|  | Cosmic Conflicts: Freedon isn't free, The only chance, The blood and the covenant, The ultimate assignment
Publication Date: June 23, 2011Cosmic Conflict is a series of four plays that examine the complex union between the physical and the spiritual world. It gives a face to the metaphysical conflicts that people face every day. This is spiritual warfare in the most literal sense of the word, and Cosmic Conflict offers the Holy Bible as the answer. We often speak of evil spirits or Satan, but it is hard to get a clear picture of what those apparitions look like, many images that have been fed to us through out our lives. For example, the devil is red with horns and a tail, and demons are monstrou...
|  | Con un pez en la boca (Spanish Edition)
Publication Date: January 10, 2011La poesía de Agnes Fong se caracteriza por un vigoroso laconismo, y por una fuerza expresiva que proviene de la experiencia y de una alta capacidad de síntesis. Sus asociaciones funcionan como enunciados dramáticos, son fragmentos salvados de algún drama que se escamotea sabiamente. Las palabras que quedan ante nosotros conmueven por la alta temperatura en que asoman pudorosas ante la página, en la delicada brutalidad de lo auténtico, de lo que nos va sucediendo mientras vivimos intensamente. Con este cuaderno Agnes Fong se inco...
|  | The Absence of Grace: Sprezzatura and Suspicion in Two Renaissance Courtesy Books
Publication Date: October 1, 2000The Absence of Grace is a study of male fantasy, representation anxiety, and narratorial authority in two sixteenth-century books, Baldassare Castiglione's Il libro del Cortegiano (1528) and Giovanni Della Casa's Galateo (1558).

The book focuses on the way the Courtier and Galateo cope with and represent the interaction between changes of e...
|  | Green Man Hopkins: Poetry and the Victorian Ecological Imagination. (Nature, Culture & Literature)
Publication Date: August 30, 2010| Series: Nature, Culture & Literature This book, the first to consider Gerard Manley Hopkins as an ecological writer, explores the dimension that social ecology offers to an ecocriticism hitherto dominated by romantic nature writing. The case for a 'green Hopkins' is made through a paradigm of 'Victorian Ecology' that expands the scope of existing studies in Victorian literature and science. Parham argues that Hopkins developed a two-fold understanding of ecology - as a scientific philosophy constructed around ecosystems theory; and as a corresponding theory...

|  | Christian Funerals
Publication Date: December 2010Unlike weddings, funerals rarely take place after extensive planning. Often the deceased is not someone the pastor has known well, and preparations for the service of death and resurrection take place in the midst of pastoral care of the grieving, writing the funeral sermon, and the pastor’s regular duties. These circumstances make it especially hard to plan an appropriate and meaningful order of worship for the funeral service. Christian Funerals will help pastors as they attend to this crucial ministry of the church. Drawing on the books of worship fro...
