Lady V., and Other Stories
Fiction. Translated from the Romanian by Simina Calin, Calin-Andrei Mihailescu, Ramona Uricescu, and Liana Lupas. Popa's Lady V. is still a virgin after four marriages, yet one can't say if this entitles her to travel from the actual world of the Frick Museum into Whistler's paintings exhibited therein. With a touch of Hawthorne and a bow to Henry James, "Lady V." invites the reader to step into the story and see from the inside its contours. From this refined decadence the world goes on psyche's sly fantastic slopes in a "Choice" reminiscent of Salem 1692, to then return, with the delirious humor of "Panic Syndrome!," to Manhattan, the psychoanalysts' neighborhood. At the end of all these turns the reader gets it: nobody invented anxiety, but in the Great Belly of the City, full of butterflies, the legion of pros is there to shrink it.

Creating Life in the Lab
Each year brings to light new scientific discoveries that have the power to either test our faith or strengthen it--most recently the news that scientists have created artificial life forms in the laboratory. If humans can create life, what does that mean for the creation story found in Scripture? Biochemist and Christian apologist Fazale Rana, for one, isn't worried. In Creating Life in the Lab, he details the fascinating quest for synthetic life and argues convincingly that when scientists succeed in creating life in the lab, they will unwittingly undermine the evolutionary explanation for the origin of life, demonstrating instead that undirected chemical processes cannot produce a living entity.
Christianization in Early Medieval Transylvania
Little is known about the Christianization of east-central and eastern Europe, due to the fragmentary nature of the historical record. Yet occasionally, unexpected archaeological discoveries can offer fresh angles and new insights. This volume presents such an example: the discovery of a Byzantine-like church in Alba Iulia, Transylvania, dating from the 10th century - a unique find in terms of both age and function. Next to its ruins, another church was built at the end of the 11th century, following a Roman Catholic architectural model, soon to become the seat of the Latin bishopric of Transylvania. Who built the older, Byzantine-style church, and what was the political, religious and cultu...
