Harold Bloom
A Literary Appreciation of the King James Bible

Bloom . . . has many arresting things to say and says them, often, with exquisite precision. He is, by any reckoning, one of the most stimulating literary presences of the last half-centuryand one of the most protean, a singular breed of scholar-teachercritic-prose-poet-pamphleteer.Sam Tanenhaus, The New York Times Book Review The King James Bible stands at the sublime summit of literature in English, sharing the honor only with Shakespeare, Harold Bloom contends in the opening pages of this illuminating literary tour. Distilling the insights acquired from a significant portion of his career as a brilliant critic and teacher, he offers readers at last the book he has been writing all my long life, a magisterial and intimately perceptive reading of the King James Bible as a literary masterpiece. Reading the King James Bible alongside Tyndales Bible, the Geneva Bible, and the original Hebrew and Greek texts, Bloom highlights how the translators and editors improved uponor, in some cases, diminishedthe earlier versions. Throughout, Bloom makes an impassioned and convincing case for reading the King James Bible as literature, free from dogma and with an appreciation of its enduring aesthetic value.

Calum Carmichael
If we look to the Bible for historical accounts of ancient life, we make a profound error. So contends Calum Carmichael in this original and incisive reading of some of the Hebrew Bible and New Testaments most famous narratives. Sifting through the imaginative layers of these texts with an uncanny sensitivity and a panoptic critical eye, he unearths patterns connecting disparate passages, providing fascinating insights into how ideas were expressed, received, and transformed in the ancient Near East, and demonstrating the remarkable subtlety and sophistication of the biblical views on marriage, sexuality, fertility, impurity, creation, and love.

Paganism in the Roman Empire

This is the first book to focus on the beliefs and practices common to all non-Christian religions of the Empire. After examining the successes of the more dynamic cults and the effects on paganism of the conversion of the Constantine, MacMullen concludes that the conversion of the Empire to Christianity was not as inevitable and complete as it has seemed up until now.

Alan F. Segal
Although Pauls writings have been intensively studied by Christian theologians, they have been dismissed by Jewish scholars as the meditations of an antagonistic apostate who broke completely with his Jewish past. In this revisionist account of Pauls work, Alan Segal argues that Pauls life can be better understood by taking his Jewishness seriously, and that Jewish history can be illuminated greatly by examining Pauls writings. By reading Paul from the viewpoint of the religion he left behind, Segal sheds new light on the man who played a critical role in both Judaism and Christianity.

Through a fascinating blend of stories and analysis, historian Craig Harline examines Sunday from its ancient beginnings to contemporary America in a fascinating blend of stories and analysis.

Harline illuminates these changes in enlightening profiles of Sunday in medieval Catholic England, Sunday in the Reformation, and Sunday in nineteenth-century Francehome of the most envied and sometimes despised Sunday of the modern world.

Holy Bones, Holy Dust

Charles Freeman
How Relics Shaped the History of Medieval Europe

Relics were everywhere in medieval society. Saintly morsels such as bones, hair, teeth, blood, milk, and clothes, and items like the Crown of Thorns, coveted by Louis IX of France, were thought to bring the believer closer to the saint, who might intercede with God on his or her behalf. In the first comprehensive history in English of the rise of relic cults, Charles Freeman takes readers on a vivid, fast-paced journey from Constantinople to the northern Isles of Scotland over the course of a millennium.

With a new Preface by the author
Noted historian and theologian Jaroslav Pelikan reveals how the image of Jesus created by each successive epochfrom rabbi in the first century to liberator in the nineteenth and twentieth centuriesis a key to understanding the temper and values of that age.
Christopher Lane
The Victorian era was the first great Age of Doubt and a critical moment in the history of Western ideas. Leading nineteenth-century intellectuals battled the Church and struggled to absorb radical scientific discoveries that upended everything the Bible had taught them about the world. In The Age of Doubt, distinguished scholar Christopher Lane tells the fascinating story of a society under strain as virtually all aspects of life changed abruptly. By analyzing the parallel battles over faith and reason in the nineteenth century and ours, he makes a case for the benefits of religious uncertainty.

The Second Crusade (11451149) was an extraordinarily bold, but largely unsuccessful, attempt to defeat unbelievers in the Holy Land, Iberia, and northeastern Europe. This definitive book casts new light on the origins, planning, and execution of the Second Crusade, uncovering its profound impact on both Europe and the Middle East.

Octavia, Daughter of God

The Story of a Female Messiah and Her Followers
John Henry Newman

The Challenge to Evangelical Religion
The Conversion of Scandinavia

Anders Winroth
Frank M. Turner
One of the most controversial religious figures of his time, John Henry Newman (18011890) split rancorously from the Church of England and converted to Roman Catholicism. In this provocative reappraisal of Newman and the Tractarian movement that he led, Frank Turner challenges previous understandings not only of the man but also of the religious and intellectual life in Victorian England.
Jane Shaw
The Panaceans have been extraordinarily fortunate in their biographer. Jane Shaw is an insightful, shrewd and humorous writer. She is never sarcastic or judgmental, and I ended the book admiring the indomitable Octavia who, for all her dottiness, was no charlatan but a genuinely religious figure.Jane Ridley, Literary Review This book uncovers the little-known story of the Panacea Society, a postWorld War I utopian community of remarkable English women led by Octavia, whom they believed was the daughter of God. Vividly told, by turns funny and tragic, Octavia, Daughter of God is about a moment at the advent of modernity, when a generation of newly empowered women tried to re-make Christianity in their own image, offering a fascinating window into the anxieties and hopes of the interwar years.

In this book G. W.

Surprisingly, his Dissertation on Predestination and Grace has never before been published in any form. Michael J.

The Life of Sarah Bernhardt
Shmuel Feiner
Translated by Anthony Berris
The German Socrates, Moses Mendelssohn (17291786) was the most influential Jewish thinker of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Feiners book is the first that offers a full, human portrait of this fascinating manuncommonly modest, acutely aware of his task as an intellectual pioneer, shrewd, traditionally Jewish, yet thoroughly conversant with the world around himproviding a vivid sense of Mendelssohns daily life as well as of his philosophical endeavors.
Robert Gottlieb
Though the Bernhardt literature is vast, Gottliebs Sarah is the first English-language biography to appear in decades. Brilliantly, it tracks the trajectory through which an illegitimateand scandalousdaughter of a courtesan transformed herself into the most famous actress who ever lived, and into a national icon, a symbol of France.

Leon Trotsky
Joshua Rubenstein
A Revolutionarys Life
Born Lev Davidovich Bronstein in southern Ukraine, Trotsky was both a world-class intellectual and a man capable of the most narrow-minded ideological dogmatism. Here, Trotsky emerges as a brilliant and brilliantly flawed man. Rubenstein offers us a Trotsky who is mentally acute and impatient with others, one of the finest students of contemporary politics who refused to engage in the nitty-gritty of party organization in the 1920s, when Stalin was maneuvering, inexorably, toward Trotskys own political oblivion.

Revolution as a Way of Life

Emma Goldman is the story of a modern radical who took seriously the idea that inner liberation is the first business of social revolution. Her politics, from beginning to end, was based on resistance to that which thwarted the free development of the inner self. The right to stay alive in ones senses, to enjoy freedom of thought and speech, to reject the arbitrary use of powerthese were key demands in the many public protest movements she helped mount. Vivian Gornick draws a surpassingly intimate and insightful portrait of a woman of heroic proportions whose performance on the stage of history did what Tolstoy said a work of art should do: it made people love life more.

Earthly Visions
T. J. Gorringe
Theology and the Challenges of Art

This stimulating book argues that great art can function as a secular parable that is, like the parables of Jesus, art can lead viewers to reflect on the reality and presence of God in the world. T. J. Gorringe examines representative secular paintings of the most significant types (mythological themes, genre painting, portraiture, landscape, still life, abstract art), showing how each type can point toward God, whether by envisaging an alternative future, creating aesthetic delight, or teaching us to see things differently. His provocative study challenges the notion that art since the 15th century has become increasingly secularized.
