At the center of the story is Michael, a brilliant Professor at Princeton University who specializes in Middle Eastern anthropology and is an expert in ancient Semitic languages. Right at the heels of a shocking murder at the Saint Catherine Monastery in the Sinai, Michael is summoned by top Clergy to help lead the investigation. This pivotal event catapults Michael into a hazardous adventure of murders and intrigues set with the backdrop of religion and politics in the Middle East, including the theft of sacred relics from the Topkapi Museum, that takes him across Europe, Tel Aviv, Damascus, and Tehran in search of the truth. At the heart of all the mystery and intrigue, a race unfolds to uncover a secret parchment hidden within the missing sword of Muhammad that threatens to reveal the true successor to the Prophet and potentially shake the very foundation of Islam itself and complicate a tenuous balance of power in an already burning Middle East. During his adventures, Michael rekindles with an old flame while battling foes and dubious characters.

Download The Tenth Parallel Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A riveting investigation of the jagged fault line between the Christian and Muslim worlds The tenth parallel—the line of latitude seven hundred miles north of the equator—is a geographical and ideological front line where Christianity and Islam collide. More than half of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims live along the tenth parallel; so do sixty percent of the world's 2 billion Christians. Here, in the buzzing megacities and swarming jungles of Africa and Asia, is where the two religions meet; their encounter is shaping the future of each faith, and of whole societies as well. An award-winning investigative journalist and poet, Eliza Griswold has spent the past seven years traveling between the equator and the tenth parallel: in Nigeria, the Sudan, and Somalia, and in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The stories she tells in The Tenth Parallel show us that religious conflicts are also conflicts about land, water, oil, and other natural resources, and that local and tribal issues are often shaped by religious ideas. Above all, she makes clear that, for the people she writes about, one's sense of God is shaped by one's place on earth; along the tenth parallel, faith is geographic and demographic. An urgent examination of the relationship between faith and worldly power, The Tenth Parallel is an essential work about the conflicts over religion, nationhood and natural resources that will remake the world in the years to come.

Download Mecca and Eden Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Nineteenth-century philologist and Biblical critic William Robertson Smith famously concluded that the sacred status of holy places derives not from their intrinsic nature but from their social character. Building upon this insight, Mecca and Eden uses Islamic exegetical and legal texts to analyze the rituals and objects associated with the sanctuary at Mecca. Integrating Islamic examples into the comparative study of religion, Brannon Wheeler shows how the treatment of rituals, relics, and territory is related to the more general mythological depiction of the origins of Islamic civilization. Along the way, Wheeler considers the contrast between Mecca and Eden in Muslim rituals, the dispersal and collection of relics of the prophet Muhammad, their relationship to the sanctuary at Mecca, and long tombs associated with the gigantic size of certain prophets mentioned in the Quran. Mecca and Eden succeeds, as few books have done, in making Islamic sources available to the broader study of religion.
