1. Book of Kings - an atlas of royal genealogies
May 02, 2014

Considering that history is or at least, should be the foundation of any culture and civilization, you should know that the Book of Kings might reveal interesting things regarding the founding fathers of a rather impressive number of countries. This book is not a typical history book. It is actually a display of some of the most important royal family trees. It is true that the specialized market is rich in choices when it comes to history books, including those that speak from a genealogical perspective. However, it is worth mentioning that Book of Kings is one that is well written and docume... (read more)

2. How the King James Matthew Genealogy is Incorrect
November 16, 2013

by Frederick Hoehn, copyright 2013. The Gospel of Matthew tells of the birth of Jesus, and has a genealogy for him. But that genealogy in the King James Version of the Bible, book of Matthew, is incorrect. I am sure that the scholars that King James of England put on the job intended to get it right. But they were a little off. The King James Version came out in England in 1611, so it's been around for four centuries. It is a best-selling version of the Bible. But I'll give you here a more accurate genealogy than the KJV Matthew genealogy. As a younger man, I tried ... (read more)

4. Music and Dance of Rajasthan
April 01, 2012

Music and Dance is the most important part of Rajasthan. Rajasthan is never complet without Music and Dance. The rich folklore and culture has added some more sparkles to its glory making Rajasthani dance and music a treasured jewel in Indian culture. The origin of the Rajputs remains somewhat in doubt. That they were of foreign origin is suggested by the elaborate genealogies that the Brahmins created to accord them the Kshatriya (warrior) caste.

5. WHO AM I?
October 11, 2011

Luke 1:17 And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared." As Moses foresees the rebellious future of the nation he helped birth, he speaks to the generation that will see the most tragic punishment and the longest exile: the generation that hosted the Word made flesh, the generation of the Master (Deuteronomy 32:5; Matthew 16:4). He tells them, Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and ... (read more)
