Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red (The Rabbi Small Mysteries #5)
by Harry KemelmanRabbi Small encounters militant activists, anarchists, and a mad bomber on a college campus in this New York Times bestseller Once again, Rabbi Small finds himself looking for solace outside the confines of the contentious world of his synagogue in Barnard's Crossing, Massachusetts. When a member of his congregation expresses that she does not want him to officiate her wedding, Rabbi Small has had enough. He seeks escape by dabbling in academia with a part-time teaching gig at a local college. But his fantasy of a tranquil life in an ivory tower is about to come tumbling down. A bombing at the school kills one of the rabbi's coworkers, and Small finds himself caught between adversarial students and feuding faculty members. As he investigates possible suspects with the same logic and measured caution that make him a brilliant religious leader, Rabbi Small finds that everyone has a motive--and an alibi--and it's up to him to uncover the truth.

The Tumbler of God: Chesterton as Mystic
by Stratford Caldecott Robert Wild"We need a new kind of mystic," writes Fr. Robert Wild; and in The Tumbler of God, he presents a spiritual portrait of G.K. Chesterton that convincingly shows why he is precisely the new kind of mystic we need. Chesterton's mysticism was grounded in an experiential knowledge that existence is a gift from God, and that the only response is a spirituality of gratitude and praise for the unveiled beauty of creation. Franz Kafka said of Chesterton, "He is so happy one might almost think he had discovered God." And Fr. Wild adds that "indeed he had, and he was doing his best to live in the light of that discovery. What was his 'secret'? It was to love the splendor of the real, and to live in adulthood the innocence and wonder of the child who sees everything for the first time. The Gospel tells us we must become again like little children in order to enter the kingdom. Chesterton shows us how."

A Turbulent, Seditious and Factious People: John Bunyan and His Church, 1628-88
by Christopher HillPreacher, Soldier, Rebel: Who was the author of Pilgrim’s Progress, one of the most influential books ever written?John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress is one of the most significant works of English literature. Translated into more than 200 languages, there was a time when almost every household in Britain was more likely to have a copy than the Bible.This classic biography of Bunyan by one of the leading historians of the 17th century offers a reassessment of the man in the context of his times. He is usually studied and remembered as the author of The Pilgrim’s Progress and other Christian literature, but his own consideration of himself would most probably have been as a preacher first and foremost—a man whose nonconformist religion led him into conflict with the Quakers and into years of imprisonment. It was in the service of this religion that his writings were produced, many of them during the nearly twelve years spent in Bedford jail between 1660 and 1672.An extraordinary insight into John Bunyan, one of the towering figures of English literature, this remains the definitive biography.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Turbulent Waters: Lone Warriors in Colombia
by Jane LivingstoneThis book is a novel. It is about the persecution of Protestants during the last several years in a neighbor country. It is written from facts, not fancy. Situations similar to those it describes are carefully documented (see Preface).No Christian publisher enjoys issuing a book that leads to strong protest and sharp criticism of another faith; for our job is primarily to preach the Gospel. But Christians, U.S.A., ought to know what the Church in other lands is going through as a call to sincere, persistent prayer. Moreover, history points repeatedly to the good effect on other Christians who have read about or seen the glad trials of faith undergone by Christian martyrs; our own conviction and devotion become heightened, even as happened to the Christians in St. Paul&’s time, who were made bold by his imprisonment. And finally, the truth should be told to demonstrate once again the damage of a religious system founded upon St. Peter rather than upon Christ the Rock; a change of roots results in a different fruit from that of love. Our hope is that reading this book will lead to indignation, not wrath; and to a better understanding of the reasons behind the intolerance of the Roman Catholic system when released from legal restraints and allowed to find its natural level of activity.

Türen nach Tanger
by Zoe Karagianni Mois BenarrochWenn der Vater der Familie Benzimra stirbt, hinterlässt er einen Willen, wo er seine Familie informiert, über einen unehelichen Sohn, den er mit einer muslimischen Frau in Marokko gezeugt. Um das Erbe zu erhalten, wird die Familie angewiesen, um alles möglich zu tun, diesen Sohn zu finden. Sie machen auf den Weg nach Tetouan, Marokko, aus Orten weit wie Jesrusalem, Madrid, New York und Paris. Sie sind auf der Suche nach ihren verlorenen Bruder, eine Reise, die wird ihnen Auge in Auge mit ihren marokkanischen Wurzeln ind mit ihrem Judentum bringen, eine Reise, die ihnen zwingen wird, um ihre Identität zu denken. Nach dieser Erfahrung, werden sie nicht mehr gleich sein. Der Roman zeigt die Sephardim - Aschkenasim Konflikte, die in der israelischen Gesellschaft bestehen sowie die Beziehungen und Spannungen zwischen der arabischen Welt und Europa, und zwischen Naher Osten und westlichen Kulturen. Dies ist eine Welt der Komplexitäten und Nuancen, die oft in die Versionen, die die Medien Ihnen zeigen, verwischt sind. Dies ist ein Roman über die wenig bekannte Welt der Juden in Nordmarokko, voller Intrigen, Humor und Erotik. Aber es gibt auch die Möglichkeit einer Heimkehr. Veröffentlicht von Destino in Spanien im Jahr 2008 auf Spanisch, Arabisch und Hebräisch, und nun übersetzt wurde auf Portugiesisch, Französisch und Italienisch, Türen nach Tanger ist anerkannt als eine literarische Schatz geschätzt sowohl von der Kritik, der akademischen Welt und dem Publikum. "TÜREN NACH TANGER ist nicht in erste Linie eine Kritik an der Marginalisierung der Sephardim in Israel, sondern eine Auseinandersetzung der marokkanischen Komponente der sephardischen Identität. Die Benzimra Wallfahrt nach Tanger, ist jedoch nicht darauf hindeutet, dass diese marokkanischen Komponente, die Essenz der sephardischen Identität ist. Benarroch folgt Khatibi zweisprachigen Paradigma, das darauf hindeutet, dass die Identität in der Kreuzung von Sprachen ausgedrückt ist.
The Turin Shroud: How Da Vinci Fooled History
by Lynn Picknett Clive PrinceIn this fully revised and updated edition, the bestselling authors of The Templar Revelation present new and compelling evidence linking Leonardo da Vinci with the forgery of Christianity's most famous relic. For centuries the Turin Shroud was believed to be Christ's authentic burial cloth, miraculously imprinted with his image -- but in 1988 carbon dating revealed it is a medieval- or Renaissance-era forgery. However, authors Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince realized that the 1988 discovery prompted even more questions: The image seems to be a photograph -- so could the Turin Shroud actually be the world's first photograph? If the face of the man on the Shroud is not Jesus', whose is it? Who had the sheer audacity to create what would become an infamous relic of Christianity, faking even Christ's holy, redemptive blood? Whoever did this was not only a genius but also a heretic.... After more than a decade of research, Picknett and Prince have accumulated evidence that shows not only was the forger of the Turin Shroud none other than Leonardo da Vinci but also that he used his own face for that of Christ. The Turin Shroud is, among other things, a five-hundred-year-old photograph of Leonardo da Vinci. Could Christianity's greatest relic in fact be an attempt to undermine the religion itself?

Turkey, Russia and Iran in the Middle East: Establishing a New Regional Order (The Sciences Po Series in International Relations and Political Economy)
by Bayram Balci Nicolas MonceauThis book explores the complexity of the Syrian question and its effects on the foreign policies of Russia, Iran, and Turkey. The Syrian crisis has had a major effect on the regional order in the Middle East. Syria has become a territory where the rivalry between Russia and Western powers is being played out, and with the West’s gradual withdrawal, the conflict will without a doubt have lasting effects locally and on the international order. This collection focuses on the effects of the Syrian crisis on the new governance of the Middle East region by three political regimes: Russia, Iran, and Turkey. Many articles and a number of books have been written on this conflict, which has lasted over ten years, but no publication has examined simultaneously and comparatively how these three states are participating in the shared management of the Syrian conflict.

Turkish Jews and their Diasporas: Entanglements and Separations (Modernity, Memory and Identity in South-East Europe)
by Kerem Öktem İpek Kocaömer YosmaoǧluThis book introduces the reader to the past and present of Jewish life in Turkey and to Turkish Jewish diaspora communities in Israel, Europe, Latin America and the United States. It surveys the history of Jews in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic, examining the survival of Jewish communities during the dissolution of the empire and their emigration to America, Europe, and Israel. In the cases discussed, members of these communities often sought and seek close connections with Turkey, even if those ‘ties that bind’ are rarely reciprocated by Turkish governments. Contributors also explore Turkish Jewishness today, as it is lived in Israel and Turkey, and as found in ‘places of memory’ in many cities in Turkey, where Jews no longer exist today.
