Book Description
It was once said that all a person has to do to realize God has a very good sense of humor is to look at a platypus. The same sentiment applies to the Bible. The Bible often seems like foreign territory, not only for students encountering it in introductory classes, but also for those who have spent many years in church. To many people, it is an intimidating collection of rules, lists, and theological arguments. But in reality, most of the Bible is made up of fascinating stories. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're weird, sometimes they're inspiring, but they're never dull. This college-level introduction invites students into biblical studies through creative, humorous retellings (and a few cartoons here and there) of the basic biblical narratives. The best way to get into the Bible, says Robert F. Darden, is to get to know its stories. In this new approach to introducing the Bible to students, Darden covers the major biblical stories and characters, retelling them in such a way as to bring out their original humor and pathos, and inviting the student to encounter them more fully by moving into the text itself.

Darden runs the project at Baylor University where he is a journalism professor. The purpose of the project is to identify, acquire, preserve, record, and catalogue the most at-risk music from the black gospel music tradition, primarily between 1945 and 1970.

Book Description
John Bradburne's life was a remarkable spiritual odyssey. After wartime service on the Indian sub-continent he became a perennial pilgrim, never at home in the world, not even in his native England. Restless wanderings led him through Europe to the Holy Land, to a succession of religious communities, and ultimately to Africa, where he met a violent death during the Zimbabwean war of independence in 1979. This astonishing account of his life among the lepers, and the astonishing events at his funeral, make it clear that here was a man marked with special charisma, who was marked out for sanctity. Since his death devotion to his memory has sprung up in southern Africa and elsewhere. Poet, mystic, hermit and vagabond, John Bradburne's life was a ceaseless quest for God. Fr John Dove SJ first met John Bradburne during the Second World War. He entered the Jesuits in 1949 and served the Zimbabwe mission for over thirty years.

Book Description
Several world cities are held in reverence by some or all three monotheistic faiths, but no world region has allure to all three on a level matched by Galilee in northern Israel. The region where Jesus came of age, Galilee is where Christianity came into being as a communal faith; it is where Judaism reinvented itself in rabbinic, Talmudic form after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple; and it is where Islam established its place in the Holy Land, following epochal military triumphs in the region’s center or its outer rims. The History of Galilee, 47 BCE to 1260 CE: From Josephus and Jesus to the Crusades tells Galilee’s history, from Josephus and Jesus to the Crusades, in a multi-cultural format and lively narrative voice. This first-of-its-kind publication will be a rich source of information and a catalyst of inter-faith discussion among readers of varying backgrounds and interests.

Book Description
Jesus Christ was a narcissistic, horrifically violent, slavery supporting, misogynistic, wealth worshipping, Roman occupation collaborating, gaslighting, hissy fit throwing, hell condemning, vile fictional character. Plus he famously went into a public place and attacked people, sheep, cattle, and other barnyard animals with a whip, quite possibly stemming from having been born in a barn. He was also astoundingly lazy. He actually did very little to help the poor, spent most of his time in the company of the rich, and hurt a great many. For every positive thing he said, there are innumerable examples of him saying, and most importantly, doing the opposite. He was also utterly indifferent to his fellow Jews' mass enslavement, crucifixions, and grinding poverty under the Roman occupation. His maniacal enthusiasm for condemning people to hell is less about anyone deserving it and more about him throwing a temper tantrum whenever his feelings were hurt. Much of what he says comes across as “You just wait til I come back with my dad and his angels! Boy are you guys gonna be sorry!”The best way to get through the tedium of reading the Gospels is to imagine Jesus as a spoiled four year old who thinks he has divine powers. His famous parables were told to, for the benefit of, and from the perspective of kings, wealthy “masters,” and most shockingly, slaveowners. This was one of several surprising—a more accurate word would be sickening—things to be discovered when reading the Gospels: his cruel and demeaning attitude to the poor and particularly the enslaved. In Matthew 18 and The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant, Jesus, aka the Prince of Compassion, enthusiastically allows for torture when a slave can't repay a debt (verse 34): "In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed." In his charming Parable of the Wedding Banquet (Matthew 22), a poor man is violently thrown out for not wearing the correct clothes. Jesus' exact words are (verse 13): “throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” This catchphrase is repeated throughout the Gospels: you can just imagine him asking someone to pass the salt or else they will be thrown “outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Jesus was the absolute master of blaming the victim. In John 5:14 he heals a man who had been unable to walk for 38 years and then tells him to “Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” A woman accused of adultery is told the same thing (John 8:11). In Mark 4 and Matthew 13 he tells his disciples that he speaks in parables so that most people won't understand what he's talking about, and thus won't be forgiven and will be condemned to hell. Because, you know, he can. Classy guy. Arguably his clearest teachings combine slavish worship of hierarchy and wealth with an utter contempt for the most destitute of society. In his Parable of the Ten Minas a king "of noble birth" has his opponents brought before him to be killed. The cruelty is the point (Luke 19:27): “'But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’” By the way: a more accurate name for Jesus is actually Oily Josh, since Jesus in Hebrew is “Yeshua” which translates to Joshua in English, and Christ means “the anointed one”.
