“Newman and his Family is a psychological and spiritual voyage around the great Cardinal in the often fraught context of his familial relationships, which will be fascinating equally to Catholics, other faiths and unbelievers. Newman himself said that there was nothing more interesting than the ten thousand little details and complications of daily life and family history. With the wisdom of empathy, Edward Short’s gift is to let us hear Newman speak in his own voice, so distant from our own times and yet still so immediate. In this meticulously researched and lovingly written book, Newman has found his ideal biographer.” Angela Thirlwell, Author of William and Lucy: the other Rossettis and Into the Frame: the four loves of Ford Madox Brown Newman and his Family looks at the profound influence of John Henry Newman’s parents and siblings on his deeply personal Christian faith. EDWARD SHORT is the author of Newman and his Contemporaries. He lives with his wife and daughter in New York, USA.

• Written by two of the most important thinkers of the Reformation Comprising Erasmus’s The Free Will and Luther’s The Bondage of the Will, Discourse on Free Will is a landmark text in the history of Protestantism. Encapsulating the perspective on free will of two of the most important figures in the history of Christianity, it remains to this day a powerful, thought-provoking and timely work. DESIDERIUS ERAMSUS (1466/9-1536) was the most renowned scholar of his age, a celebrated humanist and Classicist, and the first teacher of Greek at Cambridge, UK. MARTIN LUTHER (1483-1546) was the founder of the German Reformation. His 95 Theses became a manifesto for reform of the Catholic Church and led to his being tried for heresy. He remained in Germany, Professor of Biblical Exegesis at the University of Wittenburg, until his death.

For over one hundred years International Critical Commentaries have had a special place among works on the Bible. They bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis – linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological – to help the reader understand the meaning of the books of the Old and New Testaments. The new commentaries continue this tradition. All new evidence now available is incorporated and new methods of study are applied. In this volume Goldingay, a noted specialist on Deutero and Trito Isaiah, completes his work of commentary on the latter part of Isaiah, writing specifically on Isaiah 56-66, the so-called ‘trito-Isaiah’, following his widely acclaimed volumes (with David Payne) of the International Critical Commentary on Isaiah 40-55. JOHN GOLDINGAY is David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California, USA, and formerly Principal of St John’s Theological College, Nottingham, UK.
