Babylon är mer än en forntida stad. Det är en verksam maktstruktur, en religiös förförelsekraft som uppenbarar sig som en mystisk sköka och ett vilddjur. Vad symboliserar detta? Gud kallar sitt folk ut ur Babylon, ut ur det religiösa system som bär hans namn men inte hans hjärta. När gränserna mellan sanning och lögn blir allt suddigare ropar en ängel från Gud: "Dra ut från henne mitt folk!"

Människor har i alla tider haft ett religiöst behov som inte kan ignoreras. Den insikten ledde till att kristendomen blev statsreligion i romarriket. Orsaken var att det behövdes ett cement för att hålla ihop en splittrad kultur och ett rike som höll på att falla sönder. Idag skakar världen och man har kommit fram till samma lösning, att använda religionen som cement för att skapa fred. Man säger att alla trosuppfattningar har rätt och är olika vägartill samme Gud. Här är inte Jesus ”Vägen”, utan snarare ”i vägen”, därför introduceras en annan Jesus – en religionsstiftare vid sidan om andra. Samtidigt växer en annan rörelse världen över. - I Kina står en arbetare med lyfta händer och ber för sitt land. Klockan är 5 på morgonen. - I ett badkar i Nordafrika står en imam som blivit döpt till Kristus. Tårarna rinner. - I ett hem på Kuba samlas en församling som inte får bygga en kyrka. I sitt nybyggda jättestora ”vardagsrum”. Denna underjordiska rörelse representerar miljoner och den började redan i romarriket. Utanför statskyrkan växte en förbjuden församling fram som höll fast vid namnet Jesus. INGA ANDRA GUDAR är en omvälvande resa genom tider, riken och kulturer där vi följer kampen om församlingens gudagivna identitet och människors sätt att genom historien bevara eller förvränga den. För att förstå denna utveckling behöver vi gå tillbaka till början. RECENSIONER Bland det bästa jag läst. En verklig ögonöppnare!

I denna bok möts hans intresse för teologi, religionshistoria och Guds profetiska ord med de erfarenheter författaren samlat på sig genom livet.

Some 1700 years ago, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman world. In part, it was a calculated move to create peace and unity in a fragmenting Empire. Are we seeing something similar in the 2020s? The world is shaking once more and the response from many religious leaders is to promote the idea that all faiths are simply different ways to the same God. To them, one world religion would be an effective tool for peace. But there's a problem: Jesus, the 'Way', stands in their way! So, to achieve their aims they must remodel Jesus as the founder of a religion, like all the others. Meanwhile, all around the world another movement is growing. - In China, a worker is standing with his hands raised, praying for his country. It’s 5 o’clock in the morning. - In North Africa, an imam is standing in a bathtub, tears running down his face – he has just been baptized to Christ. - In Cuba, a group of believers is meeting in the enormous, newly built “lounge room” of a house, because they are not allowed to build a church. This underground movement represents millions and has its roots in the Roman Empire. Outside the state church, a forbidden congregation emerged that was being faithful to the Name of Jesus. NO OTHER GODS is a revolutionary journey through eras, kingdoms and cultures in which we follow the struggle for the God-given identity of the Church and how it has been upheld or distorted throughout history. To understand this development, we need to go back to the beginning. REVIEWS “One of the best books I’ve read. A real eye-opener.” KG Larsson, pastor and theologian “A very factual, accurate, informative and well written book. Very interesting and revealing reading. It is certainly worthy of attention and of being referred to in the public debate.” Börje Norlén, Freelance Journalist “It’s very readable despite its extensive content. The thing that causes me most joy, is how at the same time as it exposes the darkness and its lies, it also sheds light on the genuine essence of the Church and what true revival Christianity is all about.” Kristofer Aspén, film maker “It was like reading a very exciting thriller. It’s well written, it states historical facts and has many source references. The author has done a work of great quality, having read and studied extensively, so that he has solid ground to stand on. I can understand that the research for this has taken some years. Throughout the book, Per-Arne Imsen points to Jesus.” Christer Åberg, Apg29, Sweden’s biggest Christian blog "With prophetic insight, the author carefully follows events in the world. He exposes and criticizes syncretism in all its forms and asserts the unique position of Christianity and Jesus as the only way to God. Imsen’s book is comprehensive and calls for contemplation, but it’s an eye-opener and in part quite frightening. First and foremost, the book ought to be read by priests, pastors and church leaders." Bo Wettéus, BTh “Interesting and relevant – extraordinary! Anyone interested in examining current world trends within the religious sphere – comparing for example the ecumenism of our day, and the conditions for it, with what the NT says about Jesus – certainly has the opportunity to do so here. We are somewhat unaccustomed to raising questions about those things that characterize the spirit of the time. Since we ourselves are kind of wrapped up in it, we don’t see it. It is a very long time since I read a book that puts its finger on so much that is worthy of our attention. I’m grateful to the author for taking the time and trouble to write this book. Recommended reading for all those with a keen interest in philosophy/religion, historically and today.” Britt-Inger Lillbäck, Lecturer “A unique book of its kind. No other author has so thoroughly and so penetratingly tackled the task of confronting and disproving the “Christian” spirituality – that is both old and modern… The author has, with God’s help, done the Church a great service by writing and publishing this hyper-contemporary book… A need for prophets is often expressed in Christian circles. Well, at least in this book Per-Arne Imsen appears to be one of them.” Sigvard Svärd, author and Pentecostal pastor “No Other Gods is an extremely well written book that takes us back to the origins of the Church and describes its development all the way from the first Church to the Church of our day, looking also into the future. Using a wealth of references to further literature, research and the Bible, Imsen defines what is biblical and what is human thought. He also gives an analysis of what has gone wrong and the dangers that we face today. Some church trends, both positive and negative, are being explained with the help of the Word of God. A very informative, sometimes frighteningly explicit, but also tremendously rewarding book that can give you necessary direction in today’s society, set against the glorious hope we have in Christ Himself.” Helena Vestman, German missionary ABOUT THE AUTHOR After 40 years as a pastor Per-Arne's ministry has become increasingly international, both as a travelling preacher and as a TV-producer in Scandinavia. Now with NO OTHER GODS Per-Arne makes his debut as an author. This is a book where a keen interest in theology, history of religion and God's prophetic Word are brought together with the author's own experience gained during his lifetime.

NINGÚN OTRO DIOS es la primera edición en español de Inga andra gudar de Per-Arne Imsen. Ahora disponible en sueco, inglés, finlandés y español. ACERCA DEL LIBRO Los seres humanos siempre han tenido una necesidad religiosa que no se puede ignorar. Esa idea llevó a que el cristianismo se convirtiera en la religión estatal del Imperio Romano. La razón era que se necesitaba un cemento para mantener unidos una cultura fracturada y un reino que se estaba desmoronando. Hoy el mundo tiembla y han llegado a la misma solución: utilizar la religión como cemento para crear la paz. Se dice que todas las creencias son correctas y son caminos diferentes hacia un mismo Dios. Aquí Jesús no es ”el Camino”, sino ”en el camino”, por eso se introduce a otro Jesús: un fundador religioso junto a otros. Al mismo tiempo, otro movimiento está creciendo en todo el mundo. - En China, un trabajador levanta las manos y ora por su país. Son las cinco de la mañana. - En una bañera en África del Norte, se encuentra un imán que ha sido bautizado a Cristo. Las lágrimas están fluyendo. - En un hogar en Cuba se reúne una congregación a la que no le permiten construir una iglesia. En su enorme ”sala de estar” recién construida. Este movimiento clandestino representa a millones y comenzó ya en el Imperio Romano. Fuera de la iglesia estatal surgió una congregación prohibida que se aferraba al nombre de Jesús. NINGÚN OTRO DIOS es un viaje transformador a través de tiempos, reinos y culturas donde seguimos la lucha por la identidad dada por Dios a la iglesia y la forma en que las personas a lo largo de la historia la preservan o distorsionan. Para comprender este desarrollo debemos volver al principio. RESEÑAS DEL LIBRO Uno de los mejores libros que he leído. Una verdadera revelación. KG LARSSON, pastor y teólogo Uno queda impresionado de lo bien leído que es el autor. Con visión profética, sigue cuidadosamente los acontecimientos del mundo. En primer lugar, el libro debe ser leído por sacerdotes, pastores y líderes de la iglesia. (BO WETTÉUS, BTh) ¡Un libro excelente! (DANIELA PERSIN, jefa de televisión, Heaven TV7) La tesis de Imsen sobre el Cristianismo evangélico versus la Iglesia institucional a lo largo de la historia, contiene mucha sustancia y debe tomarse muy en serio y considerarlo detenidamente. (BO-KRISTER LJUNGBERG, DTh) ¡Un saludo profético directo a este tiempo! (ROGER LARSSON, evangelista) ¡Un libro tremendamente interesante que me ha dado muchos momentos de epifanía! Con sus numerosas referencias y material de investigación, es único en su tipo. Cubre gran parte de la historia que desconocemos y es imprescindible para todos aquellos que quieran saber hacia dónde se dirige el catolicismo romano. (NILS-OLOV NILSSON, DTh) ¡Todo el mundo necesita leer este libro! (OWE CARLSSON, Canal 10, Suecia.) He leído el libro y realmente lo aprecio. Siento una carga por Escandinavia. (Donnie Swaggart, pastor, Family Worship Center, LA, USA) ACERCA DEL AUTOR Con NINGÚN OTRO DIOS, Per-Arne hace su debut como autor. Este es un libro donde se unen un ávido interés por la teología, la historia de la religión y la Palabra profética de Dios, con la propia experiencia del autor adquirida durante su vida.

This is an in-depth case study of a joint operating arrangement (between the "Seattle Times" and the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer") and its impact on the five surrounding daily newspapers in its market. The study examines this impact in the context of ten factors in the market, including suburbanization and direct mail. The author focuses on three major topics - circulation, advertising and staffing - to see how they have changed. The study looks at changes to see if they have an impact on the market and on the traditional role of newspapers, which is to provide information and ideas necessary for civic intelligence.

How Little is Enough? Testimony of a Pilgrim by Steinunn Knúts-Önnudóttir is a key component of the artistic PhD thesis How Little is Enough? Sustainable Methods of Performance for Transformative Encounters. The book contains an essay and manuscripts of the four performances of the artistic research; No Show, Island, Strings and Pleased to Meet You. The essay is a testimony of the artist’s journey and gives an insight into the artistic research process, while providing an overview of the findings. In the essay Steinunn Knúts-Önnudóttir explores how the performing arts can respond to the current environmental and social challenges, by investigating the affordances of relation specific performances through methods such as performative encounters and porous and embracing dramaturgy through the prism of existential sustainability. How Little is Enough? Testimony of a Pilgrim was presented as part of Dr Steinunn Knúts Önnudóttir’s PhD dissertation at Malmö Theatre Academy in September 2024. Steinunn Knúts-Önnudóttir, born in Malmö in 1965, is a performance maker and artistic researcher based in Iceland. She has worked as a director, writer, dramaturge, and performer in Iceland, the UK, Scandinavia, and beyond, with her work playing in Reykjavik, Malmö, New York, Vienna, online, on television, and radio. Steinunn was a dramaturge at the City Theatre in Reykjavik and a lecturer and dean at the Iceland University of the Arts. In her work, she focuses on existentially sustainable, relation-specific performances and performative encounters. Steinunn is also a mother of three, a theologian, life coach, and pottery maker.

There is a growing recognition that the diversity of life comprises both biological and cultural diversity. But this division is not universal and, in many cases, has been deepened by the common disciplinary divide between the natural and social sciences and our apparent need to manage and control nature. This book goes beyond divisive definitions and investigates the bridges linking biological and cultural diversity. The international team of authors explore the common drivers of loss, and argue that policy responses should target both forms of diversity in a novel integrative approach to conservation, thus reducing the gap between science, policy and practice. While conserving nature alongside human cultures presents unique challenges, this book forcefully shows that any hope for saving biological diversity is predicated on a concomitant effort to appreciate and protect cultural diversity.

We conventionally understand the book as a vessel for words, a place where the reader goes to have a private experience with written language. But readers' relationships with books are much more complex. In The Pilgrim and the Bee, Matthew P. Brown examines book culture and the rituals of reading in early New England, ranging across almanacs, commonplace books, wonder tales, funeral elegies, sermon notes, conversion relations, and missionary tracts. What emerges is a new understanding of the book at once as a material good, existing within the economies of buying, selling, giving, and receiving; as an object of reverence and a medium for the performance of reading; and as an organizational system for word, sound, and image.The product of extensive archival research, The Pilgrim and the Bee brings together the disciplines of book studies and performance theory to reconsider the literary history of early America. Brown focuses on the reader's body, carefully studying reading practices during the first three generations of English settlement, with particular emphasis on the way such practices operated in the social rituals of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Understanding Puritanism as a style of piety predicated on access to texts, he describes a canon of texts (devotional "steady sellers") that, with the Bible, served as conduct literature for pious readers. These devotional manuals were reprinted and read frequently and helped to shape the social identities of gender, race, class, faith, and age. To Brown, seventeenth-century devotional readers are both pilgrims, treating texts as continuous narratives of redemptive journeying, and bees, treating texts as flowers or hives, as spatial objects where information is extracted and deposited discontinuously.

The diverse contributors to this issue of Plough Quarterly focus on what it means to be a peacemaker. Peacemaking, they show, is a riskier and more ambitious undertaking than we may have imagined. Today we must wage peace where thousands of children are being murdered by militias or forced to fight as soldiers. We need peacemakers in divided cities from Paris to Baltimore, peacemakers in a culture with little tolerance for Christian witness, and peacemakers in churches riven by ideological fights and petty grudges, not to mention making peace with our spouses, and with ourselves. Hear from active peacemakers on the frontlines of these battles and explore insights on peacemaking from Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, Badshah Khan, Jeannette Rankin, Charles Spurgeon, André Trocmé, Peace Pilgrim, Albert Schweitzer, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Eberhard Arnold. And as always, Plough Quarterly includes world-class art by the likes of Marc Chagall, Egon Schiele, Lisa Toth, Carl Larsson, Ben Shahn, Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, Paul Klee, Antonello da Messina, and others.Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, fiction, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus’ message into practice and find common cause with others.
