Paperback. Condition: new. Design, Panage (illustrator). Paperback. What can we learn from the Christian martyrs of history? With believers in Christ Jesus being the most persecuted group in our modern world, the days of Christians being fed to lions may no longer be confined to the pages of history. Everywhere we look in today's world, especially in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, Christians are being brutally tortured and executed for their faith in Christ. In the West, many believers are labelled intolerant and bigoted, they are vilified and censored for professing their beliefs and are also increasingly suffering violence and imprisonment for exercising their faith. With mainstream sources having no compunction in blaspheming and maligning Christ Jesus, while promoting abortion, transgenderism and transhumanism, it is evident that we have reached the age of apostasy and the rise of Antichrist. In navigating modern times, it is instructive and useful to understand how those who suffered persecution in their generations dealt with the tyranny and oppression. N. Davies' book, Confessors of Faith, Lessons from the Lives of Martyrs, recounts powerful and harrowing testimonies from the lives of Christian martyrs over the past two millennia. It provides us with important insights and lessons for how true believers in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit should behave in times of violent persecution. The martyrs provide us with an example of courage, resilience, joy and true majesty while in the midst of great tribulation and brutality. The stories of the martyrs of Christendom are related in the context of the historic times in which they lived and by reference to the persecutors who inflicted violence upon the innocent confessors of faith. Through their accounts we find a pathway to victory in the eternal kingdom of heaven. All it requires is unwavering obedience and faith in the promises, the protection and the unfailing assistance of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Their experiences also serve as a reminder of the personal cost and sacrifice required to stand firm in one's faith in Christ. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condition: Gut. XXXVIII, 390 S., 1 weißes Blatt. Lederband der Zeit. Bei F.-V. Toussaints (1715-1772) philosophischem Hauptwerk handelt es sich um einen Klassiker der Aufklärung, zugleich "angeblich das gefährlichste Buch, welches jemals ein Freigeist wider Staat und Religion verfaßt hat" (Hayn/Gotendorf: Bibliotheca Germanorum Erotica & Curiosa VII, 324). Sein Eintreten für eine natürliche, vom Glauben unabhängige Moral führte auf Druck der Kirche rasch zum Verbot des Buches und zur Verbrennung der beschlagnahmten Exemplare. Der Autor floh unter den Schutz Friedrichs des Großen nach Berlin, während sein Werk überall in Europa nachgedruckt und verbreitet wurde. Das hintere Rückengelenk oben und unten jeweils ca. 2 cm aufgeplatzt, die Vorblätter mit alter Kritzelei in Tinte. Mit 2 alten Namenszügen sowie das Titelblatt rückseitig mit Adelsstempel (und der Devise "extus ut intus"). Eingangs etwas fleckig, insgesamt handelt es sich jedoch um ein noch gut erhaltenes Exemplar dieses klassischen Textes der französischen Aufklärung.

Reliure en plein veau brun marbré d'époque. Dos lisse orné. Pièce de titre en maroquin rouge. Mors inférieur ouvert en queue. Manques et trous le long du mors inférieur. Un coin émoussé. Un essai sur les vertus, dont on sait qu'il furent innombrables au XVIIIe, celui-ci renfermant des qualités particulières ; se rangeant d'emblée dans le mouvement des Lumières en rejetant le fait que les vertus soient l'apanage d'une seule religion, l'auteur s'adresse à tous les hommes, stigmatisant les nantis, la position sociale et le modèle de l'honnête homme du XVIIe, car l'ouvrage est une critique de la société contemporaine sur fond d'essai sur les vertus. La préface, qui prend à contrepied l'exercice, annonce avec sincérité l'amour propre de l'auteur et son dessein. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, illustrated with a frontispiece, a title vignette repeated on the three title pages, and three title vignettes. Contemporary full marbled brown calf binding. Smooth spine decorated. Red morocco title label. Lower joint open at foot. Lacks and holes along the lower joint. One corner bumped. An essay on virtues, of which we know there were countless in the 18th century, this one containing particular qualities; immediately aligning itself with the Enlightenment movement by rejecting the notion that virtues are the privilege of a single religion, the author addresses all men, stigmatizing the wealthy, social position and the model of the honest man of the 17th century, for the work is a critique of contemporary society against the backdrop of an essay on virtues. The preface, which runs counter to the exercise, sincerely announces the author's self-love and his design. *.

Condition: Buono (Good). 0. Manoscritto su carta pergamenacea (mm 170x115); Pagine 792 con numerazione antica a penna in alto a destra con 1 cc.nn. del titolo. Bella e chiara grafia di una sola mano. Titolo racchiuso da doppio filetto nero, come pure numerose pagine del testo. Legatura in pergamena coeva, titoli manoscritti sul dorso "I Costumi". Ex-libris ms "Dini". Il Toussaint, nato a Parigi nel 1715 morì a Berlino nel 1772. Seguì gli studi Giuridici per lasciarli poi per le Lettere. Collaborò all'Enciclopedia per la parte riguardante la giurisprudenza. Di sentimenti Giansenisti pubblicò nel 1748 "Costumi", la prima opera, secondo La Harpe: ".in cui uno scrittore si sia proposto un disegno di morale naturale libero da ogni credenza religiosa e da ogni culto esteriore". Il libro fu lasciato circolare liberamente fino a quando l'autore non pubblicò "Schiarimenti" che giustificavano alcuni punti della sua dottrina. Il libro e la sua dottrina furono condannati al fuoco. Risulta che l'opera ebbe traduzioni in lingua inglese e tedesca, ma non venne mai tradotta in Italia. Questa traduzione manoscritta italiana (1766), sulla seconda edizione francese del 1748 è sicuramente opera di un grosso personaggio del Giansenismo italiano che si nasconde sotto la sigla "C.G.M.".
