Jesus Christ
Judaism is one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, tracing its origins to the covenant between God and Abraham, traditionally dated to around 2000 BCE. It is rooted in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and later interpretations found in the Talmud. Over centuries, Jewish thought has evolved through various philosophical movements, including Hellenistic, medieval, and modern Jewish philosophy.In antiquity, figures like Philo of Alexandria sought to harmonize Jewish theology with Greek philosophy. During the medieval period, scholars such as Maimonides and Saadiah Gaon engaged with Aristotelian and Neoplatonic ideas to reconcile reason with faith. Jewish philosophy often grappled with the relationship between divine revelation and rational inquiry, leading to debates between rationalists and mystics.This work serves to trace this part of independent Jewish history through its own literature, stopping with the Babylonian Conquest at the end of the First Temple Era.

The Desert Walk
The first title released in the new (2026) Sacred Pathways series, The Desert Walk, invites us to listen for Our Lord's voice in the stillness of the desert as we begin a journey through the 40 days of Lent to the glory of Easter. By stepping into the silence of the desert, we experience a much-needed respite from the clamor and chaos of the world. Spending a few quiet moments with Jesus can bring healing and restoration, soothe concerns, and quiet any discontent that lies within us. This 40-day journey will help us progress from an outer life of doing, to an inner life of abiding with the Lord. By using the power of contemplative prayer, we encounter the living Christ and begin to foster a deepening interior life, which may yield beautiful fruit in due season. This journal-style, softcover book includes blank pages to record personal thoughts and reflections. It is part of the Sacred Pathways series, which considers the many ways that our Lord uses to bring us closer to himself. By reflecting on liturgical seasons, our own particular calling, or our very humanity, we can discover various invitations to connect with God and celebrate the fullness of life.

Noah's Secret is Out! In 2750 BC, Ken keeps goats. Walking to market, he meets two tree fellers, Shem and Ham. They work for their old man who really is an old man. Ken joins the Arborist Association and trims logs for Noah's ark. But what is it and why is it? Ken upsets Noah with questions such as, "Are you really the only righteous person in the whole world?" and "What have the animals done to deserve Jehovah's wrath?" It takes forever to build the ark which looks like a giant shoebox. Ken is unlucky in love but has his goats accepted for the cruise of a lifetime. As the handful of passengers on board throw streamers to those on the quayside, Ken ain't there. Somehow he's on board, unconscious in the goat pen with his Bovidae family. Skip forward to today in Charlotte NC where a bible-believing family home school their kids. The Christian curriculum involves Noah's ark. The kids are curious and, having watched Nature and Science shows online, ask questions. Mom worries. Their pastor hears about crazy science topics being taught at the local public school. No room for Intelligent Design. One teacher is Timmy or is it Jimmy Webb, and a PI sets out to track him down. The universe is how big?

Magic and Heresy in Ancient Christian Literature
Magic and Heresy in Ancient Christian Literature is a genealogical study of two parallel but not coequal discursive trajectories: of 'magic' and of 'heresy.' This longue dur矇e analysis charts how these two discursive streams intersect in myriad ways, for myriad ends, across the first four centuries of selected Christian literature. Magic and Heresy attempts to answer in part the question: When and how did early Christian authors start thinking of magic as heresy - that is, as a religious and epistemic system wholly external to their own orthodoxies? Prompted by metacritical concerns about the relationship between magic and heresy, as well as these categories' roles in erecting and maintaining Christian empire, this Element seeks to disrupt tidy conceptual conflations of magic-heresy constructed by ancient authors and replicated in some modern scholarship. Magic and Heresy excavates the cycles of discursive disciplining that eventually resulted in these very conflations.
