A Templar master and a secret to be guarded. A Pope dominated by a king. These are the characters that compose the history of this novel. The story is set in France on 1300, when a Pope is elected on willing of the king. The facts will be outlined as they will go by, showing the intrigue plotted by the sovereign towards the Templar order of chivalry. By the help of his advisers, men without scruples, he will build every moment of the persecution. All seems dictated by the avidity and by the cupidity of King Philip, but this is not enough to justify the fury of this last one. Other determined strengths participate in this bloodthirsty game without revealing themselves, following darker intentions; they look for the attainment of their purpose with every means. Intrigues, wars, tortures and a love story are mixed making the novel a fascinating story of faith, courage and honour.

Interior Freedom leads one to discover that even in the most unfavorable outward circumstances we possess within ourselves a space of freedom that nobody can take away, because God is its source and guarantee. Without this discovery we will always be restricted in some way and will never taste true happiness. Author Jacques Philippe develops a simple but important theme: we gain possession of our interior freedom in exact proportion to our growth in faith, hope, and love. He explains that the dynamism between these three theological virtues is the heart of the spiritual life, and he underlines the key role of the virtue of hope in our inner growth. Written in a simple and inviting style, Interior Freedom seeks to liberate the heart and mind to live the true freedom to which God calls each one.
An enduring debate among scholars has focused on the degree to which Shakespeare's plays are indebted to the Christian culture in which they were created and the manner of demonstrating that indebtedness. R. Chris Hassel, Jr. points out informed allusions to familiar Pauline and Erasmian Christian passages and themes present in Love's Labor's Lost, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado about Nothing, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, and The Merchant of Venice. He argues that not only did Shakespeare's audience understand these allusions but also that these allusions led the audience to recognize their pertinence to the playwright's uniquely Christian comic vision. Furthermore, Hassel feels this understanding of the relationship between Shakespeare's comic artistry and Christianity leads to a greater appreciation of the plays.
