A classified bibliographic resource for tracing the history of Jewish translation activity from the Middle Ages to the present day, providing the researcher with over a thousand entries devoted solely to the Jewish role in the east-to-west transmission of Greek and Arab learning and science into Latin or Hebrew. Other major sections extend the coverage to modern times, taking special note of the absorption of European literature into the Jewish cultural orbit via Hebrew, Yiddish, or Judezmo translations, for instance, or the translation and reception of Jewish literature written in Jewish languages into other languages such as Arabic, English, French, German, or Russian. This polyglot bibliography, the first of its kind, contains over 2,600 entries, is enhanced by a vast number of additional bibliographic notes leading to reviews and related resources, and is accompanied by both an author and a subject index.

THE END TIMES SERIES A set of two books designed to warn and prepare Christians for the dangerous days ahead. BOOK 2: Two Beasts Rising Two Beasts Rising combines biblical insight with academic research methods to help Christians understand the emergence of global political, scientific, ideological, economic, and social systems. Unless opposed by Christians, these five systems will come under the influence of dark forces, to become the first beast of Revelation and give power to the second beast of Revelation.
