Since the beginning of time, the Derelict has been trapped within the confines of Forbidden Space. Only the most ancient races in the Universe know of its existence and that of the darkness concealed on board. The Derelict was supposed to be an enigma that was to forever remain unsolved. However, for xeno-archeologist Dr. Thomas London and the crew of Union Acquisition Team Phoenix, the Derelict was about to become their next assignment. Known as the best at acquiring rare artifacts of dead alien civilizations, Team Phoenix becomes the prime target of a plot to secure the secrets from the Universe's most coveted mystery. To acquire the Derelict, London and his team will have to challenge a pantheon of the Universe's most revered race, the Star Gods, with the survival of the Universe hanging on the outcome.

Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap., and Daniel A. Keating introduce readers to one the key thinkers of the fourth century and the chief architect of Christian doctrine: Athanasius. The authors carefully illuminate Athanasius‘s crucial text Against the Arians, unfolding the Trinitarian and incarnation framework of Athanasius‘s paramount concern (soteriology), and providing, in the second part, a robust map of the reception and influence of Athanasius‘s thought-from its immediate impact on the late fourth and fifth centuries (in the Cappadocians and Cyril) to its significance in the Eastern and Western traditions and its reception in contemporary thought.

In our quest for purpose, we go through an arduous journey through a maze of familial, societal & cultural conditioning. Courage, valor, respect, obedience and a world of emotions that are then made a norm to follow as purpose of a good living, often find their dead end in fear & insecurity which are whip used to drive human subservience. Religion, cults, castes often demand obedience by instilling a sense of fear, garbing it in benevolent sweet talk they call selfless love while driving selfish agenda's all the time. Norman Pinglepop is an attempt to lay bear the sinister designs of an ambitious few who succeed in exploiting the frailties of the collective will laid weaker through generations of conditioning & servitude.

The night serves as both personal abyss and universal refuge to longstanding doubts, suppressed anger, and reluctant self-discovery. He is compelled and repelled by a most primal mystery and a most final revelation. Vasile Munteanu was born in Romania and moved to the United States as a teenager.

The human imagination is a reflection of and a participation in the divine imagination; so mused the romantic poet, philosopher and theologian Samuel Taylor Coleridge. His thinking was intuitive, dense, obscure, brilliant, and deeply influenced by German philosophy. This book explores the development of his philosophical theology with particular reference to the imagination, examining the diverse streams that contributed to the originality of his thought. The second section of this book extrapolates his thinking into areas into which Coleridge did not venture. If God is intrinsically imaginative, then how is this manifested? Can we articulate a theology of the ontology of God that is framed in imaginative and creative terms? Drawing on the groundbreaking work of Huizinga on 'play,' this study seeks to develop a theological understanding of God's playfulness.
