Book Description

Rack Tedder and Robin Spindley, close friends and neighbors, are your average, typical grade-schoolers. That is until Rack practically stumbled on a rock on one of their many explorations of the forest on their way to home and discovered two glowing spheres hidden under the rock. Suddenly, Rack and Robin found themselves transformed into masked superheroes with near limitless abilities. Just in time, because bearing down on Earth with his alien army is a powerful force intent on conquering and enslaving all the peoples and inhabited planets in the universe in his quest for galactic dominance. Soon Rack and Robin, with the aid and guidance of a guardian of the universe, have to fight Hagfoth and several of planetary armies with its highly advance technology. Along with their powers, Rack and Robin must not only face several interplanetary battles but uncover several hidden secrets as well. For example, maybe there is more to their families than it seems and maybe aliens are not so rare on Earth.

Book Description

The Book of Judith tells the story of a fictitious Jewish woman beheading the general of the most powerful imaginable army to free her people. The parabolic story was set as an example of how God will help the righteous. Judith's heroic action not only became a validating charter myth of Judaism itself but has also been appropriated by many Christian and secular groupings, and has been an inspiration for numerous literary texts and works of art. It continues to exercise its power over artists, authors and academics and is becoming a major field of research in its own right. The Sword of Judith is the first multidisciplinary collection of essays to discuss representations of Judith throughout the centuries. It transforms our understanding across a wide range of disciplines. The collection includes new archival source studies, the translation of unpublished manuscripts, the translation of texts unavailable in English, and Judith images and music.

Book Description

Cuneiform records made some three thousand years ago are the basis for this essay on the ideas of death and the afterlife and the story of the flood which were current among the ancient peoples of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley. With the same careful scholarship shown in his previous volume, The Babylonian Genesis, Heidel interprets the famous Gilgamesh Epic and other related Babylonian and Assyrian documents. He compares them with corresponding portions of the Old Testament in order to determine the inherent historical relationship of Hebrew and Mesopotamian ideas.
