Who Is Jesus?: History in Perfect Tense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min

In Who is Jesus?, Leander E. Keck discusses the quest for the Jewish Jesus of history and challenges listeners to think seriously not only about Jesus' historical existence but also about his ongoing moral and theological significance. Keck clarifies the difference between the way Jesus is presented in the gospels and the way critical historians portray him. Keck looks initially at Jesus as a first-century Jew, conscious of the difficulty and importance of recovering Jesus' particular form of Jewishness. Taking issue with current assertions that Jesus did not expect the imminent arrival of God's kingdom, Keck contends that Jesus clearly expressed a conviction that God's definitive reign was impending and would transform the lives of those who responded affirmatively to his message. Keck goes on to probe the meaning of the crucifixion of Jesus, in light of the biblical understanding of God's holiness. Keck concludes his discussion by looking at Jesus' role in the moral life of the Christian community. The book is published by University of South Carolina Press. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Chalk Pit: The Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries 9 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 599min

Boiled human bones have been found in Norwich's web of underground tunnels. When forensic archaeologist Dr Ruth Galloway discovers the bones aren't as old as originally thought, it's time for DCI Nelson to launch a murder inquiry. What was initially just a medieval curiosity has taken a much more sinister nature.... Meanwhile, DS Judy Johnson is investigating the disappearance of a local rough sleeper. The only trace of her is the rumour that she's gone 'underground'. This might be a figure of speech, but with the discovery of the bones and the stories both Ruth and the police have heard of a vast community of rough sleepers living in the old chalk-mining tunnels under Norwich, the clues point in only one direction. Local academic Martin Kellerman knows all about the tunnels and their history - but can his assertions of cannibalism and ritual killing possibly be true? As the weather gets hotter, tensions rise. A local woman goes missing and the police are under attack. Ruth and Nelson must unravel the dark secrets of The Underground and discover just what gruesome secrets lurk at its heart - before it claims another victim. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Murder of Marilyn Monroe: Case Closed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min

Marilyn Monroe died under suspicious circumstances on the night of August 4, 1962. In The Murder of Marilyn Monroe: Case Closed, renowned MM expert Jay Margolis and New York Times best-selling author Richard Buskin finally lay to rest more than 50 years of wild speculation and misguided assertions by actually naming the screen goddess's killer. At the same time, they use the testimony of eyewitnesses to describe exactly what took place inside her house on Fifth Helena Drive in Los Angeles's Brentwood neighborhood. Implicating Bobby Kennedy in the commission of Monroe's murder, this is the first book to name the LAPD officers who accompanied the attorney general to her home, provide details about how the Kennedys used bribes to silence one of the ambulance drivers, and specify how the subsequent cover-up was aided by a noted pathologist's outrageous lies. This blockbuster volume blows the lid off the world's most notorious and talked-about celebrity death, and in the process also exposes the third gunman in the pantry who delivered the fatal bullet to the back of RFK's head - and the third gunman's female accomplice who, until now, has only been known to the LAPD and the FBI as "the girl in the polka-dot dress". ungekürzt.

Speer: Hitler's Architect , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1140min

A new biography of Albert Speer, Adolf Hitler's chief architect and trusted confidant, reveals the subject's deeper involvement in Nazi atrocities. In his best-selling autobiography, Albert Speer, Minister of Armaments and chief architect of Nazi Germany, repeatedly insisted he knew nothing of the genocidal crimes of Hitler's Third Reich. In this revealing new biography, author Martin Kitchen disputes Speer's lifelong assertions of ignorance and innocence, portraying a far darker figure who was deeply implicated in the appalling crimes committed by the regime he served so well. Kitchen reconstructs Speer's life with what we now know, including information from valuable new sources that have come to light only in recent years, challenging the portrait presented by earlier biographers and by Speer himself of a cultured technocrat devoted to his country while completely uninvolved in Nazi politics and crimes. The result is the first truly serious accounting of the man, his beliefs, and his actions during one of the darkest epochs in modern history, not only countering Speer's claims of non-culpability but also disputing the commonly held misconception that it was his unique genius alone that kept the German military armed and fighting long after its defeat was inevitable. ungekürzt.

Zen for Americans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 329min

Zen for Americans. Sermons of a Buddhist abbot by Soyen Shaku. Translated by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki. Narrated by Denis Daly. In a world riddled with irreconcilable conflict among doctrinaire religions, Soyen Shaku's crisp and incisive commentaries on Buddhism come across as particularly engaging. Shaku's eminently reasonable worldview and his skillful exposition of a truly universal definition of divinity and its inevitable necessity are both compelling and difficult to refute. In particular, this collection of discourses probes deeply and revealingly into the fundamental questions that occupy the minds of believers and unbelievers alike: why men cultivate religion in the first place and what the secret of its persistent vitality is. Contents:Translator's Preface The Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters The God-Conception Assertions and Denials Immortality Buddhist Faith Buddhist Ethics What Is Buddhism? The Middle Way The Wheel of the Good Law The Phenomenal and the Supra-Phenomenal Reply to a Christian Critic Ignorance and Enlightenment Spiritual Enlightenment Practice of Dhyana Kwannon Bosatz Buddhism and Oriental Culture The Story of Deer Park The Story of the Gem-Hunting The Sacrifice for a Stanza Buddhist View of War At the Battle of Nan-Shan Hill A Memorial Address for Those Who Died in the Russo-Japanese War ungekürzt.

Napalm and Silly Putty, Hörbuch, Digital, 148min

He was the inventor of Past-Tense TV (featuring Got Smart, Father Knew Best, and It Was Left to Beaver); the tireless crusader for such charities as the Center for Research into the Heebie Jeebies, Children of Parents with Bad Teeth, and the State Hospital for Those Who Felt All Right About a Year Ago; founder of the George Carlin Book Club (top titles: How to Act Laid-Back During a Grease Fire, Fill Your Life with Croutons, and The Meaning of Corn); and the only social commentator with the guts to point out that "the day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life." Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for—another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation. George wouldn't have it any other way. Language: English. Narrator: George Carlin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/high/000603/bk_high_000603_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Inspiration From a Social Media Bandit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min

The genesis of this audiobook, and the information, perceptions, and perspectives herein, spawned as a natural out-springing of a penetrating mind, rebellious spirit, and a critical, unwavering eye for subtlety. Verily, such was my state of being prior to the explosion of social media hegemony, in a time long before the ubiquitous application of intensive, technologically-driven social engineering.The purpose of this audiobook is to illustrate the ironical flipping of the script on social media - as a tool of social monitoring and control - to a platform of outspoken and direct questioning of social, political, and spiritual norms; the compliance and obedience to such notions; and the outright shattering of the constructed and contrived false paradigm we live in. As so concisely and insightfully stated and attributed to George Orwell, "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."The scope of this audiobook includes commentary, statements, questions, assertions, observations, poetry, and writings, sourced entirely from social media posts, touching on social, political, and spiritual subjects, with the intent of inducing critical thinking, spiritual exploration, and courage in the listener. This catalog of social media posts is being conveyed in "Rounds", in a steady stream of thought-provoking and soul-searching proverbial jabs, uppercuts, and counter-punches; prepare for the onslaught!The place is here; the time is now. ungekürzt.
