Sodomy
The biblical narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah has served as an archetypal story of divine antipathy towards same sex love and desire. 'Sodomy' offers a study of the reception of this story in Christian and Jewish traditions from antiquity to the Reformation. The book argues that the homophobic interpretation of Sodom and Gomorrah is a Christian invention which emerged in the first few centuries of the Christian era. The Jewish tradition - in which Sodom and Gomorrah are associated primarily with inhospitality, xenophobia and abuse of the poor - presents a very different picture. The book will be of interest to students and scholars seeking a fresh perspective on biblical approaches to sexuality.
The One Who Reads May Run
The essays in this volume focus on various dimensions of what it means to read the Bible, which was the abiding concern of Conrad's work.
A Lake District Grand Tour
Mike Carden visits all the lakes of Lakeland, pokes into its most distant corners, and cycles over every mountain pass (well, he attempts to). Along the way, he tells the story of Lakeland. He sees where poets wrote and climbers climbed, he tells of of 'oond trailin'' and fell-racing, and he hunts for golden eagles and elusive ring ouzels.
On a Teleconference No One Knows You're a Dog.
45 Marketing Hacks for Startups. An established company has brand, reach, processes, resources. Most times a startup has none of these things, so the rules of marketing used in established business just don't apply. Throw them out! A startup is a small band of people figuring it out, one victory and one fuck up at a time. You can use the power of that basic fact to get your market on your side in a way the big brands can never do.

Vision from a Distance
The probing mind of Carden Michael has given us engaging poetry, prose and essays. The title of the book, "Vision from a Distance" is haunting and mysterious. I feel both pride and pleasure writing this foreword. The pride emanates from the memory of seeing Carden's determination to get his message out. The pleasure derives from my admiration for the unrelenting and informed gift that resonates within the depths of Carden Michael.Certainly, the author is divinely inspired through the scripted word: a vehicle that transports the drumbeat and sweat of one who knows struggle. Carden's continuing interest must be sustained by the God who inspires him to shine through his written word. He takes us through puzzling moods and cryptic insights that have such vividness that they seem to be an embodiment, a personal reserve of something greater than us all. He examines a wide range of topics ranging from religion to liberty but does not negate contemporary issues.
Love Lost in Translation
Love Lost in Translation systematically examines the biblical stories and passages that are generally assumed to deal with, or comment on, homoerotic relationships: Noah and Ham, Sodom and Gomorrah, Leviticus 18:22, Deuteronomy 23:17-18, Judges 19, Romans 1:26-27, and 1 Corinthians 6:9. K. Renato Lings convincingly demonstrates that mistranslations of these texts into Greek, Latin and other languages occurred early, and that serious errors continue to be committed by translators today. This explains the painful controversy about same-sex relationships, which has rocked Christian churches for decades.
