitchens' God Is Not Great left off, 24 Reasons to Abandon Christianity reveals Christianity's cruelty, dishonesty, fear-mongering, hypocrisy, misogyny, homophobia, dogmatism, and authoritarianism, and all of the misery, destruction, and death caused by these things. 24 Reasons to Abandon Christianity also reveals the roots of these characteristics, and why Christianity leads to all of these evils. While the book treats serious topics, its tone—much like Hitchens' book—is analytical, but also breezy and biting.Trade Review"Such bitterness, such negativity, such unbridled humor, wit and sarcasm." Mensa Bulletin (on The American Heretic's Dictionary )"[This book] is fun, informative, and more." Z Magazine (on The Heretic's Handbook of Quotations )"Solidly entertaining" Publishers Weekly (on Free Radicals: A novel of utopia and dystopia published under the pseudonym Zeke Teflon)

NEWTYPE Publishing Called To Reign: Living and Loving from a Place
Book SynopsisLike most Christians, you long to fulfill your calling. You seek the inheritance God has promised you. And you work hard to serve Him well and enter into His rest.But what if your destiny is already within reach? What if you already have access to all the things He has promised? What if, instead of working for rest, you can actually work from rest? The world, including most of the church, is working hard in order to find peace and rest. That’s why we see a constant cycle of restlessness around us. But we were designed to work from a place of rest, fully secure in our identity as children of God. This resting place is found in intimacy with the Father, where His family members experience complete acceptance and extravagant love.The resting place is there, available from God anywhere, anytime We are sons and daughters of a loving Father, not orphans trying to figure out who we are. We are called to reveal the true nature of God, and we cannot do that with an orphan mindset. When sons and daughters arise in the church, the world will begin to see the true nature of the Father and His family—a family that sees promises, not problems, and that reigns with Him! Using his well-known illustration of the three chairs, Leif Hetland explores the four pillars of this resting place, addressing four crucial questions: Identity: Who are you? Intimacy: Where are you? Inheritance: What do you have? Destiny: What are you called to do? The key to fulfilling your destiny is realizing the answers to each of these questions—in the order God designed for us. This book is will help you experience everything God wants for you by finding a resting place for yourself and becoming a resting place for Him. It is about an entirely different way to see and live, a way that refreshes, restores, and brings life. It is an invitation into the fullness and abundance that empowers you to do what you were called to do—to reign with Him!

Rutgers University Press At Ansha's: Life in the Spirit Mosque of a Healer
Book SynopsisAt Ansha's takes the reader inside the spirit mosque of a female healer in Nampula, northern Mozambique. It is here that Ansha, a Makonde spirit healer, heals the resisting ailments of her patients, discloses pieces of her story of affliction and healing, and engages the world outside her mosque. We come to know Ansha’s experiences as revolutionary and migrant, her religious trajectories, family, the healers who cured her, the spirits who possessed her, and her declining health. We follow Ansha’s shifts in her life and work in the mosque as these intersect with the visible and invisible borders of Mozambique and of its fraught history. Confronting events in her life and in the mosque between 2009 and 2016, Ansha invites us to make meaning with her, as we sit in her mosque, and engage with her family, spirits, friends, patients, and world.Trade Review"This vivid, richly woven ethnographic account of healing practice in Mozambique offers valuable insights into the fluidity and flexibility of cultural and religious boundaries. The book captures the dynamics of agency and power in its focus on a healer’s spiritual border-crossing, revealing alternative visions of experiences of culture and religion as continually re-constructed and emergent."— Susan Rasmussen, author of Those Who Touch: Tuareg Medicine Women in Anthropological Perspective "Through this ethnographic account of one healer in northern Mozambique, Daria Trentini evokes the contours of an entire social world. As Ansha works the borders between health and illness, tradition and modernity, good and evil—even life and death—Trentini shows how lives are defined by tensions and contradictions as well as attempts to ease them. By providing such an accessible and compelling narrative, Trentini herself works ontological borders between her readers and those she meets in Ansha’s compound."— Harry G. West, author of Ethnographic Sorcery "This ethnography is well written and offers much comparative material for medical anthropology, cultural anthropology, and the social science of medicine. I recommend it highly for both undergraduate and graduate students. Daria Trentini has made a very important contribution to the understanding of the personal and professional life and development of a spiritual healer." — Patricia Barker Lerch, Nova ReligioTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Foreword by Lenore Manderson List of Abbreviations Ansha’s Family Note on Languages Prologue Introduction Part I: Ansha and the Spirits 1 Rural and Urban 2 Health and Healing 3 Wives and Husbands 4 Demons and Spirits 5 Insiders and Outsiders 6 Mountains 7 Coast 8 Rivers and Bridges Part II: Outside the Mosque 9 Makhuwa and Maka 10 Books and Roots 11 Muslims of the Spirits and Muslims of the Mosque 12 Healers and the Governo 13 Healers and Nurses 14 Knowing and Not-Knowing Part III: Patients 15 Good and Evil 16 Closed and Opened 17 The Dead and the Living 18 Juniors and Seniors 19 Tradition and Modernity 20 Spirits and Women Part IV: Returns 21 Life and Death Epilogue Acknowledgments Glossary Notes References Index

Book SynopsisDer Autor beschäftigt sich mit der Auslegung des Jakobusbriefes und orientiert sich dabei an den Umständen seiner Entstehung. Formal handelt es sich um einen christlichen Diasporabrief. Inhaltlich beschäftigt sich der Brief mit den Versuchungen durch die Begierde und dem Gehorsam gegenüber Gott. Manabu Tsuji weist nach, daß der Jakobusbrief systematisch konzipiert ist. Er rekonstruiert das Bild der Adressatengemeinden, und zeigt dann, daß es gut zu dem der Gemeinden im paulinischen Missionsbereich paßt. Schließlich greift er das klassische Thema 'Jakobus und Paulus' auf: Der Verfasser des Jakobusbriefes polemisierte aufgrund seiner direkten Kenntnisse des Römerbriefes gegen die paulinische Rechtfertigungslehre. Er tat dies, weil er eine Assimilationstendenz der christlichen Kirche an die Verhaltensnormen der 'Welt' vor allem in den nachpaulinischen Gemeinden wahrnahm.Manabu Tsuji steht der bisher vorherrschenden Meinung in der Jakobus-Forschung kritisch gegenüber. Er berücksichtigt bei seiner Auslegung die Vielfalt der Briefgattung und kommt so zu dem Schluß, daß der Jakobusbrief in seiner gesamten Gestalt eben doch als Brief und nicht als Paränese zu betrachten ist. Außerdem kann er den inhaltlichen Zusammenhang des Jakobusbriefes nachweisen und geht davon aus, daß der Verfasser den paulinischen Römerbrief kannte. Diese Ergebnisse ermöglichen es, den Jakobusbrief vor allem im Zusammenhang mit der frühchristlichen Geschichte in einem neuen Licht zu betrachten.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Miracle and Mission: The Authentication of
Book SynopsisThe Longer Ending of the Gospel of Mark (Mark 16:9-20) was appended to the Gospel of Mark in the first half of the second century. James A. Kelhoffer explores this passage's distinct witness to the use of gospel traditions and the development of Christian thought. Concerning the origin of this passage, he argues that a single author made use of the New Testament Gospels in forging a more satisfactory ending to Mark. He studies the passage's sometimes innovative literary forms as well. Also of interest is the passage's claim that the ascended Lord will help "those who believe" to perform miraculous signs - casting out demons, speaking in new languages, picking up snakes, drinking poison with impunity and healing the sick - when they preach the gospel (verses 17-18, 20). This expectation is compared with portraits of miracles, especially in the context of mission, in the New Testament, various apocryphal acts and Christian apologists of the second and third centuries. In the two final chapters the author interprets the signs of picking up snakes (verse 18a) and drinking a deadly substance with impunity (verse 18b) in their history of religions contexts. An Epilogue summarizes the findings of this study and explores what can be ascertained about the otherwise unknown Christian author of Mark 16:9-20.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Forschungen zur Apostelgeschichte
Book SynopsisIm Mittelpunkt dieser gesammelten Studien stehen die 50er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts, die durch die Entmythologisierungsdebatte und die neu aufgekommene redaktionsgeschichtliche Forschungsmethode besonders geprägt wurden. Was das Thema dieses Bandes betrifft, war dies eine Epoche, in der mit Fortführung der Studien von Martin Dibelius die entscheidenden Weichen zum Verständnis des lukanischen Doppelwerkes gestellt wurden. Die Diskussion lief zunächst unter dem negativen Schlagwort 'Haut den Lukas!', geriet dann aber in ruhigeres Fahrwasser, in dem der theologische Eigenwert des Opus Lucanum zunehmend positiv gewürdigt wurde.Erstaunlich ist, daß Albert Schweitzer in seinen lange verschollenen, jetzt aber veröffentlichten 'Straßburger Vorlesungen' die Meinung vertrat, daß der Paulinismus der Apostelgeschichte nicht im Widerspruch zu dem der Paulusbriefe steht. Im letzten Beitrag dieser Sammlung geht Erich Gräßer besonders auf Schweitzers These vom 'Paulinismus als apostolisches Urchristentum' ein. In dem neu geschriebenen ersten Aufsatz gibt er sowohl Rückblick wie auch Ausblick auf die Entwicklung der Acta-Forschung in der zweiten Hälfte des vorigen Jahrhunderts. Erich Gräßer reflektiert ihren gegenwärtigen Stand kritisch und zeichnet ihre Entwicklungslinie mit biographischen Implikationen nach.
