    Rome's Lost Son , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 694min
    Rome, AD 51: Vespasian brings Rome's greatest enemy before the emperor. After eight years of resistance, the British warrior Caratacus has been caught. But Agrippina, Emperor Claudius' wife, pardons Caratacus. Claudius is a drunken fool, and Narcissus and Pallas, his freedmen, are battling for control of his throne. Separately they decide to send Vespasian east to Armenia to defend Rome's interests. Meanwhile the East is in turmoil. A new Jewish cult is flourishing, and its adherents refuse to swear loyalty to the emperor. In Armenia, Vespasian is captured. Immured in the oldest city on Earth, how can he escape? And is a Rome ruled by a woman who despises Vespasian any safer than a prison cell? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Kenny.

    The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 752min
    In this new and substantially expanded Third Edition, Philip Jenkins continues to illuminate the remarkable expansion of Christianity in the global South - in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Drawing upon the extensive new scholarship that has appeared on this topic in recent years, he asks how the new Christianity is likely to affect the poor, among whom it finds its most devoted adherents. How should we interpret the enormous success of prosperity churches across the Global South? Politically, what will be the impact of new Christian movements? Will Christianity contribute to liberating the poor, to give voices to the previously silent, or does it threaten only to bring new kinds of division and conflict? Does Christianity liberate women, or introduce new scriptural bases for subjection? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Feifar.

    Astrophysics and the Middle Way, Hörbuch, Digital, 51min
    The parallels between science and mysticism are explored as Mansfield, a professor of physics and astronomy at Colgate University, speaks of how he as a physicist has been influenced by exposure to eastern philosophical systems, especially Buddhism. He talks about his association with the philosopher-mystic Paul Brunton and one of Brunton's principal adherents, Anthony Damiani. In the process, Mansfield provides numerous insights about the connection between the world of science and the realm of spirit. Pointing to the future, quantum physics may indeed provide a bridge to the spiritual. Vic Mansfield is Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Colgate University and is the author of Synchronicity, Science, and Soul-Making (Court Publishing 1995), Head and Heart: A Personal Exploration of Science and the Sacred (Quest Books 2002), and the forthcoming Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Science: Toward a Union of Love and Knowledge (Templeton Foundation Press 2008).

    The Martyr of the Catacombs: A Tale of Ancient Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
    A Tale of Ancient Rome brings to the fore the true essence of the Christian race. The history of the writing itself is illustrative of the route through which Faith has come from Christ to the present time: the route that has wound through shame and ridicule, but which, like the hero of the tale, is bound to lead to glory. To the many adherents of the faith who still wonder where devotion and dedication fled, and to those who joined the race out of a longing for satisfaction for their hungry souls, but who have since been fed hay and rye, this book is a single ray piercing through a dark cloud. It brings Christianity out of it's brittle contemporary cast, and put it in it's true perspective of hope and joy and tears and truth and grace. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
    In The Darkening Age, Catherine Nixey tells the little-known - and deeply shocking - story of how a militant religion deliberately tried to extinguish the teachings of the Classical world, ushering in unquestioning adherence to the 'one true faith'. The Roman Empire had been generous in embracing and absorbing new creeds. But with the coming of Christianity, everything changed. This new faith, despite preaching peace, was violent, ruthless and intolerant. And once it became the religion of empire, its zealous adherents set about the destruction of the old gods. Their altars were upturned, their temples demolished and their statues hacked to pieces. Books, including great works of philosophy and science, were consigned to the pyre. It was an annihilation.    PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.    ungekürzt.
