Seeking God
Seeking God is a journal of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It traces the highlights of the life of Jesus Christ from His birth in Bethlehem, His ministry in Galilee, and through to His Resurrection and Ascension in Jerusalem. It is also a book about the spiritual messages of Our Lord, set in the landscape in which He gave them, providing the reader with a deeper dimension to the Gospel stories, which come alive. It is also the history of the shrines and their link to the biblical, cultural, historical, and political aspects of the Holy Land from the time of Jesus to the Byzantines, and from the Crusades to our time. In the parable of the sower and the seeds, the seed that fell on rich soil grew a hundredfold. Has the seed of the Word of the Lord fallen on the rich soil of your soul? If so, then perhaps this book will spark a desire in your heart to visit the Holy Land, following in the footsteps of Our Lord.
Memory, Mobility, and Material Culture
With a focus on the object and where it is situated, in time (memory) and space (mobility), Memory, Mobility, and Material Culture embodies a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach. The chapters track the movement of the objects and their owner(s), within and between continents, countries, cities, and families. Objects have always been considered with an eye to their worth – economic, aesthetic, and/or functional. If that worth is diminished, their meaning and value disappear, they are just things. Yet things can still fulfil functions in our daily lives; they hold symbolic potential, from personal memory triggers, to focal points of public ritual and religion; from collectorsâ€...
The Death of Consensus
Over Britain’s first century of mass democracy, politics has lurched from crisis to crisis. How does this history of political agony illuminate our current age of upheaval? To find out, journalist Phil Tinline takes us back to two past eras when the ruling consensus broke down, and the future filled with ominous possibilities – until, finally, a new settlement was born. How did the Great Depression’s spectres of fascism, bombing and mass unemployment force politicians to think the unthinkable, and pave the way to post-war Britain? How was Thatcher’s road to victory made possible by a decade of nightmares: of hyperinflation, military coups and communist dictatorship? And why, since the Crash in 2008, have new political threats and divisions forced us to change course once again? Tinline brings to life those times, past and present, when the great compromise holding democracy together has come apart; when the political class has been forced to make a choice of nightmares. This lively, original account of panic and chaos reveals how apparent catastrophes can clear the path to a new era. The Death of Consensus will make you see British democracy differently.
