The theme of divine judgement has often been treated; but usually with a concentration on one it its two main aspects: either that which is seen in the present life and in history or that which is believed to occur only after death. This new study seeks to combine the two aspects. It also tries to cover the whole spectrum of the ancient religions. Special attention is given to Israel; Greece; and Egypt. Israel's neighbours are also considered; and there are discussions of Judaism; Christianity; and Zoroastrianism. In several areas; notably in Egypt and Israel; it is shown that punishment in this life is sometimes presented as a fate that man brings upon himself rather than as one imposed by God; though always against a moral background derived from religion. The origins of judgement after death in the Judaeo-Christian tradition are examined in some detail and elements are traced to Egyptian; Zoroastrian; and Judaic sources.

Vol 1 cover the cockpit in 3D Vol 2 goes into the air frame construction and lay out; land gear detail; engine nacelles for the B C models and some of external engine; and all the items external on the fuselage. Just a well done and fascinating look at the Ar 234. Well worth the purchase.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy MarcosVery detailed drawings and great selection of pictures2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Ar 234 conclusionBy Jim DavisThis is the 62nd book in Kagero's Monographs series and volume II (of 2) devoted to the Ar 234. It is an 8-1/4" x 11-3/4"; 120 page; square bound card cover. There are three unbound fold outs included so; as always; if buying second hand make sure these are included.The book breaks down similarly to volume I; the previous volume in this series. The first 30 pages are devoted to a brief service history of the aircraft supported by numerous but not always the best quality black and white photos. There follows 24 pages of drawings reproduced from contemporary factory documentation. These are certainly not without interest but the German captions are not translated forcing the non-German speaking reader to online translation services for enlightenment. One and a quarter of the unbound foldouts also feature factory drawings.There follows two pages of modern line drawings of the Ar 234C-3 in 1/72nd scale. There are seven views - the normal six and a profile with the wing removed to show the entire; unobscured fuselage. One and a half of the unbound foldouts feature the same drawings in the larger 1/48th and 1/32nd scales. The final quarter of a foldout shows some detailed drawings by Brian Hygate of the Ar 234B including inboard profiles and many details.The book concludes with 64 pages (including rear cover) of high quality computer graphics of both the Ar 234B and Ar 234C. Exterior features are extensively covered.As was the case for volume I everything *except* for the modern line drawings and the computer graphics appeared in the first (one volume) edition of this book; Monograph 33 from 2007; by the same author. The present book also reproduces the black and white photos at a somewhat larger size in many cases. The cover painting is new as well. The earlier (2007 edition) also included some "masking foil" that is not included here.In conclusion; the drawings and graphics represent a substantial upgrade in value for my money and completely justifies buying both volumes of the new edition even if one has the first one. Way too often Kagero tries to get readers to double dip; that is; buy the same material twice with little to no new material. This time around they did it the right way.
