The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Adolph Saphir's classic meditation on chapter four, verse eight of the Book of James is treasured for its poignant spiritual assessment of the New Testament. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." is the message at the heart of The Hidden Life. For the author, these words summarize most perfectly the exactness of God's message through the New Testament. With this as his basis, Adolph Saphir proceeds to discuss how to live with the Holy Trinity in mind. Yet his contemplations are rich in their variety; he visits such topics as Eastern mysticism found in religions of India and Islam, the discussions between God and Biblical figures such as Nicodemus, and the message brought by Christ to humankind. The meditations herein are supported by references to chapters of the New Testament, together with a variety of quotations from spiritual authors of antiquity and early modern times. Though his inquiry is winding with touches of eclecticism, Saphir never loses sight of the objective: growing closer to the spiritual essence of the Lord and Jesus Christ. The Saphir family converted from Judaism to Christianity when Adolph was a child. Intellectually apt, Adolph gained a Master's degree from Glasgow University, and went on to serve as a minister and missionary of some renown in the 19th century. Glasgow University made him an honorary Doctor of Divinity in 1878.

Following the Jewish Enlightenment, many eighteenth-century Jews chose not to observe the religious laws and customs that had earlier marked them as culturally different from their Christian peers. As the Jewish population became increasingly assimilated, an ultraorthodox movement also emerged, creating a discrete identity for a group within the Jewish community that opted not to move toward the mainstream but instead to embrace the traditional laws .By tracing the evolution of the approach of the Orthodox to their nonpracticing brethren, Adam S. Ferziger sheds new light on the emergence of Orthodoxy as a specific movement within modern Jewish society. In the course of this process, German Orthodoxy in particular articulated a new hierarchical vision of Jewish identity and the structure of modern Jewish society. Viewing Orthodox Judaism as no less a nineteenth-century phenomenon than Reform Judaism or Zionism, Ferziger looks at the ways it defined itself by its relationship to the nonobservant Jewish population. Ferziger argues that as the Orthodox movement emerged, it rejected the stance that the assimilated and nonobservers were deviant outcasts. Instead, they were accepted as legitimate members of a Jewish community, in which Orthodox Jews occupied the pinnacle, as the guardians of its tradition. This book's contribution, however, moves beyond a historical study of Orthodox Judaism. The sociological methodology that Ferziger employs enables the reader to appreciate how other religious groups have sought to carve out their places within the mosaic of modern society.

"Too often the study of philosophical texts is carried out in ways that do not pay significant attention to how the ideas contained within them are presented, articulated, and developed. This was not always the case. The contributors to this collected work consider Jewish philosophy in the medieval period, when new genres and forms of written expression were flourishing in the wake of renewed interest in ancient philosophy. Many medieval Jewish philosophers were highly accomplished poets, for example, and made conscious efforts to write in a poetic style. This volume turns attention to the connections that medieval Jewish thinkers made between the literary, the exegetical, the philosophical, and the mystical to shed light on the creativity and diversity of medieval thought. As they broaden the scope of what counts as medieval Jewish philosophy, the essays collected here consider questions about how an argument is formed, how text is put into the service of philosophy, and the social and intellectual environment in which philosophical texts were produced."-- Back cover.

E. Howard Hunt, who sued this author for writing about his involvement in the JFK assassination or "The Big Event" confessed to being part of the crew and named Frank Fiorini Sturgis as one of principals; Coup D'Etat in America was the book that inspired Congressman Henry Gonzalez to introduce a bill in Congress that led to the formation of House Select Committee on Assassinations. This is a longer updated version. It is based on the theory that the three tramps who were picked up about an hour after the Kennedy Assassination (not to be confused with the three real bums who were picked up right after the big event - Oliver Buck Revell of FBI Dallas FO floated this story to discredit the tramp theory) were E. Howard Hunt, CIA official who was instrumental in the overthrow of Arbenz of Guatemala and was deeply involved in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Frank Fiorini Sturgis, a leader of Operation 40 which involved assassinating all the Communists and their families in Cuba after Castro was deposed, and David Lemar Christ, who was locked up and tortured by Castro for bugging the ChiCom wire service and released in April 1963 in a prisoner exchange. It also documents the part that James Angleton played in Oswald's defection to the Soviet Union and Oswald's role in sabotaging an upcoming USSR USA Summit conference. Coup is based on years and years of research at NARA, Federal Court houses, personal interviews and the information I bought from Gerry Patrick Hemming, the man who brought Oswald into the mix and had him believing that he was running a counter-intelligence operation against the Cubans by trying to visit Cuba, by forming the Fair Play for Cuba Committee and other of Oswald's shenanigans. Hemming offered Oswald twice the cost of his rifle and told him to bring it to the TSBD on November 22, 1963. Oswald didn't have a clue that the big event was going down. Hemming tried to set me up for a fall to work off a beef. He said he knew of a lab where the Yippies could construct an atomic IED. Just taking a step in that direction is conspiracy. I told him my name was no Oswald. Coup also documents Jack Ruby's part in the conspiracy as the CIA and the Mafia had worked together to assassinate Fidel Castro. But Jack's flunkie Tippet messed up because Oswald had realized he was a patsy in the big event by this time and took Tippet out before Tippet could take him out as Ruby had ordered. Oswald had heard Hemming talk about scenarios where patsy's get blown away and suddenly realize that his old Marine buddy had set him up. This book in constantly being updated.

"Until the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Slovakia's identity seemed inextricably linked with that of the former state. This book explores the key moments and themes in the history of Slovakia from the Duchy of Nitra's ninth-century origins to the establishment of independent Slovakia at midnight 1992-1993. Leading scholars chart the gradual ethnic awakening of the Slovaks during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation and examine how Slovak national identity took shape with the codification of standard literary Slovak in 1843 and the subsequent development of the Slovak national movement. They show how, after a thousand years of Magyar-Slovak coexistence, Slovakia became part of the new Czechoslovak Republic from 1918-1939 and shed new light on its role as a Nazi client state as well as on the postwar developments leading up to full statehood in the aftermath of the collapse of Communism in 1989. There is no comparable book in English on the subject"--Provided by publisher.
