LET THE POWER OF THE GODS RUN THROUGH YOU  Magic is not limited to the arcane castings of wizards. Divine magic is just as important, if not more so, in fantasy gaming. No adventuring party lasts long in battle without the healing powers of their clerics and the holy might of their paladins, or makes it far through the wilderness without the skills of their druids and rangers. And have you ever noticed how the most vile villains follow even more vile deities?  The Book of Divine Magic provides many new ways to define your divine spellcasters. Twenty-one new deities - good, evil, and neutral - are introduced, complete with dogmas, portfolios and domains. Along with the new domains, you'll find over 100 new spells, from minor orisons to fate-changing 9th-level spells. Several major houses of worship are detailed, to act as important places in a character's past, a destination for their future, or even a home base. For years, druids and rangers have had their animal companions, and paladins their warhorses - now clerics can have divine animal companions too! Dozens of new magic items are revealed, from handy adventuring aids to the holiest of relics.  Both players and Game Masters will find The Book of Divine Magic an indispensable tool for creating unique characters and exciting plotlines.

Nonnus of Nisibis, Commentary on the Gospel of Saint John (Writings from the Islamic World) (Writings from the Greco-Roman World)

A new English translation of the first text translated from Arabic to Armenian for research and classroom use Robert W. Thomson translates this ninth-century commentary defending the miaphysite theological position of the Armenian church against the chalcedonian position of the Greek Byzantine church. Nonnus's exegesis of the gospel falls in the context of trends in Eastern Christian biblical exposition, primarily the Syrian tradition. Therefore, Thomson emphasizes the parallels in Syriac commentaries on the book of John, noting also earlier Greek writers whose works were influential in Syria. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the Armenian church and church history. Features: <ul>
<li>Introductory material on the text's history, manuscript traditions, and theological importance</li> <li>Translation of the Armenian text and commentary</li> <li>Bibliography covering the Armenian, Greek, Syriac, and Arabic texts as well as secondary sources</li> </ul>
