Often ignored, misunderstood, or compared with Christian belief in
a haphazard or inconsistent manner, the Mysteries of the
Graeco-Roman world, when handled carefully and consistently, can
aid in elucidating the context of New Testament texts. By closely
examining the Eleusinian Mysteries and the Mysteries of Isis, and
particularly their promises of a pleasant afterlife in Hades for
those initiated into the cults, this work offers insight into
difficult interpretational issues in First Corinthians 15. The work
proceeds from a methodological commitment to understanding the
Mysteries in their own right and without an overlay of Christian
belief. The book includes a broad overview of the Eleusinian
Mysteries and the Mysteries of Isis and their place in Graeco-Roman
culture, taking a deep and careful dive into conceptions of the
afterlife in these cults. In each instance available historical
data is considered, from works of mythology to dramas to
archeological fragments, all with a focus on afterlife beliefs.
With an ultimate goal to better understand Paul's writing in First
Corinthians 15, the study includes an overview of Corinthian
society and a particular examination of the available evidence
concerning the impact of the Mysteries on Corinthians' expectation
of the afterlife. Having considered the Mysteries independently,
the work turns to First Corinthians 15 with a brief exegetical
overview before drawing careful comparisons between Paul's teaching
and the afterlife beliefs of the Mysteries. The book concludes with
suggestions for interpretational issues on Paul's teaching in first
Corinthians 15 regarding death and resurrection and baptism for the
dead.

when a twenty-nine year old baby boomer is thrust into the role of
parental caregiver and ends twenty-two years later with the death
of both parents.

patience to survive them, all set against the backdrop of growing
up in the 1950-60's. The work also reveals the increasing challenge

glimpse into a profound encounter that altered one family's
perception forever.
"A River Called Forever "exists as a testament to hope-eternal

A dark cloud hung over the moon, but they could still see the
outline of the shore. Brian stopped short and put his hand up to
his lips to quiet their arrival. Yet it wasn't entirely silent.
Timi noticed a clicking sound that echoed in her ears. They spotted
a number of dark shapes moving in the water. Just then the cloud
moved on and a shaft of light broke loose and flooded the bay. Timi
gasped as she saw hundreds of them moving in towards the land. It
was like a flotilla of boats landing on the beach. Timi looked at
Sataki, whose eyes were almost as wide open as her mouth. Brian
just stood, silently watching. The amazed group of explorers
remained that way for a long time. Timi was, of course, the first
to break the silence. "This really is a special place," she
whispered, "What are they?" "Horseshoe crabs are wonderful
creatures. They are ancient, valuable and often misunderstood,
sometimes with tragic consequences. Terry Moore's moving, timely
story shows us the plight of the horseshoe crab, and their
importance to the health of the planet, through the eyes of
children. This book can effectively bring the issues of pollution,
ecology, and working together for change into classrooms and homes
not only in New Jersey, but anywhere. Kudos to Mr. Moore for his
fine effort." Judie Weinstein New Jersey Academy for Aquatic
Sciences
The Cross represents all that Jesus did for us. Not just His dying
on the Cross, but everything involved in His crucifixion, His
death, His burial, and His resurrection. To those who are not yet
saved, the message of the Cross may seem foolish but to those of us
who are saved, it was and is the power of God. The Cross is the Key
discusses how the Cross represents the greatest victory of all
time, how it is the message of hope for all people, and how it is
the key to unlocking the wonderful life we have in Jesus.
