Women Preachers and Prophets through Two Millennia of Christianity

3 reviews

University of California Press, 1998

Fascinating Study of History
This interesting book offers a thorough look at the history of women teaching and leading others in the Christian faith. Inspite of patriocentric efforts to erase the existence of such women (as this book itself acknowledges), women have flourished as spiritual leaders and soldiers of Christ regardless of attempts at restraint. This book is really not at all an argument for female pastors so ...

Wyeth, Norman Rockwell, Grandma Moses, ...even art from ...

Millennia Books, 2000

First You Sigh
When I finished this book, I felt like I'd known Beth Johnson my entire life! I bought this book to learn how to meditate, but First You Sigh ended up being much more than that. I was thoroughly entertained--I laughed out loud and I cried. It is full of profound messages about day-to-day living--ones that really make sense and have been easy to incorporate into my own life! I've read lots and ...

The March of the Millennia: A Key to Looking at History

1 review
Isaac Asimov, Frank White

Walker & Company, 1992

A readable overview
"The March of the Millennia" is a nice brief sketch of world history made into more than merely a chronicle by Asimov's considerable narrative skill. Asimov writes clearly and simply of people and events in a mostly factual and descriptive way, but adds occasional interpretive remarks that often emphasize the great impact of technological innovations on the development of civilization. As its ...

A valuable resource where few exist...
One of the only books available to provide an overview of the orders from beginning to recent times. Readers are likely to be surprised by the diversity of the early orders, and the range of growth and the transitions they have made over the centuries. The majority of the text describes the development of the orders, providing fascinating insight to some of the practises that have come and gone ...

Deep Time: How Humanity Communicates Across Millennia

Gregory Benford

Bard, 1999

Deep Time/Deep Self-Revelation
I very much enjoyed reflecting on the ideas presented in Benford's discussion. The content and organization of the book are not specifically addressed in previous reviews on this site, so for the reader wondering what the book is about, a road map might be useful. Deep Time has four sections: (1) Ten Thousand Years of Solitude describes a project in which the author was involved, which ...

A great book for a broad audience

We know that civilization could not develop without soils, and that soils are not only the foundations of all terrestrial ecosystems, but also the environment for >99% of ecosystem biodiversity. Soil scientists have gained tremendous views inside of this black box, and Richter and Markewitz provide a grand tour for scientists and students ...

Two Millennia of Mathematics: From Archimedes to Gauss (CMS Books in Mathematics)

1 review
George M. Phillips

Springer, 2000

Math motivated by history
You might think this is a history of math book but it isn't, it's a math book where the 5 topics are subjects the author likes and he motivates the math via some history. You can "look inside" to see the topics, but what I believe to be the most important thing in a review of a math book is "who is this appropriate for ?". The answer in this case is a person with a math background like you would ...

R. C. Caenegem
