Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is a fictionalized treatment of the Gospel. A well-preserved manuscript is discovered, dating from the late first century A.D. It is written in the common Greek language of the eastern Roman provinces and purports to be an account of the life and acts of one Jeshua, written by a Roman centurion whose servant he had healed. This Jeshua was an itinerant Jewish preacher from the time of the Emperors Augustus and Tiberius. After introductory statements by the archeologist, by a friend to whom he had entrusted the manuscript and by an expert on ancient manuscripts, there follows the legionary's own preface. He gives a brief biography of himself and his family origins at Rome and his career as a soldier, first in Gaul and then in Syria and Palenstine as an officer of the X Legion, Fretensis.What follows is a synthesis of the four canonical gospels, combined into a single narrative, interspersed with copious questioning, analysis and commentary by the ancient writer. Deeply impressed by the healing of a beloved young servant, after retiring with the rank of military tribune he devoted the rest of his life to interviewing those who had known Jeshua and gathering their written accounts of this life and mission. His Roman viewpoint and military experience are antithetical to Jeshua's teaching, yet he has an undeniable attraction to that teaching. The beloved servant, once a slave, has been manumitted and serves as an amanuensis to the writer. Their joint effort has produced thje manuscript in question.In the end the legionary admits the power and cogency of Jeshua's message and reluctantly accepts its meaning for himself. His servant, Demetrios, ends the manuscript with his own confession of belief, for, as he says, he had no doubt about Jeshua ever since the day he was healed of a virulent fever at the age of 14.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Alternative to Energy Wars Like the One in IraqWhat if the United States could be energy independent It's not just a good science fiction plot. In twelve years, the country could be free from its need of foreign oil, not only helping to level the international economic playing field, but also aiding in the repair of the effects of global warming.Although it will take a Herculean effort, Bob Wical's two-part Twelve-Years-to-Hydrogen Plan provides a detailed roadmap to change. The oil from phase one will satisfy the nation's addiction and enhance national security by making the nation self-reliant for its oil supply. Tax revenues from phase one will finance phase two, allowing for the development of a hydrogen fuel infrastructure. Wical's dual strategy is currently the most cost-effective, expedient, and safest plan publicly available.Because of the growing tension in the Middle East and the climate changes that the planet has experienced in the past several decades, now is the time to act. Total Energy Independence clearly shows us how a hydrogen-centered plan is possible, affordable, and sustainable, guiding us to a cleaner, more environmentally friendly future.
