Turkmen are traditional handwoven rugs originating from the nomadic tribes of Turkmenistan and surrounding regions in Central Asia. Turkmen rugs have a long history dating back centuries and are woven by various Turkmen tribes, including the Tekke, Yomut, Ersari, and Saryk tribes. These rugs were traditionally woven for everyday use, as well as for special occasions and ceremonies. Turkmen rugs are characterized by their distinctive geometric designs and motifs, often featuring repeating patterns of guls (medallion motifs), geometric shapes, and tribal symbols. The designs are typically bold and symmetrical, reflecting the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the Turkmen people. Turkmen rugs are traditionally made using high-quality wool sourced from local sheep. The wool is prized for its softness, durability, and ability to absorb natural dyes. Traditional Turkmen rugs are known for their rich, warm colors, including deep reds, blues, oranges, and browns. These colors are achieved using natural dyes derived from plants, insects, and minerals found in the region. Turkmen rugs are handwoven using the symmetrical Turkish or Ghiordes knot. This knotting technique results in a dense and sturdy pile, making the rugs durable and long-lasting. Turkmen rugs come in various sizes, ranging from small prayer rugs to large room-sized carpets. They are most commonly rectangular or square in shape, although some may have more unusual shapes depending on their intended use. Antique Turkmen rugs can be highly prized by collectors due to their age, craftsmanship, and historical significance. Genuine antique Turkmen rugs can date back several decades or even centuries, with each piece reflecting the unique cultural identity of the tribe that created it. The value of Turkmen rugs can vary depending on factors such as age, condition, size, design complexity, and provenance. Antique Turkmen rugs, especially those in good condition with rare designs, can fetch high prices among collectors. Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserve the beauty and integrity of Turkmen rugs. This includes regular vacuuming, rotating the rug to prevent uneven wear, and professional cleaning when necessary.Shipping Notes

Absolutely superb and greatly needed
Format: Hardcover
I have read quite a few N.T. Wright books, but this one sounds a cry for something that is most needed in the church today and that is Christian character formation. When virtue is spoken in other places it is most often done so from the wrong angle, but Wright gets it right. The whole idea that after we get "saved", we have done all that is needed, besides inviting a few others to come and join us is tackled by N.T. Wright in this book. Wright explains why Christian character matters and how it relates to God's eschatalogical plan of New Creation. Wright deals with virtue and what exactly it is and how to form Christian virtue. According to Wright, we should practice things like doing right, loving, forgiving, turning the other cheek, etc, until such practice becomes second nature. Wright does not leave out the Holy Spirit in the process, but calls us back to Spiritual disciplines. There is no cheap grace or legalism in this book. Somehow Wright has stuck the right balance between the two poles of liscense and legalism. I recommend this book for all Christians.

BIBLICAL AND THEOLOGICAL NAVIGATION THROUGH PARTISAN POLITICS!
We used N. T. "Tom" Wright's book as the sourcebook for our sermon series and Sunday School lessons during the 2016 national election season in the USA. Due to the unprecedented rancor and division in our country, which always overflows into the life of the church, we needed a solid, biblically-based and theologically-sound source to discuss the body politic, and apply biblical principles to it to help our people navigate these troubled waters. It also needed to be truly non-partisan, not just pay lip-service to non-partisanship then let the true partisan colors shine through, as many authors and books seem to do. Wright's being British and many of his illustration also being so really helped make application without raising defenses or starting arguments. His high view of the authority of scripture and the willingness to be convicted and challenged by the Bible rather than attempt to use the Bible to justify political positions was indeed refreshing. Many purchased the book in our congregation, and I found it be to an excellent source to develop sermons and lessons from. We give this the highest recommendation and comment Dr. Wright on his excellent and needed help in this area of our national life.

Helpful, But Better Treated Elsewhere
N. T. Wright's God in Public is a collection of lectures spanning nearly twenty years on God, public life, politics, the Bible, and Christian witness in our time. These thoughts are relayed in Wright's signature style, which combines academic and intellectual insight, accessible illustrations, and plain speech, and definitely have the character of the spoken word given not only to address broad themes but specific events. Some essays are more occasional than others.
While each essay is engaging and informative, Wright has touched on many of these themes more fully and more profoundly in other works. You won't find much new here, only different angles on much discussed subjects like postmodernism, virtue, the atonement, the significance of the life of Jesus, and the problem of evil. Wright's reminders about the meaning of the kingdom of God, his exposition of power, and the victory of Christ and on the cross (and how our view of the atonement has implications for public service and prophetic witness) are all helpful, even where they have been explored at more depth and greater clarity elsewhere.
The oldest lecture in this collection was first offered in 1999, and the most recent in 2015. The political landscape, and Christian witness therein, has shifted somewhat since Wright's last lecture, not only in the United States but across the globe. In my estimation the challenges are even more daunting. I hope Wright will continue to apply his intellect to the challenges we face today, calling the church back to Scripture and to prayer for guidance and wisdom in how best to proclaim and to embody the good news of and about Christ.
