It is often difficult to describe beauty or even justify attempts to experience something beautiful. Yet if artists - whether painters or poets, actors or musicians, architects or sculptors - teach us anything, it is that the pursuit of beauty is a common feature among all humanity. As Cecilia Gonz?ílez-Andrieu contends, these varied experiences with artistic beauty are embedded with revelatory and prophetic power that not only affects a single individual but allows for communal formation.

Iulius Africanus (3rd cent.) is a fascinating writer in a period of transition. Widely travelled, he belongs to the intellectual élite of the second sophistic.

He can be considered the “father of Christian chronography”, since he authored the first Christian world chronicle (Chronographiae). However, he also wrote a comprehensive and multifaceted manual of many fields of knowledge, where the religious charac...

by Irenaeus Of Lyons
This work presents the Armenian version of second-century Irenaeus of Lyon's last two books on heresies.
The Coming Prophetic Revolution offers a unique and refreshing approach to the "heart issues" of the prophetic gifting. Centered around a character study of John, the beloved apostle, it develops the tie between intimacy with God and the corresponding grace of hearing his voice. Being a prophetic generation, the author explains, is not so much about giftedness as it is about people who have spent intimate time with the Lord Jesus and declared faithfully what they have heard from the mouth of God...
