The Bed Keeper
More than a Biblical case for gay marriage, The Bed Keeper takes readers on a journey through space and time within the pages of Scripture, and reveals ancient prophecies long forgotten by the Church (both Catholic and Protestant), which illustrates teachings pertaining to not only the world wide gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, but indeed the Return of Jesus Christ Himself! Along the way, we will discover that Jesus taught LGBT people are naturally born so from our mothers' wombs, that the Apostle Paul ordained single gender Holy Matrimony, and that God demands we be affirmed in Churches all over the globe as equal partakers in the Kingdom of Heaven! The Bed Keeper is a message of hope for the LGBT community, complete with Scripture-based prophetic instructions for the Church to at last become all adorned like a Bride for her Bridegroom!
The Malice of Herodotus
The Malice of Herodotus can perhaps best be described as the world's earliest known book review. But it is much more than that, for in the course of 'correcting' with considerable vituperation what he saw as Herodotus' anti-Greek bias, Plutarch tells us much about his own attitude to writing history. So that together with Lucian's How to Write History (see Lucian A Selection in this series) it forms a basic text for the study of Greek historiography. It is also perhaps the most revealing example of Plutarch's prose style with its rhetorical variety and energy and odd mixture of good and bad argument. But in citing lost works, Plutarch has preserved valuable fragments which don't exist elsewhere and need to be assessed by all students of the Persian Wars. Greek text with translion, introduction and commentary.
Symposium
This Symposium has lived so much in the shadow of the famous one by Plato, that it has not received a full commentary in English for well over a hundred years. Yet it gives the only alternative view of Socrates and has a wit and vigour of its own which paints a picture of a Greek society that makes it a document of prime historical importance.
Suppliant Women
Aeschylus starts his tetralogy boldly, making the Danaids themselves prologue, chorus and protagonist. Guided by their father Danaus, these girls have fled from Egypt, where their cousins want to marry them, to seek asylum in Argos: they claim descent from Io, who was driven to Egypt five generations earlier when Zeus' love for her was detected by jealous Hera. In the long first movement of the play the Danaids argue their claim, pressing it with song and dance of pathos and power, upon the reluctant Argive king. He, forced eventually by their threat of suicide, puts the case to his people, who vote to accept the girls, but while they sing blessings on Argos, Danaus spies their cousins' ship...
Divine Institutes
"Lactantius enjoyed a high reputation in late antiquity and in the Renaissance, as apologist, rhetorician and stylist. He earned his living as a teacher of rhetorical Latin, and Ciceronian Latin lived again through his pen, enabling his wit and empowering his argument." "This edition of Divine Institutes has been prepared with students and scholars of intellectual history in mind, but it will also appeal to those concerned with ecclesiastical history and patristics, and to anyone interested in tracing the impact of Classical philosophy and literature on an early Christian thinker."-- Publisher description.
