This book is a fictionalized treatment of the Gospel. A well-preserved manuscript is discovered, dating from the late first century A.D. It is written in the common Greek language of the eastern Roman provinces and purports to be an account of the life and acts of one Jeshua, written by a Roman centurion whose servant he had healed. This Jeshua was an itinerant Jewish preacher from the time of the Emperors Augustus and Tiberius. After introductory statements by the archeologist, by a friend to whom he had entrusted the manuscript and by an expert on ancient manuscripts, there follows the legionary's own preface. He gives a brief biography of himself and his family origins at Rome and his career as a soldier, first in Gaul and then in Syria and Palenstine as an officer of the X Legion, Fretensis. What follows is a synthesis of the four canonical gospels, combined into a single narrative, interspersed with copious questioning, analysis and commentary by the ancient writer. Deeply impressed by the healing of a beloved young servant, after retiring with the rank of military tribune he devoted the rest of his life to interviewing those who had known Jeshua and gathering their written accounts of this life and mission. His Roman viewpoint and military experience are antithetical to Jeshua's teaching, yet he has an undeniable attraction to that teaching. The beloved servant, once a slave, has been manumitted and serves as an amanuensis to the writer. Their joint effort has produced thje manuscript in question. In the end the legionary admits the power and cogency of Jeshua's message and reluctantly accepts its meaning for himself. His servant, Demetrios, ends the manuscript with his own confession of belief, for, as he says, he had no doubt about Jeshua ever since the day he was healed of a virulent fever at the age of 14.

When an important mathematician celebrates a landmark birthday, other mathematicians sometimes gather together to give papers in appreciation of the life and work of the great person. When a mathematician as influential and productive as Euler celebrates an anniversary as important as the 300th, a single meeting isn't sufficient to present all of the contributions. Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was the most important mathematician of the 18th century. His collected works, with 800 books and articles, fill over 70 large volumes. He revolutionized real analysis and mathematical physics, single-handedly established the field of analytic number theory, and made important contributions to almost every other branch of mathematics. A great pedagogue as well as a great researcher, his textbooks educated the next generation of mathematicians. During the years leading up to Leonhard Euler's tercentenary, at more than a dozen academic meetings across the USA and Canada, mathematicians and historians of mathematics honored Euler in papers detailing his life and work. This book collects more than 20 papers based on some of the most memorable of these contributions. These papers are accessible to a broad mathematical audience. They will appeal to those who already have an interest in the history of mathematics. For those who don't, they will serve as a compelling introduction to the subject, focused on the accomplishments of one of the great mathematical minds of all time. Topics include analysis-especially Euler's fearless and masterful manipulation of power series-geometry, algebra, probability, astronomy and mechanics.
