The New Testament

Interlinear Greek - Arabic

في الحوارات المسكونية بين الكنائس والطوائف المختلفة، وفي الحوار بين المسيحيين وأصحاب الديانات الأخرى، وكذلك بالنسبة لأي دارس للكتاب المقدس... يتساءل المرء عن الترجمة التي يمكنه الاستناد عليها دون أن يكون لدية المعيار الذي يمكن به تقييم ومقارنة الترجمات المختلفة المتاحة للعهد الجديد باللغة العربية.
ولذلك يبقى النص اليوناني هو الأساس الذي يجب أن نعود إليه، والذي يعبر عن النص الأصلي للعهد الجديد كما دون باللغة اليونانية في زمن الرسل أو بعد موتهم. من أجل هذه كانت هذه الترجمة بين السطور لأسفار العهد الجديد بحسب طبعة النص اليوناني الحديثة والمعروفة اختصاراً بـ NA27/UBS4. والتي من خلالها يستطيع القارئ والباحث في الكتاب المقدس أن يجد الوسيلة التي تجعله يكتشف غنى النص اليوناني من خلال قراءته للنص العربي بين السطور.

هذا الأطلس يبرز عدداً من الابتكارات المهمة، على رأسها الجمع ما بين أطلس للكتاب المقدس وأطلس لتاريخ الكنيسة ونمو المسيحية عبر ألفيتين من الزمن منذ ولادة المسيح. إضافة لذلك، تحتل الخرائط الحديثة لتاريخ الكنيسة والمتضمنة في هذا الأطلس مركزاً متميزاً لم يسبق له مثيل بهذا الشكل. فكان هدفنا أن نخرج بكتاب يجمع الدقة والشمولية، وهما أمران أساسيان في العالم الأكاديمي، بالإضافة إلى الوضوح والتشويق ليكون في متناول القارئ العام.

إن هذا الأطلس التاريخي – وهو ترجمة عن الإنجليزية- يعطى فكرة شاملة ويوضح الكثير مما في النصوص الكتابية من صعوبة. فيصبح رفيق كل مثقف يقرأ الكتاب المقدس أو تاريخ الكنيسة فيتمكن بواسطته أن يتعرف بوضوح المواقع الجغرافية على الخارطة، ويتابع متغيراتها عبر الزمن.

The evidence from archaeology is only one proof of Biblical accuracy, and that's the focus of this series of articles. We offer you a sampling of the evidence that's available —documentation showing that details of the people, places and events described in the Bible, many of them mentioned only in passing, have been verified by archaeologists and historians. Many excellent books have been published in recent years that verify the dependability of Scripture, and no doubt more will follow as new discoveries come to light.
This is a compilation of the 24-part series presented in the Good News magazine over the past several years.

* An interesting study in 24 essays covering all books and eras of the Holy Bible.

How did the loss of one city change the history of Europe? In the Middle Ages, Constantinople's perfect geographic location--positioned along a land trade route between Europe and Asia as well as on a strategic seaway from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean-- made the city extremely desirous, and as a result, prone to attack. Under the control of the Roman and Byzantine Empires, Constantinople became known as "the Eye of the World," a center of government, trade, art, religion, and learning, and was even more desirous. Rulers built three sets of walls to protect Constantinople from attacks by Asiatic tribes. But the city's fall to the Turkish Ottomans in 1453 marked the official end of the Byzantine Empire--and the end of the Middle Ages. Learn how the fall of Constantinople became one of history's most pivotal moments.

* Simply written and well illustrated, this book is a very good introduction to the events that marked the fall of the Byzantine Empire and the rise of the Ottoman.

Cairo contains the greatest concentration of Islamic monuments in the world, and its mosques, mausolea, religious schools, baths, and caravanserais, built by prominent patrons between the seventh and nineteenth centuries, are among the finest in existence.
Jim Antoniou takes his readers on a guided walk through the very heart of historic Cairo, among many of its greatest architectural treasures. Illustrated throughout with the author's own detailed maps and plans and lively sketches, the walk begins at the monumental gates in the north walls of the Fatimid city, follows the ancient thoroughfare of al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah south past Khan al Khalili and al-Ghuriya to the Street of the Tentmakers, turns left along the famous Darb al-Ahmar of the Arabian Nights, and ends at the magnificent mosque of Sultan Hasan at the foot of the Citadel. Over ninety historic buildings along the way are identified and described; many of them open to visitors.

* With its well-written guided walk & its impressive hand sketches, this book is one of the most interesting books about Historic Cairo.

نشر الدكتور يوسف زيدان أستاذ الفلسفة الإسلامية رواية عزازيل التي أثارت ضجة ولا تزال! وجعل موضوعها هو نقد الفترة المسيحية من تاريخ الإسكندرية التي كان البابا كيرلس عامود الدين هو موجهها وقائدها ومحرك الأحداث فيها. وقد صور د. زيدان، كنيسة الإسكندرية بـ"الكنيسة التي أظلمت العالم"!! ووصف بطريركها، البابا كيرلس، بالقاسي المتجبر غليظ القلب وأنه حرض على قتل الفيلسوفة الوثنية هيباتيا انتقاما منها! واضطهد اليهود وطردهم من الإسكندرية تجبراً! كما زعم أن الهراطقة هم الذين كانوا على صواب وأن أتباع كنيسة الإسكندرية هم الهراطقة!! وصورهم كأبطال الرواية والذين كانوا يمثلون الخير والحب والجمال! في حين صور كنيسة الإسكندرية ورجالها بالأشرار وممثلو الشر في العالم!! وبرغم زعمه أن ما كتبه هو مجرد رواية وإبداع فني، فقد أكد د. زيدان في كل أحاديثه الصحفية والتلفزيونية، وفي البحث الذي قدمه في مؤتمر القبطيات الأخير، أن كل ما جاء في الرواية هو حقيقي! سواء الأحداث أو الوقائع أو الشخصيات باستثناء شخصية البطل هيبا التي رسمها من خياله! والسؤال الآن هو؛ هل ما ادعاه د يوسف زيدان صحيح؟! وهل ما كتبه في روايته يدل على معرفة كافية بالتاريخ؟! أم يدل على جهل بالتاريخ؟! أو يدل على أنه يزور التاريخ؟

This unique reference book places buildings in their social, cultural and historical settings to describe the main patterns of architectural development, from Prehistoric to the early 20th century. Again in the words of Sir Banister Fletcher, this book shows that 'Architecture ... provides a key to the habits, thoughts and aspirations of the people, and without a knowledge of this art the history of any period lacks that human interest with which it should be invested.'

Alphabetic writing is one of the principal features of Western culture. Our knowledge of the early history, development and spread of the alphabet is constantly changing. This introduction to West Semitic epigraphy and paleography is the author’s personal way of introducing this field of study on the basis of the evidence available to date.

* The book may sound a little bit sophisticated for non-specialists, but I found it very interesting to know about the history & evolution of alphabetic scripts like Aramaic, Arabic, Syriac, Hebrew & Greek. The visual summary provided below, can be of great help to the readers.

انتشرت المسيحية فى الشرق فى القرن الأول الميلادى، فالكنائس الشرقية الكبرى (الكنيسة القبطية، السريانية...) ذات أصول رسولية مبكرة، كما اكتسبت هذه الكنائس - فى العصور الأولى للمسيحية - أهمية خاصة فى الدفاع عن المسيحية وترسيخ الإيمان. ولكن مع انفصالها عن الكنيسة الغربية فى العصور الوسطى، عانت كثير من هذه الكنائس من العزلة وفقدت الاتصال بالعالم الخارجى، إلا أنها ظلت تعتز بتراثها وميراثها الرسولى المتواصل

هذا الكتاب هو ترجمة لكتاب بنفس العنوان صدر باللغة الإنجليزية ويعتبر من أوائل الكتب التى ساهمت فى إعادة تعريف الغرب بالتراث المسيحى العريق فى الشرق. يقدم الكتاب دراسة ممتعة عن الكنائس المسيحية الشرقية وهى الكنيسة القبطية، الأثيوبية، اليعقوبية، النسطورية، الأرمنية، الهندية، المارونية وكذلك الكنائس البائدة فى بلاد النوبة والشمال الأفريقي، من خلال مسح موجز لقصة كل كنيسة على حدة منذ تأسيسها وحتى مشارف وقتنا الحاضر، ملقياً الضوء على تاريخها، ترتيبها، وتراثها الفكرى والأدبى والفنى
