Two people possess the combined skills to follow where the document leads: American cybersleuth Gil Pearson and Sabbie Karaim, former Israeli commando and biblical translator. But what awaits them on their strange odyssey across the globe and through two thousand years of history is both an indescribable treasure and an unrelenting terror. For all manner of zealots and devils are after the secrets they seek—to own the power to destroy the world we know.

Download or read book The 13th Apostle written by Dermot McEvoy and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story—both romantic and terrifying—of how a handful of men, armed with nothing more than handguns and guts, forced the greatest nation in the world from their shores. On Easter Monday, April 24, 1916, the first great revolution of the twentieth century began as working-class men and women occupied buildings throughout Dublin, Ireland, including the general post office on O’Connell Street. Among the commoners in the GPO was a young staff captain of the Irish Volunteers named Michael Collins. He was joined a day later by a fourteen-year-old messenger boy, Eoin Kavanagh. Four days later they would all surrender, but they had struck the match that would burn Great Britain out of Ireland for the first time in seven hundred years. The 13th Apostle is the reimagined story of how Michael Collins, along with his young acolyte Eoin, transformed Ireland from a colony into a nation. Collins’s secret weapon was his intelligence system and his assassination squad, nicknamed “The Twelve Apostles.” On November 21, 1920, the squad—with its thirteenth member, young Eoin—assassinated the entire British Secret Service in Dublin. Twelve months and sixteen days later, Collins signed the Treaty at 10 Downing Street, which brought into being what is, today, the Republic of Ireland. An epic novel in the tradition of Thomas Flanagan’s The Year of the French and Leon Uris’s Trinity, The 13th Apostle is a story that will capture the imagination and hearts of freedom-loving readers everywhere.

Download or read book Apostle written by Tom Bissell and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Twelve Apostles is the story of early Christianity: its competing versions of Jesus’s ministry, its countless schisms, and its ultimate evolution from an obscure Jewish sect to the global faith we know today in all its forms and permutations. In his quest to understand the underpinnings of the world’s largest religion, Tom Bissell embarks on a years-long pilgrimage to the apostles’ supposed tombs, traveling from Jerusalem and Rome to Turkey, Greece, Spain, France, India, and Kyrgyzstan. Along the way, Bissell uncovers the mysterious and often paradoxical lives of these twelve men and how their identities have taken shape over the course of two millennia. Written with empathy and a rare acumen—and often extremely funny—Apostle is an intellectual, spiritual, and personal adventure fit for believers, scholars, and wanderers alike.

Download or read book The Fate of the Apostles written by Sean McDowell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Martyrs by John Foxe written in the 16th century has long been the go-to source for studying the lives and martyrdom of the apostles. Whilst other scholars have written individual treatments on the more prominent apostles such as Peter, Paul, John, and James, there is little published information on the other apostles. In The Fate of the Apostles, Sean McDowell offers a comprehensive, reasoned, historical analysis of the fate of the twelve disciples of Jesus along with the apostles Paul, and James. McDowell assesses the evidence for each apostle’s martyrdom as well as determining its significance to the reliability of their testimony. The question of the fate of the apostles also gets to the heart of the reliability of the kerygma: did the apostles really believe Jesus appeared to them after his death, or did they fabricate the entire story? How reliable are the resurrection accounts? The willingness of the apostles to die for their faith is a popular argument in resurrection studies and McDowell offers insightful scholarly analysis of this argument to break new ground within the spheres of New Testament studies, Church History, and apologetics.

Download or read book The Gospel of Judas Second Edition written by Rodolphe Kasser and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 1,600 years its message lay hidden. When the bound papyrus pages of this lost gospel finally reached scholars who could unlock its meaning, they were astounded. Here was a gospel that had not been seen since the early days of Christianity, and which few experts had even thought existed–a gospel told from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, history’s ultimate traitor. And far from being a villain, the Judas that emerges in its pages is a hero. In this radical reinterpretation, Jesus asks Judas to betray him. In contrast to the New Testament Gospels, Judas Iscariot is presented as a role model for all those who wish to be disciples of Jesus and is the one apostle who truly understands Jesus. Discovered by farmers in the 1970s in Middle Egypt, the codex containing the gospel was bought and sold by antiquities traders, secreted away, and carried across three continents, all the while suffering damage that reduced much of it to fragments. In 2001, it finally found its way into the hands of a team of experts who would painstakingly reassemble and restore it. The Gospel of Judas has been translated from its original Coptic to clear prose, and is accompanied by commentary that explains its fascinating history in the context of the early Church, offering a whole new way of understanding the message of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book The Thirteen Apostles written by Joseph Patrick Oyone Meye and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prophet Joseph Patrick Oyone Meye brings a complete summary of each of the gripping moments of the life and Epistles of St. Paul into a single account and so gives us a living picture of the Apostle himself and the circumstances by which he was surrounded. The short biography of the Apostle is compiled from the Bible within two sources: First, his own letters, and secondly, the narrative in the Acts of the Apostles. The latter, after a slight sketch of his early history, supplies us with details of his middle life; and his Epistles afford much subsidiary information concerning his missionary labors during the same period. This book is an outstanding text on the Apostle Paul, his times and lands in which he labored to bring the Gospel of Christ, and also a way to personalize Jesus AFTER His resurrection through the life and words of St. Paul, Apostle Thirteen. This in the attempt to gift all of us alive today and future generations with insights that bring our understanding about Christ into better focus. About the author: ABOUT PROPHET JOSEPH: My name is Prophet Joseph Patrick Oyone Meye and am a servant of Abba ! Father God Almighty, made scribe of Jesus Christ, and a Minister of the Word. I am called by the grace of Almighty God, to be a Prophet unto HIM for the Nations to the Nations, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father. I was born a native of Gabon, in west central Africa, and was the former #1 tennis & Davis Cup player in the country for several years. I was summoned to leave my country for Paris France to pursuit my tennis career, and there the Lord began to get my attention in many ways. However, it was in Gabon that I felt a calling on my life but in Paris France as the Lord was continually getting my attention; I knew for certain that God wanted to do something with me but did not understand it. God caused me to leave Paris France to come to the United States of America where the Lord Christ Jesus revealed my calling as a Prophet unto Him and thus Anointed me to the office of Prophet and ever since I have been forged by my commitment unto Him. I am married to Evangelist Nostalia Oyone Meye, and we live in Los Angeles California. We believe in the entire Bible (66 Books) as the Sacred Writings breathed out by God through human being divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit for the sake of our Salvation, revealing God s Will to Mankind by which through Christ, man might in the Holy Spirit have access to HIM and came to share in the Divine Nature through this revelation. Amen FUNCTION & DESCRIPTION: Workmanship for Christ Jesus but Independent in the Religious Institution, principally in the Body of Christ.Prophet, Seer, called and Anointed by Almighty God to the office of Prophet. Received from God through Christ by the Holy Spirit a unique perspective and understanding of the will of God over the lives of individuals, career, ministries, communities and nations.
