Mit der ideologisch als Pax Romana deklarierten und abgesicherten Weltherrschaft der Römer gerieten immer wieder Individuen, aber auch Gruppen in Konflikt, die im Namen ihrer eigenen religiösen und/oder politischen Vorstellungen ein "Königtum Gottes" verkÃ"ndigten. Diese von den politischen Eliten als Störenfriede eingestuften Gruppen hielten sich nicht an die von Rom diktierten Spielregeln und provozierten durch ihre Aktivitäten und Programme die römischen Machthaber. Riedo-Emmenegger richtet seine Aufmerksamkeit auf Störenfriede wie Jesus von Nazaret und andere prophetisch-messianischen Provokateure und erhellt bisher unbekannte HintergrÃ"nde.

The Watchman provides critical, biblical tools for anyone serious about prophetic intercession. This book is meat for believers – not milk – equipping Christians with essential intercessory knowledge that for far too long has not been taught in our churches, Bible schools and seminaries. As the darkness of this world has encroached into our neighborhoods, many intercessors are realizing we need more weapons in order to effectively put on the whole armor of God and withstand this onslaught. Christ alone is able to deliver us through the warriors He is raising up. The revelations in this book will enable us to boldly stand with our Lord Jesus in the gates of His Kingdom as watchmen, prophetically interceding with His eyes to see, His ears to hear and His mouth to speak what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

In her award-winning debut collection, Emily W. Pease is at work redefining the short story. Let Me Out Here explores the underbellies and strange desires of our neighbors, our loved ones, ourselves. A co-ed takes up/leaves school with a mysterious cab driver who’s been calling every night on her dormitory’s hall phone; a family isolated by their faith hikes to a waterfall in search of healing; a mother sets her balcony on fire after an awkward family dinner; a woman befriends the snakes her preacher boyfriend keeps in their shed. This revealing collection offers a deep empathy for people doing the best they can, despite themselves. Spread over varied landscapes of the South and offering surprising moments of raw revelation, the characters here find themselves at crossroads or alone on an empty street at night. With Let Me Out Here, Pease joins the ranks of Mary Gaitskill, Ottessa Moshfegh, and Kelly Link, and adds to their tradition a deft, singular style and a voice as darkly funny as it is exacting. Let Me Out Here is the 2018 winner of the C. Michael Curtis Short Story Book Prize.

This book casts light on a much neglected phase of the UNESCO world heritage site of Palmyra, namely the period between the fall of the Palmyrene ‘Empire’ (AD 272) and the end of the Umayyad dominion (AD 750).The goal of the book is to fill a substantial hole in modern scholarship - the late antique and early Islamic history of the city still has to be written.In late antiquity Palmyra remained a thriving provincial city whose existence was assured by its newly acquired role of stronghold along the eastern frontier. Palmyra maintained a prominent religious role as one of the earliest bishoprics in central Syria and in early Islam as the political centre of the powerful Banu Kalb tribe.Post-Roman Palmyra, city and setting, provide the focus of this book. Analysis and publication of evidence for post-Roman housing enables a study of the city’s urban life, including the private residential buildings in the sanctuary of Ba’alshamin. A systematic survey is presented of the archaeological and literary evidence for the religious life of the city in Late Antiquity and Early Islam. The city’s defences provide another focus. After a discussion of the garrison quartered in Palmyra, Diocletian’s military fortress and the city walls are investigated, with photographic and archaeological evidence used to discuss chronology and building techniques. The book concludes with a synthetic account of archaeological and written material, providing a comprehensive history of the settlement from its origins to the fall of Marwan II in 750 AD.

He also outlines tangible benefits to sustainable teaching, from a reduction in burnout to an increase in student engagement with learning.Whether you're a teacher, coach, or administrator, Make Teaching Sustainable will inspire you to embark on a practicable, action-oriented path to sustainability, ensuring that you can continue to be nurtured, supported, and effective in the profession that you love.

Intestine Enemies: Catholics in Protestant America, 1605—1791, is a documentary survey of the experience of Roman Catholics in the British Atlantic world from Maryland to Barbados and Nova Scotia to Jamaica over the course of the two centuries that spanned colonization to independence. It covers the first faltering efforts of the British Catholic community to establish colonies in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries; to their presence in the proprietary and royal colonies of the seventeenth century where policies of formal or practical toleration allowed Catholics some freedom for civic or religious participation; to their marginalization throughout the British Empire by the political revolution of 1688; to their transformation from aliens to citizens through their disproportionate contribution to the wars in the latter half of that century as a consequence of which half of the colonies of Britain’s American Empire gained their independence. The volume organizes representative documents from a wide array of public and private records—broadsides, newspapers, and legislative acts to correspondence, diaries, and reports—into topical chapters bridged by contextualized introductions. It affords students and readers in general the opportunity to have first-hand access to history. It serves also as a complement to Papist Devils: Catholics in British America, 1574– 1783 (The Catholic University of America Press, 2014), a narrative history of the same topic.
