Its rather absurd to identify a first-century homeless Jew as God revealed, but a bunch of us do anyway. In this book, Tripp Fuller examines the historical Jesus, the development of the doctrine of Christ, the questions that drove christological innovations through church history, contemporary constructive proposals, and the predicament of belief for the church today.
 Edward Cohn, "The High Title of a Communist: Postwar Party Discipline and the Values of the Soviet Regime" English | ISBN: 0875804896 | 2015 | 260 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Between 1945 and 1964, six to seven million members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were investigated for misconduct by local party organizations and then reprimanded, demoted from full party membership, or expelled. Party leaders viewed these investigations as a form of moral education and used humiliating public hearings to discipline wrongdoers and send all Soviet citizens a message about how Communists should behave.
 Mark Wildish, "The Hieroglyphics of Horapollo Nilous: Hieroglyphic Semantics in Late Antiquity " English | ISBN: 0367594226 | 2020 | 174 pages | EPUB | 1421 KB The main aim of this book is to reconstruct a philosophical context for the Hieroglyphica of Horapollo, a late 5th century Greek study of hieroglyphic writing. In addition to reviewing and drawing on earlier approaches it explores the range of signs and meanings for which Horapollo is interested in giving explanations, whether there are characteristic types of explanations given, what conception of language in general and of hieroglyphic Egyptian in particular the explanations of the meanings of the glyphs presuppose, and what explicit indications there are of having been informed or influenced by philosophical theories of meaning, signs, and interpretation.

 Leonard Lewisohn, David Morgan, "The Heritage of Sufism: Late Classical Persianate Sufism (1501-1750), Volume 3" English | 1999 | ISBN: 1851681930 | 580 pages | PDF | 20.3 MB This comprehensive study is unique in its chronological breadth, intellectual diversity and historical scope and which demonstrates the central role played by Sufism in Persianate culture in Iran, Central Asia and India  The Hen Harrier's Year (Pelagic Monographs) by Ian Carter English | 11 Oct. 2022 | ISBN: 1784273856 | True EPUB/PDF | 180 pages | 24.6/20 MB Most British birds of prey have largely recovered from historical persecution, but the beleaguered Hen Harrier is still struggling and remains far less common than it should be. This is a particular shame, because it is one of our most inspiring raptors. Spectacular sky-dancing displays and balletic food passes from male to female brighten up the moors in summer. And in winter, communal roosts in the lowlands attract birders from far and wide to catch sight of this now-elusive species.  Thich Nhat Hanh, "The Heart of Buddha's Teaching" English | 2008 | pages: 252 | ISBN: 1409020541 | PDF | 1,8 mb In The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh brings his gift of clear and poetic expression to an explanation of the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Payh and other core Buddhist teachings. He makes these practices accesible to Buddhists and non Buddhists alike, showing us all how the very suffering that is holding us down can be the path to our liberation. He reveals how the heart of the Buddha lies within each of us, and entering it means to be present for ourselves, our suffering and our joys. To enter the heart of the Buddha means to touch the world of no-birth and no-death, the world where water and wave are one.  Frank A. Salamone, "The Hausa of Nigeria" English | 2009 | ISBN: 0761847243 | PDF | pages: 245 | 1.1 mb The Hausa of Nigeria is the culmination of thirty-nine years of anthropological thought and research and many field trips to Nigeria. It is an ethnographic reflection of intense field work in Yauri and the surrounding areas that border it, as well as many trips to archives, libraries, and interview sites. It is also the result of discussions with colleagues, especially Salamone's mentor, Charles Frantz, who directed Salamone to Nigeria and who has aided the author's many years of study of the Hausa over time. Frantz's work on ethnicity, as well as ethics in anthropology, has served to provide a standard for Salamone's own endeavors. This work looks at the notion of identity formation and its relationship to history, religion, warfare, gender, economics and various other dimensions of Hausa life, as well as minority group relationships and creolization.  Gary P Cox, "The Halt In The Mud: French Strategic Planning From Waterloo To Sedan" English | ISBN: 0367308231 | 2021 | 270 pages | EPUB | 871 KB Historians have traditionally seen Prussia as the creator of modern strategic planning. The members of the Great General Staff in the carmine-striped trousers have long received credit for perfecting "off the shelf' plans for any contingency. In contrast, the French have been depicted as effete martinets or feckless hussars, fearless in battle but utterly unconcerned with such arcane matters as national strategy. The French Army in the years following Waterloo has been depicted as an institution mired in reactionary politics, and the entire period of French military history from 1815 to 1870 has most often been seen as a "halt in the mud." But in this important new book, Gary Cox demonstrates that nineteenth-century French defense policy was much more dynamic and creative than has been previously supposed.
