Keskiyön rukoilun voima
by Gabriel AgboTämä kirja ”Keskiyön rukoilun voima” tulee varmasti olemaan yksi kattavampia ja vahvimpia kirjoja, joita on kirjoitettu henkisestä sodankäynnistä. Kirjan nimen valinta perustuu suureen määrään kokemuksia, pelottavia todistuksia ja tunnustuksia, sekä Jumalan sanan huolelliseen lukemiseen. Tämä teos on todellakin hyvin rikas ja hyvään aineistoon perustuva. Sitä on kuvattu uskomattomaksi kirjaksi. Opit tästä kirjasta siitä valtavasta voimasta, mikä on tuntien 23:00-3:00 välillä lausutuissa rukouksissa, ja jota ei ole vielä hyödynnetty täysin. Tiedätkö sinä tarpeeksi ylistyksen, rukouksen ja paastoamisen räjähtävistä voimista? Tiedätkö, millaisia rooleja Jumalan enkeleillä, Jumalan Hengellä ja Jumalan tulella on sodassamme pimeyden valtakuntaa vastaan? Kuulet tässä kirjassa suoraan okkultismin entisiltä suurmestareilta siitä, miten valtavan tuhoava vaikutus Jeesuksen nimellä ja verellä on Saatanan valtakuntaan. Mitä tapahtuu silloin, kun Saatana ja hänen demoninsa joutuvat suoraan kosketukseen universumin kahden vahvimman voiman kanssa? Miksi Saatana kaatui tapaamisen aikana istuimeltaan siksi, että Jeesuksen nimi mainittiin? Tiedätkö sinä vihollisen sotastrategioista kirkkoa, kristittyjä ja pappeja vastaan? Kuinka hän heikentää ja jopa tappaa evankeliumia saarnaavia pappeja? Mitä vaikuttajia pimeyden valtakunnalla on kirkossa? Millaisia rooleja rukouksen sotureilla pitäisi olla? Miksi Saatanan kuningaskuntaa kiinnostaa ihmisten liha ja veri? Miksi ihmisiä uhrataan okkultismin maailmassa? Lue lukuisia tunnustuksia Saatanan entisiltä vaikuttajilta ja jopa medialta ihmisten uhraamisesta ja muista tavoista, jotka eivät sovi kirjaan painettaviksi. Miksi nainen nyppisi silmät ryömivältä vauvalta, tappaisi tämän kiljuvana ja itkevänä, jauhaisi sitten tästä lihaa ja söisi sitä? Mitä okkultismi tekee seksin avulla? Voiko pahoja henkiä, liittoja ja kirouksia siirtää seksi
Key Concepts in the Study of Antisemitism (Palgrave Critical Studies of Antisemitism and Racism)
by Scott Ury Kalman Weiser Sol GoldbergThis volume is designed to assist university faculty and students studying and teaching about antisemitism, racism, and other forms of prejudice. In contrast with similar volumes, it is organized around specific concepts instead of chronology or geography. It promotes conversation about antisemitism across disciplinary, geographic, and thematic lines rather than privileging a single methodological paradigm, a specific academic field, or an overarching narrative. Its twenty-one chapters by leading scholars in diverse fields address the relationship to antisemitism of concepts ranging from Anti-Judaism to Zionism. Each chapter not only traces the history and major scholarly debates around a key concept; it also presents an original argument, points to avenues for further research, and exemplifies a method of investigation.

by Nicolai SinaiAn essential single-volume companion to the critical interpretation of Islamic scriptureThis book provides detailed and multidisciplinary coverage of a wealth of key Qur’anic terms, with incisive entries on crucial expressions ranging from the divine names allāh (“God”) and al-raḥmān (“the Merciful”) to the Qur’anic understanding of belief and self-surrender to God.

Key to the Science of Theology: An Introduction to the Christian Principles of Spiritual Philosophy, Religion, Law and Government
by Parley P. PrattKey to the Science of Theology by Parley P. Pratt is a seminal work that offers a unique and comprehensive exploration of theology from a Latter-day Saint (LDS) perspective. Originally published in 1855, the book reflects Pratt’s pioneering vision of theology not merely as a system of faith but as a science—a discipline governed by divine laws and eternal truths. A leading figure in early Mormonism, Pratt presents a bold synthesis of philosophy, religion, and governance, aiming to illuminate the deeper principles that govern both spiritual and temporal realms.In this work, Pratt discusses key Christian doctrines, including the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, the importance of revelation, and the eternal potential of humanity. He emphasizes the idea that spiritual knowledge is acquired through obedience to divine laws, portraying theology as a living, dynamic pursuit of truth. Pratt also addresses themes such as the resurrection, spiritual gifts, the afterlife, and the eternal progression of souls, offering a profound vision of the purpose of human existence.Beyond theology, Pratt’s writings extend into practical matters of law and government, reflecting the Mormon belief in the integration of spiritual principles with societal order. He argues that true religion encompasses all aspects of life—personal, communal, and governmental—each governed by eternal laws that promote peace, justice, and freedom.Key to the Science of Theology remains a thought-provoking text for those interested in the relationship between faith and reason. Pratt’s innovative blend of theology and philosophy challenges readers to see religion as a pursuit of knowledge governed by universal truths. For students of LDS theology, philosophy, or religious thought, this work offers a fascinating insight into the early development of Mormon beliefs and the visionary spirit that continues to shape the faith today.

Keys to the Beyond: Frithjof Schuon's Cross-Traditional Language of Transcendence (SUNY series in Western Esoteric Traditions)
by Patrick LaudeThis book explores the work of the religious philosopher Frithjof Schuon (1907–1998) by focusing on the way he develops his own expansive adaptations of traditional religious terms. As a leading proponent of perennial philosophical and religious thought, Schuon borrows widely from specific religious traditions, expanding the scope of traditional terminology—from upāya and yin-yang to "quintessential Sufism" and "vertical Trinity"—beyond their respective traditional definitions. This is one of Schuon's strengths as a thinker, but it can also be an obstacle to understanding his writings. This study develops the full implications of these key terms by first delving into their specific traditional denotations and, secondly, exploring their universal connotations in Schuon's universe of meaning. Such a task is particularly timely when both hardened religious identities and skepticism or hostility toward religious traditions increasingly clash with each other. The current questions and challenges surrounding cross-civilizational relations make such a contribution particularly needed and likely to receive a broader attention in the years to come.
Khadija
by Resit HaylamazThe first Muslim and the wife of Prophet Muhammad Exploring the early days of Islam, this biography focuses on one of the most prominent and respected Muslim women in history, Khadija, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad.

Khomeini
by Baqer MoinThe Ayatollah Khomeini was the most radical Muslim leader of this age. In transforming himself from a traditional Muslim theologian into the charismatic Iranian ruler who took on the world, Khomeini launched an Islamic revival movement that, with the collapse of communism, quickly evolved for some as the centre-piece in the pantheon of western demonology, and for others as the inspiration for spiritual and political rebirth. Whether viewed as a hero by his supporters or as a villain by his enemies, Khomeini was undoubtedly one of the seminal figures of the twentieth century, whose influence will extend some way into the new millennium. Baqer Moin here explores how and why this frail octogenarian, dressed in the traditional robes of a Muslim cleric, overthrew the secular Shah of Iran and became the spiritual leader of a new and militant Islamic regime. Still an enigma in the West, Khomeini transformed the Middle East and the world. But where did the man come from? What was his childhood and family background? What lay behind his implacable opposition to the Shah? What role did the turbulent events in Iran during his youth play in shaping Khomeini's political perceptions? What changed him from an obscure traditional theologian with mystical and poetic inclinations into a combative and highly vengeful radical? How will his vision of an international community of Muslims, a kind of Islamic Internationale, affect the Middle East?Drawing on many exclusive personal interviews with Khomeini's associates, on unpublished new materials and on the author's firsthand experience in Islamic seminaries, this biography provides a fascinating, well-documented and highly accessible analysis of the life and thought of one of the most controversial leaders of the late twentieth century.
Khomeini's Ghost: The Iranian Revolution and the Rise of Militant Islam
by Con CoughlinFrom the bestselling author of Saddam comes the definitive biography of Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamic revolution and how his fundamentalist legacy has forever influenced the course of Iran's relationship with the West. In February 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Tehran after nearly fifteen years in exile and received a hero's welcome. Just as the new world order sought to purge the communist ideologies of the Cold War, the religious doctrine of Islamic fundamentalism emerged to pose an even greater threat to post–Iron Curtain stability—and Khomeini would mastermind it into a revolution.Khomeini's Ghost is the account of how an impoverished young student from a remote area of southern Iran became the leader of one of the most dramatic upheavals of the modern age, and how his radical Islamic philosophy now lies at the heart of the modern-day conflict between Iran and the West. Con Coughlin draws on a wide variety of Iranian sources, including religious figures who knew and worked with Khomeini both in exile and in power.Both compelling and timely, Khomeini's Ghost is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand what lies at the center of many of the world's most intractable conflicts.
