  • When a Jew Rules the World: English
    ADVANCE PRAISE Joel Richardson has written a very important and hard-hitting book. His arguments against replacement theology, or supersessionism, are powerful and solid. I have greater optimism of the final end of the age on the tribulation. However, the basic thrust of this book is right and true and a wonderful contribution. —DANIEL JUSTER, TH. D. TIKKUN INTERNATIONAL, JERUSALEM This latest book by Joel Richardson is desperately needed and a must read for the serious Christian. His characteristic scholarship and diligence is long overdue on this very crucial perspective for everyone that claims the name of Christ. The inevitable rise of criticism will simply underscore the reality that these issues lie at the very centroid of all doctrines of a Biblical faith and include a crucial re-examination of the eschatological issues on our immediate horizon. Indeed, a pivotal contribution for us all. —CHUCK MISSLER, KOINONIA HOUSE This book draws the reader through foundational biblical and historical issues regarding the restoration of the Jewish people, as well as the speckled and sometimes glorious history of the body of Messiah vis-à-vis Israel’s destiny. Thoughtful, respectful, helpful, edifying. —AVNER BOSKEY, FINAL FRONTIER MINISTRIES, BEERSHEVA, ISRAEL There are numerous points of light that illuminate the canvas on which the history of the church is rendered. However, these points of light shine against a shadowy backdrop rendered in dark crimson. The vitriol and bloodlust displayed by many nations toward the people that birthed God’s Son has dimmed the light of God and obscured the path of love he came to reveal.

Known in approximately 500 Latin manuscripts, far more than Bonaventura’s Meditationes vitae Christi, this was an extremely popular devotional work, with translations appearing in Middle High German, Middle Low German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Swedish, Danish, and English. Although most manuscripts attributed it to Bonaventura, the original Stimulus Amoris was the work of the thirteenth-century Franciscan friar Giacomo da Milano. His text is a series of spiritual exercises for meditation, leading to a progressive emotional engagement with the Passion, the goal being a mystical identification with Christ (DBI).

  • Maltese in the Benelux
    Maltese in the Benelux Simon Dalli A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Masters preparatory with specialisation in History, University of Malta May, 2013 Supervisor: Prof. Henry Frendo Abstract This dissertation aims to investigate the situation of the Maltese who have lived and are living in the Low Countries, recently known as the Benelux. Malta’s entry into the European Union has brought to my attention the ever increasing Maltese presence in Europe. The author chose the Benelux because unlike Malta, which lies in Southern Europe, the region lies in northwest Europe, and therefore the lives of the Maltese in the Benelux, the author assumes, would have developed differently to those of Maltese people living in their homeland. Moreover, it was also intriguing to research the lives of Maltese living in three neighbouring countries with different motives during the years. In this way I hope to highlight the problems the Maltese communities in the Benelux have faced throughout the years. To find information and sources with regards to the Maltese in the Benelux, the author reviewed several primary historical and contemporary sources, throughout Malta, Belgium and the Netherlands. The sources were mainly several documents, passports, journals, and newspaper articles. Moreover, in order to analyse recent topics, the research included a series of questionnaires with Maltese nationals residing in the Benelux so that the validity of this study would be concluded with current details. The dissertation will show the variety of reasons why Maltese have chosen to work in the Benelux. Reasons which were unknown, or else forgotten through time as in many of the historical cases.
