ARSINOE LIBRARY
LISTS OF PUBLICATIONS
One of the core missions of the Arsinoe Temple Library is to publish Derkomai spiritual teachings, but a main spiritual teaching of our faith is developing a broad-based education in the humanities. For this purpose, we preserve classical literature across cultures and review historical epics through a prism of scholarship that makes the narratives accessible to a modern audience while preserving the historical content. This requires a fine balance between original text, contemporary articles, and commentaries that highlight elements of the narrative and add supporting research on historical topics a modern reader would lack. A merger of literature and history. The result is a published classical or historical work that unfolds at a level of enjoyment as experienced by the original audience for modern readers.
