The Thirty Pieces of Silver by Lucia Travaini Pdf

The Thirty Pieces of Silver: Coin Relics in Medieval and Modern Europe discusses many interconnected topics relating to the most perfidious monetary transaction in history: the betrayal of Jesus by Judas for thirty pieces of silver. According to medieval legend, these coins had existed since the time of Abraham’s father and had been used in many transactions recorded in the Bible. This book documents fifty specimens of coins which were venerated as holy relics in medieval and modern churches and monasteries of Europe, from Valencia to Uppsala. Most of these relics are ancient Greek silver coins in origin mounted in precious reliquaries or used for the distribution of their wax imprints believed to have healing powers. Drawing from a wide range of historical sources, from hagiography to numismatics, this book will appeal to students and academics researching Late Antique, Medieval, and Early Modern History, Theology, as well as all those interested in the function of relics throughout Christendom. The Thirty Pieces of Silver is a study that invites meditation on the highly symbolic and powerful role of money through coins which were the price, value, and measure of Christ and which, despite being the most abject objects, managed to become relics.

30 Pieces of Silver by Carolyn McCray Pdf

The Eiffel Tower is attacked... by a Christian suicide bomber. Within the twisted wreckage a cache of bones is found. Bones that are inscribed with ancient Greek, letters that identify the remains as those of John the Baptist--along with a promise to guide the seeker to the tomb of the Savior himself. Tasked with untangling this millennia-old mystery, Dr. Rebecca Monroe, a paleoarchaeologist, and Special Forces sergeant Vincent Brandt are hounded across three continents as they attempt to piece together the bones' clues. But their quest will not be an easy one. Born at the foot of the Cross, a secret society known only as the Knot has guarded the Savior's bones, and its members will do anything--even commit genocide--to protect the dark and controversial truth of Christ's final days.

30 Pieces of Silver by Jonas Clark Pdf

When Jesus betrayed Jesus he was paid thrity pieces of silver. When he tried to return the money the chief priests said, This money was paid to have a man killed. We can't put it in the temple treasury. They could pay, we learn, for Jesus' murder with the silver, but they couldn't put it back in the church's bank account. That's the murderous spirit of religion that is still lurking about actively seeking to destroy His Church and your life. The religious spirit did not disappear after the resurrection of Jesus.

Betrayed for 30 Pieces of Silver: From a Wife's Perspective by Monica Alvarez Pdf

Have you ever considered the fact that nothing "just happens"? Everything that was done to you in your life required God's permission. We are always going to have a Goliath, a Judas, a Pontius Pilate who stands against us in our lives. It was my Judas who set the stage and put me on course for my destiny. Remember Legion? Remember how Jesus cast the demons out of his body? These demons fled into a herd of pigs, only to be drowned in the river. The townspeople came to witness Legion's miracle, but then asked Jesus to leave when they realized it was their pigs that drowned. Isn't that how most people are? Happy for us until they realize it costs them something. All of a sudden, they're gone. This too required God's permission. We all have a Judas who has betrayed us. We all have a Goliath that fought us, we all have a Pontius Pilate who crucified us, and a Pharaoh who assigns us our identity. All these obstacles in our lives were positioned to set us on course. What they meant for evil, God uses for our good.

Judas and Jesus by Jean-Yves Leloup Pdf

A radical reinterpretation of the relationship of Judas and Jesus • Reexamines the role and the purpose the key figure of Judas played in the crucifixion story • Reveals how Judas was “betrayed” by Jesus, and how, taken to the limits of his humanity, he lost everything he most cherished on the path to his true self The familiar story of Judas, betrayer of Jesus, is striking because of its incomprehensibility. Why would one of Christ’s disciples and companions of the heart deliver him up to his enemies and a barbarous, ignominious, and certain death for thirty pieces of silver? Jean-Yves Leloup’s careful investigation of the gospels, various apocryphal texts, and most importantly the Coptic codex known as the Gospel of Judas, leads him to conclude that there is more to the familiar story of Judas than a simple demonstration, viewed through one man, of humanity’s inherent failings. The betrayal of Jesus to the Romans was Jesus’s idea, explains Leloup. Jesus persuaded Judas to play the role of “evil” in humankind by telling him that this enactment was crucial to God’s plan and would set Judas by Jesus’s side for eternity: “There where I am,” spoke Jesus to Judas, “is where I wish you, too, to be.” But to get there, Judas--a metaphorical representation of the darker side present in all human beings and the “shadow” counterpart to his Messiah dying on the cross-- must first shed all his human qualities. His failings of greed, deceit, and cowardice--and even his faith and hope--are washed away in the despair that engulfs him. A parallel moment occurs for Jesus on the cross, when he comes to know the despair of separation from God. The moment Judas “loses” his life and all that gave it meaning--his God, his law, his justice, his Messiah--is the very moment he finds that which cannot be discarded--life eternal. Thus, in the moment of his ultimate extremity, Judas receives Jesus’s true message and his intended gift.

The Last Coin by James P. Blaylock Pdf

A biblical betrayal drives this trilogy from the World Fantasy Award–winning author, “a singular American fabulist” (William Gibson, author of Neuromancer). The price of immortality . . . Two thousand years ago, there lived a man who sold some valuable information for a fee of thirty silver coins. His name was Judas Iscariot, and he is no longer with us. The coins, however, still exist—and still hold an elusive power over all who claim them . . . Like Andrew Vanbergen, whose attempts at innkeeping bring in stranger business than he ever expected. And Aunt Naomi, whose most prized family heirloom is a silver spoon—with a curiously ancient-looking engraving. And especially old Mr. Pennyman, who is only five silver coins short of immortality . . . “The Last Coin should confirm Blaylock’s position as a trendsetter, breaking new ground rather than just exploring the old.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Against a lyric vision of the Southern California coast, cosmic conspiracy theories bump heads in a gleeful farce to produce another strange and wonderful book from the idiosyncratic author of Homunculus and Land of Dreams.” —Publishers Weekly “Weird and wonderful touches abound; Blaylock makes good use of his coastal setting, extracting his own brand of magic from familiar places and familiar things. While Biblical conspiracies and revisionist scriptures are all the rage now, Blaylock got the jump on the current crop by several years.” —SFF Chronicles

Silver by Steve Savile Pdf

Two thousand years ago, thirty silver Tyrian shekels were paid to secure the most infamous betrayal of all time. Later, the grandsons of Judas Iscariot, Menahem and Eleazar ben Jair, melted and reforged the silver shekels as a dagger which was lost... until now. A religious cult calling itself the Disciples of Judas has arisen in the Middle East. Followers in thirteen European cities martyr themselves in the name of Judas Iscariot and promise forty days and forty nights of terror. Sir Charles Wyndham pulls together a team of combat specialists, codename Ogmios, to fight the terrorists and protect the Pope, whom they believe the terrorists intend to assassinate.
