The Coptic Contribution

To Christian Civilization

Book Data
Author: Aziz S. Atiya
Publisher: St. George Coptic Church, Canada

Format: PDF

Like a great and solitary Egyptian temple standing sorrowfully on the edge of the desert and weathering sandstorms over the years until it became submerged by the accretions of time, the ancient Coptic Church led its lonely life unnoticed on the fringe of Christian civilization and was buried in the sands of time and oblivion. Like the same massive temple, too, it has proved itself to be indestructible though battered by the winds of change. As an organism, its potential vitality though enfeebled by sustained fighting, has survived in a latent form under the weight of accumulated rubble. In the last few decades, with increasing security and liberty from within and support and sympathy from
without, its sons have started removing the sands of time from around the edifice, which has shown signs of shining again.

ISBN: 9780554054117
Format: PDF
Overveiew
Comprehensive in its scope but thoroughly entertaining to read, this delightful is a primer for the infrastructure and arts of the ancient Egyptians, much of which can still be visited and marveled at today. From a look at civil and military architecture -including private dwellings and fortresses -as well as temples and tombs, to a prcis on the fine and industrial arts -from painting and sculpture to pottery, ivory, and metal-this is all you need to know to begin exploring the lost realms of ancient Egypt.

French Egyptologist Sir Gaston Camille Charles Maspero (1846-1916) served as director of the Egyptian Antiquities Service and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo from 1881 to 1886, and again from 1899 to 1914. Perhaps the most prolific author on the subject ever, he also wrote The Dawn of Civilization (1884), The Struggle of Nations (1897), and The Passing of the Empires (1900).

Lost Nubia

A Centennial Exhibit of Photographs from the 1905-1907 Egyptian Expedition of the University of Chicago

Format: PDF

This book is the catalogue for the inaugural exhibit of fifty-two historic photographs from the Oriental Institute Archives of objects from ancient Nubia. These photographic images document some of the archaeological sites in Nubia that have disappeared under the waters of Lake Nasser and a few places that are so remote that few tourists have ever seen them. These documentary images, taken during the consecutive winter field seasons of 1905-1906 and 1906-1907, represent just a small part of a corpus of nearly 1,200 black-and-white negatives that were made by the Egyptian Expedition of the University of Chicago, under the direction of James Henry Breasted.

رواية عزازيل

نشر الدكتور يوسف زيدان أستاذ الفلسفة الإسلامية رواية عزازيل التي أثارت ضجة ولا تزال! وجعل موضوعها هو نقد الفترة المسيحية من تاريخ الإسكندرية التي كان البابا كيرلس عامود الدين هو موجهها وقائدها ومحرك الأحداث فيها. وقد صور د. زيدان، كنيسة الإسكندرية بـ"الكنيسة التي أظلمت العالم"!! ووصف بطريركها، البابا كيرلس، بالقاسي المتجبر غليظ القلب وأنه حرض على قتل الفيلسوفة الوثنية هيباتيا انتقاما منها! واضطهد اليهود وطردهم من الإسكندرية تجبراً! كما زعم أن الهراطقة هم الذين كانوا على صواب وأن أتباع كنيسة الإسكندرية هم الهراطقة!! وصورهم كأبطال الرواية والذين كانوا يمثلون الخير والحب والجمال! في حين صور كنيسة الإسكندرية ورجالها بالأشرار وممثلو الشر في العالم!! وبرغم زعمه أن ما كتبه هو مجرد رواية وإبداع فني، فقد أكد د. زيدان في كل أحاديثه الصحفية والتلفزيونية، وفي البحث الذي قدمه في مؤتمر القبطيات الأخير، أن كل ما جاء في الرواية هو حقيقي! سواء الأحداث أو الوقائع أو الشخصيات باستثناء شخصية البطل هيبا التي رسمها من خياله! والسؤال الآن هو؛ هل ما ادعاه د يوسف زيدان صحيح؟! وهل ما كتبه في روايته يدل على معرفة كافية بالتاريخ؟! أم يدل على جهل بالتاريخ؟! أو يدل على أنه يزور التاريخ؟

The Ante-Nicene, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers

Translations of the writings of the Early Church Fathers.

Book Data
Author: Philip Schaff, Alexander Robers, et al.

Date: 1886 (Printed Version)
1996 (Electronic Version)
Language: English
Pages: N/A

ISBN: N/A
Format: CHM
Overveiew
A collection of 37 volumes published under three series:

The Ante-Nicene Fathers. Translations of the writings of the fathers down to A.D. 325 (9 Volumes)
One of the first great events in Christian history was the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, convened to organize Christian sects and beliefs into a unified doctrine. The great Christian clergymen who wrote before this famous event are referred to as the Ante-Nicenes and the Apostolic Fathers, and their writings are collected here in a ten-volume set. The Ante-Nicenes lived so close to the time of Christ that their interpretations of the New Testament are considered more authentic than modern voices. But they are also real and flawed men, who are more like their fellow Christians than they are like the Apostles, making their words echo in the ears of spiritual seekers. The Set includes the writings of the Apostolic Fathers in addition to various third and fourth century sources like: Justin Martyr, Irenaeus,Hermas, Tatian, Athenagoras, Theophilus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Origen and Others.

A Select library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian church. Series I (14 Volumes)
The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD marked the beginning of a new era in Christianity. For the first time, doctrines were organized into a single creed. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers did most of their writing during and after this important event in Church history. Unlike the previous era of Christian writing, the Nicene and Post-Nicene era is dominated by a few very important and prolific writers. Series I consists of eight volumes of the writings of St. Augustine, the greatest and most influential of the early Church Fathers, and six volumes of the treatises and homilies of St. Chrysostom.

A Select library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian church. Series II (14 Volumes)
The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD marked the beginning of a new era in Christianity. For the first time, doctrines were organized into a single creed. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers did most of their writing during and after this important event in Church history. Unlike the previous era of Christian writing, the Nicene and Post-Nicene era is dominated by a few very important and prolific writers. Series II contains in fourteen volumes the works of the Greek Fathers from Eusebius to John of Damascus and the Latin Fathers from Hilary to Gregory the Great. Several of the writings appear for the first time in English. The first three volumes are a complete collection of the historical writings of the Fathers, whose permanent value as the primary sources is universally acknowledged. Other volumes contain the works of eminent figures in early Christian history, such as Athanasius, Jerome, and Ambrose. The series concludes with the canons and decrees of the seven ecumenical councils, as well as canons of local synod with ecumenical acceptance.
