The teenage son of a hetaera (woman of pleasure), Pheidippides and his beautiful young mother are not recognized as citizens of ancient Athens. Yet he is enchanted with the essence of the grand city-state and all the promise it holds. His short daily runs are on mere delivery errands, but he aspires to one day be among the elite foot couriers who run up to fifty miles on vital missions of state. When an impending invasion from faraway Persia, the world's most powerful empire-led by a temperamental tyrant bent on destroying democracy-threatens Athens and the entire land of squabbling Greek city-states, Pheidippides must undertake a grueling solitary trek to outrun enemy ships heading for his beloved city. Chased by assassins over a distance more than four times his usual runs, can he save Athens and its fledgling democratic ideals...and at what cost?

Free Download Plutarch's Pelopidas: A Historical and Philological Commentary By Aristoula Georgiadou
1997 | 258 Pages | ISBN: 3519076543 | PDF | 5 MB
This Commentary on the Life of Pelopidas originates with my doctoral dissertation of which it is a completely revised and expanded version. My aim has been to present and assess the information available on this Life and, where possible, to resolve its outstanding problems. In some cases, however, where I feel that the evidence does not allow for certainty, I follow Wittgenstein's precept "Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, daruber muss man schweigen." I wish to thank John Buckler of the University of Illinois for his many insightful suggestions and corrections which he provided with unfailing generosity; David Larmour of Texas Tech University, who offered numerous helpful comments and stylistic advice; Gerald Browne and David Sansone of the University of Illinois for their valuable advice, especially with regard to philological matters. I am also grateful to Ludwig Koenen, Christoph Konrad and an anonymous reader, all of whom made many essential corrections and saved me from several infelicities. It is also a pleasure to acknowledge my debt to Angeliki Tzanetou, who always gave most generously of her time and intellect, and to Carol Buckler, who has been a source of thoughtful and provoking conversation over the years. Work on the manuscript was greatly facilitated by the technical assistance of Devin Casenhiser, Mary Ellen Fryer and Walter Spencer.

Free Download Justification in Perspective: Historical Developments and Contemporary Challenges By Bruce L. Mccormack (editor)
2006 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 0801031311 | PDF | 3 MB
The last thirty years have seen much scholarly debate surrounding the Protestant doctrine of justification. These discussions have especially been fueled by the development of the "New Perspective on Paul," which goes against the traditional understanding of firstcentury Judaism as a legalistic and worksbased system and so changes our understanding of Paul's writings on justification in the New Testament.This major work presents a historical survey of the doctrine's development from the early church through the Reformation and on to today. Contributors include Henri Blocher, Tony Lane, Bruce McCormack, Carl Trueman, David Wright, and N. T. Wright. Though these distinguished authors have different perspectives, they approach the topic graciously, making for a constructive dialogue that will help pastors, students, and interested laypersons wrestle with this important theological issue.
