Landscape of the Megaliths

Excavation and Fieldwork on the Avebury Monuments, 1997-2003

By: Mark Gillings,Joshua Pollard,Rick Peterson,David Wheatley

This volume describes the results of the Longstones Project , a joint-universities programme of excavation and survey designed to develop a fuller understanding of the context and dynamics of monument construction in the later Neolithic (3rd millennium BC) of the Avebury region, Wiltshire. Several elements of this internationally important prehistoric monument complex were investigated: an early-mid 3rd millennium BC enclosure at Beckhampton; the recently re-discovered Beckhampton Avenue and Longstones Cove; a section of the West Kennet Avenue; the Falkner's stone circle; and the Cove within Avebury's Northern Inner Circle. The research sheds new light on the complexities and development of this monument rich area and consideration is given to the questions of how and why ceremonial centres such as that at Avebury came into being in the 3rd millennium BC. The importance of understanding the agency - the affective and perceived inherent qualities - of materials and landscapes is stressed; and the unusual character of the Wessex monument complexes is highlighted by comparison with the format and sequences of other ceremonial centres in southern Britain. The second part of the monograph tracks the later, post-prehistoric, lives of Avebury's megalithic monuments including a detailed account of the early 18th-century records of the Beckhampton Avenue made by the antiquary William Stukeley.

Inscribed Objects and the Development of Literature in Early Japan

By: Joshua Frydman

The introduction of writing enables new forms of literature, but these can be invisible in works that survive as manuscripts. Through looking at inscriptions of poetry on garbage and as graffiti, we can glimpse how literature spread along with writing. This study uses these lesser-studied sources, including inscriptions on pottery, architecture, and especially wooden tablets known as mokkan, to uncover how poetry, and literature more broadly, was used, shared and thrown away in early Japan. Through looking at these disposable and informal sources, we explore the development of early Japanese literature, and even propose parallels to similar developments in other societies across space and time.

Situating Poetry

Covenant and Genre in American Modernism

By: Joshua Logan Wall

A retelling of American modernism through the lines of solidarity and division within and among ethnic and religious identities found in poetry. What happens if we approach the reading and writing of poetry not as an individual act, but as a public one? Answering this question challenges common assumptions about modern poetry and requires that we explore the important questions that define genre: Where is this poem situated, and how did it get there? Joshua Logan Wall's Situating Poetry studies five poets of the New York literary scene rarely considered together: James Weldon Johnson, Charles Reznikoff, Lola Ridge, Louis Zukofsky, and Robert Hayden. Charting their works and careers from 1910–1940, Wall illustrates how these politically marginalized writers from drastically different religious backgrounds wrestled with their status as American outsiders. These poets produced a secularized version of America in which poetry, rather than God, governed individual obligations to one another across multiethnic barriers. Adopting a multiethnic and pluralist approach, Wall argues that each of these poets—two Black, two Jewish, and one Irish-American anarchist—shares a desire to create more truly democratic communities through art and through the covenantal publics created by their poems despite otherwise sitting uncomfortably, at best, within a more standard literary history. In this unique account of American modernist poetics, religious pluralism creates a lens through which to consider the bounds of solidarity and division within and among ethnic identities and their corresponding literatures.

Telling a Better Story

How to Talk About God in a Skeptical Age

By: Josh Chatraw

Christianity Today 2021 Book Award Winner: Apologetics & Evangelism Telling a Better Story clears a path to a more effective, empathetic apologetics for today—both for experienced apologists and those new to sharing their faith with others. Today's Christians often view the practice of defending their faith as pushy or unnecessary. Won't it just be taken for proselytizing? Don't many unbelievers find it offensive? Many Christians have shifted to a strategy of hoping that our lives will show Christ to our neighbors—and, while this is certainly good, it's no substitute to actively telling people about Christ. In Telling a Better Story, author Joshua Chatraw presents a new and refreshing way to engage in apologetics that will help you tell the story of Christ in a holistic, culturally-contextual manner that—while being respectful—helps unbelievers imagine a more complete happiness and a better meaning to life. Telling a Better Story will give you the tools to: Understand the cultural stories that surround us. Recognize how these secular stories have shaped the way many people think. Learn how to tell God's story in a fresh way that allows today's younger generations to see it as a more meaningful and more hopeful story than the scripts around it. Finally, you'll also learn how to deal with the perennial issues and common objections to Christianity.

The Jews, Nationalism, and the Universalist Ideal

By: Joshua David

The Jews, Nationalism and the Universalist Ideal examines the rise of contemporary globalism, as well as it’s historical predecessors from the past, as parts of a common historical ideological whole which seeks to replace ethnic nationalism with internationalism. A mission which is termed universalism in this book. Both ancient and contemporary, this is the back story of an ideology which has had a monumental impact upon the development of human civilization. The book tells the history of the Jewish people intertwined with memoirs from the author’s life and seamlessly weaves in eye-opening historical references. It’s a thought-provoking look into the struggles of nationalism and universalism. It’s a history lesson with a bold message. Do you find yourself baffled, frustrated, or shocked by current events in the world today? Then this book is for you.

The Incredible Expanding Mountain of Hope

Volume 1 The Mere Foundation Stone

By: Joshua Herald

Even though this book is about Daniel 2, it's not really about Daniel 2! It's really about Jesus! Come tag along on this exciting journey of re-discovery! Even if you think you've long understood all details of the prophecy, you may just discover a most important new insight and find yourself dumbfounded by precise prophetic fulfillments in Christian history that once sent chills up the author's spine. You too may discover the fuller gospel meaning embedded within ancient cryptic symbols, almost like a “hidden picture”! Daniel 2, specifically, unveils the very Foundation Stone of all later Bible prophecies, and—correctly understood—it places the Lamb of God, His unfathomable love for sinners, and the heart conquest of His Kingdom (of glory and of grace) squarely back at the center of all Bible prophecy. That Christ-centering “hidden picture” is nothing short of a self-portrait of Jesus and the prophesied growth of his New Testament “kingdom of God” message into all the world, of his royal incarnate rule from its tiniest beginnings in Bethlehem to its mountainous NO END in eternity! This book is really about a too-often “hidden” message that Herald believes God always intended to shout out to our anxiety-ridden world today, as we now teeter on the brink of eternity. It is the timeless and yet so timely message of “HOPE!” Real hope! A long-growing hope (as you will discover)—embodied in a Person—that reaches all the way down to even the most apparently hopeless if she or he will only recognize it and take hold…of JESUS! “In this magnificent book, which at times seems like a spy thriller, Joshua Herald methodically details insights into Scripture. He does so with such clarity and precision that you will wonder how you could have missed coming to the same conclusion he did.” ~ Ron Price MA, author of Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Church, Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Work, and Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Home "Hang onto your seats for this rollercoaster! Joshua Herald pens a twisting, turning ride to a better understanding of Daniel's beastly prophecies and the mysterious stone that strikes the colossal, metallic image. ~ Chris Conrad PG (professional geologist) If you have found the insights in this book to be spiritually uplifting and helpful, please share this title with a friend!

A Writer of Our Time

The Life and Work of John Berger

By: Joshua Sperling

John Berger was one of the most influential thinkers and writers of postwar Europe. As a novelist, he won the Booker Prize in 1972, donating half his prize money to the Black Panthers; as a TV presenter he changed the way we looked at art in Ways of Seeing; as a storyteller and political activist he defended the rights and dignity of workers, migrants and the oppressed around the world. In 1953 he wrote: "Far from dragging politics into art, art has dragged me into politics." He remained a revolutionary up to his death in January, 2017. In A Writer of Our Time, Joshua Sperling places Berger's life and works within the historical narrative of postwar Britain and beyond. The book also explores, through the work, the larger questions that vexed a generation: the purpose of art, the nature of creative freedom, the meaning of commitment. Drawing on extensive interviews, close readings and a wealth of archival sources only recently made available, the book brings the many different faces of John Berger together and shows him as one of the most vital, and brilliant, thinkers and storytellers of our time.

Shattering the Ley

By: Joshua Palmatier

First book in Joshua Palmatier's new epic fantasy trilogy, set in a sprawling city of light and magic fueled by a ley line network. Erenthrall—sprawling city of light and magic, whose streets are packed with traders from a dozen lands and whose buildings and towers are grown and shaped in the space of a day. At the heart of the city is the Nexus, the hub of a magical ley line system that powers Erenthrall. This ley line also links the city and the Baronial plains to rest of the continent and the world beyond. The Prime Wielders control the Nexus with secrecy and lies, but it is the Baron who controls the Wielders. The Baron also controls the rest of the Baronies through a web of brutal intimidation enforced by his bloodthirsty guardsmen and unnatural assassins. When the rebel Kormanley seek to destroy the ley system and the Baron’s chokehold, two people find themselves caught in the chaos that sweeps through Erenthrall and threatens the entire world: Kara Tremain, a young Wielder coming into her power, who discovers the forbidden truth behind the magic that powers the ley lines; and Alan Garrett, a recruit in the Baron’s guard, who learns that the city holds more mysteries and more danger than he could possibly have imagined . . . and who holds a secret within himself that could mean Erenthrall’s destruction -- or its salvation.

Once Upon a Time . . . Traveler

Dawn’s Early Light

By: Joshua Light

The travelers are back, with supercharged push-button technology to control time and space. A martial-arts prodigy and a counterterrorism agent are swept into the pre-Flood world where hideous giants are at war with mankind, aided by spirits with frightening powers. While history accommodates them, it also constrains them, requiring cunning and creativity to affect justice and to rescue the doomed as their skills are stretched to the limit. Light deals with the genetic corruption preceding the Flood and how modern genetic enhancement plays into this model in the Last Days. He integrates potential pre-Flood physics and cosmology with the possible technologies available to the first generations of humanity. The biblical dawn of man included gargantuan animals, strange landscapes, and spirit-born technologies, an early light of brilliance snuffed out by sin and violence. Dawn’s early light will shine again upon the Redeemer's return. Winner - 2018 Henri Award for Youth and Young Adult Category, Christian Literary Awards

Japanese Historiography and the Gold Seal of 57 C.E.

Relic, Text, Object, Fake

By: Joshua A. Fogel

In the year 57 C.E., the court of Later Han dynasty presented a gold seal to an emissary from somewhere in what is now Japan. The seal soon vanished from history, only to be unearthed in 1784 in Japan. In the subsequent two-plus centuries, nearly 400 books and articles (mostly by Japanese) have addressed every conceivable issue surrounding this small object of gold. Joshua Fogel places the conferment of the seal in inter-Asian diplomacy of the first century and then traces four waves of historical analysis that the seal has undergone since its discovery, as the standards of historical judgment have changed over these years and the investment in the seal’s meaning have changed accordingly.
