The Orthodox Church understands the Holy Scriptures to be the fountainhead of Tradition. The stories read in the Bible are commonly explored and elaborated in greater depth in liturgical hymns, homilies, and patristic writings. Such is the case with the account found in St Luke’s gospel of a sinful woman who anoints Christ with precious oil shortly before his Passion and Crucifixion. The woman’s story is taken up in the liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church in Holy Week, where she is held up as an example of repentance and unconstrained love. In this in-depth but readable study the biblical accounts are elaborated through both the liturgical and oratorical tradition of the Church, as found primarily in Greek and Syriac manuscripts, with particular attention given to the former texts, too often overshadowed by the latter. Previously inaccessible texts of late antiquity, such as homilies by Amphilochius of Iconium and Ephrem Graecus, are found here in English for the first time, together with fresh English renderings of other sermons. This sharply honed and well-constructed work will engage all who encounter the story of the sinful woman in the living tradition of worship in the Orthodox Church, as well as those who ...

We are surrounded by lies. They are incorporated into the worldview of our culture. We daily absorb them, and these lies can have deadly effects on individuals, societies and whole civilisations.  Sharon James investigates the origins of some of these lies and looks at how we have got to the point where ‘my truth’ is as valid as ‘your truth’, and absolute truth is an outdated way of thinking. In examining the evidence of history, she highlights the consequences of applying dangerous untruths. She also looks at how Christians often respond to the culture’s lies –in silence, acquiescence or celebration of them – and why these responses can be as harmful as the lies themselves.  In the second part she turns to the truth which leads to real liberation and justice. She shows why we don’t need to be ashamed of Christ, or intimidated by the claims of those who are militantly opposed to the Bible.  This book aims to equip Christians to navigate the minefield of current claims. To understand our inherent human significance, to know genuine freedom, and to work for real justice, we need to know the truth.  Chapter headings include:Part One: The ...

This book is a timely and unapologetic expose that dismantles the carbon credits system – a $2-trillion climate (so-called) “solution” that has exploited under-developed communities for decades. More than a critique, the book is a bold call for global accountability and a reimagined approach to solving climate change.  Carbon credits are a market-based way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by funding projects that remove or avoid emissions from the atmosphere. Based on personal encounters and extensive work across Africa, the author presents the raw truth about what happens when climate policies are manipulated to serve the elite while leaving the most vulnerable to bear the cost. Jaye Connolly demonstrates why the current carbon credits system is failing and, if left unchecked, enables fraud and greenwashing on a huge scale. She goes on to offer real-world solutions for how we can reform this broken system, ensuring that those who are protecting the planet benefit from the climate economy.

The 1916 Rising is one of the most documented and analysed episodes in Ireland’s turbulent history. Often overlooked, however, is its immediate aftermath. This significant window in the narrative of Irish revolutionary history, which saw the rebirth of the Volunteers and laid the foundations for the War of Independence, is usually covered as a footnote, or from the biographical standpoints of the leaders.Picking up where the authors’ acclaimed account of the Rising, When the Clock Struck in 1916, left off, we join the men and women of the Rising in the dark abyss of defeat. The leaders’ poignant final hours and violent ends are laid bare, but the perspective of those with the unpalatable task of carrying out the executions is also revealed, rectifying a historic disservice to those who reluctantly formed the firing squads. While the prisoners in Dublin awaited their grisly fates, others were deported in stinking cattle boats to camps in England and Wales.When they returned, it was to a jubilant welcome in a radically changed country.

Soon to be an HBO series, book three in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, "one of the great novelists of our time." (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times) In the third book in the Neapolitan quartet, Elena and Lila, the two girls whom readers first met in My Brilliant Friend, have become women. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, ignorance and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to each other by a strong, unbreakable bond. Ferrante is one of the world's great storytellers. With the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''If it has been done, you can do it. But if it hasn''t been done, you should.'' It was these words from Victoria Alonso''s mother that imbued in her the power of possibility. First as a young person in Argentina living through a dictatorship, then as a nineteen-year-old alone in America, saying yes to possibility again and again laid the path for Victoria to become who she is today: one of the most powerful Latinas in Hollywood and a top executive at Marvel Studios - the biggest and most successful studio in the world. Having spent the last fifteen-plus years bringing relatable superheroes to screen, often being the lone woman in the rooms where big decisions are made, Victoria has a simple secret to share: ''You don''t need a cape, you don''t need a hammer, you don''t need a shield. Your superpower is your voice, and your voice will create change for yourself, for society, and for those who you love.'' In Possibility Is Your Superpower, Victoria takes you on a deep dive into her years climbing the Hollywood ladder - its hurdles, highlights, and meaningful lessons-in hopes that her path will inspire you to find your own voice, to ...

And in doing so, he shows the common threads that unite them, whether it is attitudes to class, nation, identity, belonging, immigration, or religion.He also examines the so-called Brexit murder in Harlow, the haunting repatriation of the fallen in the Iraq and Afghan wars ...

''Maybe the polluters will purify our streams. Purify our waterways? In your bloomin'' dreams! All will be rewilded, all will be renewed, The country will look lovely, But we won''t have any food. Our stocks will be sustainable, The French will be our friends, We shall live in harmony, until the bitter end.''Hidden beyond the bluebell woods and babbling brooks, there is great unrest in our countryside. In this lyrical satire, Pam Ayres highlights the undercurrents simmering beyond the patchwork of fields. We meet the angry fishermen who can''t afford to live in their own villages, the indignant farmers who get the blame for everything and the old man grieving for the unspoilt village of his youth. The animals have their say too, from the persecuted grey squirrel who didn''t want to leave America anyway, the barn owl mourning his now-converted ancient barn, and the humble maligned mole, all of whom come together and demand to know: Who Are You Calling Vermin?
