Alternative Lives of Jesus: Noncanonical Accounts Through the Early Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780786415816 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is a body of religious literature, most of which was written centuries after the New Testament, that attempts to provide supplemental or alternative accounts of the life of Jesus Christ. The most exhaustive alternatives to the New Testament come from orthodox circles, and are often imaginings that try to fill holes in the canonical gospel accounts of Jesus' life. This work investigates the origins and nature of noncanonical accounts, both orthodox and heretical, and analyzes representative samples. For the infancy and childhood of Jesus, the author uses as a framework five major...

Shapers of Early Christianity: 52 Biographies, A.D. 100-400
ISBN: 9780786469420 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 100 A.D., Christianity was practiced only by a small, oppressed minority. Three hundred years later, these facts had changed dramatically, and Christianity had gone beyond simple approval and acceptance to become one of the world's major religions. But this change did not happen easily. The imperial government of Rome, intellectual tradition and battles within the church itself influenced the transformation. Every viewpoint had its champions and opponents, some of whom had a decisive influence on what shape the church would take. Whether they were "defenders of the faith" or those whom...

Messiahs and Messianic Movements Through 1899
ISBN: 9780786423118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A messiah is an individual appointed by God to a specific task of importance, and elevated to a level of far greater authority than a prophet by leading (or claiming to lead) a group or movement. The movement comes to be uniquely centered on his or her teachings, and the messiah claims spiritual and temporal authority over its followers. This book is an examination of both males and females in the Judeo-Christian heritage (excluding Jesus of Nazareth) who either claimed to be the messiah, were viewed by contemporaries as such, or are considered by a significant number of scholars to have been...

ISBN: 9780786411368 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Even though the United States was still officially at peace prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it was secretly devising a chain of intelligence-sharing alliances with future allies in the impending war in the Pacific. This work is divided into four sections, which bring together bits and pieces of often isolated details about the intelligence alliance, allowing readers to gain a sense of how it came to exist, how it functioned and what were its limitations, often severe. Section One discusses the efforts of the Washington, Hawaii and Philippines units in breaking all cryptographic...

No Choice But War: The United States Embargo Against Japan and the Eruption of War in the Pacific
ISBN: 9780786477524 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In July 1941 the United States, after a decade of worsening economic relations, announced a total embargo against Japan. The embargo had actually begun in 1940 with a so-called moral embargo under which U.S. exports of planes and war material to Japan were barred. In early 1941 Washington squeezed the Tokyo government further by unofficially tightening exports of petroleum. By December 1941, over 90 percent of Japan's oil supply was cut off, as was nearly 70 percent of its overall trade. From contemporary source documents, this is a detailed look at the U.S.-led embargo and how it contributed...

Congress Declares War: December 8-11, 1941
ISBN: 9780786418046 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The dramatic events of the Pearl Harbor attack have been covered in detail from a wide variety of approaches. What came next-the American declaration of war, the intervention of Germany and Italy and the U.S. proclaiming war against them as well-has been given considerably less attention. This detailed volume fills that gap with careful analysis of how the public and Congress reacted to the attack and how it began to modify their past attitudes toward foreign war. Excerpts from the Congressional Record of 1941 support the author's discussion of the debates leading to the decision to declare...
