A Divided Church
A Divided Church is an account of the division that took place in the Free Church of Scotland, a conservative evangelical and reformed church, in the year 2000.

George Smeaton
George Smeaton lived through a period of turbulence in theological and biblical studies. There is no doubt that Smeaton was a man of irenical and gracious spirit. In assessing his life in the Church it is inevitable that his attitudes to the controversial issues will come to the forefront It is not known what became of Smeatons papers or books, though apparently most of his considerable library was donated to the New College Library, Edinburgh. This book is a sketch of the life of one of the foremost Reformed theologians and divines of Victorian Scotland. George Smeaton was a man of God, a faithful minister of the gospel, and an accomplished New Testament scholar. It is fitting that his major works should have been rediscovered by lovers of the truth in recent years. He has rested from his labours, but his works follow him.

For the Glory
‘Eric Liddell deserves a definitive biography. This is it.’ Sunday Times, Books of the Year Faster. Higher. Stronger. No one has embodied the ideals of the Olympic movement quite like Eric Liddell, star of the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. After refusing to compete on religious principle in the event in which he was favourite, the 100 metres, at the 1924 Games in Paris, Liddell won an astonishing gold medal in the 400 metres. But instead of pursuing a path of global fame and fortune, he chose to follow his calling as a missionary in the country of his birth, China, a land which then fell under the iron grip of a brutal Japanese army. Liddell became the inspirational leader of the work camp in which he, like many thousands, was interned, and For the Glory is the full story of his life, of his family, of his fellow prisoners and the terrible hardships and atrocities they experienced in the Far East. This is the tale of a sporting icon, a man of honour and principle who paid the ultimate sacrifice while becoming the moral centre of an otherwise unbearable world.
Orientalism
‘A stimulating, elegant yet pugnacious essay’—Observer In this highly acclaimed seminal work, Edward Said surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering Orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation—a way for writers, philosophers and colonial administrators to deal with the ‘otherness’ of Eastern culture, customs and beliefs. He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West’s romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. In the Afterword, Said examines the effect of continuing Western imperialism.
