Book Description
Excerpt from With a Silken Thread and Other Stories, Vol. 2 of 3 When he said this, squaring his shoulders and thrusting out his chest, while using that tone of affected humility which is used by some prosperous men boasting of their prosperity under the guise of bewailing their lower condition, Charley wondered - as indeed he had often wondered in these later years how he ever came to love Alick Farmer, false, boastful, cruel, as he had always been from boyhood upward. What had been the spell upon him - why had he not been always able to read him as he read him now, and in that reading to despise and shun him? You are talking nonsense, Alick, he said quite quietly; and you know it. Yet, for all you are so much above me, I do not want your help.

Excerpt from In Bad Hands, Vol. 2 of 3: And Other Tales It's not as if you haven't been sensibly brought up, ' said Luke, gravely, or were one of those wenches in the village. It's just the sort 0' thing I can't abide in man or woman, Peggy; hardly in a child. I can't abide it.' Then don't abide it, ' said Peggy, pertly; 'that doesn't matter to anybody, I suppose.' I should hope it would matter to you, ' he said tenderly, now, and if it don't matter what I say or think, why, you're not my Peggy, but some other lass who's come out of My Lady's Chapel instead of yourself.'

Excerpt from Through the Long Night, Vol. 2 of 3 Such ties as Anthony might have had out there in the Wild West-such loves as might have brightened his life and softened the ruggedness of his self-elected path - were either buried beneath the church-yard clay, or had been washed away by some great tidal wave of change - estrangement - who knows what? In any case, there was no reason why he should not give his thoughts, his dreams, his fancies to Anne Aspline, or to any other. And in truth he was in the mood which makes what is called a marrying man, ' - ready to fall inlove with the first likely girl who presented herself.

Book Description
A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.
