"Set among the splendor of the Rocky Mountains in 1880, The Grant Conspiracy takes you to a Colorado mining town being torn apart by an evil law firm out for revenge for Black Friday. Frost and Hancock are ex-Confederates who, with the help of their henchmen, are plotting the assassination of former president Ulysses S. Grant. But they're not angry over the war; rather, their hatred comes from pure greed. They lost their fortunes when Grant dumped government gold on the market. Now, with Grant planning a tour of the Rockies by wagon, they're scheming to lure him to Mountain Springs by inviting Matt Tyler, the man who saved the general's life during the war, to come work for their law firm. However, President Hayes is on to them and he's sending the young lawyer to Colorado on a dangerous mission to scuttle their plan. Greeted by the brutal murder of a law clerk, Matt can immediately smell trouble in the air.

Historia kanonu ksiąg świętych Starego i Nowego Testamentu jest ważnym i fascynującym tematem. Jego kształtowanie się było wynikiem długotrwałego procesu, który odbywał się w biblijnym Izraelu oraz w Kościele apostolskim i judaizmie rabinicznego. Księgi święte powstały z wiary i dla wiary, a ich przekazywanie oraz wspólne czytanie miało kluczowe znaczenie. Kolejny tom Prymasowskiej Serii Biblijnej wypełnia lukę, która nie została dotąd odpowiednio zagospodarowana. Choć temat kanonu był poruszany w poprzednich publikacjach, żadna nie rozwinęła go tak szczegółowo. Kanon Biblii jest ściśle związany z chrześcijańską tożsamością, co podkreśla wartość tej książki. Ukazuje Biblię jako zróżnicowaną bibliotekę kulturową, historyczną i językową, ale zjednoczoną teologicznie. Jej rdzeń stanowi zapis stopniowego objawiania się Boga, które osiągnęło szczyt w Jezusie Chrystusie. Zrozumienie, jak powstawała Biblia, pozwala docenić jej przesłanie, głęboko zakorzenione w wierze biblijnego Izraela i Kościoła apostolskiego. Dzięki temu możemy uznać ją za wiarygodny drogowskaz w naszym życiu. Ks. prof. zw. dr hab. Waldemar Chrostowski, Laureat Nagrody Ratzingera (2014), Uniwersytet Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego.

Walter Hollenweger, a recognized expert on the worldwide Pentecostal movement, has argued that Pentecostalism's greatest contribution to the larger Christian tradition has been in the area of worship. It is in the context of worship that people are saved, sanctified, baptized in the Spirit, healed, and filled with the hope of Christ's coming. Despite the importance of worship to the Pentecostal tradition, theologians in the movement have not yet developed a full-fledged theology of worship. In this multi-authored work, leading Pentecostal scholars come together to construct a contemporary biblical theological approach to worship. Seeking to go beyond discussions that focus on style and trends, these writers offer a distinctive theological vision for Pentecostal worship that appreciates the history, diversity, ethos, and global contexts of Pentecostalism. Written for pastors, students, and scholars, this work provides ample resources for those interested in examining the Pentecostal theology of worship. Contributors to this work include biblical scholars, systematicians, and practical theologians. The diversity of voices insures creativity of approaches and freshness of ideas. This second edition includes two new chapters and a longer introduction to Pentecostal worship. Although not a complete theology of worship, this study provides a starting point for exploring important themes from a variety of perspectives.
