Jamestown, the Buried Truth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min

What was life really like for the band of adventurers who first set foot on the banks of the James River in 1607? Important as the accomplishments of these men and women were, the written records pertaining to them are scarce, ambiguous, and often conflicting, and those curious about the birthplace of the United States are left to turn to dramatic and often highly fictionalized reports. In Jamestown, the Buried Truth, William Kelso takes us literally to the soil where the Jamestown colony began, unearthing the James Fort and its contents to reveal fascinating evidence of the lives and deaths of the first settlers, of their endeavors and struggles, and of their relationships with the Virginia Indians. He offers up a lively but fact-based account, framed around a narrative of the archaeological team's exciting discoveries.Once thought to have been washed away by the James River, James Fort still retains much of its structure, including palisade walls, bulwarks, interior buildings, a well, a warehouse, and several pits, and more than 500,000 objects have been cataloged. Dr. Kelso and his team of archaeologists have discovered the lost burial of one of Jamestown's early leaders, presumed to be Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, and the remains of several other early settlers, including a young man who died of a musket ball wound. In addition, they've uncovered and analyzed the remains of the foundations of Jamestown's massive capitol building. Refuting the now decades-old stereotype that attributed the high mortality rate of the Jamestown settlers to their laziness and ineptitude, Jamestown, the Buried Truth produces a vivid picture of the settlement that is far more complex, incorporating the most recent archaeology to give Jamestown its rightful place in history and thus contributing to a broader understanding of the transatlantic world.

A Critical Study of Ibn Taymias Response to Christianity

Introduction Historical, political and religious factors occasioned to a vast interfaith polemical literature between Muslims and Christians. Along history, there had been many such polemical responses, in which the respective writers exerted to rebut the opponents' doctrines and prove their own. The crusaders and their political existence in the holy land and elsewhere, and their collusion with the Tatars against the Muslims at some epochs of history induced many antipathetic reactions that ranged from military to academic. Besides, the Islamic duty of defending and propagating Islam imposed and provoked the responses of many Muslim scholars. Among the very prominent responses is that which Ibn Taymiyyah, who lived in the thirteenth and fourteenth century, launched. Ibn Taymiyyah wrote prolifically almost about every subject of religious import. Regarding refuting Christianity, apart from the small tracts and chapters in different books, he wrote a voluminous book challenging their assertions against Islam and disproving Christian allegations and doctrines. Significance of the Study This is an attempt to carry out a critical study of Ibn Taymiyyah's response to Christianity. This response was triggered by a letter Ibn Taymiyyah received from Paul of Antioch, the bishop of Sidon See. Ibn Taymiyyah who was always keen to counter attack any innovation in religion from within the Muslim community could not have condoned this daring transgression in which the necessity of Islam as the only valid means for salvation is challenged. He, therefore, ventured to write a long, cogent response where (as usual) he utilized his unmatchable polemical power to keep the Muslim's theology in its pristine shape. Ibn Taymiyyah mentions at the introducing pages the main points that were claimed by the Christian bishop in the letter. They can be reiterated thus: ¿ That Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was not sent to the Christians. Rather, he was sent exclusively to the pagan Arabs and the Quran testifies to this. ¿ Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) spoke highly about their religion in the Quran,
