This book reveals the limitations of Satan, how to resist him, and the tools that you need to spiritually draw closer to God through Jesus Christ. When you read this book, you will come to understand the crafty schemes that Satan uses to operate in the world and why you should never be afraid of him. This book will help you look at Satan through the eyes of Jesus Christ and come to the realization that Satan is afraid of humanity. In life, in order to fight and successfully defeat your enemies, you must first understand your enemies and their limitations. You must use weapons capable of destroying the forces of your enemies; otherwise, you will be fighting a lost battle. Jesus Christ is the light of God; in the garden of Eden, Satan disguised himself when he deceived Eve because he knew the strength and weakness of Eve; he also knew that to destroy Adam, you must go through Eve. Adam and Eve on the other hand were oblivious of Satan’s true identity, strength, and limitations which explains why they failed and subsequently gave birth to the sins of the world. In the wilderness, Satan did not try to disguise himself when he tempted Jesus Christ because Jesus was cognizant of Satan’s true identity, limitations, his source of strength, and what it takes to humiliate or resist him; Jesus knew exactly when and how to tell Satan to back off. When the giant Goliath attacked the Israelites, the young David with no warfare experience decided to confront Goliath because he knew and understood the limitations of the giant. From a supernatural standpoint, David knew that nothing is more powerful than the true living God. The truth is that Satan doesn’t want you to know that he is vulnerable, inferior to you, and afraid of humanity; he also doesn’t want you to know that he is fighting a lost battle. God has given you everything you need to resist and humiliate Satan because the battle was fought on the cross and Jesus Christ has overcome the world. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33. When you read this book, you will come to the conclusion that Satan is afraid of you. Jesus loves you.

Paradiseor the ordered universe or the cosmosbegan with the discovery of time and its revelation that the universe operates according to universal laws. As Earth's people endeavored to live in harmony with these newfound principles, Paradise evolved into a religion as well as a science, and its truths were meticulously recorded in the myths and symbols that are the archives of preliterate peoples worldwide. The Rise and Fall of Paradise follows Paradise from its distant prehistoric beginnings through the many millenniums of its evolution to its destruction in the Fall. Though now deemed irretrievably lost, enough of the ancient Paradise's scattered symbolism survives to offer an alternative perspective on how life might be lived on this Earth.

This expansive four-volume encyclopedia presents a broad introduction to Islam that enables learning about the fundamental role of Islam in world history and promotes greater respect for cultural diversity. One of the most popular and widespread religions in the world, Islam has attracted a great deal of attention in recent times, particularly in the Western world. With the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and a pervasive sense of hostility toward Arab Americans, there is ever increasing need to examine and understand Islam as a religion and historical force. Islam: A Worldwide Encyclopedia provides some 700 entries on Islam written by expert contributors that cover the religion from the birth of Islam to the present time. The set also includes 16 pages of color images per volume that serve to illustrate the diverse expressions of this important religious tradition. Each entry begins with a basic introduction, followed by a general discussion of the subject and a conclusion. Each entry also features a further readings list for readers. In addition to supplying a comprehensive, authoritative overview of Islam, this work also specifically addresses many controversial related issues, including jihad, violence in Islam, polygamy, and apostasy.

The Qur’an and the Aesthetics of Premodern Arabic Prose

This book approaches the Qur’an as a primary source for delineating the definition of ugliness, and by extension beauty, and in turn establishing meaningful tools and terms for literary criticism within the discipline of classical Arabic literature (adab). Focusing on the aesthetic dimension of the Qur’an, this methodology opens up new horizons for reading adab by reading the tradition from within the tradition and thereby examining issues of “decontextualisation” and the “untranslatable.” This approach, in turn, invites Comparatists, as well as Arabists, to consider other means and perspectives for approaching adab besides the Bakhtinian carnival. Applying this critical strategy to literary works as diverse as One Thousand and One Nights and The Epistle of Forgiveness, Sarah R. bin Tyeer aims to prove two major points: how Bakhtin’s aesthetics is anachronistic and therefore theoretically inappropriate when applied to certain literary works and how ultimately this literary methodology is sometimes used as a proxy for ungrounded and, sometimes, unfair arguments by other scholars. Foreword by Angelika Neuwirth, Professor of Quranic studies, Freie University, Berlin, Germany.
