Sinossi

Against the Christians: Arguments of Celsus, Porphyry and the Emperor Julian is a masterful anthology that captures the intellectual vigor and poignant contestations of early Christian thought in antiquity. The collection is a testament to the profound critiques penned by some of the sharpest minds of the classical era against the nascent Christian faith. Spanning a diverse array of literary styles, from philosophical treatises to historical narratives, the anthology brings to light the multifaceted opposition that early Christians faced. Standout pieces within the collection challenge religious doctrines with rigorous argumentation, offering invaluable insights into the religious and philosophical dialogues of the time. The anthology is curated skilfully to reflect the rich backgrounds of its contributors, renowned figures such as Celsus, Porphyry, and Emperor Julian. These influential philosophers and scholars, alongside others like Thomas Taylor and Tacitus, provide a profound exploration of the intellectual milieu that engaged with and resisted the spread of Christianity. These authors, some linked to significant cultural and philosophical movements like Neoplatonism, offer diverse critiques that collectively enrich the discourse surrounding early Christian and pagan interactions, illustrating the complexity of this historical transition. This collection is indispensable for those seeking to comprehend the complexities of early Christian opposition. It presents an unparalleled opportunity to navigate through a multiplicity of perspectives, ranging from philosophical discourses to incisive historical commentary, making it both educational and insightful. Readers will find in these pages not just arguments against Christianity, but a rich tapestry of intellectual engagement that fosters dialogue across centuries. A compelling addition to any academic or personal library, this anthology invites deep reflection and understanding of an era that shaped much of Western thought today.

    This audiobook delves into the enigmatic world of the Illuminati and secret societies, unveiling their history and influence over global affairs. The Illuminati, real and fictional, are portrayed as elusive elites shaping our world. Their origin dates back to the late 1700s with the Bavarian Illuminati, founded by Adam Weishaupt and guided by the enigmatic 'Father of Illumination'. Since then, numerous groups have claimed Illuminati status, their links to Weishaupt's vision uncertain. These legends have fostered a culture of secrecy and fear, intertwining conspiracies of unimaginable power with Illuminati symbolism. Celebrities, musicians, and politicians have been implicated in this narrative, but does the Illuminati truly wield world control? 
     
    This audiobook investigates the historical ties between the Illuminati and secret societies and their impact on global events. We delve into Weishaupt's legacy and explore potentially nefarious activities within these organisations. The audiobook scrutinizes whether these groups possess the power to dominate the world and, if so, contemplates potential countermeasures. 
     
    Join us on this illuminating journey as we plunge into the shadowy realm of the Illuminati and secret societies that exert influence over our world.

    From one of the leading grief therapists, this compassionate and accessible guide to grieving offers a new framework for understanding and navigating loss.An intimate guide to grieving that offers hope and healing within loss from one of the nation’s top grief therapists.    Conscious Grieving is a book for anyone seeking guidance and support after loss. Renowned grief therapist Claire Bidwell Smith combines her deeply personal experience of loss with her long career spent working with thousands of people to introduce a new approach to grief, one that promotes hope and even transformation.   What does it mean to grieve consciously? Most of the time, when we lose someone we love, it feels like grief is just happening to us. We feel out of control, and overwhelmed. Claire reminds us that while loss is something that inevitably happens to all of us, how we choose to grieve is up to us. When we can consciously engage with our grief, rather than avoiding it, we can access profound pathways to healing.  Presented in a series of thoughtful, brief vignettes that don’t overwhelm the reader, Conscious Grieving offers a new framework for each stage of grief: Entering, Engaging, Surrendering, and Transforming. Entering – staying present and taking care of ourselves as we navigate the shock and upheaval of a new loss.  Engaging – navigating that first year after a loss by staying in tune with our needs as more complicated feelings of depression, guilt or anger surface. Surrendering – facing the changes to our identity and who we are becoming in the face of loss. Transforming – through ritual, honor, hope, and grace, and learning to carry our grief with intention so that we can continue to grow, heal, and thrive.  Grief asks a lot from us. But the ability to grieve is a birthright. We grieve throughout our lifetimes. We grieve the deaths of loved ones yes, but also moves, divorce, illness, injustice, time lost, changes in the world and healing from these losses requires that we evaluate everything we ever considered meaningful. Healing means making our lives worth the pain we endure when we lose someone we love. And transforming through grief is an opportunity afforded to all.

    “Takes the reader into the Pacific war and offers a front-row seat to the exploits of the Wright Project and their highly innovative technology.” —War History Network 
     
    In August 1943, a highly classified US Army Air Force unit, code-named the “Wright Project,” departed Langley Field for Guadalcanal in the South Pacific to join the fight against the Empire of Japan. Operating independently, under sealed orders drafted at the highest levels of Army Air Force, the Wright Project was unique, both in terms of the war-fighting capabilities provided by classified systems the ten B-24 Liberators of this small group of airmen brought to the war, and in the success these “crash-built” technologies allowed. The Wright airmen would fly only at night, usually as lone hunters of enemy ships. In so doing they would pave the way for the United States to enter and dominate a new dimension of war in the air for generations to come.  
     
    This is their story, from humble beginnings at MIT’s Radiation Lab and hunting U-boats off America’s eastern shore, through to the campaigns of the war in the Pacific in their two-year march toward Tokyo. The Wright Project would prove itself to be a combat leader many times over and an outstanding technology innovator, evolving to become the 868th Bomb Squadron.  
     
    Comprehensive and highly personal, this story can now be revealed for the very first time, based on official sources, and interviews with the young men who flew into the night.
