Mountain at a Center of the World
At the pilgrimage site of Adam’s Peak in Sri Lanka, a footprint is embedded atop the mountain summit. Buddhists hold that it was left by the Buddha, Hindus say Lord Siva, and Muslims and Christians identify it with Adam, the first man. The Sri Lankan state, for its part, often uses the Peak as a prop to convey a harmonious image of religious pluralism, despite increasing Buddhist hegemony. How should the diversity of this place be understood historically and managed practically?Considering the varied heritage of this sacred site, Alexander McKinley develops a new account of pluralism based in political ecology, representing the full array of actors and issues on the mountain. From its diverse people to rare species to deep geology, the Peak exemplifies a planetary pluralism that recognizes a multiplicity of beings while accepting competition and disorder. Taking a place-based approach, McKinley casts the mountain as an actor, exploring how its rocks, forests, and waters promote pilgrimage, inspire storytelling, and make ethical demands on human communities. Combining history and ethnography while furnishing original translations of sources from Pali, Sinhala, and Tamil, this multidisciplinary and stylistically innovative book shows how religious traditions share literal common ground in their reverence for the mountain.

God Of Reality
In recognition of their global reach as ubiquitous features of the human condition, this book endeavours to make a contribution towards the modernization of religion, spirituality and God - meaning, not a supernatural God, and yet a God that is both super and natural. In fact the God of Reality, relevant for the future as well as today. Consequently, instead of participating in the endless arguments for or against the existence of the God of Tradition, it is a book that highlights the divine, godly and spiritual in many areas of human activity. Alexander Peter Dukes is a barrister-at-law, and a member of the Inner Temple at the Inns of Court in London. Following a career as a constitutional lawyer, he is now a writer of aphorisms and aphoristic poetry on a wide variety of subjects.

Pacifist Option
In this path-breaking study, Fr. Alexander Webster convincingly demonstrates that a distinctive pacifist trajectory, characterized by the moral virtues of non-violence, nonresistance, voluntary kenotic suffering, and universal forgiveness, has endured through two millennia of Eastern Orthodox history in unbroken continuity with the ancient Church. Webster consults a vast array of primary texts including Holy Scripture, patristic writing through the Byzantine era that terminated in AD 1453, Orthodox canon law from the Seven Ecumenical Councils and other Byzantine Greek legal sources among others. Of interest to historians and to students of theology and religion.

Perfective Rites and Other Writings of Alexander Wilder
This is the fourth volume of a series of Collected Writings of Alexander Wilder, 410 pages, Preface and Index. The 56 Wilder articles here include 8 from Johnson's "The Platonist" and "Blibliotheca Platonica," with Wilder's series "Platonic Technology" which is a glossary of 265 terms important in Greek Philosophy. Other articles include "Bacchus the Prophet-God," "Paul the Founder of Christianity," "Hebrew and Christian Occultism," "The Religions of Ancient Greece and Rome," and "A Study of Plato's Phaedo." Wilder was one of the best students of Platonism and Ancient History of his time, and there is much information on the Eleusinian, Cabeirien, Bacchic/Dionysian, Egyptian and Mithraic Mysteries. He was editor of H.P. Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled" and she held that only Wilder and Thomas Taylor had a deep intuition on Platonic subjects.

Pursuit of Godliness
The Pursuit of Godliness argues that holiness or sanctification is not something that someone achieves, but entails something a person becomes. Donald L. Alexander defines sanctification as God's taking possession of people in Christ and setting them apart by restoring the character traits originally present in the creature created in God's image. He derives evidence from the Bible that this restoration lies in the fruit of the Spirit and that Christ died not only to bring an end to sin but also to bring about a newness of life. Alexander places the biblical teaching on sanctification within the context of personal spiritual maturity, rather than as an obligation to fulfill specific religious requirements. He suggests that a developmental connection exists between spiritual formation and personal maturity. This approach connecting sanctification with personal development brings about a new and suggestive understanding of sanctification.

Missions: The Chief End of the Christian Church – Why Missionaries Matter
Alexander Duff explains how and why missionary work stands at the very heart and purpose of the organized Christian church. For the author, the establishment and undertaking of church missions is a pursuit which must be undertaken with greater energy and priority. The aim of the mission - to spread the word of Jesus Christ across the world - is encapsulated in the Bible quotations that populate the pages of this simple yet rousing work. Simply put, God's word and spiritual truth is meant for all nations - Christianity's holy doctrine cannot be confined to a region or select continents. Rather the message of Christ as the Messiah should be spread and established in all corners of the Earth. The Bible alludes to the world in this context, with the New Testament and words of Jesus himself vowing to spread the truth of the message to all places.

Two Babylons: or the Papal Worship Proved to Be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife: With Sixty-One Wood-cut Illustrations from Nineveh, Babylon, Egypt, Pompeii, &c. (Hardcover)
Alexander Hislop's memorable work, wherein he theorizes that the Catholic church is a covert continuation of the ancient Babylonian belief systems, offers a colorful interpretation of pagan traditions. This edition includes the original drawings. From the outset, Hislop claims to have unearthed proof that the papal office is a refined, veiled presentation of Babylonian worship. Specifically, the hunter Nimrod and his wife are the actual influencer of Catholicism, rather than Christ and Christian beliefs. In support of his hypothesis, Hislop attaches more than sixty drawings comparing Babylonian idols and aesthetics with those adopted by the Catholic creed - these, say Hislop, prove that the church is not an authentic organization which supports God or Jehovah, but a systematically pagan outfit. Today, Hislop's claims are generally considered as lacking in value or veracity by most scholars and theologians, with Hislop's interpretations of Babylonian culture and lore dismissed as inaccurate and fanciful.
