Description:
Oxford University Press, 2004. 1st Paperback Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. New/No Jacket Issued. No illustrations. CONDITION: UNREAD 2004 Oxford Univ. trade paperback, first paperback edition, first printing. Tiny edge wear to cover edges- front cover. Interior clean & tight - perfect. CONTENT: No one can doubt that the Bible has exerted a tremendous influence on Western civilization since the dawn of Christianity. But few of us have considered the precise nature of that influence in particular historical contexts. In this book, David Kling traces the fascinating story of how specific biblical texts have at different times emerged to be the inspiration of movements that have changed the course of history. By examining eight such pivotal texts, Kling elucidates the ways in which sacred texts continue to shape our lives as well as our history. Among the passages he discusses are: * "Upon this rock I will build my church" (Matthew 16:18), which inspired the formation of the papacy and has served as… Read More

Description:
Viking Compass, 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. B&W Map. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2004 Viking Compass hardcover (black boards) and dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Problem: blank bookplate top loose end page - probably covering a bookstore stamp. Dust jacket has tiny (really!) edge wear. Interior clean & tight. B&W map of ancient world under Constantine and Julian. CONTENT: This book may generate heat as well as light, for it maintains that sectarian conflicts and religious wars are inevitable results of monotheism. If there is one god and one good, as monotheism claims, then differing religions must be devilish or evil. Polytheism, however, being essentially pluralistic, grants that god--or goddess--can take different forms; hence the deity worshiped by a neighbor could be as powerful as one's own. Not that polytheism has no blood on its hands; there have been persecutions led by polytheistic people. But most early… Read More

CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1997 Ballantine hardcover (black boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, first printing. B&W maps of Biblical sites. UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1997 Ballantine hardcover (black boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, first printing. B&W maps of Biblical sites. Light edge wear to DJ edges. CONTENT: Sex. Violence. Scandal. These are words we rarely associate with the sacred text of the Bible. Yet in this brilliant new book, Jonathan Kirsch shows that the Old Testament is filled with some of the most startling and explicit stories in all of Western literature. These tales of seduction and rape, voyeurism and exhibitionism, intermarriage and illegitimacy, assassination and murder have been suppressed by religious authorities throughout history precisely because they are so shocking. "You mean that's in the… Read More

Harcourt Brace, 1993. 1st American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. B&W art repros throughout. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1993 Harcourt Brace hardcover (decorated boards) & dust jacket, first American edition, first printing. Illustrated throughout with B&W art reproductions. Problem: gift inscription loose end page. CONTENT: Mary Magdalen has always been a predominant and fascinating figure for Christianity. But who was she really? The Gnostics hailed her as the companion of the Savior and the woman He loved most. Early Christian writers called her the Bride of Christ and the apostle to the apostles. But for centuries her most durable image has been that of a prostitute who repented and devoted her life to Jesus - an image that both shaped and to some extent reflected the Church's attitude toward women. Yet this figure does not appear in the New Testament. All that we know of the real Magdalen are the four facts noted in the Gospels: she was one of Christ's followers; she… Read More

Viking, 2007. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. No illustrations. CONDITION: NEW 2007 Viking hardcover (blue boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. No illustrations. CONTENT: When the Gospel of Judas was published by the National Geographic Society in April 2006, it received extraordinary media attention and was immediately heralded as a major biblical discovery that rocked the world of scholars and laypeople alike. Elaine Pagels and Karen King are the first to reflect on this newfound text and its ramifications for telling the story of early Christianity. In Reading Judas, the two celebrated scholars illustrate how the newly discovered text provides a window onto understanding how Jesus followers understood his death, why Judas betrayed Jesus, and why God allowed it. This accessible, engaging book has Princeton religion professor Pagels in a dream team pairing with King, who teaches ecclesiastical history at Harvard Divinity School. Together they take on the… Read More
