Download or read book Lesser Known People of The Bible Black Women written by Dante Fortson and published by Dante Fortson. This book was released on with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only is the Bible full of strong women… it is full of strong black women. While it is often underplayed by mainstream Christianity, the majority of the Bible took place in Africa, and involved many women of color. In this study we'll look at the lives and lineages of the following women: + Hagar - Abraham's Egyptian wife. + Tamar - The Canaanite mother of Judah's twin sons. + Miriam - The older sister of Moses + Zipporah - Moses' Midianite wife. + Bathsheba - King Solomon's Canaanite mother. + Jezebel - King Ahab's wife from the line of Ham. + The Queen of Sheba - The Ethiopia queen that came to visit King Solomon. + Mary Magdalene - The woman with seven devils cast out by Christ. The presence of these women in the Bible is often a sticking point for many because most of them descended from the line of Ham. Those that didn't come from the line of Ham were Hebrews, which were often mistaken as descendants of Ham. If you've never done a study on who these women are, which lines they come from, and the roles they play in history, then make sure you grab this book.

This book was released on 2015-09-14 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians consider the biblical account about Chedorlaomer's campaign against Sodom (1954 BCE) as a pious fiction. However, the Gospels refer to it as a real story (Heb 7:1) and a chronological reconstruction based on synchronisms shows that, among dynasties from Sumerian lists, the 3rd and last Elamite king of the Awan I dynasty was Kudur-Lagamar (1990-1954). The Spartoli tablets (c. 650 BCE) describe this famous attack of Babylonia by a coalition of evil kings named Kudur-KUKUmal, king of Elam, Tudḫula, king of Gutium, and Eri-Aku [king of Larsa]. The route of Chedorlaomer and the description of his actions show that this king came to this region near Egypt in order to maintain control over this new land trade route. This ambitious project had to have worried Amenemhat I because southern Canaan was a big source of supply. In order to protect Egypt, Amenemhat I built the "Walls of the Ruler". One can notice that the area of Sodom was called Sutu[m] in execration texts (then Moab after 1800 BCE).

Download or read book Hammurabi of Babylon written by Dominique Charpin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hammurabi was the sixth king of ancient Babylon and also its greatest. Expanding the role and influence of the Babylonian city-state into an imperium that crushed its rivals and dominated the entire fertile plain of Mesopotamia, Hammurabi (who ruled c. 1792-1750 BCE) transformed a minor kingdom into the regional superpower of its age. But this energetic monarch, whose geopolitical and military strategies were unsurpassed in his time, was more than just a war-leader or empire-builder. Renowned for his visionary Code of Laws, Hammurabi's famous codex - written on a stele in Akkadian, and publicly displayed so that all citizens could read it - pioneered a new kind of lawmaking. The Code's 282 specific legal injunctions, alleged to have been divinely granted by the god Marduk, remain influential to this day, and offer the historian fascinating parallels with the biblical Ten Commandments. Dominique Charpin is one of the most distinguished modern scholars of ancient Babylon. In this fresh and engaging appraisal of one of antiquity's iconic figures, he shows that Hammurabi, while certainly one of the most able rulers in the whole of prehistory, was also responsible for pivotal developments in the history of civilization.
