When most of us hear the word "Auschwitz" it immediately invokes black and white, grainy footage of living skeletons, gas chambers and inhuman brutality of a level never seen since. But the thing that most people do not realize is that before the town of Auschwitz was used as a death camp, it was one of the most posh and cosmopolitan towns in all of Austria. It was a prosperous Jewish enclave known rather fondly as "Little Jerusalem".

They said it would never happen in America, but the First Amendment was severely attacked in Nebraska from 1977 to 1984. Christian Conviction v. State Persecution chronicles not only the events but why they took place. This was not isolated to a single denomination or group. Among the churches attacked were Amish, Mennonite, Apostolic, Pentecostal, Baptist, and Church of Christ. Among the homeschool families, the list expands farther.

Imagine finding out that you had been brainwashed into believing you were helping people, but you were actually hurting them. For years, Nehemiah Flynt provided therapeutic foster care without realizing the harm he was helping the government inflict on innocent children and families.

This book shines a light on the Nazi Doctrine under Hitler and traces the alliances with the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic terrorists. Eventually, the entire world condemned Hitler and Nazism; when is the same thing going to happen with Islamic extremism?

This book explores how polarized interpretations of America's past influence the present and vice versa. A focus on competing Protestant reactions to President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan evidences a fundamental divide over how America should remember historical racism, sexism, and exploitation. Additionally, these Protestants disagree over how the past influences present injustice and equality. Rowley proposes that recovering a complex view of the past, confessing the bad and embracing the good, might help Americans have a shared memory that can bridge polarization.

The story of Catholic Emancipation begins with the Anti-Catholic Gordon Riots in 1780, fuelled by a reduction in Penal Laws against Catholics harking back to the 16th century. Fifty years later, the passing of the Emancipation Bill was hailed as a 'bloodless revolution'. Yet, had the Irish Catholics been a 'millstone', or were they the prime movers? 

For too long, the teachings of Jesus have been selectively interpreted and utilized to reinforce existing power structures and conservative ideologies. This book seeks to challenge those interpretations, offering a fresh perspective rooted in historical context and a commitment to social justice. It is not an attempt to rewrite the Gospels, but rather to re-engage with them through a lens informed by progressive values and a deep understanding of the historical and social realities of Jesus's time. By examining Jesus’s interactions with the marginalized, his critique of wealth and power, ...

Have you ever wondered why Jesus remained a hidden Messiah for the people of Israel? Why wasn’t He recognized by His own? And what does this have to do with you? Searching for the answers, Julia Blum examines a diverse array of Jewish texts from the Second Temple period and Old Testament and discovers the “hidden prophecy” about God’s concealment of the Messiah. She then takes her readers through the pages of the New Testament, showing that the Messiah was “as though” hiding His face from Israel. Even more important, she shows that also today, in our own walk, we mainly see “...

Jews are indisputably the most persecuted people in the annals of history. At the source of Jew-hatred in its myriad forms is anti-Semitism, a sinister and vile mindset that has existed since Old Testament times, that is, thousands of years. Anti-Semites pervade social, religious, economic and political confines, even mainstream Christianity, and their dislike for people of Jewish ancestry often translate into mindless persecution and slaughter, such as the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Second World War in the mid-twentieth century whereby over six ...

This book is one of a series. It discusses some of the wacky ways that Mormons avoid answering tough questions about their doctrine, beliefs, and history which were written by their own historians, prophets, and leaders that is completely baloney. It exposes what they really believe and the massive hypocrisy found in almost every Mormon, everywhere. You will find yourself laughing out loud more than once.

La più grande tragedia del mondo non è la piaga dell'AIDS, l'insurrezione politica, la povertà, l'analfabetismo o il terrorismo. Piuttosto, la più grande tragedia è l'ignoranza di Gesù, il figlio di Dio. Il mondo ha visto grandi filosofi come Platone, Aristleto, Merchavelli tra gli altri, ma parole non dette che potrebbero portare guarigione al mondo malato, solo le parole di Gesù potrebbero portare guarigione ai malati (Giovanni 5,6-9). Il mondo ha visto persone con grandi nomi come Napoleone "Il grande", Metternick, Adolph Hitler, Idi Amin Dada, ma non aveva un nome che potesse ...

The greatest tragedy in the world is not the AIDS scourge, Political insurgency, Poverty, Illiteracy or Terrorism. Rather, the greatest tragedy is the ignorance of Jesus the son of God. The world has seen great philosophers like Plato, Aristleto, Merchavelli among others, but non spoke words that could bring healing to the sick world, only the words of Jesus could bring healing to the sick.(John 5.6-9). The world has seen people with great names such as Napoleon “The great”, Metternick, Adolph Hitler, Idi Amin Dada, but non had a name which could drive demons away, but Jesus has a name ...

Sekter findes overalt i vores samfund, men de kan være svære at få øje på. De eksisterer dog i bedste velgående, og der er mange.

The Fulani herdsmen’s invasion into peaceful communities of Nigeria has created a disturbing pattern of death and desecration; to this day none of the culprits have been brought to justice. Under the guise of an ancient livestock herding tradition, this group of people wage a war against the Christian population of the entire country. To protect their livestock, cattle farmers have graduated from using sticks, daggers, and clubs to using sophisticated, brutal weapons like double-barrel shotguns and AK-47s.

Wissen war in früheren Zeiten ein Privileg von wenigen, vor allem einfache Leute hatten keinen Zugang dazu. Die Situation änderte sich grundlegend mit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks durch Gutenberg im 15. Jahrhundert. Bücher lassen sich in großen Stückzahlen vervielfältigen und unter die Leute bringen. Vor allem Luther, so Wolf, macht sich die Möglichkeiten der Verbreitung zunutze: Jeder Dritte hat eine gedruckte Lutherschrift gelesen. Die katholische Kirche kann die Flut von Schriften nicht eindämmen, aber sie möchte verhindern, dass unliebsame Bücher gelesen werden.
