Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why didn't the Hungarian Jews do more to resist the 'Final Solution' Why didn't the Allies bomb the gas chambers at Auschwitz Why did the Allies sabotage schemes to save the Jews In this provocative book, historians from Hungary, Israel, Britain and the United States examine one of the greatest tragedies of World War II -- the deportation and murder of 435,000 Hungarian Jews during the last months of the war when German military and diplomatic power was on the wane.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Much has been written about Mary Magdalene over the years, mostly about who she was not. Who really was Mary Magdalene The living woman behind the image is still too little known, and Esther de Boer here attempts to fill this gap. Examining not only the Gospel texts and texts from the church fathers, but also texts discovered in the Egyptian desert during the last century that were not contained in the church's tradition (not the least of which is the Gospel of Mary), de Boer presents a vivid, fascinating, and attractive picture of Mary of Magdala - disciple, apostle, and human being.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the most thorough investigation yet published on the early Christian apocalypse called the 'Ascension of Isaiah'. Knight examines all the critical issues in the study of this document, including matters of date, provenance and purpose. Particular attention is paid to the book's concepts of christology (with a view both to that christology's Jewish mediatorial background and to its relationship with wider Christianity) and millenarianism (with a view to the social setting of the writer and his readers). Questions concerning the author as haggadist and exegete are also addressed.
