Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did Paul mean by identifying himself as "apostle to the nations"? Davina C. Lopez finds the surprising answer in the way the Roman Empire depicted the relationship between conquering and conquered peoples in myths, inscriptions, and especially in the visual repertoire of statues and reliefs found in every Roman city. While Roman power was represented as aggressive and masculine, conquered peoples were systematically represented by images of helpless women. Lopez uses this key to unlock the themes of Paul's apostleship in a gender-critical "re-imagination" of his mission. Tracing themes of conquest and domination throughout sources contemporary with Paul, Lopez shows that Paul's language of "the nations" would have been heard by his contemporaries as confronting the Roman ideology of power and expressing solidarity with defeated peoples. Apostle to the Conquered reveals the subversive heart of Paul's theology, reframing his "conversion" in terms of "consciousness", and his exhortations as a politics of the new creation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elliott offers a fresh and surprising reinterpretation of Paul's letter to the Romans in the context of Roman imperial ideology, bringing to the text the latest insights from classical studies, rhetorical criticism, postcolonial criticism, and people's history. By setting the letter alongside Roman texts (Cicero, Virgil, the Res Gestae of Augustus, Seneca, poets from the age of Nero, as well as later historians and satirists), Elliott provides a dramatic new reading of the letter as Paul's confrontation with the arrogance of empire—and an emerging Christianity already tempted by the seductive ideology of imperial power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apostle of Liberty: The World-Changing Leadership of George Washington' is a biography of the great man, but in truth it is more than a mere biography. It also looks at his unique personal qualities as a leader and how these qualities marked him as a leader among leaders. In doing so, it reveals a man whose greatness did not stem from oratorical skills, superior knowledge, or brilliant military tactics, but from virtue. He understood his duty and his proper role in the fledgling nation, and he pursued it with an invincible resolution. Largely, this was due to his belief that God in his providence had chosen him to lead the new nation that was founded on liberty'civil, religious, and economic'and that the experiment that began under his leadership as president of the Constitutional Convention and was successful under his leadership in battle would prosper under his leadership and change the world if given the opportunity to succeed.

Book excerpt: Seven incarnations of the Godhead make up an incarnational round that began in the 1st century BC. We are today at the seventh round personality. Cleopatra of Alexandria, the Last Egyptian pharaoh, was the first personality of the seven in this incarnational age. The historical written record of this early time is incomplete and unreliable. Historians with great effort effect to sort what is fact from myth, but the truth may be lost and long forgotten. A second source of knowledge can be tapped from the inner world, and missing key pieces of the puzzle accessed. "The Incarnation" effects to do this, with astonishing result. Spanning a timeline from the 1st century BC to 625 AD and beyond, in the genre of a novel based on a true story, the truth of the Creator Godhead is told. The first century Western canon begins with a budding new empire, Rome, arising to be the dominant civilization in a world of war and chaos. The Jewish holy city of Jerusalem has been conquered and is under Rome's control. The Godhead's first personality, Cleopatra, tells her story and the story of Jesus, Apostle Paul, and of a struggle that culminates with the new Emperor Constantine and a new Roman era of Christianity, in her own words. It is quite different from the myths of recorded history, and sets the stage for a surprising and rewarding return of the Godhead's seventh round personality. The Jane Roberts Seth Material written in the last quarter of the twentieth century is of an internal source and corrects the record of the Crucifixion, a true event embedded in myth. Two crucifixions are in play, a physical one in 33 AD and a second "psychic" crucifixion happening nearly 300 years later. It is the later event that etches the name Jesus and salvation message deeply in the minds of the people of the West. Internally tapping Seth and this author's incarnational inner sources, a new and different story of Jesus emerges from a lost history, far grander and philosophically deep. The Apostle Paul plays the major role of documenting the events unfolding after the AD 33 Crucifixion, the New Testament Bible containing Paul's 14 letters making up more than half of the canon's 27 books. Historians doubt authenticity of many of these books, yet Paul's letters, particular 6 which nearly all historians agree are legitimately penned by Paul. The 14 letters, all authenticated as genuine by this author's inner sources, become this novel's primary focus, historically sandwiched between the first crucifixion and second psychic crucifixion events, and proving through documentation of the actual New Testament letters of Paul this far greater developed Jesus story. For demonstrating legitimacy and accuracy, I have, through inner sources, provided general time, place, and purpose, for each of Paul's letters and for all of the 27 books making up the NT Bible. Paul's traveling companion Luke recorded Paul's journey in the NT book "Acts of the Apostles", and I reference the numbered passages in the novel's stories of Paul's journeys. Italics are used wherever paragraphs and sentences are quoted from actual Biblical dialog, as are Paul's letters italicized and indented. The second crucifixion, the key but little known event in the whole Jesus narrative, happens early in the fourth century AD and is in the Catholic Church record of their saints. Here, fact is separated from myth, the full astonishing event told by the central actor in the narrative, herself. The full story of Jesus of Nazareth and the evolution of the Christian Church will be unfolding on the scene of the modern-day world as the seventh incarnation of the Godhead arrives and brings mankind into the fold of the higher teachings and a new world relationship of peace and prosperity right here in front of us all.
