Hopefully you will find something about Peter that you too can associate wit...

In the west a new city was growing, populated by the middle classes, the epitome of 'Victorian values'. Across the city the situation was very different. The East End of London had long been considered a nether world, a dark and dangerous region outside the symbolic 'walls' of the original City.Using the Whitechapel murders of Jack the Ripper as a focal point, this b...

A Study of The Book of Genesis:To many, the Book of Genesis is a source of confusion. Some of the reasons for this include: For such a relatively small book, it covers a massive expanse of time, so some things are not covered as thoroughly as some would like. Throughout a lot of the Book, there is no written history to back anything up. And, there is a side, both in the scientific world and even in the Christian world, which refuses to accept the truths that are told in the Book, a...

Nether World is a fascinating exploration of the everyday lives of Victorian Londoners through the city’s police courts, where people of all classes came to complain about those who had hurt, abused or stolen from them.

Paul could probably be called the most fervent Christian ever. However, before he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Master, he was a Jew; a Pharisee; a persecutor of Christians who would go to no end to see Christians hunted down, imprisoned, beat, tortured, and even killed; and he did it all in the name of God. But once he turned to Jesus, while on the Damascus road, he became just as fervent for Christianity as he had been against it.In this study, we will examine the life of...
