Seal Target Geronimo: The Inside Story of the Mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden
by Chuck PfarrerOn May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. in Pakistan, a satellite uplink was sent from the town of Abbottabad crackling into the situation room of the White House in Washington, D.C.: "Geronimo, Echo, KIA." These words, spoken by a Navy SEAL, put paid to Osama bin Laden's three-decade-long career of terror. For ten years following 9/11, Bin Laden was the object of the most intense manhunt in modern history. This reclusive Saudi millionaire bankrolled a handpicked gang of jihadists who were determined to replace the governments of the world with a centralized Islamic regime. He ruled over a multifaceted empire of terror whose fanatics truck-bombed, hijacked, and murdered a bloody swath across four continents, killing men, women, and children. Three U. S. presidents vowed to bring him to justice. Intelligence organizations from a dozen nations sent agents after him. Finally, Osama bin Laden, the man who would have remade the world, was brought to bay--shot down as he cowered behind one of his own family members--by special warfare operators from the U. S. Navy's ultrasecret SEAL Team Six. SEAL Target Geronimo is the story of Bin Laden's relentless hunters and how they took down the terrorist mastermind, told by Chuck Pfarrer, a former assault element commander of SEAL Team Six and author of the bestselling Warrior Soul: The Memoir of a Navy SEAL. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details of the historic raid and the men who planned and conducted it in an exclusive boots-on-the-ground account of what happened during each minute of the mission--both inside the building and outside. Pfarrer takes readers inside the operation as the SEAL's flew over the wall of Bin Laden's shabby, litter-strewn compound and then penetrated deeper and deeper into the terrorist's lair, telling us just what it looked, sounded, and smelled like in that sweltering Pakistani suburb. He takes us out to the courtyard to witness the near-disaster of the malfunctioning helicopter and brings us to the exact spot where the al-Qaeda leader was cowering when the bullet entered his head. SEAL Target Geronimo is an explosive story of unparalleled valor, clockwork military precision, and deadly accuracy carried out by the most elite fighting force in the world--the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six.

Sealed with an Oath: Covenant in God's Unfolding Purpose (New Studies in Biblical Theology #Volume 23)
by Paul R. WilliamsonPaul R. Williamson looks at the role of the covenant concept in Scripture and the meaning of this terminology. He then sets the idea of covenant in the context of God's universal purpose, and traces the idea through Noah and the patriarchs, the nation of Israel and the kingship of David. Lastly, he shows how the new covenant is anticipated in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New. In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Williamson offers new insights into key texts and issues related to the theme of covenant. He is not afraid to challenge established positions. One example is his dual-covenant approach to God's dealings with Abraham. His robust scholarship will be appreciated by scholars, lecturers and students in theology, ministers and all who have a serious interest in the covenant concept. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

Searching Her Own Mystery: Nostra Aetate, the Jewish People, and the Identity of the Church
by Mark Kinzer Jean Garrigues O.P.According to Mark Kinzer, Messianic Jewish scholar and Rabbi, in Searching Her Own Mystery, "Vatican II's Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian religions (Nostra Aetate) transformed the Catholic view of the Jewish people and the Jewish religious tradition." He notes "that the Church discovers her link to the 'stock of Abraham' when 'searching her own mystery.'" Further. he asserts that "Nostra Aetate intimated that the mystery of Israel is inseparable from the mystery of the Church. As interlocking mysteries, each community requires the other in order to understand itself." In his book, Kinzer argues "that the Church has yet to explore adequately the implications of Nostra Aetate for Christian self-understanding. The new Catholic teaching concerning Israel should produce fresh perspectives on the entire range of Christian theology, including Christology, ecclesiology, and the theology of the sacraments." To this end, "Kinzer proposes an Israel-ecclesiology rooted in Israel-Christology in which a restored ecclesia ca circumcisione--the 'church from the circumcision'--assumes a crucial role as a sacramental sign of the Church's bond with the Jewish people and genealogical-Israel's irrevocable election." In short, Kinzer, in this Searching Her own Mystery, discusses differences and similarities between Judaism and Catholicism, and hopes that this discussion will further repair the schism that exists between these different cultures and traditions. His aim is to reconcile the two religions and make each of them realize that they need each other and are interconnected. His book is replete with footnotes that he uses to couch and support his ideas and arguments.
