Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brett Whalen explores the compelling belief that Christendom would spread to every corner of the earth before the end of time. During the High Middle Ages—an era of crusade, mission, and European expansion—the Western followers of Rome imagined the future conversion of Jews, Muslims, pagans, and Eastern Christians into one fold of God’s people, assembled under the authority of the Roman Church. Starting with the eleventh-century papal reform, Whalen shows how theological readings of history, prophecies, and apocalyptic scenarios enabled medieval churchmen to project the authority of Rome over the world. Looking to Byzantium, the Islamic world, and beyond, Western Christians claimed their special place in the divine plan for salvation, whether they were battling for Jerusalem or preaching to unbelievers. For those who knew how to read the signs, history pointed toward the triumph and spread of Roman Christianity. Yet this dream of Christendom raised troublesome questions about the problem of sin within the body of the faithful. By the late thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, radical apocalyptic thinkers numbered among the papacy’s most outspoken critics, who associated present-day ecclesiastical institutions with the evil of Antichrist—a subversive reading of the future. For such critics, the conversion of the world would happen only after the purgation of the Roman Church and a time of suffering for the true followers of God. This engaging and beautifully written book offers an important window onto Western religious views in the past that continue to haunt modern times.
Download or read book Dominion written by Tom Holland and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "marvelous" (Economist) account of how the Christian Revolution forged the Western imagination. Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion-an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus-was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history. Today, the West remains utterly saturated by Christian assumptions. As Tom Holland demonstrates, our morals and ethics are not universal but are instead the fruits of a very distinctive civilization. Concepts such as secularism, liberalism, science, and homosexuality are deeply rooted in a Christian seedbed. From Babylon to the Beatles, Saint Michael to #MeToo, Dominion tells the story of how Christianity transformed the modern world.

Book excerpt: How can believers live above the limitations imposed by this world's system? How can we live in Dominion as God originally instructed in Genesis 1:26-28? In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth; but what for? Is the earth inferior to heaven? Why did God create the earth? The bible says that our citizenship is in heaven. If this is true, then we must be on earth as ambassadors of heaven. This fact grants us Diplomatic Immunity from the limitations of earthly laws. We have been given assignments by God on earth; nothing on it should be able to stop us from fulfilling our assignment. We are supposed to live above earthly limitations. Understanding Dominion is a unique book that will answer vital age-long questions and reveal God's sovereign provision for world domination by His saints. We are in the world, but not of the world. In a time of famine do you have to cut back and make do with less like everybody else? While the world may say yes; the Word says No! The Bible tells us that even in times of famine you can still enjoy the provision of God. But this requires that there be interactions between heaven and earth. By design; God has put a lot of what we need on our diplomatic mission out of the reach of the enemy on earth. So we need to access heaven from earth to live a life of immunity and dominion. This book is indeed ground breaking in its emphasis that heaven is a place we can access while still alive on earth. You will see heaven revealed like never before. A diplomat that is cut-off from his home country is no longer fit to represent it. Dominion in life is your portion and you will receive fresh insight on how to walk in the grace that command resources. Read, learn and be blessed.

Fr Emmanuel Mbah leads us on this journey, sharing insights and wisdom accumulated over a lifetime spent in the service of God and his fellow man.

Download or read book Dominion written by Matthew Scully and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2003-10-08 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." --Genesis 1:24-26 In this crucial passage from the Old Testament, God grants mankind power over animals. But with this privilege comes the grave responsibility to respect life, to treat animals with simple dignity and compassion. Somewhere along the way, something has gone wrong. In Dominion, we witness the annual convention of Safari Club International, an organization whose wealthier members will pay up to $20,000 to hunt an elephant, a lion or another animal, either abroad or in American "safari ranches," where the animals are fenced in pens. We attend the annual International Whaling Commission conference, where the skewed politics of the whaling industry come to light, and the focus is on developing more lethal, but not more merciful, methods of harvesting "living marine resources." And we visit a gargantuan American "factory farm," where animals are treated as mere product and raised in conditions of mass confinement, bred for passivity and bulk, inseminated and fed with machines, kept in tightly confined stalls for the entirety of their lives, and slaughtered in a way that maximizes profits and minimizes decency. Throughout Dominion, Scully counters the hypocritical arguments that attempt to excuse animal abuse: from those who argue that the Bible's message permits mankind to use animals as it pleases, to the hunter's argument that through hunting animal populations are controlled, to the popular and "scientifically proven" notions that animals cannot feel pain, experience no emotions, and are not conscious of their own lives. The result is eye opening, painful and infuriating, insightful and rewarding. Dominion is a plea for human benevolence and mercy, a scathing attack on those who would dismiss animal activists as mere sentimentalists, and a demand for reform from the government down to the individual. Matthew Scully has created a groundbreaking work, a book of lasting power and importance for all of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the principle of dominion. Dominion is about is about overcoming in every aspect of life. Scripture says that, Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. Overcoming the world is about exercising dominion over the world and its systems.

Faith is the principle of dominion, that principle that gives you the victory to overcome, and keeping things under your control.

Faith literally puts your world in your hands, giving you the ability to determine your own fate. You can determine what happens to things around you through faith. Faith is that principle which causes you to subdue everything under you, and to become the commander of your life. It giving you the ability to determine the course of events for your life. Find how how dominion works through faith, and how you can exercise dominion in your life as God designed and ordained.
