68849 FREUD A GENERAL INTRODUCTION

RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY


The greater the philosopher, the harder it is for him to answer the questions of the average man.


- Henryk Sienkiewicz 73926 ABSOLUTE


MONARCHS: A History of the Papacy


by John Julius Norwich The author refreshingly admits that this book is not designed for church historians. It ‘is intended for the average intelligent reader, be he believer or unbeliever, who would simply like to know a little more about the background of what is…


the most astonishing social, political and spiritual institution ever created’. Here then is the story of some of history’s most revered and reviled figures, men who still today cast light and shadows on the Vatican and the world. This sweeping chronicle captures nearly 2,000 years of inspiration, devotion, intrigue and scandal. The men (and maybe one woman) who have held this position of infallible power over millions have ranged from heroes to rogues, and from admirably wise to utterly decadent. The author recounts in riveting detail the histories of the most significant popes and what they meant politically, culturally and socially to Rome and to the world. Here are such brave incumbents as Innocent I, who in the 5th century successfully negotiated with Alaric the Goth, and Leo I, who two decades later tamed (and probably paid off) Attila the Hun. Here, too, are Pope Joan, the mythic woman said to have been elected in 855, and the infamous ‘pornocracy’ - the five libertines. Not forgotten are reformers such as Pope Paul II ‘the greatest pontiff of the 16th century, who reinterpreted the Church’s teaching and discipline’, and John XXIII who, in five short years opened up the Church to the 20th century. The tale is brought right up to date with Benedict XVI, who has been coping with a global priest sex scandal. Unputdownable. A thick 512 rough cut pages with plates in colour and b/w, list of popes and antipopes and maps. $30 NOW £8.50


74078 NORFOLK CHURCHES by David Stanford The sheer wealth of famously beautiful churches in Norfolk made selection complicated for the author. Not only that, but Norfolk is a county that has always been a little difficult to get to - a county of


sweeping plains, marshlands, tortuous roads, and the Norfolk broads spreading their waters between the towns. These difficulties were compounded by the fact that many churches are not open, with no key-holders available. However, those 60 buildings that found their way into the pages of this lovely book are well worth seeing, with a wealth of art and anecdote to share. They still play an important role as refuges for belief, contemplation, peace, awe and the retelling of the myriad stories of humanity, and that is echoed in the glorious pictures and informative text describing them. The varied selection includes the eccentric confection that is St Michael and All Saints Booton, described by the famous architect Lutyens as ‘very naughty but in the right spirit’, St Andrew Gunton, designed by Robert Adam, St Helen Ranworth, known as ‘the Cathedral of the Broads’ and the mysterious Red Mount Chapel at Kings Lynn. Our favourite, however, remains All Saints Ashwellthorpe, with its delicate, warm pink colouring


and its intricately detailed alabaster tomb of Sir Edmund Thorp and his wife Joan. 128 pages 27cm by 26cm richly illustrated with superb colour photos, plus glossary, map and location key. £14.99 NOW £7


74240 YORKSHIRE


CHURCHES THROUGH TIME by Alan Whitworth


Yorkshire is particularly well blessed with ecclesiastical architecture. Despite many of its rural churches losing their congregations as people moved from the land to the factories and mills in the 18th and 19th centuries, the buildings themselves still stand firm, and the churches in the towns and cities


that were built to accommodate this influx of new worshippers are today themselves some of the most striking buildings in town. Alan Whitworth has assembled this impressive collection of images both old and new to form the basis of his affectionate and often humorous tour of Yorkshire’s religious institutions. From the magnificent 180 foot spire of All Saints, Rotherham, the cruciform splendour of the Abbey Church at Selby and the unique octagonal crenelated tower and horseshoe altar rail of St Michael’s at Coxwold, to the cliff-top isolation of St Stephen’s at Robin Hood’s Bay and the tiny undedicated chapel at Lead, which served as a final resting place for many soldiers killed at the Battle of Towton, here are almost 200 colour and b/w images. Extensive explanatory captions, this will delight those who love Yorkshire. 96pp softback. £14.99 NOW £6


73875 AUGUSTINE OF


HIPPO: Selected Writings foreword by Francine du Plessix Gray


One of the HarperCollins Spiritual Classics, a foundation work that shaped Western religious thought and culture, Augustine of Hippo (354-430) is one of the most influential figures in the history of the church. A bishop, philosopher and doctor of the church whose thought has moulded the Western


tradition, Augustine was deeply spiritual and his writings emphasised the soul’s experience of God in its depth. The book features selections from his writings including Confessions and The City of God. His writings give joy and solace and heighten our sense of humanity’s wretchedness and potential glory. 146pp in paperback. £8.99 NOW £5


73872 CHRISTIANS AND


THE FALL OF ROME by Edward Gibbon ‘The primitive Christians perpetually trod on mystic ground, and their minds were exorcised by the habits of believing the most extraordinary events.’ Gibbon’s subversive and iconoclastic description of the rise of Christianity inspired outrage upon publication. It remains one of the most eloquent and damning indictments of the


delusory nature of faith. Penguin paperback with embossed cover. 91pp. $8.95 NOW £4


73540 AND MAN CREATED GOD by Selina O’Grady


At the time of Jesus’ birth, across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia, societies were rife with gods and messiahs, priests and warriors. Religion was becoming the source of order and stability. In Rome, Augustus was deified by his brilliant spin doctors. In what is now Sudan, the warrior queen Amanirenas
