Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809) was an English pamphleteer, revolutionary, radical, inventor, and intellectual. He lived and worked in Britain until age 37, at which time he emigrated to the British American colonies, in time to participate in the American Revolution. His principal contribution was the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense (1776), advocating colonial America's independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain and of The American Crisis (1776-1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series. Later, he greatly influenced the French Revolution. He wrote the Rights of Man (1791), a guide to Enlightenment ideas. Despite not speaking French, he was elected to the French National Convention in 1792. The Girondists regarded him as an ally, so, the Montagnards, especially Robespierre, regarded him as an enemy. In December of 1793, he was arrested and imprisoned in Paris, then released in 1794. He became notorious because of The Age of Reason (1793/94), the book advocating deism and arguing against Christian doctrines. In France, he also wrote the pamphlet Agrarian Justice (1795), discussing the origins of property, and introduced the concept of a guaranteed minimum income. He remained in France during the early Napoleonic era, but condemned Napoleon's dictatorship, calling him "the completest charlatan that ever existed". In 1802, at President Thomas Jefferson's invitation, he returned to America, where he died in 1809 in New York.. Reprint. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

This second instalment in the story of the legendary hero begins with Theseus' triumphant return from Crete after slaying the Minotaur. Having freed the city of Athens from the onerous tribute demanded by the ruler of Knossos - the sacrifice of noble youths and maidens to the appetite of the Labyrinth's monster - Theseus has returned home to find his father dead and himself the new king. But his adventures have only just begun: he still must confront the Amazons, capture their queen, Hippolyta, and face the tragic results of Phaedra's jealous rage. Piecing together the fragments of myth and using her deep understanding of the cultures reflected in these legends, Mary Renault has constructed an enthralling narrative of a time when heroes battled monsters and gods strode the earth. .

The first modern history of the biblical figure of Abraham and his world provides a long-overdue history of the patriarch, reveals that the original story embedded in the Bible is actually our oldest historical biography, and takes readers on Abraham's journey through what today is the Middle East. "In Abraham, I show that the biblical writers of Abraham's story were passionate about the difference between history and myth. I attempt to give this passion clarity for the first time. Stripped of later myths and legends that confuse human history with the supernatural, we can focus on Abraham as not only the first Jew—but also, the last Sumerian. We can open our eyes to his surrounding world: Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Canaanite, and the birth of Hebraic culture." - David Rosenberg. Author. Stated 1st Edition. Hard Cover.

One of an edition of 3,500, published in July, 1970. This is an extremely fresh copy in excellent condition. Fine+. This pamphlet was published as part of the Pendle Hill Pamphlet Series. Pendle Hill was a center for religious and social study and cooperative living maintained by members of the Society of Friends. The idea behind the Pendle Hill experiment has also found expression in pamphlets. These, like early Christian or early Quaker tracts, present a variety of points of view, but they all derive in some way from the fundamental Pendle Hill idea. Social Worker and former student in anthropology and religion, Richard Taylor has taught at the Martin Luther King School of Social Change at Crozer Theological Seminary, Chester, PA. He was Executive Director of the Fair Housing Council of Delaware Valley, a Research Associate at North City Congress (a predominantly black community organization in North Philadelphia) and a member of the national staff of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Taylor asks that Quakers confront their complicity in a racist society, and encourages them to become a force for change. Taylor is also the author of Nuclear Holocaust & Christian Hope: A Book for Christian Peacemakers, Economics and the Gospel, and Blockade: A Guide To Nonviolent Intervention.
