In his new book, acclaimed scholar Jack Miles poses a question: How did our forebears begin to think about religion as a distinct domain, separate from other activities that were once inseparable from it?

Starting at the birth of Christianity--a religion inextricably bound to Western thought--Miles reveals how we in the West have come to isolate religion as an object of study, and how drastically our perception has changed over time and across societies. Through the break between the Christian and Jewish communities, the fall of the Roman Empire, the rise of Islam, and the growth of Western empires, Miles reveals how Western religious thought has always been based on comparison of the known with the emergent unknown. Religion as We Know It challenges readers to unmoor themselves from traditional thinking and observe how the events of the still-unfolding past continue to shape how we think of religion today.

Attractive, well-made functional storage
Color: Dusty Blue, Size: 2 Layers, 20 Hooks
I'm quite happy with this product. It's an orderly and attractive way to store a lot of jewelry. I've put my favorites in the visible front drawer and can easily see the rest by pulling out the back drawer. I looked at a similar storage box with see-through panels on both sides, but it didn't look quite as well made and you'd have to turn it around to see side B (i.e., no less work than pulling out the back drawer). This unit feels well put together, looks nice, and sits stably on top my dresser. I'm only using it for chain-and-pendant style necklaces (leaving the bulkier stuff in an upright acrylic spoke-style container) but have it fully loaded and have doubled up on a few pegs. None of the pegs bent while I was adding pieces.

Great necklace organizer!
Color: White, Size: 2 Layers, 20 Hooks
This necklace organizer is perfect for keeping necklaces separated and in view. I was tired of having them tangled in my jewelry box and this does the trick. Plus it is very well made and looks lovely in my closet. I highly recommend this for people who want to keep their necklaces organized!
