| The Complete Infidels Guide to the Koran
The Koran. It may be the most controversial book in the world. Some see it as a paean to peace, others call it a violent mandate for worldwide Islamic supremacy. How can one book lead to such dramatically different conclusions?
The truth is, not many Westerners know whats in the Koran, since so few have actually read iteven among the legions of politicians, diplomats, analysts, and editorial writers who vehemently insist that the Koran preaches tolerance.
Now, in The Complete Infidels Guide to the Koran, New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer unveils the mysteries lying behind this powerful book, guiding readers through the controversies surrounding the Korans origins and its most contentious passages. Stripping out the obsolete debates, Spencer focuses on the Korans decrees toward Jews, Christians, and other Infidels, explaining how they were viewed in Muhammads time, what theyve supposedly done wrong, and most important, what the Koran has in store for them.

| Moses and Pharaoh: Dominion Religion vs. Power Religion
In the fifteenth century before the birth of Jesus, Moses came before Pharaoh and made what seemed to be a minor request: Pharaoh should allow the Israelites to make a three-day journey in order to sacrifice to their God. But his was not a minor request. Given the theology of Egypt, it was an announcement of an anti-humanist revolution.
The conflict between Moses and Pharaoh was a conflict between the religion of the Bible and its rival, the religion of humanism. It is not common for scholars to identify Egypt's polytheism with modern humanism, but the two theologies share their most fundamental doctrines: the irrelevance of the God of the Bible for the affairs of men; the evolution of man into God; the impossibility of an infallible word of God; the nonexistence of permanent laws of God; the impossibility of temporal judgment by God; and a belief in the power of man.
What Bible commentators have failed to understand is that the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh was at heart a conflict between two major religions in man's history, dominion religion and power religion, with the third major religionescapist religionrepresented by the Hebrew slaves. What they have also failed to point out is that there is an implicit alliance between the power religion and the escapist religion. This alliance still exists.
This commentary on the first 18 chapters of Exodus is a detailed study of the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh. It discusses the implications of this conflict in several areas: theology, politics, sociology and especially economics. It is eye-opening and will forever change the way you understand the Exodus. Three extended appendices are included that deal with the problem of chronology, population growth and decline, and Egyptian symbolism and architecture. Both a Scripture index and a topical index are included which make the book a valuable reference work.
