It is my goal in writing this novel to show that the Jewish/Roman historian, Flavius Josephus in his book, The Wars of the Jews or The History of the Destruction of Jerusalem actually recorded evidence of the fulfillment of biblical prophecy culminating in the total leveling of the temple which validates the Preterist position. He recorded that a judgment such as the world had never seen came upon Judea, Jerusalem and the Temple in AD 70 (The Wars, Book VI, Chapter 9, Sections 428, 429). Elsewhere, he noted that Rome devastated the country, leveled Jerusalem, and destroyed and desolated the temple (The Wars, Book VI, Chapter 10, Section 442). This novel has been written to be as close to both biblical and secular history as possible. Sometimes events have been modified for effect. But the main characters: Josephus, Vespasian, Nero, Titus and Nicanor are real people that played a role in the history of the first century. Among the biblical characters: Jesus, Peter, Paul, and John are real. The main character, Benjamin, is a fictional creation. He is a Jew who believed in Jesus as the Messiah and who mistakenly fights against Rome. He survives both the siege of Jotapata and the murder/suicide pact created by Josephus – a sort of first century “Every Man” caught up in those age-changing whirlwind events.

The battle of Kinsale, 1601, fought during the Nine Years War of 1594-1603, marked a turning point in European and Irish history. Although the political power of the Gaelic nobility was broken and royal authority in the kingdom was enhanced, Ireland remained strategically important for other European powers, especially Spain and France. Therefore, when political, social and religious changes at home caused many Irish to migrate, temporarily or permanently, they headed for Habsburg and Bourbon territories.

Akbarnāma, or The History of Akbar, by Abu’l-Fazl (d. 1602), is one of the most important works of Indo-Persian history and a touchstone of prose artistry. Marking a high point in a long, rich tradition of Persian historical writing, it served as a model for historians across the Persianate world. The work is at once a biography of the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556–1605) that includes descriptions of his political and martial feats and cultural achievements, and a chronicle of sixteenth-century India. The second volume details the turbulent reign of his father Humayun, his years in exile, his return to power, and his untimely death that brought Akbar to the throne as a youth. The Persian text, presented in the Naskh script, is based on a careful reassessment of the primary sources.

The reign of the first Elizabeth will always be remembered for the Armada. But it was the Irish, not the Spanish, who came closest to destroying the security of the Elizabethan state. Between 1560 and 1602, only superior military force - allied with ruthless subjugation - preserved England's throne against a succession of rebellions and uprisings throughout Ireland.Now republished for the first time in nearly twenty years, Elizabeth's Irish Wars is Cyril Falls's crucial account of the half century that changed the course of Anglo-Irish history. To contemporary observers, the danger to the English crown was acute. Many of the queen's foremost professional soldiers served in Ireland, among them Essex and Mountjoy, her leading military tactician. Ireland, too, found her heroes in O'Donnell, Fitzmaurice, Tyrone and O'Neill.The Elizabethan wars in Ireland involved the collision of two civilisations, in which the older went down. This masterly account of the campaigns gives a vital perspective to the broad sweep of Anglo-Irish relations.

A philosophical analysis of the work of one of the most iconoclastic thinkers in Chinese history, Li Zhi, whose ethics prized spontaneous expression of genuine feelings.Li Zhi (1527–1602) was a bestselling author with a devoted readership. His biting, shrewd, and visionary writings with titles like A Book to Hide and A Book to Burn were both inspiring and inflammatory. Widely read from his own time to the present, Li Zhi has long been acknowledged as an important figure in Chinese cultural history. While he is esteemed as a stinging social critic and an impassioned writer, Li Zhi’s ideas have been dismissed as lacking a deeper or constructive vision. Pauline C. Lee convincingly shows us otherwise. Situating Li Zhi within the highly charged world of the late-Ming culture of “feelings,” Lee presents his slippery and unruly yet clear and robust ethical vision. Li Zhi is a Confucian thinker whose consuming concern is a powerful interior world of abundance, distinctive to each individual: the realm of the emotions. Critical to his ideal of the good life is the ability to express one’s feelings well. In the work’s conclusion, Lee brings Li Zhi’s insights into conversation with contemporary philosophical debates about the role of feelings, an ethics of authenticity, and the virtue of desire.

Once a highly influential preacher in the Elizabethan Church and the international Reformed world, William Perkins (1558"€"1602) has become a rather surprisingly neglected figure in the history of the church. In this book, Joel Beeke, Sinclair Ferguson, Greg Salazar, Geoff Thomas, and Stephen Yuille seek to recover the importance of Perkins by situating his life, priorities, ministry challenges, and influence within their original seventeenth-century context. They help readers "to peer behind the veil" to see the real Perkins as he contended for the faith and attempted to shepherd God's people in the midst of profound challenges. In this way, this volume will be both a reservoir of theological and practical truth and will foster a greater experiential knowledge of and love for the great God who William Perkins proclaimed and served.
