Elis
Elis examines the city of Elis from its earliest history, through the Archaic period and the Classical period where it reached its zenith, to its decline in the Hellenistic, Roman and later periods. Through examining this prominent city-state, its role in contemporary politics and the place of Olympia in its territory, Graeme Bourke allows the reader to explore broader issues, such as the relationship between the Spartans and their various allies, often collectively referred to as ‘the Peloponnesian League’, the connection between political structures and Panhellenic sanctuaries, and the network of relationships between various ancient sanctuaries throughout the Greek-speaking world. The volume, which makes available in English for the first time much of the debate about the city, provides a valuable resource for students and academics studying the city of Elis, the Peloponnese and the relationships within it, and pre-Hellenistic Greece as a whole.
Eli’s Sons: A Warning to Leaders
⚖️ A priestly lineage. A moral failure. A sobering lesson for those called to lead. ⚖️ Hophni and Phinehas, the sons of Eli, held positions of great responsibility as priests in Israel. Yet, their abuse of power, corruption, and disdain for God’s commands brought dishonor to their calling and devastation to their family. Eli’s Sons: A Warning to Leaders delves into this tragic story, offering a powerful cautionary tale for anyone in a position of influence. Through the failures of Eli’s sons—and Eli’s own shortcomings as a father and leader—this book examines the critical importance of integrity, accountability, and faithfulness in leadership. In Eli’s Sons: A Warning to Leaders, you will discover: 👉 The character and actions of Hophni and Phinehas, and how their corruption and irreverence toward God led to judgment. 👉 The role of Eli as both a priest and a father, and how his failure to discipline his sons contributed to their downfall. 👉 The consequences of spiritual negligence, both in personal lives and in the communities leaders are called to serve. 👉 How God’s judgment against Eli’s house serves as a reminder that leadership is a sacred trust that requires accountability and obedience. 👉 Practical lessons for modern leaders about the dangers of compromise, the importance of moral integrity, and the need to prioritize God’s commands above all else. Eli’s story is not just a tale of family failure—it is a sobering reminder of the weight of leadership and the responsibility leaders have to steward their influence wisely. While Eli’s sons brought dishonor to their priestly calling, God’s justice prevailed, ensuring that His plans would not be thwarted by human failure. How are you stewarding your role as a leader? What steps are you taking to ensure integrity and accountability in your leadership, whether at home, in ministry, or in the workplace? 🌟 Eli’s sons remind us that leadership without integrity leads to destruction, but God’s grace provides an opportunity to learn, grow, and lead with faithfulness and humility. 🌟 Step into Eli’s Sons: A Warning to Leaders and reflect on the critical lessons from this story. Leadership is a privilege and a responsibility—may we lead with honor, faithfulness, and a heart fully devoted to God.
Excavations at Pylos in Elis
When the site of Elean Pylos was threatened by the construction of a dam in 1968, a team from the University of Colorado moved in to salvage as much information as possible about the ancient town before it was submerged. This report is divided chronologically: Middle Helladic, Geometric, Archaic, Classical, Roman, Byzantine, and Frankish. Each chapter consists of a brief description of the remains in the field, followed by a catalogue of the finds. While earlier finds are mainly of wells, the Classical settlement was the size of a large village providing everyday finds of bronze, lead, iron, and pottery. Some fragments of terracotta figurines and amber suggest a certain amount of wealth, but the primary character of the whole site is agricultural. Roman and Frankish remains are primarily funerary.
