Examining the vivid, often apocalyptic church murals of Peru from the early colonial period through the nineteenth century, Heaven, Hell, and Everything in Between explores the sociopolitical situation represented by the artists who generated these murals for rural parishes. Arguing that the murals were embedded in complex networks of trade, commerce, and the exchange of ideas between the Andes and Europe, Ananda Cohen Suarez also considers the ways in which artists and viewers worked through difficult questions of envisioning sacredness. This study brings to light the fact that, unlike the murals of New Spain, the murals of the Andes possess few direct visual connections to a pre-Columbian painting tradition; the Incas’ preference for abstracted motifs created a problem for visually translating Catholic doctrine to indigenous congregations, as the Spaniards were unable to read Inca visual culture. Nevertheless, as Cohen Suarez demonstrates, colonial murals of the Andes can be seen as a reformulation of a long-standing artistic practice of adorning architectural spaces with images that command power and contemplation. Drawing on extensive secondary and archival sources, including account books from the churches, as well as on colonial Spanish texts, Cohen Suarez urges us to see the murals not merely as decoration or as tools of missionaries but as visual archives of the complex negotiations among empire, communities, and individuals.

Over half of Americans believe in a literal heaven, in a literal hell. Most people who hold these beliefs are Christian and assume they are the age-old teachings of the Bible. Ehrman shows that eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament, and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught. He recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. Ehrman shows that competing views were intimately connected with the social, cultural, and historical worlds out of which they emerged. -- adapted from jacket

Saint Larius is an evangelical Christian and has ministered in Christian and secular venues. For several years, he was the host of a weekend radio show, and a co-host of a morning drive time show. Over three decades, he was affiliated with three major international ministries, pastored two churches, and is involved in marketplace ministry. "Larius" was born in America but has traveled to many countries of the world. Formerly an experienced sinner, but the love and grace of God touched his life and changed everything. He grew up belonging to a denominational church. A dramatic change came in his life during a time of great illness when he was miraculously healed, born again, and filled with the Holy Spirit. Prayer is the key to daily strength, guidance, and the miracles in Saint Larius' life. Being a guest speaker at a large church, one of the Church staff members said she saw two huge angels standing next to Saint Larius, one on the left and one on the right while he was speaking. When asked to pray for a lady in Hong Kong who was sick and had a fever, Saint Larius laid hands on her and prayed. According to the lady's testimony, she saw Jesus walk into the room and touch her; the fever left immediately, and she was healed. After a casual dinner and time of ministering to a U.S. Military Colonel and his wife, the officer said, "I feel like I've been in the presence of a General." Saint Larius is a loving, caring, down-to-earth, humorous and enthusiastic person, with a common-sense approach to life, the scriptures, and in his worldview.
