How successful were the Athenians and other Greeks in bringing about the rule of law? What did the Greeks recognise as 'law' both in the 'polis' and internationally? How did the courts attempt to implement this ideal, and how successful were they? This collection of essays sets out to answer these questions, concentrating on the following themes: law, religion and the sources of legitimacy; substance and procedure; legal arguments in court; documents and witnesses; and law in an international context. There is much here to interest not only specialists in Greek law, but also those concerned more generally with both Greek history and the history of law.

Phrygia in the second and third centuries CE offers more vivid evidence for what has been termed “lived ancient religion” than any other region in the ancient world. The evidence from Phrygia is neither literary nor issued by cities or their powerful inhabitants but rather comes from farmers and herders who left behind numerous stone memorials of themselves and dedications to their gods, praying for the welfare of their families, crops, and cattle. In Religion in Roman Phrygia: From Polytheism to Christianity, Robert Parker opens a rare window into the world of those Sir Ronald Syme called “the voiceless earth-coloured rustics” who have been “conveniently forgotten.” The period in which Phrygian paganism flourished so visibly was also the period in which Christianity was introduced by the apostle Paul and took root. Parker presents a rich body of evidence and uses it to explore one of history’s great stories and enigmas: how and why the new religion overtook its predecessor, with the Christian God meeting needs previously satisfied by Zeus and the other gods.

A Christmas Cracker serves as a Godsend to the overstretched parson, headmaster or preacher during one of the most exciting and busy times of the Christian calendar. A collection of ready-made and readily accessible Christmas services, tried and tested over the course of Reverend Parker's 25 years as a rector, yet still very much applicable to the modern minister. This is in part a 'how to' guide yes, but it's more than that. It's about active learning, imprinting with God, making Christianity accessible and memorable. At times you could be forgiven for thinking you're in a wizard's magic class - cue the mixing of magnesium, sulphur and potassium and other chemical ingredients to produce the essence of the spirit of God. Then there are the classic games such as pass the parcel and church treasure hunts that are playfully woven into services to create an infectious enthusiasm for Christmas that goes beyond the presents and the physical manifestations of Christmas today. Arranged over three parts, Reverend Parker first sets out a series of stand-alone services suitable for a school assembly or sermon slot with simple, symbolic aids and props to bring the act of worship to life. In part II there follows a selection of full-length major services that can be reproduced with or without adaptation and with practical pointers such as how to recruit willing helpers to enable these plans to come together. A final section comprises ideas to embellish the themes covered in the earlier chapters. From human camels and Christmas action songs to carols sung to the tune of "Match of the Day", you'll find plenty of inspiration to engage young and old alike.

This book presents a theory that the past spring feasts of the Lord could predict the future end times prophecy events using the fall feasts of the Lord. This basic prophetic understanding was proposed in the early 1980s by Robert van Kampen The Sign of Christ's Coming and the End of the Age. Since then, other author scholars have come to the same understanding: Marvin Rosenthal The Feasts of the LORD, Michael Norten Unlocking the Secrets of the Feasts, Bruce R. Booker The Feasts of the LORD, and Sam Nadler Messiah in The Feasts of Israel. Its logical conclusion is a series of dates reflecting the fall feasts of the Lord. These dates are based on scripturally significant events in Israel: 14 May 1948 and June 1967. The following events will be proposed among many others. Based on Yom Kippur, it will present a series of the start of the seventieth week of Daniel. They range from 2020 to 2029 and on 2063. Based on the crucifixion of Jesus in likely 30 AD or 33 AD and 1948 the following dates seem to stand out: 13 November 2023 or 9 November 2026. There are other possible dates depending upon which filters the reader does or does not use. Jesus second advent begins three and a half years later on the Mount of Olives with the great tribulation. The same day Gog attacks the Lord responds with, if you will, a counter attack. When to hide from the fury of the great tribulation therefore mitigate persecution for our faith. When each two-day rapture window dates are each year. The two witnesses will likely arrive on a Passover. The ten days of Awe occur during the sixth and seventh blown trumpets.

This is an update of the previous book published in 2021. There are now 31 figures and 12 chapters. The Beyond Prewrath view claims that believers will not be raptured until after Satan's great tribulation though before the blown trumpets with the wrath of God. It has similarities to the prewrath theory, though is yet significantly different to reveal important new understandings. It interprets the book of Revelation as not being chronological. This new premillennial theory has the rapture occurring at the end of the first septet of the opened seals in Revelation 8:5. The phrase of "peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake" will be shown to represent an earthly rapture of the elect. This same unique phrase can only be found at the end of the second septet (11:19) and third septet (16:18). Second rapture is for Israel and third for the sheep. The same phrase without an earthquake can be found in Revelation 4:4 when the apostle John is before the presence of the Lord. Associated with each of these three great theophanies is lightning which will be shown to represent the metaphorical arm of Jesus with His return as in Luke 17:24. The first blown trumpet in Revelation 8:7 with "hail and fire mixed with blood" is considered the start of the wrath of God as prophesized in Luke 17:29 with its "fire and sulfur". Having the rapture in Revelation 8:5 and the wrath of God two verses later provides strong support of a prophetic same day event. Revelation 7:9-17 rejoicing in heaven is considered consequence of the chronologically earlier Revelation 8:5 earthly rapture. This revised book added Introduction before chapter 1 now synopsizes twelve of the major positions of the book, which will help readers to more easily digest the content which follows. Additional content has been added such as: (1) describe the method of the rapture to the sky, (2) 2 Thessalonians 2:2-5 two prerequisites relative to the day of the Lord, apply to Day 1 (middle of the seventieth week of Daniel) and not the day of the Lord when the same day rapture occurs, (3) earthquakes, (4) quantifies the duration of the "fury" before the great tribulation ends, and (5) identifies the false trinity. The Antichrist will be proposed to represent two parts of this false trinity: the man of the lawlessness (son of destruction) indwelt by Satan, which is representative of Judas Iscariot in John 17:12. Corrections from the first book in 2021 include such as the Antichrist is the first beast of Revelation 13 and not the second. Preface of book contain other details.

From even before the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek gods spread throughout the Mediterranean, carried by settlers and largely adopted by the indigenous populations. By the third century b.c., gods bearing Greek names were worshipped everywhere from Spain to Afghanistan, with the resulting religious systems a variable blend of Greek and indigenous elements. Greek Gods Abroad examines the interaction between Greek religion and the cultures of the eastern Mediterranean with which it came into contact. Robert Parker shows how Greek conventions for naming gods were extended and adapted and provides bold new insights into religious and psychological values across the Mediterranean. The result is a rich portrait of ancient polytheism as it was practiced over 600 years of history.
