Newly translated from the Greek, Early Christian Writings contains the earliest and most venerable examples of this literature~the works of a group now known as The Apostolic Fathers. These men, who preserved the Apostles' teachings and tradition between the time of Christ and the end of the second century, include Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, Heras, Papias and the anonymous authors of The Epistle to Diognetus, The Epistle of Barnabas and The Didachus. Regarded as virtually equal to Holy Scripture by the nascent Church, these works are immensely valuable both historically and doctrinally. Written for the most part in the form of letters, they provide historians with the only available source from a dark era, and illuminate the emerging Church during a time when its powers and principles were still independent from the State. To the Apostolic Fathers the great truths of their faith were vital realities. As such Early Christian Writings has a genumely pastoral concern, stressing people over ideas and practice over dogma.

In Italy, recent scandals have toppled the government, and the echoes of that scandal continue to reverberate. In this incisive book, Stephen Knight goes behind the scenes of a tightly knit, all~male society, many of whose members hold very influential positions, all of whom are bound by fierce oaths of secrecy. Does Freemasonary discriminate in favor of its members when it comes to jobs, career promotions, and business? How compatible is Freemasonary with Christianity and Judaism? A large number of instances in this book show how and where masonic ideas of morality, charity, and fraternity have been abused. The secrecy that surrounds Freemasonary has traditionally been its greatest strength. Today it has become its own worst enemy. The revelations in this book will challenge many strongly held beliefs.

His two formidable opponents were King Harold of England and William of Normandy, otherwise known as William the Conqueror. King Harald's Saga tells the story of this famous leader who fought from Russia to Sicily, and how his claim to the throne of England was rewarded with 'seven feet of English soil'. This superb portrait is a part of the immense Heimskringla ('The Orb of the World'), a remarkable work of medieval history written some 170 years after Harald's death by the Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson. Sturluson sees history as a continual flow, a long chain of events connected to individual personalities. A portrait gallery of human aspirations and failings, his narrative is a vividly readable saga~history where every action corresponds to personal motivation and men are ruled by their emotions~principally love and hate or ambition and revenge, Sturluson reveals this Viking ruler's resourcefulness and cunning, and details both his gift for leadership and expertise in double~dealing. King Harald's Saga is a fascinating account of one of the central participants from a pivotal point in European history. SNORRI STURLUSON was born in 1179 and brought up at Oddi, the home of an aristocratic and cultured family in the south of Iceland (1181~1201). He then lived as a wealthy landowner, politician and lawyer, and was Lawspeaker of the Althing from 1215~18 and 1222~31. He visited Norway twice, 1218~20 (when he also went to Sweden) and 1237~9. In 1241 Snorri Sturluson was killed by his enemies. An outstanding personality of medieval Scandinavia and Iceland, he was the author of Egil 's Saga, and of Heimskringla, a history of the kings of Norway from the half~mythical origins of the dynasty down to the year 1177.

They chanted in the Stone Circles, observed the Fates through the movement of the sun and stars, passed judgement upon the transgressors of unwritten codes and offered fiery human sacrifice. They remain with us today in legend and in magic; faint voices from pre~Christian celtic religion. James Bonwick's classic work examines the history of the Irish Druids and old Irish religions through a wide variety of primary and secondary sources in religion, lore and literature. Documenting ancient controversies and examining changing beliefs, Bonwick comprehensively illuminates his subject from the days of oral tradition to the painstaking scholarship of the nineteenth century. This fascinating account includes such pivotal topics as Druidical Belief and Magic, Serpent Faith, Sun Worship, Stone Worship and the Round Tower Creed. Here is the controversial legend of Ossian the Bard, Chief of the Fenians, whose epic poetry was the equal of Homer's and how after 150 years of enchantment he met with St. Patrick, but ultimately rejected the new faith. We learn how shamrocks, oak and mistletoe~sacred plants which housed gods and spirits~were worshiped for magical & healing properties before they found their way into the Christian iconography of the Middle Ages. With time and the progress of civilization, nature worship and ritual became superstition and folklore, nature and magic were transformed into tradition and religion. Yet however far we are today from the ancient mythologies, they still embody religious and scientific truths. Irish Druids and Early Irish Religions is a valuable demonstration of how the concept of the Druid as keeper of the secret wisdom in the Celtic lands became part of occult lore. It is also an excellent guide to the history of Druidical magic and belief and the sources from which we draw our knowledge of Druids today.
