1799 AMERICAN Bible Preaching 1st ed Jesus Prophecy Americana Benjamin Trumbull Benjamin Trumbull was an 18th-century American historian who was known for his sermons and theological treatises. While serving as a preacher in North Haven, Connecticut, Trumbull published a series of discourses on scriptures. “Twelve Discourses” was written to provide context and commentary on specific Bible passages. Trumbull covers passages from Proverbs, the validity of the Pentateuch, the authenticity of New Testament passages, truths found in Jeremiah, and proofs of New Testament miracles. Perhaps the most interesting is Discourse VII in which Trumbull speaks on the fulfillment of prophecies and the accomplishment of Jesus’s predictions.

The interior is fresh, crisp, and completely clean, despite pale toning to the endpapers.

[Please see my five images of the actual book.] ""The best in the people works for long obscure ages in hints and whispers till it finds its true voice, which can never again be silenced. . . . It works across intervals of silence and oblivion, depression and defeat, and comes out again and again with its conquering call---a call to the fighter against untruth---against all that lures away the spirit from its high mission of freedom into the meshes of materialism.""

Select Discourses: Treating 1. Of the True Way or Method of Attaining to Divine Knowledge. 2. Of Superstition. 3. Of Atheism. [and others] John Smith
785.18 CAD
Select Discourses by John Smith, printed in London in 1660 by J. Flesher for W. Morden, is a significant philosophical and theological text from the Cambridge Platonist tradition. Smith emphasized religion as an inward and spiritual practice, distancing it from both sectarian rigidity and skeptical denial. His discourses address superstition, atheism, prophecy, vanity, immortality of the soul, and divine providence, offering a picture of religious thought in mid-seventeenth-century England. This first edition is particularly valued for its role in shaping the intellectual climate of the period and for its status as the earliest printing of Smith’s collected discourses. Condition: Very Good. Leather spine and corners remain strong and intact, boards show rubbing and fading, binding tight, text block secure with expected age toning.

[Signed] Divine Guidance: Lessons for Todfay from the World of Early Christianity [SIGNED FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING] Jillions, John A. [As New] [
130.18 CAD
As new condition black boards with silver spine lettering contained in an as new condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication and Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Introduction: Divine Guidance in the First and 21st Centuries; Notes; Bibliography and Index. Signed, inscribed, and dated (3/8/20) by the author with thin black ink on the blank first free front endpaper. ""The twenty-first century opened with the religiously inspired attacks of 9/11 and in the years since such attacks have become all too common. Over against the minority who carry out violence at God's direction, however, there are millions of believers around the world who live lives of anonymous kindness. They also see their actions as guided by the divine. How is divine guidance to be understood against the background of such diametrically opposed results? How to make sense of both Osama bin Laden and Mother Teresa? In order to answer this question, John A. Jillions turns to the first-century world of Corinth, where Jews, Gentiles, and early Christians intermixed and vigorously debated the question of divine guidance. In this ancient melting pot, the ideas of writers and poets, philosophers, rabbis, prophets, and the apostle Paul confronted and complemented each other. These writers reveal a culture that reflected deeply upon the realities, ambiguities, and snares posed by questions of divine guidance. Jillions draws these insights together to offer an outline for the twenty-first century and suggest criteria for how to assess perceived divine guidance. This book opens a long-closed window in the history of ideas in order to shed valuable light on this timeless question."" - from the inner front jacket flap. ""By a comprehensive historical survey of literary and religious evidence from Greco-Roman and Jewish cultures, Fr. Jillions offers a brilliant analysis of Paul's letter to the Corinthians. Philosophical reflections about grace and free will, faith and reason, inspired scriptue, and personal experience, encounter the cross. This book reflects that of all theological doctrines, the most challenging may be providence: does God sit idle in heaven, or does He exercise divine guidance in our lives?"" - David W. Fagerberg, Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame. ""John Jillions has written a book that is a splendid work of scholarship, and on a fascinating (if neglected) topic. But it is ever so much more than that: a rich, searching, moving meditation on some of the most essential dimensions of spiritual longing and religious hope."" - David Bentley Hart, author. ""This is a work of original scholarship that breaks new ground. It is of interest to specialists in the field of New Testament studies and early church history, but it is written in such a way that it will also appeal to a wider field, including theology students in general, and clergy and laity who are not necessary academics. I predict it will become the standard treatment of the subject.""...

A religious rite which was performed in the presence of the people. The dead body was cut to pieces and the fragments distributed for burial in different parts of the kingdom. the body which had once been inhabited by the creative power of God, was still so instinct with life that it would ensure fertility in all places where even a small part of it was buried Margaret Alice Murray (1863-1963) was the first woman to be appointed as a lecturer of archaeology in Britain, working at UCL from 1898-1935. Murray was Born in India and travelled extensively in her youth working as a nurse and social worker. At the turn of the century, she took part in a series of excavations in Egypt and led the unwrapping of Khnum-Nakht in 1908, becoming the first woman to publicly unwrap a mummy. Murray played an active role in the first-wave feminist movement, joining the Women's Social and Political Union and attending marches. After the beginning of the First World War, she started to focus on her research of the witch-cult hypothesis. The Divine King in England is one of her later works.
