- THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF UNIVERSALISM, FROM THE TIME OF THE APOSTLES, TO ITS CONDEMNATION IN THE FIFTH GENERAL COUNCIL, A.D. 553, by Hosea Ballou, Boston, 1829. This book presents the history of the belief of universal salvation in the ecclesia of God. It gives evidence that the majority of believers understood and believed in the eventual salvation of every human being. I prefer Hanson's book, but this one is an excellent resource. This Google book can be downloaded in its entirety for free. - https://archive.org/details/universalismprev00hans

- WITNESS OF THE STARS, 4th edition, by E.W. Bullinger, 1921. This interesting book compiles the work of other authors (with Bullinger's own contributions) regarding the "Gospel in the Stars" that tells of the plan of God written in the heavens by the names of the stars. This intriguing theory is unproven because there can be no certainty as to the original star names in Hebrew before Moses. - www.archive.org/details/witnessofstars00bull

- Pompei, A Virtual Tour. The Roman city of Pompei is close to the present city of Naples in Italy. Pompei was destroyed on August 24, 79 C.E. by the nearby volcano Vesuvius which buried the city in ash.

The city of Pompei was contemporary with Jerusalem (which was destroyed 9 years earlier in 70 C.E. by the Roman army). The photos are excellent and the commentary is insightful. - www.thecolefamily.com/italy/pompeii/index.html#top
