This title contributes to the current academic debate on the relationship between early Greek poetry and the ancient Near East, especially Mesopotamia. It is the first extensive study to be based on a detailed analysis of the ancient texts, consisting in this case of a selection of religious poems mainly in Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite, and Greek.

Many scholars today believe that early Greek literature, as represented by the great poems of Homer and Hesiod, was to some extent inspired by texts from the neighbouring civilizations of the ancient Near East, especially Mesopotamia. It is true that, in the case of religious poetry, early Greek poets sang about their gods in ways that resemble those of Sumerian or Akkadian hymns from Mesopotamia, but does this mean that the latter influenced the former, and if so, how? This volume is the first to attempt an answer to these questions by undertaking a detailed study of the ancient texts in their original languages, from Sumerian poetry in the 20th century BC to Greek sources from the times of Homer, Hesiod, Pindar, and Aeschylus. The Gods Rich in Praise presents the core groups of sources from the ancient Near East, describing the main features of style and content of Sumerian and Akkadian religious poetry, and showing how certain compositions were translated and adapted beyond Mesopotamia. It proceeds by comparing selected elements of form and content: hymnic openings, negative predication, the birth of Aphrodite in the Theogony of Hesiod, and the origins and development of a phrase in Hittite prayers and the Iliad of Homer. The volume concludes that, in terms of form and style, early Greek religious poetry was probably not indebted to ancient Near Eastern models, but also argues that such influence may nevertheless be perceived in certain closely defined instances, particularly where supplementary evidence from other ancient sources is available, and where the extant sources permit a reconstruction of the process of translation and adaptation.

The first in a series of volumes publishing the Sumerian literary texts in the Schøyen Collection, this book makes available, for the first time, editions of seventeen cuneiform tablets, dating to ca. 2000 BCE and containing works of Sumerian religious poetry. Edited, translated, and annotated by Christopher Metcalf, these poems shed light on the interaction between cult, scholarship, and scribal culture in Mesopotamia in the early second millennium BCE. The present volume contains fourteen songs composed in praise of the various gods of the Mesopotamian pantheon; it is believed that these songs were typically performed in temple cults. Among them are a song in praise of Sud, goddess of the ancient Mesopotamian city Shuruppak; a song describing the statue of the protective goddess Lamma-saga in the “Sacred City” temple complex at Girsu; and a previously unknown hymn dedicated to the creator god Enki. Each text is provided in transliteration and translation and accompanied by hand-copies and images of the tablets themselves. Expertly contextualizing each song in Babylonian religious and literary history, this thoroughly competent editio princeps will prove a valuable tool for scholars interested in the literary and religious traditions of ancient Mesopotamia.

Our God Is Able bears witness to the marvelous miracle: mighty signs and great wonders and gifts of and through the Holy Spirit in accordance with Gods will made manifest even in these end times, as it was when Jesus the Lord walked the shores of Galilee. The Lord our God is the only true and living God! He exercises dominion over all His works. He is eternally unchangeable in His nature and character, love, grace, and power to save, heal, and deliver. His Word is true, all-powerful, and does what it says. The Holy Bible is filled with amazing revelations about the kingdom of God with its transforming power: therein Jesus preached, taught, healed diverse sickness and diseases, saved, delivered, set the captives free, broke social barriers, and raised the dead! Alleluia! These things were written for our example and application by the power and authority in His holy name! Come what may, it is not over until God says it is over! The greatest miracle, however, is healing and wholeness of a sin-sicked soul! It is by, with, and through the Spirit of grace and truth that our lives were spared, and we overcame various captivitiespersonal challenges, the bloody (un)civil war, and most especially, a life-threatening situation. If the Lord God Almighty hadnt sent us help from above, it would have all been long over.

Praise Faith To God's Glory is a special collection of short stories written in the sub-genre of Christian Science Fiction. Too often in the past, Christians who like to read science fiction have had to deal with the obvious "put downs" when it came to having faith in God. This book and these short stories were written to address this issue. In the grandness of things, it is ridiculous to believe that all of the wonders of the universe simply happened. "Chaos theory" suffers from its own "big bang"and who better to write speculative fiction than someone who believes in the Ultimate Being. These stories express what Christians have known since Jesus Christ walked with us, and expresses what modern day physics seeks so hard to discoverthe unified theorybut God is One. Christians have had the unified theory of the universe and all creation since the beginning. This is science fiction with a Christian attitude!

A biblical theology of worship spanning both the Old and New Testaments While many books on worship focus on contemporary trends, Biblical Worship plumbs every book of the Bible to uncover its teaching on worship and then applies these insights to our lives and churches today.
