A fresh and daring take on ancient apocalyptic books. The year 167 b.c.e. marked the beginning of a period of intense persecution for the people of Judea, as Seleucid emperor Antiochus IV Epiphanes attempted -- forcibly and brutally -- to eradicate traditional Jewish religious practices. In Apocalypse against Empire Anathea Portier-Young reconstructs the historical events and key players in this traumatic episode in Jewish history and provides a sophisticated treatment of resistance in early Judaism. Building on a solid contextual foundation, Portier-Young argues that the first Jewish apocalypses emerged as a literature of resistance to Hellenistic imperial rule. She makes a sturdy case for this argument by examining three extant apocalypses, giving careful attention to the interplay between social theory, history, textual studies, and theological analysis. In particular, Portier-Young contends, the book of Daniel, the Apocalypse of Weeks, and the Book of Dreams were written to supply an oppressed people with a potent antidote to the destructive propaganda of the empire -- renewing their faith in the God of the covenant and answering state terror with radical visions of hope..Binding Type: Paperback

Ultra-Light, Cooling & Comfortable – Great for Night Sweats!
Team Name: Cooling Comforter, Size: Full/Queen(90"x90"), Color: 01dark Grey
The DOWNCOOL Cooling Comforter Set (Queen Size 90”×90”) is a fantastic choice if you tend to sleep hot. The comforter uses advanced cooling fabric technology that absorbs body heat and helps reduce skin temperature by a few degrees, making it ideal for summer or warm climates.
The material feels cool to the touch, lightweight, and breathable, so you stay comfortable without feeling heavy or sweaty. It also features moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties, which help keep the bed fresh throughout the night.
The set includes 3 pieces (comforter + 2 cooling envelope pillowcases), and the pillowcases add an extra cooling effect around your head and neck. The fabric is soft and skin-friendly (often OEKO-TEX certified), making it safe for everyday use.
It’s also machine washable and durable, maintaining its cooling performance even after multiple washes, which makes it practical for long-term use.
