The Wounded Angel
In this unique book, readers are taken on a journey to explore the role of the imagination in the face of mystery, whether it be the mystery of God, whose full reality lies beyond our earthly horizons, or the deepest mysteries of life hinted at in the work of fiction. By attending to a series of novels, Paul Lakeland proposes serious fiction as an antidote to the failure of the religious imagination today and shows how literature might lead the secular mind at least to the threshold of mystery.
Christian Inversion of Jewish Nationalist Monotheism, and its Modern Romantic-Narcissist Betrayal
This is a history of Western culture, divided into two parts. The first concerns the aggressive championing of monotheism by Jewish people as their distinctive national culture (although they only fell into or embraced it late in their development). Jesus offended by proposing an inversion of the divine protocols and an agenda more in harmony with international political realities: the one God proposed to use the Jews to reach (and transform) the entire human race, which was the actual object of His redemptive and creative energies. With the Renaissance widening opportunities for study, travel, learning and discovery, authorities had greater difficulty justifying limitations on individuals’ freedom of expression of heterodox artistic, political, philosophical or religious positions. This book explores the difficult modern psychological adjustment of dealing with a world with diminishing centers of authority – where it often seems as if no one is in charge – while also doing justice to one’s feelings of frustration and lack of fulfillment without becoming a radical narcissist.

Representing the "good German" in Literature and Culture After 1945
Essays analyzing postwar literary, cultural, and historical representations of "good Germans" during the Second World War and the Nazi period. In the aftermath of the Second World War, both the allied occupying powers and the nascent German authorities sought Germans whose record during the war and the Nazi period could serve as a counterpoint to the notion of Germans asevil. That search has never really stopped. In the past few years, we have witnessed a burgeoning of cultural representations of this "other" kind of Third Reich citizen - the "good German" - as opposed to the committed Nazi or genocidal maniac. Such representations have highlighted individuals' choices in favor of dissenting...

Faith in Higher Education
The higher education sector currently faces a series of challenges from internationalisation, inclusivity, financial cost and quality assurance. This book examines the church-founded model of higher education and argues that this is a promising approach for establishing greater levels of provision in the future, especially in developing countries. This book contains three case studies undertaken at church-founded universities in the UK, Kenya, and Nigeria, founded by church organisations but operating without denominational bias. These reveal that this model emphasises the wellbeing of their students over the pursuit of profit, and the delivery of relevant courses over easily marketed but unapplicable subjects. These studies culminate in a set of recommendations for good practice which will be of use to church leaders, policy makers and anyone concerned with widening participation in higher education. Ultimately, this book encourages co-operation between churches and governments when establishing future institutions of higher education, for the benefit of all.
