Slight shelf wear to corners of D/J. Who were the Israelites? Many people's image of them is shaped by the Bible, and in this way ancient Israel seems far more familiar to a wider public than most other nations of antiquity. But what do we actually know about the lives and beliefs of the Israelites? Why was Israel so influential, even though its territory was small - rich in neither agricultural land nor natural resources? Was there really a single entity, consisting in Israel in the north and Judah in the south, united under David? And how far does the story told by the Bible match the historical and archaeological record? Dr Isserlin combines the latest biblical research with archaeological and epigraphic evidence to answer these and other questions. Meticulously researched, this detailed and informative study will… Read More

Great Britain: Privately Printed. Paperback. Message to previous owner to inside cover says 'Margaret Allen With the Author's Compliments'. Slight wear to cover and spine. When God first created man, He gave him authority over every living thing on earth (Gen. 1:28) - he was superior to every other creature and virtually governor of the planet, but another claimed that sovereignty and, in direct challenge to the Almight, sought to frustrate His purposes by effecting the ruin of this new creature. The story is a fascinating - even if somewhat frightening - one. Its details and implications are disclosed only in the Word of God. Dr. Miller is a scientist and, in this remarkable survey of the past and of its relationship to the future, he brings a logical mind to bear upon the progressive disclosure of the Divine purpose. God's plans are irrevocably linked with man's ultimate blessing, and the author shows how those plans are gradually being put into effect, precisely as predicted.… Read More

Great Britain: Cambridge University Press. Hardback. Slight foxing to end inside covers and edge. Price clipped. Slight shelf wear and tiny tear to edge of D/J. Dr. Rosenthal's new book describes the contemporary spiritual and intellectual crisis of Islam. The unity of religion and politics, essential in classical Islam, has larggely disappeared. There has been no counterpart in Islam of the Reformation in the West; and so, in the absence of radical reform, a vulnerable religious and political system has capitulated step by step to a secular nationalism, which in turn has grown out of resentment of foreign influence and domination. The result is a very confused situation, close analysis of which is essential to an understanding of the place of Islam in the modern national state. The author bases part of his book on the available source material; but the greater part derives from personal observation during long visits to Pakistan, India, Malaya, Iran, Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco. 416 pp. ( We… Read More
