Philosophy, God and Motion
In the post-Newtonian world motion is assumed to be a simple category which relates to the locomotion of bodies in space, and is usually associated only with physics. This book shows this to be a relatively recent understanding of motion and that prior to the scientific revolution motion was a broader and more mysterious category, applying to moral as well as physical movements. Simon Oliver presents fresh interpretations of key figures in the history of western thought including Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas and Newton, examining the thinkers’ handling of the concept of motion. Through close readings of seminal texts in ancient and medieval cosmology and early modern natural philosophy, the b...
Creation: A Guide for the Perplexed
Judaism, Christianity and Islam claim that the universe is not a brute fact. It is 'created'. But what do we mean by 'creation'? Do we mean that the universe is 'designed'? Is it the product of an evolutionary process? How are creatures related to God, and does God act within creation? Simon Oliver begins with the background to the Christian doctrine of creation in Greek philosophy and the Old Testament. This provides a route into understanding the claim that we are part of a created order that is also the theatre of God's redemptive action in Christ. He examines different understanding of creation, with close reference to the work of patristic and medieval theologians such as Augustine and ...
Radical Orthodoxy
Simon Oliver explores the origins and context of Radical Orthodoxy. He explains the arguments of the key thinkers with whom Radical Orthodoxy engages, and examines the contributions made to the field by leading theologians, as well as Radical Orthodoxy’s understanding of the nature of the theological challenge in our own time. Topics include: God and truth, faith and reason language and praise desire and the human person Christ and reconciliation politics and theology culture and the Church. An essential text across denominations and academic disciplines, this is a far reaching and stimulating discussion on the impact and implications of this exciting area of contemporary theology.
Design
The finest books produced prior to the outbreak of the Great War were almost invariably printed by the private presses, but in the post-war years the accolade of excellence passed into the hands of firms such as Curwen Press. This book profiles the work of one of the printing industry's great pioneers
Last Gang in Town Vol. 1
THE GREATEST ROCK ’N’ ROLL SWINDLE! It’s 1977, and crime on the once-swinging streets of London is as soft and flabby as an overfed corgi. Nearly a decade has gone by since the brothers Kray were locked away, and it’s high time for the torch to be passed-preferably straight through a bank window. Luckily, a new generation of snot-nosed Robin Hoods filled with attitude, alcohol and anarchy are ready to burst onto the scene. Now, as Great Britain prepares to celebrate its glorious monarch’s Silver Jubilee, a rising gangland queen and her punk-rock robbers are about to pull off the heist of the century-and breaking into Buckingham Palace is only the start! Acclaimed creators Simon Oliver (FBP: FEDERAL BUREAU OF PHYSICS) and Rufus Dayglo (TANK GIRL) proudly present the punk-noir crime saga LAST GANG IN TOWN-a brash, bold, and bloody brilliant take on the English underworld!

The Hellblazer Vol. 2: The Smokeless Fire
The City of Light is a world away from John ConstantineÕs regular stomping grounds in the Old Smoke, but the two erstwhile imperial capitals have more in common than you might think. TheyÕre both among the oldest and grimiest burgs in Europe; theyÕre both centers of political and economic power; and now, following the arrival of the infamous street-level sorcerer known as the Hellblazer, theyÕre both potentially ground zero for the kind of magical Armageddon not seen since the days of King Solomon. All across the ële-de-France, from the winding streets of her charming arrondissements to the crime-plagued towers of her gritty banlieues, Constantine leads his allies and enemies alike on a...
