| For the past eight years, Jack Finegan's Myth and Mystery has furnished scholars and students with invaluable insights into the world of the Bible. This standard treatment is now more affordable, thanks to a new paperback edition.Culling the primary sources, Finegan examines nine pagan religions in existence during both the Old and New Testament times. Among them are Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Canaanite, Greek, Roman, and Gnostic religions. He carefully documents not only their beliefs, practices, writings, and history, but also their relation to the biblical world.The ancient religions explored by the author "rest upon theological and mythological ways of thought which, to a greater or lesser degree, they all share, writes Finegan. In their individual configuration, they are very distinct although in various places and times borrowings, equivalences, and syncretisms will be observed.According to Robert Hodgson in Critical Review of Books in Religion, Few scholars today have the expertise or confidence to write about all the major non-biblical religions of the ancient world. Jack Finegan is one of the few who does, and he has earned our thanks for a fine introduction to this subject. Myth and Mystery is a solid textbook for both graduate and undergraduate students, a handy reference tool for teachers, and interesting reading for informed laity. |

| A compelling challenge to the idea that America is-or ever was-a "Christian nation" Jesus came to establish a kingdom that is "not of this world." Kingdoms of the world seek to acquire and exercise power over others, whereas Jesus incarnated and demonstrated a kingdom that advances by exercising power under people. Author Gregory Boyd makes a compelling case that whenever the church gets too close to any political or national ideology, it is disastrous for the church and harmful to society. The American Evangelical Church has allowed itself to be co-opted by the political right (and some by the political left). Boyd exposes how this alignment undermines the church's unique calling and greatly compromises the kingdom of God, not only in America but throughout the world. |

| Rabbi David G. Dalin's controversial book, The Myth of Hitler's Pope , explodes the newly resurrected, widely accepted, yet utterly bankrupt smearing of Pope Pius XII, who was, in fact, to the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, “a righteous gentile.� With devastating scholarship and unblinking honesty, Rabbi David G. Dalin sets the record straight in a book that should shame haters of the Pope, inspire Christians, and sound a warning about the deep roots of Islamofascism. In The Myth of Hitler's Pope, Dalin tells how the myth began, and why Jewish survivors of the Holocaust praised the Pope. ' Rabbi David G. Dalin is a professor at Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida, a frequent speaker on Jewish and Catholic topics, and has written widely on Pope Pius XII, including in The Weekly Standard . |

| Most people think there is a separation of church and state. They are wrong. Most people think it's in the constitution. It isn't. Even a precursory glance at the first amendment easily shows it was meant to protect freedom of religion, not to protect government from religion. Within these pages you will see the myth debunked from voices of the past. The lives, writings, and interaction of our Founding Fathers clearly demonstrates that they were proud to stand on Christian values and had no intentions of separating their everyday or political lives from their religion. You be the judge. |

| Many women have been lured into trying to live out a mythical version of biblical submission. They appear authentic on the outside, but on the inside they're chained by misperceptions of the truth that skew their priorities and cause them to doubt themselves. The Myth of the Submissive Christian Woman is about living a life surrendered to Jesus by embracing God's gifts, offering them back to him, and passing them on to others. This book is about living truthfully and freely the abundant life Jesus has promised us as Christians.The Myth of the Submissive Christian Woman Walking with God without Being Stepped On by Others God didn't call you to be a doormat! Yes, Scripture calls us to die to self-self-absorption, self-centeredness, self- righteousness, and self-indulgence-but nowhere does Scripture tell us to abandon all of the wonderful God-given gifts and talents that make us who we are. In The Myth of the Submissive Christian Woman, author Brenda Waggoner dispels the myth that biblical submission requires that women reject who they are and become passive in their relationships with God and others. Along the way, the author shatters the misconception that good manners, niceness, and passivity equal godliness and reveals that true biblical submission does not mean submitting to everyone else's wants, needs, and opinions while ignoring your own. Instead, it means living truthfully by putting God first, submitting yourself to his will, and living your life according to what he desires. |

| David Currie was raised in a devout Christian family whose father was a fundamentalist preacher and both parents teachers at Moody Bible Institute. Currie's whole upbringing was immersed in the life of fundamentalist Protestantism - theology professors, seminary presidents and founders of evangelical mission agencies were frequent guests at his family dinner table. Currie received a degree from Trinity International University and studied in the Masters of Divinity program. ' This book was written as an explanation to his fundamentalist and evangelical friends and family about why he became a Roman Catholic. Currie presents a very lucid, systematic and intelligible account of the reasons for his conversion to the ancient Church that Christ founded. He gives a detailed discussion of the important theological and doctrinal beliefs Catholic and evangelicals hold in common, as well as the key doctrines that separate us, particularly the Eucharist, the Pope, and Mary. '' "David Currie has written what may turn out to be the work on this nettlesome topic of Evangelicals being received into the Catholic Church. With great charity and lucidity, he pursues every conceivable topic - biblical, ecclesiological, theological, and historical - that arises in the discussions on this matter." '' -Thomas Howard , Author, Evangelical is Not Enough '' "Currie has given us a work which is eminently intelligible, readable and personal. This book makes an especially happy marriage of the 'head' and the 'heart' in explaining the when, the why and the how of his pilgrimage. It should serve as a paradigm for the movement of 'Everyman' toward God and the Church His divine Son founded." '' -Rev. Peter M.J. Stravinskas , Editor, The Catholic Answer '' "Currie's book is a must read. Seldom is something so deep explained so clearly as Currie does in this wonderful work. Get it and get a copy for a friend." '' - Scott Hahn , Author, Rome Sweet Home '' |
