A foundational moment in the history of modern European thought, the Enlightenment continues to be a reference point for philosophers, scholars and opinion-formers. To many it remains the inspiration of our commitments to the betterment of the human condition. To others, it represents the elevation of one set of European values to the world, many of whose peoples have quite different values. But what is the relationship between the historical Enlightenment and the idea of 'Enlightenment', and can these two understandings be reconciled?

In this Very Short Introduction, John Robertson offers a concise historical introduction to the Enlightenment as an intellectual movement of eighteenth-century Europe. Discussing its intellectual achievements, he also explores how its supporters exploited new ways of communicating their ideas to a wider public, creating a new 'public sphere' for critical discussion of the moral, economic and political issues facing their societies.

The subject of faith is often overlooked because of its supposed simplicity. The more one looks into the subject of faith the more understanding will be achieved. Faith is not something that anyone can see (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is something hoped for in the future and evidenced by the way one lives in the present. Faith can keep one on the right track to heaven if they will give effort.

A study of the Minor Prophets will leave one with a greater reverence and respect for the authorized words of God. As we read these twelve books we are inserted into the lives of those who made the choice to be righteousness and those who chose sin. Those who did not follow God's word were chastised by God as a father would an unruly child. The Lord punished his erring people by way of droughts, pestilence, sword, and famine. The object of the punishment was to cause the people to feel sorrow over their sins and return to the Lord. The Minor Prophets prove Solomon's words about the consequences of living a life of sin. Those who choose to sin have nothing but a thorny life of troubles (see Proverbs 22:5). Studying the Minor Prophets will bring wisdom to your life so that you will think twice before choosing sin. Christians are thankful to God that he will forgive the meek and lowly that repents when sin is permitted into one's life.

By 2027, ten years after the Paris Agreement on climate change, humanity has started to make meaningful progress controlling greenhouse gas emissions.

Despite their progress, humanity wonders, will it be enough? Global warming must be held to the agreed limit of 2.0 degrees Celsius. Ideally, the world must lower it to an ambitious limit of 1.5 degrees. Despite technological advancements and investment in sustainable energy production, radical measures are needed. The growing energy demands of developing countries is countering the progress of the developed nations. As scientists and politicians try to solve this dilemma, some fear that a more immediate danger -- insufficient freshwater -- may overshadow the risk of global warming.

However, an unusual object approaches planet Earth from the far reaches of the solar system. A third candidate for the most dangerous threat impacting humanity's future has appeared. One that in no way stems from humanity's growing energy consumption or ever-increasing population.

The important and rapidly emerging new field known as 'cyber threat intelligence' explores the paradigm that defenders of computer networks gain a better understanding of their adversaries by understanding what assets they have available for an attack. In this book, a team of experts examines a new type of cyber threat intelligence from the heart of the malicious hacking underworld - the dark web. These highly secure sites have allowed anonymous communities of malicious hackers to exchange ideas and techniques, and to buy/sell malware and exploits. Aimed at both cybersecurity practitioners and researchers, this book represents a first step toward a better understanding of malicious hacking communities on the dark web and what to do about them. The authors examine real-world darkweb data through a combination of human and automated techniques to gain insight into these communities, describing both methodology and results.

This book contains all the information that you need to engage in spiritual warfare, protecting your home, your family, your community, as well as our nation. In it you can learn how to overcome the attacks and the snares of Satan for in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8:37)

A young David finds the answer to an age old question that few will even consider. If it be that God demands man's moral perfection then how can I attain it (see Matthew 5:48; 1 Peter 1:15-17; 2 Peter 1:4 and 1 John 4:17 to name only a few passages)? The pessimist views moral perfection as impossible. Jesus tells us; however, that all things are possible with God (see Matthew 19:26). Psalms 119 confirms the Lord and apostles' teaching on the subject regarding the relationship between grace and moral perfection (2 Corinthians 5:21). Once David sees and understands God's expectation of perfection then he puts his all into attaining it. Reading the chapter is like looking into the life of an exceptional athlete or musician. The one standing upon the top podium for the Olympic 1500 meters did not get there by a casual approach to his sport. The ultimate prize is attained by a combination of passion and a work ethic paralleled by few. The person that receives the gift of God's salvation will be just like the athlete. The Apostle Paul said that the athlete works for a physical reward yet the saints for an imperishable crown (see 1 Corinthians 9:23-27). David, the man after God's own heart, displays a passion and work ethic for God's gifts that is found only in a few (Matthew 7:13-14). Psalms 119 gives clarity to the New Testament teaching on the relationship between obedience, grace, and salvation. The one thing that every right thinking person should be striving for in this life is God's gift of salvation.

Jesus said, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed (Mark 11:23). He was preparing us for the times when we would have to take direct authority in the spiritual realm to impact things in the natural realm. The two main factors to remember are His authority and the spoken word. By this passage, we already have access through His words as long as we appropriate His name when we speak to our mountain. As a metaphor, a mountain can be anything from financial issues to health issues, rebellious children, or any seemingly insurmountable thing that blocks our path. Speak God's Word to your mountain and watch its removal.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

A book written by a father who knows how inadequate he was as a father, and has learned more about what a father should be like by looking at the story of God the Father and His children, from a perspective of A Father's Love for His children, and by relating to his own love for his children and grandchildren. By studying the bible from this perspective He has learned much about The Father's Love for His children and the nature of the Father.

The theme of Ezekiel is, You shall know that I am the Lord. Most will only come to repentance and confession that Jehovah is God by violent actions against them. Tribulation and pain brings a man to his knees so that he may cry out to God for help (see Acts 14:22). God acted out in violence against Judah for her sins so that they may repent and confess that he alone is the Lord (Lamentations 2:5-7). Accordingly, Ezekiel parallels the book of Revelation. The prophet ends the book by giving the people hope in a future kingdom ruled by Christ.

Challenging the recent tendency to fragment the Enlightenment in eighteenth-century Europe into multiple Enlightenments, John Robertson demonstrates the extent to which thinkers in two societies at the opposite ends of Europe shared common intellectual preoccupations. Before 1700, Scotland and Naples faced a bleak future as backward, provincial kingdoms in a Europe of aggressive commercial states. Yet by 1760, Scottish and Neapolitan thinkers were in the van of those advocating the cause of Enlightenment by means of political economy. Robertson pays particular attention to the greatest thinkers in each country, David Hume and Giambattista Vico.

1 and 2 Thessalonians are two epistles addressed to a group of Christians that faced many of the same anxieties and issues that God's people do today. The Apostle Paul spends a considerable amount of space in these two epistles teaching and easing the minds of these new converts in the faith. They had anxiety regarding the second coming of Jesus. The Thessalonians Christians were also being bombarded with worldliness, the threat of persecution, false doctrines, and skeptics that did all within their power to cause the world to view the Bible as nothing more than a fairy tale. Paul's care and concern for fellow brothers in Christ comes out in these two letters. He reminds the Thessalonian Christians of the original doctrine that they had learned so that they may be victorious over all things that stand between them and Christ. These two epistles are very valuable today because they help us with our anxieties, modern day issues, and we learn how to establish Bible authority for all that we do.
