The Court of the Gentiles
Publisher: Vintage | ISBN: NA | edition 2007 | CHM | 62 pages | 1,13 mb
Almost five hundred years had passed since the Second Temple (Zerubbabel's) was constructed by those who returned from the Babylonian Exile. After that the Temple had no doubt been repaired and enlarged, but it remained essentially the old building, inferior in beauty and grandeur to Solomon’s Temple and to some of the pagan temples which were around.

Publisher: Vintage | ISBN: NA | edition 2007 | CHM | 56 pages | 1,8 mb
The Temple Jesus knew was the Temple renovated, enlarged and beautified by Herod the Great. Architecturally it was new; religiously it was still Zerubbabel's Temple, rebuilt after the Jews returned from the Babylonian exile. The six centuries between the return from exile and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD are known in Jewish history as the age of the second Temple.

The Tax Collectors
Publisher: Vintage | ISBN: NA | edition 2007 | PDF | 72 pages | 1,42 mb
The Jews detested these tax collectors not only on account of their abusive and tyrannical attitude, but because the very taxes that they were forced to collect by the Roman government were a badge of servitude and a constant reminder that God had forsaken His people. The tax collectors were always classed by the people with the harlots, usurers, gamblers, thieves, and dishonest herdsmen, who lived promiscuous, lawless lives. Some of the common terms for the tax collectors were "licensed robbers" and "beasts in human shape."

Jewish Literature in New Testament Times
Publisher: Vintage | ISBN: NA | edition 2007 | PDF | 82 pages | 1,14 mb
There was no nation in all of antiquity who had been so immersed in their national writings as the Jews were in their law. Not even the Greeks in the zenith of the Periclean Age could come close. Some may have possessed a larger amount of text with vast literature, but the Jews were in love with their book and they were a people of that book. For the Jew, it was not merely a representation of a prized culture, but it was Torah… and Torah was, to him, the voice of almighty God. Its instruction was to be obeyed without question, and followed to the very letter. The moral law impacted every thought, the civil law influenced every judicial system within Judaism, and the ceremonial law affected every lifestyle from the home to the Temple.

The Florida/Hollywood mob connection, the CIA and O.J. Simpson (The Constantine report)
Publisher: Alex Constantine | ISBN: 0300121911 | edition 1995 | PDF | 39 pages | 2,64 mb
At least seven murders are associated in one way or another to the principles in the O.J. Simpson case: Nicole Simpson, Ronald Goldman, Brett Cantor, Michael Nigg, Casimire Sucharski, Sharon Anderson and Marie Rogers. Only O.J. Simpson and three Caribbean teenagers allegedly working for cocaine dealers were brought to trial for these crimes. In 1995 contemporary historian Alex Constantine wrote a report called The Florida/Hollywood Mob Connection that linked the Bundy murders to the underworld traffic in cocaine. His report, which cited sources such as the Associated Press, The Philadelphia Enquirer, the Los Angeles Times and the book, L.A. Secret Police by Mike Rothmiller and Ivan Goldman, did not see wide circulation.

Fascism and Genocide in Inter-War Europe (Routledge Studies in Modern History)
Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 041533960X | edition 2008 | PDF | 414 pages | 1,26 mb
Drawing on the latest research into the ideological dynamics of fascism, Aristotle A. Kallis’ fascinating new book is a major contribution to the understanding of the Holocaust, and the mass murder and genocide committed by Fascist regimes in the twentieth century.
Locating the Holocaust within an historical context , Kallis views the Nazi regime’s crimes against humanity as a specific product of the inter-war European climate of culture and politics. Refuting Daniel Goldhagen’s theory that the Holocaust came about because of a unique form of 'eliminationist' 'anti-semitism' in the German identity, Kallis asks crucial questions about the complex and problematic relationship between fascism, anti-semitism, race and inter-war eliminationism. For those studying the Holocaust, fascism or German history, Fascism and Genocide in Inter-War Europe will open eyes and minds to the theories of reasoning behind probably the most horrific event of the twentieth century.
