Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Who was Judas Iscariot really For two thousand years, he has been remembered as the ultimate traitor - the disciple who sold Jesus for thirty silver coins and sealed his fate with a kiss in the darkness of Gethsemane. But behind the familiar story lies one of the greatest mysteries in religious history.Was Judas driven by greed, political fanaticism, disappointment, or something far more complex Did he betray Jesus - or did he believe he was forcing the arrival of God's kingdom Why do the Gospels themselves disagree about his motives and death And why has every generation, from the early Church to the modern world, reinvented him in a different image Blending rigorous historical research with vivid narrative storytelling, The Dark Disciple takes readers deep into the turbulent world of first-century Judea: a land under Roman occupation, filled with revolutionary hopes, apocalyptic expectations, and fierce struggles over faith, power, and identity. Drawing on the New Testament, apocryphal gospels, Church Fathers, and modern scholarship, this book explores Judas not as a flat villain, but as one of the most tragic and psychologically complex figures in the history of Christianity.A journey through betrayal, politics, theology, and myth, The Dark Disciple challenges everything we think we know about the man whose name became a curse.…

Twelve historical events. Twelve rules you can use today.Ryan Holiday meets ancient history. For anyone who has watched a gifted person flame out - or suspects they might be capable of the same.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. APOSTLE JOHN IN THE PROVINCE OF ASIA is not a conventional retelling of the life of Saint John.This book follows John from the world of Galilee and Jerusalem into the Province of Asia, where memory, empire, persecution, worship, and apocalypse met. It argues for the traditional identification of John the Apostle with the seer of Patmos, while admitting honestly that the question has been debated since antiquity.The originality of the book lies in its wider historical frame. Before John saw the New Jerusalem descending from heaven, Asia had already known another promised city: the City of the Sun, linked with Aristonicus, also known as Eumenes III, and his failed revolt against Roman power. The book does not claim that John continued Aristonicus. It draws a sharper contrast: Aristonicus offered Asia a revolutionary city beneath the sun, while Revelation offered Asia a divine city descending from God.From there, the narrative enters Ephesus, Artemis, the seven churches, Patmos, imperial cult, trade, wealth, fear, and the strange power of the Apocalypse. Revelation is presented not as a code for panic, but as a letter to real Christian communities living under pressure in real cities.The book also opens the door to later Johannine memory: the apocryphal Acts of John, the temple of Artemis, Lycomedes and Cleopatra, the mysterious portrait of John, the disturbing tomb episode of Drusiana and Callimachus with its necrophilic desire and spiritual reversal, the chalice and serpent of later iconography, and the human, almost tender story of the apostle and the bedbugs.Readable, dramatic, and carefully sourced, this volume brings together Scripture, ancient history, apocryphal tradition, Orthodox and Western memory, and historical imagination.It is a book for readers who want the Apostle John to feel alive again: not only as the beloved disciple or the eagle of theology, but as a witness standing between empire, death, desire, memory, and the city of God.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Everyone knows where the Apostle Peter died. Or thinks they do.Beneath the high altar of Saint Peter's Basilica lies the tomb traditionally identified as that of the fisherman from Galilee-the disciple who denied Jesus, became the Rock, and was later remembered as the first pope.But far to the east, Antioch preserves another memory.There, in the city where the followers of Jesus were first called Christians, ancient Eastern traditions remember Peter not primarily as the Apostle of Rome but as a missionary, founder, teacher, and perhaps even a martyr of the East.So where did Peter's final journey really end?Apostle Peter Between East and West follows the most prominent of Jesus's disciples from the shores of Galilee to Jerusalem, Antioch, Asia Minor, Babylon, and finally Rome. Drawing on the New Testament, the early Church Fathers, Syriac traditions, apocryphal writings, archaeology, and the excavations beneath the Vatican, the book examines the evidence behind one of Christianity's oldest unresolved mysteries.Did Peter truly die in Rome? What does the archaeology beneath Saint Peter's Basilica actually prove? Why do Eastern Christian traditions remember a different Peter? How did a married Jewish fisherman become the foundation of the papacy? And why has Antioch's claim so often been overshadowed by Rome?This is not an attack on the Catholic tradition nor a sensational conspiracy theory. It is a balanced historical investigation that takes Rome seriously without allowing it to silence the East.Two cities. Two ancient memories. One apostle.For readers interested in biblical history, Christian origins, archaeology, the early Church, and the hidden conflicts behind familiar traditions, this book restores Peter to the full world in which he lived-and leaves the final judgment to the reader.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. SALOMEShe danced.A prophet died.And a legend was born.For two thousand years, Salome has been remembered as the fatal woman of the New Testament-the girl whose dance led to the execution of John the Baptist.But who was she really?Drawing on the Gospels, Flavius Josephus, the Church Fathers, Byzantine historians, archaeology, art, literature, and centuries of interpretation, SALOME separates the historical figure from the myth that transformed her into one of the most enduring and controversial women in Western culture.In this compelling work of popular religious history, Vasileios G. N. explores: - The historical Salome behind the Gospel narrative- The execution of John the Baptist and the politics of the Herodian court- What the Gospels actually say-and what they do not say- The role of Herod, Herodias, and the dynasty that shaped the tragedy- The Church Fathers and the first Christian interpretations- Byzantine traditions, including the famous legend of the frozen river- Salome in art, literature, opera, and film-from Oscar Wilde to Richard Strauss- Modern historical, feminist, and cultural readings of one of history's most misunderstood womenWas Salome a calculating seductress, a political instrument, or simply a young girl caught in a dynastic struggle beyond her control?The answer is far more complex than the legend.A fascinating journey through biblical history, memory, myth, and the making of a cultural icon.
