|  | A Comprehensive Grammar to Hammurabi’s Stele by M. E. J. Richardson
This complete grammar of Codex Hammurabi is formally arranged and can be the basis for learning the rest of Akkadian grammar. Students of Biblical Hebrew or Classical Arabic will find it a most convenient introduction to this sister language. The cuneiform text has been set out in columns opposite a phonetic transcription, thus enabling the comprehensive set of citations illustrating various points of Akkadian grammar to be easily checked within their wider linguistic context. This book, when used in conjunction with the author’s previous book “Hammurabi’s Laws”, makes it possible for a student to learn to read and understand the whole text of Hammurabi’s Stele. |

Why do religious people believe? In this work, Smith describes and interprets the results of interviews conducted with Mormons and Evangelicals about their reasons for faith. Social, spiritual, and rational contributions to faith all receive careful analysis.
Adults in a free society believe--or do not believe--for many reasons. The people around us influence our religious beliefs. The pressure to believe can be helpful or hurtful--or both. Religious experience is often central. People believe that they have encountered God in ways that are faith-affirming. But how can we know whether these experiences are authentically spiritual and not just psychological? And which beliefs are actually being confirmed by such experiences? Finally, reason sometimes confirms and sometimes undermines faith. To what extent should religious beliefs be based on evidence? Should we allow reason to override religious experience? Smith addresses all these issues--and more--and in the end recommends a particular approach to faith that integrates the sociological, spiritual, and rational elements of religion. | |
