The Last Empress: Madame Chiang Kai-shek and the Birth of Modern China
By Hannah Pakula. 2009
With the beautiful, powerful, and sexy Madame Chiang Kai-shek at the center of one of the great dramas of the…
twentieth century, this is the story of the founding of modern China, starting with a revolution that swept away more than 2,000 years of monarchy, followed by World War II, and ending in the eventual loss to the Communists and exile in Taiwan. An epic historical tapestry, this wonderfully wrought narrative brings to life what Americans should know about China -- the superpower we are inextricably linked with -- the way its people think and their code of behavior, both vastly different from our own. The story revolves around this fascinating woman and her family: her father, a peasant who raised himself into Shanghai society and sent his daughters to college in America in a day when Chinese women were kept purposefully uneducated; her mother, an unlikely Methodist from the Mandarin class; her husband, a military leader and dogmatic warlord; her sisters, one married to Sun Yat-sen, the George Washington of China, the other to a seventy-fifth lineal descendant of Confucius; and her older brother, a financial genius. This was the Soong family, which, along with their partners in marriage, was largely responsible for dragging China into the twentieth century. Brilliantly narrated, this fierce and bloody drama also includes U. S. Army General Joseph Stilwell; Claire Chennault, head of the Flying Tigers; Communist leaders Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai; murderous warlords; journalists Henry Luce, Theodore White, and Edgar Snow; and the unfortunate State Department officials who would be purged for predicting (correctly) the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War. As the representative of an Eastern ally in the West, Madame Chiang was befriended -- before being rejected -- by the Roosevelts, stayed in the White House for long periods during World War II, and charmed the U. S. Congress into giving China billions of dollars. Although she was dubbed the Dragon Lady in some quarters, she was an icon to her people and is certainly one of the most remarkable women of the twentieth century.Paul's Three Paths to Salvation
By Gabriele Boccaccini. 2020
&“We no longer need to separate Paul from Judaism in order to claim his Christianness,&” writes Gabriele Boccaccini, adding, &“nor…
do we need to separate him from the early Jesus movement in order to state his Jewishness.&” With this guiding principle Boccaccini unpacks the implications of Paul&’s &“belonging&” simultaneously to Judaism and Christianity to arrive at the surprising and provocative conclusion that there are in fact three means of salvation: For Jews, adherence to Torah.For gentiles, good works according to conscience and natural law.For all sinners, forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ.Paul&’s Three Paths to Salvation is an attempt to reconcile the many facets of Paul&’s complex identity while reclaiming him from accusations of intolerance, and Boccaccini&’s work in reestablishing the figure of Paul as a messenger of God&’s Mercy to the sinners is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about Paul&’s place in the contemporary pluralistic world.Believer's Baptism

By Andrew Lownie. 2022
Drawing upon newly released archives, bestselling biographer Andrew Lownie tells the story of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's glittering lives…
after Edward abdicated the throne—a world that was riddled with treachery and betrayal.11 December 1936. The King of England, Edward VIII, has given up his crown, foregoing his duty for the love of Wallis Simpson, an American divorcée. Their courtship has been dogged by controversy and scandal, but with Edward's abdication, they can live happily ever after. But do they? Beginning this astonishing dual biography at the moment that most biographers turn away, bestselling historian Andrew Lownie reveals the dramatic lives of the Windsors post-abdication. This is a story of a royal shut out by his family and forced into exile; of the Nazi attempts to recruit the duke to their cause; and of why the duke, as Governor of the Bahamas, tried to shut down the investigation into the murder of a close friend. It is a story of a couple obsessed with their status, financially exploiting their position, all the while manipulating the media to portray themselves as victims. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were, in their day, the most glamorous exiles in the world, flitting from sumptuously appointed mansions in the south of France to luxurious residences in Palm Beach. But they were spoiled, selfish people, obsessed with their image, and revelling in adulterous affairs. Drawing upon previously unexplored archives, Lownie shows in dramatic fashion how their glittering world was riddled with treachery and betrayal—and why the royal family never forgave the duke for choosing love over dutyThe Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak: Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families
By Shannon Bream. 2022
God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all…
the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family—and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.A Guided Tour of One of the Greatest Theological Works of the Twentieth CenturyKarl Barth's Church Dogmatics is considered by…

By Catherine Curzon. 2021
When George I arrived in England he found a kingdom in turmoil. Mistrustful of the new monarch from Hanover, his…
subjects met his coronation with riots. At George’s side was his mistress, Melusine von der Schulenberg, whilst his ex-wife languished in prison. Known as the Maypole thanks to her eye-catching figure, Melusine was the king’s confidante for decades. She was a mother to his children and a queen without a crown. George II never forgave his father for tearing him from his mother's arms and he was determined to marry for love, not duty. Though his wife, Caroline of Ansbach, proved to be a politically gifted queen, George II turned to another for affection. She was Henrietta Howard, the impoverished Countess of Suffolk, and she was desperate to escape her brutish husband. As the years passed, the royal affair became a powerplay between king and queen and the woman who was mistress to one and servant to another. Melusine and Henrietta's privileged position made them the envy of every courtier. It also made them a target of jealousy, plotting and ambition. In the tumultuous Georgian court, the bedroom and the throne room weren't so far apart.Crazy Faith Study Guide plus Streaming Video: It’s Only Crazy Until It Happens

In 1254 the teenage heir to the English throne married a Spanish bride, the sister of the king of Castile,…

The women's stories span the decades from the 1260s to the 1330s, through the long reign of their father, the turbulent reign of their brother Edward II, and into the reign of their nephew, the child-king Edward III.Talks to Farmers: Reflections on Spiritual Growth

By Walter Bruggemann. 1998
Jeremiah's poignant lament over Judah's social and religious disintegration reflects God's own pathos-laden yearning for his disobedient covenant people. In…
this widely praised expository commentary Walter Brueggemann, one of the premier Old Testament scholars of our time, explores the historical setting and message of Jeremiah as well as the text's relevance for the church today.Offering a fresh look at the critical theological issues in the Jeremiah tradition, Brueggemann argues that Jeremiah's voice compels us to rediscern our own situation, issuing an urgent invitation to faith, obedience, justice, and compassion.This combined edition of Brueggemann's original two-volume work, published until recently as part of the International Theological Commentary series, is an essential resource for students, pastors, and general readers alike.

By Steven L. McKenzie. 2010
The author here surveys the historical books of the Old Testament—Joshua through Ezra-Nehemiah—for their historical context, contents, form, and themes,…
communicating them clearly and succinctly for an introductory audience. By providing a better understanding of biblical history writing in its ancient context, the author helps readers come to terms with tensions between the Bible’s account and modern historical analyses. Rather than denying the results of historical research or dismissing its practitioners as wrongly motivated, he suggests that the source of the perceived discrepancy may lie not with the Bible but with the way in which it has been read. He also calls into question whether the genre of the Bible’s historical books has been properly understood.The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets: Imagining the Minor Prophets' World
By Dr John Goldingay. 2022
Understand the Prophets Like Never Before with Amazing Insights from One of Today's Foremost Old Testament ScholarsFor many Christians reading…
the Old Testament, trying to understand Israel's prophets is like listening to just one side of a phone conversation--you only get half the idea of it. You hear the answer, but how do you know what question the prophet is answering?In The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets, John Goldingay uncovers the questions behind the prophets' answers that make their meaning and relevance intelligible to us. Written as a series of imaginary letters to the twelve Minor Prophets, The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets asks the kinds of questions that Hosea, Micah, Zechariah, and others were answering. The letters make clear the issues these prophets of Israel were dealing with or deliver the news they were responding to in their Old Testament writings. For example,To Hosea: Why did you marry someone you knew might be unfaithful?To Joel: It looks as if a locust epidemic is on the way: what should we do?To Amos: What should we do about the war crimes of peoples around us?To Obadiah: The Edomites have occupied our land and pushed us out: what's up with that?To Jonah: When is God going to fulfill his undertaking to destroy Nineveh?To Micah: Will God always be angry with us as a people?To Nahum: When is God going to fulfill his undertaking to destroy Nineveh?To Habakkuk: When is God going to do something about injustice in Judah?To Zephaniah: What do you mean by "the day of the Lord"?To Haggai: When is God going to fulfill his promises about rebuilding the temple?To Zechariah: Should Jeshua be High Priest when he has been in an unclean land?To Malachi: Why does serving God seem pointless?These and other questions help readers peer behind the veil of Minor Prophets' utterances and unlock their significance for today's Christians. Each chapter:begins with a brief paragraph of background about the prophetrecounts questions or reports that have been addressed to the prophet in the form of a lettersums up message of the prophet responding to that questionoffers a brief comment or explanation after each passageThe Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets offers an imaginative, fun, and engaging way for students, pastors, and all serious Bible readers get a better grip on what is happening in these often misunderstood biblical books and get more out of their Bible reading and study.NASB, MacArthur Daily Bible, 2nd Edition, Comfort Print

By Jurgen Moltmann, James W. Leitch. 1967
The following efforts bear the title Theology of Hope, not because they set out once again to present eschatology as…
a separate doctrine and to compete with the well known textbooks. Rather, their aim is to show how theology can set out from hope and begin to consider its theme in an eschatological light. For this reason they inquire into the ground of the hope of Christian faith and into the responsible exercise of this hope in thought and action in the world today. The various critical discussions should not be understood as rejections and condemnations. They are necessary conversations on a common subject which is so rich that it demands continual new approaches.Handbook to Biblical Hebrew: An Introductory Grammar
