Arguably the single most important element in Abrahamic cross-confessional relations has been an ongoing mutual interest in perennial spiritual and ethical exemplars of one another’s communities. Ranging from Late Antiquity through the Middle Ages, Crossing Confessional Boundaries explores the complex roles played by saints, sages, and Friends of God in the communal and intercommunal lives of Christians, Muslims, and Jews across the Mediterranean world, from Spain and North Africa to the Middle East to the Balkans. By examining these stories in their broad institutional, social, and cultural contexts, Crossing Confessional Boundaries reveals unique theological insights into the interlocking histories of the Abrahamic faiths.

Interdisciplinary studies are increasingly widely recognised as being among the most fruitful approaches to generating original perspectives on the medieval past. In this major collection of 27 papers, contributors transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries to offer new approaches to a number of themes ranging in time from late antiquity to the high Middle Ages. The main focus is on material culture, but also includes insights into the compositional techniques of Bede and the Beowulf-poet, and the strategies adopted by anonymous scribes to record information in unfamiliar languages. Contributors offer fresh insights into some of the most iconic survivals from the period, from the wooden doors of Sta Sabina in Rome to the Ruthwell Cross, and from St Cuthbert’s coffin to the design of its final resting place, the Romanesque cathedral at Durham. Important thematic surveys reveal early medieval Welsh and Pictish carvers interacting with the political and intellectual concerns of the wider Insular and continental world. Other contributors consider what it is to be Viking, revealing how radically present perceptions shape our understanding of the past, how recent archaeological work reveals the inadequacy of the traditional categorisation of the Vikings as ‘incomers’, and how recontextualising Viking material culture can lead to unexpected insights into famous historical episodes such as King Edgar’s boat trip on the Dee. Recent landmark finds, notably the runic-inscribed Saltfleetby spindle whorl and the sword pommel from Beckley, are also published here for the first time in comprehensive analyses which will remain the fundamental discussions of these spectacular objects for many years to come.This book will be indispensable reading for everyone interested in medieval culture.

Sanctified Aggression allies itself neither with the easy assumption that religions are by definition violent (and that only the secular/humanist/humane can offer a place of refuge from the ravages of religious authority) nor with the equally facile opposing view that religion expresses the "best" of human aspirations and that this best is always capable of diffusing or sublating the worst. Rather, it works from the premise that biblical, Jewish and Christian vocabularies continue to resonate, inspire and misfire. Some of the essays here explore how these vocabularies and symbols have influenced, or resonate with, events such as the massacre of Jews in Jedwabne, Poland (1941), the Rwandan Massacre (1994), the tragedy at Columbine High School (1999) and the emergence of the "Phineas Priesthood" of white supremacists in North America. Other contributors examine how themes of martyrology, sacrifice and the messianic continue to circulate and mutate in literature, music, drama and film. The collective conclusion is that it is not possible to control biblical and religious violence by simply identifying canonical trouble-spots, then fencing them off with barbed wire or holding peace summits around them. Nor is it always possible to draw clear lines between problem and non-problem texts, witnesses and perpetrators, victims and aggressors or "reality" and "art".

“ Book Endorsement” To write about this book brings me honor and joy. For these recollections clearly show the greatness, ability, love, and protection of the Lord. To Him be the glory. It also shows the greatness of what Engineer Samy Hanna Ibrahim did in the October 1973 war. After he himself ascended it, he penetrated the high earth wall and crossed the Egyptian forces assigned to his crossing access from the west of the Suez Canal to the eastern shore. Thus, he contributed to the victory of a war, which returned Sinai to Egypt. That return changed Egypt for the better after its setback in June 1967. Dr. Mufeed Ibrahim Said, retired professor of surgery and former chair of the department of surgery, at Cairo University, Arab Republic of Egypt I am pleased to present to the reader this book whose author aims with every story, in every situation, and at every memory to testify about God's continuous work, steadfast support, and God's ever-flowing grace. The book recounts the life story of an ordinary person who placed himself, his being, and the details of his life in the hands of God. We go on a journey with the writer, in which he takes us to the different stations of his life, especially the period he spent as an officer in the Egyptian Armed Forces during the glorious October War in 1973. --Dr. Rev. Youssef Samir Senior Pastor of the Evangelical Church in Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt

“Crossing the Abyss” is the highest form of spiritual manifestation, a universal law, in which soul slowly ascends, towards highest states of consciousness, Self in relationship to the movements of the “Celestial Kingdom” in which Reality is undeniable. All Abrahamic religions go back to the ultimate experience of Self, “I” in which truth is unified in One. “Behold, thou art one in me, a Son of God; and thus, may all become my sons Amen.” Moses 6:68. This book is an evidence based on facts and real life experiences on what lies ahead, as we may have engaged ourselves in self destructive practices in meeting the challenges of this millennium. It answers the very question about truth, as the highest form of divinity present in every human being and not a hypocritical function of blind faith, practiced by religion. Transcending mortality into immortality an “Aryan Kshatriya” of a warrior class scaling strength in character, annihilation in traits and on path to self-realization, made an Atonement post 9/11.

An exhilarating conversion story of a devout Baptist who relates how he overcame his hostility to the Catholic Church by a combination of serious Bible study and vast research of the writings of the early Church Fathers. In addition to a moving account of their conversion that caused Ray and his wife to "cross the Tiber" to Rome, he offers an in-depth treatment of Baptism and the Eucharist in Scripture and the ancient Church. Thoroughly documented with hundreds of footnotes, this contains perhaps the most complete compilation of biblical and patristic quotations and commentary available on Baptism and the Eucharist, as well as a detailed analysis of Sola Scriptura and Tradition. "This is really three books in one that offers not only a compelling conversion story, but documented facts that are likely to cinch many other conversions." - Karl Keating "A very moving and astute story. I am enormously impressed with Ray's candor, courage and theological literacy." - Thomas Howard Stephen K. Ray was raised in a devout and loving Baptist family. His father was a deacon and Bible teacher, and Stephen was very involved in the Baptist Church as a teacher of Biblical studies. After an in-depth study of the writings of the Church Fathers, both Steve and his wife Janet converted to the Catholic Church. He is the host of the popular, award-winning film series on salvation history, The Footprints of God. Steve is also the author of the best-selling books Upon This Rock, and St. John's Gospel.
