Black ecclesial theology, or Black ecclesial interpretation, as described here, takes seriously God’s omnipotent power to deliver the oppressed from bondage, as shown in the Exodus narrative, while maintaining faith in the midst of oppression, and believing that Black suffering will not have the last word because of a collective hope in the resurrection. McCaulley highlights the deep complexities and rich historical legacies extant in the traditional Black Church that saw in the Bible a liberatory God who affirmed the inherent dignity and worth of Black people, and utilized the Scriptures as an inexhaustible resource in the fight for justice and liberation. ![]() ![]() Esau McCaulley’s Reading While Black is a detailed analysis and explication of the African American biblical interpretive enterprise as seen in its traditional ecclesial life and form. ![]()

![]() ![]() Genomeis a great starting point to discover which part of genetics you are most interested in, helping you know what you can read more about. environment debate in a simple and fascinating way. This is how I found another book by Ridley, Nature via Nurture, which I would also recommend, since it is a very similar book discussing the genes vs. Each chapter gives such an amazing introduction to each topic that every time I read a chapter I wanted to find out more about it before continuing. Ridley discusses the arguments in such an interesting way that I couldn’t help but read more about it. I had thought of DNA as making proteins for cells, but I had never thought that it would be possible for our decisions to be determined by the genetic code that we are born with. I found the chapter on free will particularly interesting. ![]() One of my favourite things about the book is that it is packed with fun facts that I can still remember now, which in turn made me even more interested in the subject. ![]() Each chapter discusses a topic in an entertaining way and somehow makes some of the hardest subjects seem simple. ![]() The book covers everything on genetics from their history to determination of sexuality, giving a summary of the huge subject of genetics. But I didn’t realise quite how complex DNA is until I read Genome by Matt Ridley. I had always found genetics interesting at school I thought it was amazing how genes could act as the instructions for life. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was later installed as the thirty-third Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II in 1997.

The problem is not that women don't write the genre, but that people don't hear about them. ![]() See this other comment I wrote in the thread. Mistaken assumption #1: Not many women write epic or secondary-world fantasy. Rather than responding to folks individually, I thought I'd tackle them here. OP, I am so glad you've found some new authors to love.īut every time a thread about female authors appears, I see the same mistaken assumptions pop up in the comments. ![]() This, THIS is why I seize every chance I can to make people aware of the many excellent yet seemingly invisible female authors in the field-because so many terrific books are out there waiting to be discovered and enjoyed by more readers. "I found a number of books that I loved, and stories that I can't wait to finish".YAY. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But when he takes on a new patient, Eric's entire world begins to crumble. His unit at the hospital has just been named number two in the country and Eric has a devoted staff of doctors and nurses who are as caring as Eric is. His work seems to be going better than his home life, however. Recently separated from his wife Alice, he is doing his best as a single Dad to his seven-year-old daughter Hannah. Eric Parrish is the Chief of the Psychiatric Unit at Havemeyer General Hospital outside of Philadelphia. "In a nail-biting stand-alone with two heart-pounding climaxes and several pulse-racing twists, Scottoline grabs her readers by the jugular and won't let go." -Library Journal (starred review)ĭr. ![]() "A mounting-stakes actioner." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Scottoline has plenty of tricks up her sleeve." -Booklist (starred review) "Bestseller Scottoline casts an unflinching eye on the damaged world of sociopaths in this exciting thriller." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) ![]() ![]() So having said that – I was afraid to get my hopes up for this, Roanhorse’s middle grade debut. I’m certain it’s a difficult balance, particularly if you’re used to writing for adults, but it’s definitely one that too many struggle with. The voices sometimes don’t sound authentic – either it feels like they’re trying too hard, or like they’re (unintentionally) talking down to their audience. However, I was also a little nervous about this book – it is not uncommon for authors who started out in adult titles to really struggle writing middle grade. ![]() I truly enjoyed the cultural aspect she brought to those titles, and was absolutely thrilled that she was getting so much recognition. I came to this particular title as a fan of Roanhorse’s Sixth World series. I’m also super pleased that, in reading Race to the Sun, it was just as good as I’d hoped it would be. As a reader, as a bookseller, as a book *lover*, it makes my heart happy that this exists, and that Riordan is using his considerable voice to help boost others without that same amount of wattage. ![]() ![]() He goes on to say, in the intro to Race to the Sun, “ No one has suffered from this more than Native and Indigenous peoples.”. ![]() As Riordan himself says, “The point of Rick Riordan Presents is to publish and promote great voices from cultures that have been too often marginalized or erased by mainstream culture.”. I also mentioned, briefly, the Rick Riordan Presents imprint. So I wrote yesterday about using my platform to share books by marginalized authors. ![]() ![]() Ultimately, though, the title of antagonist should probably go to Lucifer. ![]() He certainly acts as a bad influence on his friends and acquaintances (like his servant Wagner) and with petty villainy towards his enemies (like the knight at Charles V's court). Antagonist: As is the case with any good tragic hero, Faustus is arguably his own antagonist.His cries of regret for having sold his soul to Lucifer and his pleas for more time are unsuccessful, and devils drag him away to Hell. With tension mounting, the hour of Faustus's death and damnation draws near. Setting: Wittenberg, Germany Rome, at the pope's court the court of emperor Charles V.Scholars debate the authenticity and relative merits of these two versions of Marlowe's play that survive. ![]() Possibly around 1592, when the English translation of a German version of the story is known to have surfaced.

But oh man, the musician is fascinating, and Theo can’t get enough.Īgainst his better judgement, Caleb goes home with Theo, and their night together is fabulous. After an extended tour (that is doing a number on his voice) Theo finds himself in a dark and almost empty bar with only the bartender and a guy playing the guitar. ![]() The rest, though – the publicity, the fame, the everything else – he puts up with for the sake of the music and his group. For him, though, it’s a never-ending spiral of everything but the music, the only part he truly loves. Theo Decker, lead singer with the band Riven, is at the top of his career, with no end in sight. Well, of one current and one former rock star. ![]() The first in a new series, Riven follows the love story of rock stars. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Traitor Baru Cormorant isn’t in itself a pleasant read. In the calculus of her schemes, all ledgers must be balanced, and the price of liberation paid in full. To survive, Baru will need to untangle this land’s intricate web of treachery – and conceal her attraction to the dangerously fascinating Duchess Tain Hu.īut Baru is a savant in games of power, as ruthless in her tactics as she is fixated on her goals. Aurdwynn kills everyone who tries to rule it. In a final test of her loyalty, the Masquerade will send Baru to bring order to distant Aurdwynn, a snakepit of rebels, informants, and seditious dukes. And she’ll claw her way high enough up the rungs of power to set her people free. She’ll swallow her hate, prove her talent, and join the Masquerade. They’ll conquer Baru’s island, rewrite her culture, criminalize her customs, and dispose of one of her fathers. The Empire of Masks is coming, armed with coin and ink, doctrine and compass, soap and lies. Tomorrow, on the beach, Baru Cormorant will look up from the sand of her home and see red sails on the horizon. ![]() |
