  • Moses’ Biography in the Koran, a Window on a Page of the History of Ancient Egypt

    by Al-aqqād Junior
    Al-aqqād Junior assumed the mantle of a professional archeologist, self-imposing the task of reassembling the disparate fragments of Moses' life's details from 346 verses of 22 chapters of the Koran that dates back to 632 CE. He arranged them contextually, logically and analytically, so that the resulting work takes readers and listeners through a compelling, historic, unembellished, virtually cinematic documentary reconstruction of what actually took place, leading up to, during and after the I... more

    The Theology of Estrangement and the Theology of Intimacy

    by N. D. Chambers
    This work challenges traditional theories of how and why the Pentateuch and the Gospels in the Bible were written. The first writer of the origins of Israel, called the Yahwist, was reacting to the tragedies of King David's reign. The murder of Abel by Cain was inspired by two of David's sons that murdered their older brothers. David's son Solomon's kingdom was based on elitism, which replaced David's more egalitarian society. The writer(s) who put the completed Pentateuch together were a prie... more
