Theta has successfully taken our planet’s core to power and fire her lasership at The Nexus Rift, causing our world to crumble. Join Zero and Team Axiom as they fight their most fierce enemy yet: nature itself. Will they prevail in their attempts to stabilize the Nexus Rift, or will it go supernova, destroying everything that we ever knew?

The Photurians - a hivemind of sentient AIs and machines - were awakened by humanity as part of a complex political trap. But they broke free, evolved, and now the human race is almost finished. Once we spanned dozens of star systems; now only four remain, and Earth is being evacuated. But the Photes can infect us, and among the thousands rescued from our home world may be enemy agents. Tiny colonies struggle to house the displaced. Our warships are failing. The end of humanity has come. But on a distant planet shielded from both humanity and the Photurians, one hope may still live. The only person who might be able to intervene. The roboteer. He is trapped in a hell of his own making, and does not know he is needed. And so a desperate rescue mission is begun. But can he be reached in time? Or will he be the last remnant of humanity in the universe?

Biblical study book that provides an analysis of the Book of Exodus and makes a comparison between the biblical accounts of the Hebrews in Exodus and the history of African slaves and their descendants in the United States.

The battle for the soul of our nation is not figurative. It is real. It is relentless. It is as fierce as the battle for our own souls and is being orchestrated by the same principalities of darkness. The Jethro Project serves as a national impetus for Christian engagement in American politics and highlights the urgency with which believers must fight the culture war being waged in our states and communities by serving across the full political spectrum. This approach is modeled on a biblical passage in Exodus chapter 18, where Jethro, Moses’s father-in-law, instructs Moses on the most effective way to lead the Israelites after the Exodus—by implementing a representative construct of governance composed of honorable and wise leaders. Author Scott Jenkins explores the merit of our biblically based representative government, the Christian influence that drove our founding in 1776, the true constitutional design and intent of the First Amendment regarding the relationship between church and state, the manner in which America has strayed from these fundamental principles to our own detriment, and the need to return to the original intent of our Founders who established this one nation under God. This commentary presents a call to action for Christians to come to the defense of their God-given liberties and secure the freedoms won for them by the patriots of 1776 through active participation in local, state, and national politics.

This “witty, heartfelt sci-fi romp” is the dazzling third installment in a diverse space opera series for fans of The Expanse and John Scalzi’s The Collapsing Empire—from a Hugo Award–winning author (Tor.com) The ancient alien gods are waking up—and there’s only one spaceship crew ready to stop them . . . Aliens known as the Liars gave humanity access to the stars through twenty-nine wormholes. They didn’t mention that other aliens, the ancient, tyrannical—but thankfully sleeping—Axiom occupied all the other systems. When the twenty-ninth fell silent, humanity chalked it up to radical separatists and moved on. But now, on board the White Raven, Captain Callie and her crew of Axiom-hunters receive word that the twenty-ninth colony may have met a very different fate. With their bridge generator, they skip past the wormhole—and discover another Axiom project, fully awake, and poised to pour through the wormhole gate into all the worlds of humanity . . .

An extensive geographical investigation of the biblical Exodus that focuses on the identity of the sea that parted for the Israelites. The analysis shows that the traditional terms, Red Sea or Reed Sea, clash with the meaning and geography of Yam Suph, the name of the sea in the Hebrew Bible. This work presents its true location and the details of the Exodus route needed to reach it.

Encapsulating as it does research that has been undertaken on the sociological, anthropological and political aspects of the history of ancient Israel, this important book is designed to follow in the tradition of works in the series sponsored by The Society for Old Testament Study which began with the publication of The People and the Book in 1925. The World of Ancient Israel is especially concerned to explore in greater depth than comparable studies the areas and degrees of overlap between approaches to the subject of Old Testament research adopted by scholars and students of theology and the social sciences. Increasing numbers of scholars have recognised the valuable insights that can be gained from a cross-disciplinary approach, and it is becoming clear that the early biblical traditions about the formation of the Israelite state must be examined in the light of comparative anthropology if useful historical conclusions are to be drawn from them.
