This book is a journey through the New Testament focussed on the ministry of Jesus and the responsibilities given to the church, particularly, in stewarding the truths of the word of God. It is looking afresh at these truths and reminding us of the responsibility the church has of ensuring each generation knows what has been committed to them by the Lord. We begin by looking at the impact of the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ while on earth, particularly, from the perspective of encounters that ordinary men and women experienced. Their reaction and responses lets us know what resonated with them. Whether it was Jesus teaching in their Synagogues or on a hillside we continually hear expressed how they were astonished at His doctrine. They would even ask the question ‘what new doctrine is this.’ It is gleaning from the Lord so that we follow in His footsteps that we might see a similar response in these days as the word of God goes forth. As the church grew and expanded throughout the Roman Empire a number of revelations were committed into the hands of the church. These revelations were defined as mysteries in the New Testament which have to be passed from generation to generation. The Apostle Paul provides details of eight of these mysteries, the Apostle John speaks of two mysteries, and the Lord Himself gives us one mystery. Part two of this book explores these mysteries.

American History through Hollywood Film offers a new perspective on major issues in American history from the 1770s to the end of the twentieth century and explores how they have been represented in film. Melvyn Stokes examines how and why representation has changed over time, looking at the origins, underlying assumptions, production, and reception of an important cross-section of historical films.

Major themes such as ethnicity, slavery, Native Americans and Jewish immigrants are covered and a final chapter looks at the way the 1960s and 70s have been dealt with by Hollywood. This book is essential reading for anyone studying American history and the relationship between history and film.

In the shameful and criminal tragedy of sexual assault in schools, Vice provides a disturbing footnote, looking through a dark lens at the maze of motivations swirling around the underworld of staff and students. Every school is a complex and unique human network: inspiring, dangerous, eccentric, funny, political, toxic and frequently like something out of a play or movie. Vice is the play which tackles a controversial subject head on. There are many twisted strands to the hangman's rope.
Given the progress made in recent years in recovering the writings of early modern women, one might expect that a complete set of the important works of Mary Astell (1666-1731) would have been reissued long before now. Instead, only portions of the thought of the 'First English Feminist' have reached a wide academic audience. This volume presents a critical and annotated edition of the correspondence between Astell and John Norris of Bemerton (1657-1711), Letters Concerning the Love of God, which was published in three separate editions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (1695, 1705, 1730). This work had profound significance in eighteenth-century intellectual and religious circles, and represents a crucial step in the development of Norris and Astell's philosophical and theological opposition to that most prominent of Enlightenment figures, John Locke. Letters Concerning the Love of God includes, as contextual material, Norris's Cursory Reflections upon a Book Call'd, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690), the first published philosophical response to (as Bishop Stillingfleet would later put it) Locke's 'new way of ideas,' and Astell's biting and comprehensive attack on Locke in the 'Appendix' to the second edition of The Christian Religion, As Professed by a Daughter of the Church of England (1717). These texts serve to place both Letters and its authors in the contentious philosophical-theological climate to which they belonged, one wherein, most significantly, Locke's present-day preeminence had yet to be realized. The editors' extensive introduction and annotations to this volume not only provide background on the historical and biographical elements, but also elucidate philosophical and theological concepts that are perhaps unfamiliar to modern readers.
