Shakespeare and Religion Author: Alison Shell ISBN: 978-1472568175 Published: 15/01/2015 Format: paperback Pages: 312 pages RRP: 37.99 This book sets Shakespeare in the religious context of his times, presenting a balanced, up-to-date account of current biographical and critical debates, and addressing the fascinating, understudied topic of how Shakespeare's writing was perceived by literary contemporaries - both Catholic and Protestant - whose priorities were more obviously religious than his own. It advances new readings of several plays, especially Hamlet, King Lear and The Winter's Tale; these draw in many cases on new and under-exploited contemporary analogues, ranging from conversion narratives, books of devotion and polemical pamphlets to manuscript drama and emblems. Shakespeare's writing has been seen both as profoundly religious, giving everyday human life a sacramental quality, and as profoundly secular, foreshadowing the kind of humanism that sees no necessity for God. This study attempts to reconcile these two points of view, describing a writer whose language is saturated in religious discourse and whose dramaturgy is highly attentive to religious precedent, but whose invariable practice is to subordinate religious matter to the particular aesthetic demands of the work in hand. For Shakespeare, as for few of his contemporaries, the JudaeoChristian story is something less than a master narrative.

Magna Carta Author: Carpenter David (trans) ISBN: 978-0241953372 Published: 25/02/2015 Format: paperback Pages: 624 pages RRP: 19.99 No free man is to be arrested, or imprisoned, or disseised, or outlawed or exiled, or in any way destroyed, nor will we go against him, nor will we send against him, save by the lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land' Magna Carta, forced on King John in 1215 by rebellion, is one of the most famous documents in world history. It asserts a fundamental principle: that the ruler is subject to the law. David Carpenter's commentary draws on new discoveries to give an entirely fresh account of Magna Carta's text, origins, survival and enforcement, showing how it quickly gained a central place in English political life. It also uses Magna Carta as a lens through which to view thirteenth-century society, focusing on women and peasants as well as barons and knights. The book is a landmark in Magna Carta studies.

Two Nations: Britain in 1846 Author: Stephen Bates ISBN: 978-1781853542 Published: 17/02/2015 Format: paperback Pages: 384 pages RRP: 27.99 A fascinating, in-the-round portrait of Britain in 1846, a nation on the brink of economic and social change as the Industrial Revolution deepened its
impact. 1846 was a pivotal year in British history: falling between the old, preindustrial Britain with its rigid social hierarchy, and a new era of economic and social change. This was the year in which Parliament repealed the Corn Laws, chipping away at the power of landowners and ushering in an age of free trade that formed the basis of the country's future wealth and industrial prosperity, and whose effects are still felt today. It was also a tense time, in which the downsides of the Industrial Revolution began to be felt: child labour and slum housing would provide a seedbed for the revolutionary fervour that exploded soon after.
Between the Dances: World War II women tell their stories Author: Jacqueline Dinan ISBN: 978-1925183030 Published: 01/03/2015 Format: paperback Pages: 336 Pages RRP: 32.95 The start of World War 2 changed women’s lives and their place in Australian society forever. Thousands of women ventured where few had gone before into the services and workplaces previously considered the sole preserve of men. Revealing poignant and personal conversations, photographs and letters, Between the Dances is a testament to real life during World War 2. From Malta to Australia, New Zealand to the UK, the challenges and adventures faced by these women were unprecedented. Their passion, courage, resilience and commitment during wartime were all a precursor to the astonishing changes brought about by this incredible generation. For the first time, women were doing their bit as nurses in war zones, members of the services, farmhands, factory workers or volunteers in community service. The last tradition left was the weekly dance, which ceremoniously brought these courageous women and men together for a quickstep, fox trot and brief respite from the rigours of wartime.

Perhaps that electric hair brush really could help to cure baldness, and wouldn’t it be wonderful if those strange new cannabis cigarettes did relieve asthma?

Emporium explores the highways and byways of this neglected aspect of nineteenth-century life in a book that takes readers on a fascinating journey into the hearts and homes of colonial Australians. Advertisements for condoms? It was just a matter of knowing what to look for. Humorous quirky fascinating you will find this book compulsive!

Bass Strait. Their struggle against almost insurmountable odds is one worthy of respect and admiration, not to mention serious attention. This broad-ranging book is a comprehensive and critical account of that epic survival up to the present day. Starting from antiquity, the book examines the devastating arrival of Europeans and subsequent colonisation, warfare and exile. It emphasises the regionalism and separateness, a consistent feature of Aboriginal life since time immemorial that has led to the distinct identities we see in the present, including the unique place of the islanders of Bass Strait. Carefully researched, using the findings of archaeologists and extensive documentary evidence, some only recently uncovered, this important book fills a long-time gap in Tasmanian history.
Everything you need to know about the referendum to recognise indigenous australians Author: Megan Davis & George Williams ISBN: 978-1742234168 Published: 02/02/2015 Format: paperback Pages: 224 pages RRP: 19.99 This book explains everything that Australians need to know about the proposal to recognise Aboriginal peoples in the Constitution. It details how our Constitution was drafted, and shows how Aboriginal peoples came to be excluded from the new political settlement. It explains what the 1967 referendum in which over 90% of Australians voted to delete discriminatory references to Aboriginal people from the Constitution - achieved and why discriminatory racial references remain. With clarity and authority the book shows the symbolic and legal power of such a change and how we might get there. Concise and clear, it is written by two of the best-known experts in the country on matters legal, indigenous and constitutional.
Australian's understand their identity, history, culture, creativity and diversity.

Eyre: The Forgotten Explorer Author: Ivan Rudolph ISBN: 978-0732299316 Published: 04/02/2014 Format: paperback Pages: 416 pages RRP: 29.99 Lake Eyre, the Eyre Peninsula, the Eyre Highway that traverses the Nullarbor between Adelaide to Perth and many other landmarks are named after explorer Edward John Eyre. So why do Australians know so little about this explorer today? Edward John Eyre was one of the most intrepid explorers to tackle the unforgiving Australian outback - and one of the youngest. Lake Eyre, the Eyre Highway between Adelaide and Perth, and many other landmarks are named after him, yet so little is known of his time here. Author Ivan Rudolph shows how this idealistic young Englishman - still in his teens when he arrived in New South Wales in 1833 - transformed himself into a rugged frontiersman, one of the first to overland cattle to Melbourne and Adelaide. But it's Eyre's attempt on the Nullarbor that was the peak of his Australian career. Determined to find an overland route to Perth, he left Adelaide with a small party on 18 June 1840. Ivan Rudolph relates their journey step by step - and it makes for gripping reading. Beset by the harsh terrain, scarcity of water, the danger from hostile Indigenous people and dissent - and worse - among Eyre's companions, could Eyre achieve his ambition and find a way across the Nullarbor? A fascinating portrait of a forgotten hero of Australian history.

But his mother never let him quit. She encouraged Ben to do better and reach higher for his dreams, and eventually he discovered a deep love of learning. Today this young boy from the inner-city is one of the world's greatest pediatric neurosurgeons. Through determination and lot of hard work, Ben overcame his many obstacles and is now dedicated to saving the lives of critically ill children around the world.
Catholic priests don't generally have children but Australian legend Father Chris Riley has brought up about 60,000 - and they're some of the toughest kids around. He regularly encounters some of the most troubled children on earth kids who have given up or refuse to talk to others, who steal, take drugs, see themselves as irredeemable failures, hate everyone and everything, selfharm, have been abused or abuse other kids, prostitute themselves, live on the streets or have rejected anyone who's ever tried to help them. But he's nearly always managed to find a way through to them, and to help them. And whilst the vast majority of Australian kids don't have the magnitude of problems he sees in his work every day, the lessons he's learnt from them are invaluable.
The world is a very religious place. Wherever you look, people are worshipping, praying, believing, following, even dying for their faith. But are all faiths the same? Do they all call on the same God using different names? Are their beliefs and practices simply cultural expressions of the same spiritual longings? Written in John Dickson's characteristically nontechnical and readable style, this book presents each of the world's major religions in its best light, carefully outlining the history, belief systems and spiritual practices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam so that the interested 'spectator' can explore their similarities and differences. For believers, sceptics and students alike, A Spectator's Guide to World Religions provides a fair and friendly introduction to this ultimate subject. Christian Book of the Year 2005, now in its 3rd edition.

Marvellous Melbourne and Spiritual Power: A Christian Revival & its Lasting Legacy Author: Will Renshaw ISBN: 978-0992447663 Published: 01/12/2014 Format: paperback Pages: 256 pages RRP: 24.99 Marvellous Melbourne and Spiritual Power is a unique record of the rich Christian spiritual heritage of Melbourne. The foundations for this heritage were laid within the city's first months of European settlement, when Henry Reed preached the gospel at Port Phillip in 1835. In the decades that followed, many gathered regularly to pray for evangelistic and missionary activity, and for a revival of faith in the young nation. One significant outcome was the growth of a flourishing evangelical movement in Victoria with its distinctive Keswick-style convention ministry, which originated in England and proclaimed abundant life and full salvation. This is a story of how God equips ordinary people to become extraordinary leaders in his service. It is a powerful testimony to the importance of persevering prayer and intercession in the deep reviving work of God in his church and the wider community.
Does God have a sense of humour? Can Christianity make sense of our 21stcentury world? What does it mean to be happy? Is it possible to survive in the jungle of oďŹƒce politics, or in the warzone that is social media? In this provocative and stimulating collection of pieces from Eternity magazine, Michael Jensen presents an authentically Christian take on the way we live, work and think. With insight, humanity, and a humorous touch, Jensen takes us on a tour of the contemporary soulscape, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the music of Cold Chisel. He even argues that the atheists are right. Pieces of Eternity will surprise, delight & engage.
Talking About Ethics Author: Justin Denholm ISBN: 978-0987132918 Published: 01/11/2011 Format: paperback Pages: 72 pages RRP: 17.99 Talking about Ethics springs from a passion to see Christians engaging in ethical conversations in a thoughtful and winsome way. Ethical conversations are more than simply interesting diversions or a way to arrive at the right answer. They are tools for discipleship, training and evangelism, and can add extra dimensions to how we study the Bible and meet together. This book is divided into two parts. The first section provides a general overview of approaches to ethics. In order to be able to have good discussions about ethics, we need to start by understanding our own and other people's ethical ideas. The second section turns to ways of using ethics as a tool in Christian life. This includes some very practical ideas about using these ethical skills in ways that enrich and challenge in a variety of settings.

He has touched the world with his gentle wisdom, preaching a message of openness, love, and mercy.
Whatever Happened to the Twelve Apostles? Author: Elva Schroeder ISBN: 978-1921633171 Published: 11/10/2010 Format: paperback Pages: 174 pages RRP: 19.95 Have you ever wondered what the TWELVE APOSTLES did once the excitement of the Day of Pentecost died down? In the early chapters of Acts it seems as if Peter and John were the only ones doing anything much for the Lord. Yet in the book of Revelation John saw the names of all twelve apostles on the foundations of the New Jerusalem. And Jesus had promised that in His future kingdom the apostles would sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Surely these men must have done something outstanding to warrant such great honours. From early church writings we are able to form a reasonably accurate picture of where each apostle went to preach this new gospel that Jesus had entrusted to them. Their devotion was such that, with the exception of John, it seems each died a martyr for the faith he had so boldly proclaimed.

The untold story of the great explorer, David Livingstone-his faith and his heroic efforts to end the African slave trade.Saint Missionary Scientist ExplorerThe titles applied to David Livingstone since his death are eclectic enough to seem dubious, and with good reason. In view of his own journals, saint is out of the question; even missionary is problematic when one considers his conversion record. But despite his fame as a scientist and explorer, titles he certainly earned, these were not the fields through which Livingstone left his most indelible mark on Africa. Above all, David Livingstone was a vociferous abolitionist. Yet few think of Livingstone as one of the most influential antislavery proponents of the nineteenth century. Somehow, his impact on abolishing what he called this awful slave-trade continues to be overlooked

as the centerpiece of his African mission.Until now.The Daring Heart of David Livingstone is Livingstone's story told in full, from the beginning of his time in Africa to the legislation that saved millions after his death. By the time he died in the heart of Africa, Livingstone had lost his family, his career, and his fortune. Popular myth says he sacrificed all this simply to find the source of the Nile-but that falls far short of the truth. Livingstone's Christian legacy was his quest to end slavery.His contribution to abolition, and particularly the Christian faith that fueled his efforts, have been overlooked in the public record for too long. This is David Livingstone's untold story.
Wanted: A Spiritual Pursuit Through Jail, Among Outlaws, and Across Borders
portal to a mysterious world on the margins of society, where a growing network of Mexican gang members soon dub him their pastor.As he comes to terms with this uncomfortable title-and embraces the role of a shepherd of black sheep-his adventures truly begin. Hoke shares comic, heartbreaking and sublime tales of sacred moments in unlikely situations: singing with an attempted-suicide in the jail’s isolation cell, dodging immigration and airport security with migrant farm workers, and fly-fishing with tattooed gangsters. Set against the misty Washington landscape, this unconventional congregation at times mirrors the Skagit Valley’s fleeting migratory swans and unseen salmon. But Hoke takes us with him into riskier terrain as he gains and loses friends to the prison system, and even faces his own despair-as well as belovedness-on the back of a motorcycle racing through Guatemalan slums. In these stories of mystical portraiture, like the old WANTED posters of outlaws, Hoke bears witness to an elusive Presence that is still alive and defiant of official custody. Such portraits offer a new vision of the forgotten souls who have been cast into society’s dumpsters, helping us see beneath even the hardest criminal a fragile desire to be wanted.
