Par Teresa Lust. 2020
"Moving from the Piedmont region in northern Italy to the Maremma in southern Tuscany, and then to Le Marche along…
the Adriatic coast, Teresa Lust interweaves portraits of the people who served as her culinary guides with cultural and natural history, in this charming exploration of authentic Italian cuisine. We learn how to prepare bagna cauda-a robust dipping sauce of anchovies, garlic, and olive oil-with Lust's relatives outside Torino. We make hand-stretched grissini, Italy's iconic breadstick, and learn the secrets of zabaione, a classic dessert of egg yolks, sugar, and marsala whisked into an ethereal foam. In the Tuscan village of Manciano we discover the story of acquacotta, a rustic "stone" soup that nourished generations of the area's shepherds and cowhands. And in the town of Camerano, an eighty-year-old woman reveals the art of hand-rolling pasta with a three-foot rolling pin. Underpinning Lust's travels is her journey from chef to cook, mirroring the fact that Italians have been masters of home cooking for generations, and remain a vibrant source of inspiration. Today, more and more people are rediscovering the pleasures of cooking at home, and Lust's account-and wonderfully delicious recipes-will help readers bring an Italian sensibility to their home tables." -- Dust jacketThe ministry of Peter the chief apostle: The 43rd Annual Brigham Young University Sidney B.

l'Évangile. Au seuil de la jeunesse, l'auteur est passé, dans les camps de la mort, par l'épreuve du silence de Dieu. Devenu particulièrement sensible à l'immensité de la détresse qui peut submerger les hommes, une question le poursuit : dans la nuit de la mort où Dieu se tait, quelle espérance l'Évangile peut-il encore apporter ? En méditant les évangiles, l'auteur cherche à rencontrer un visage, une présence. " L'homme qui annonce au monde la tendresse de Dieu pour la terre a connu l'expérience la plus crucifiante de l'absence de Dieu. La révélation de Dieu en Jésus se fait au cœur même de la condition humaine la plus abandonnée." La vérité de l'Évangile tient à la profondeur de cette expérience de Jésus. L'auteur en est convaincu. Et sa lecture des grandes pages des évangiles, qui se distingue par la justesse exégétique et par une émouvante sobriété de ton, en porte la marque, comme s'il conviait le lecteur à un sérieux inhabituel, à une attention extrême, pour rencontrer Jésus. Ce livre, qui laisse deviner un voyage intérieur, s'adresse aux femmes et aux hommes de ce temps qui, de tant de manières, font l'épreuve de l'absence et du silence de Dieu.Hidden Like Anne Frank: 14 True Stories Of Survival
Par Marcel Prins, Peter Henk Steenhuis. 2011
For readers of The Boy Who Dared and Prisoner B-3087, a collection of unforgettable true stories of children hidden away…
during World War II.Jaap Sitters was only eight years old when his mother cut the yellow stars off his clothes and sent him, alone, on a fifteen-mile walk to hide with relatives. It was a terrifying night, one he would never forget. Before the end of the war, he would hide in secret rooms and behind walls. He would suffer from hunger, sickness, and the looming threat of Nazi raids. But he would live.This is just one of the true stories told in Hidden Like Anne Frank, a collection of eye-opening first-person accounts that share the experience of going into hiding to escape the Holocaust. Some were just toddlers when they were hidden; some were teenagers. Some hid with neighbors or family, while many were with complete strangers. But all know the pain of losing their homes, their families, even their own names. They describe the secret network that kept them safe. And they share the coincidences and close calls that made all the difference.Not For Tourists Guide to London 2024 (Not For Tourists)

Par Bernard Ollivier, Bénédicte Flatet. 2016
After trekking nearly 7,500 miles, from Istanbul, Turkey to Xi&’an, China, French travel writer Bernard Ollivier thought he had put…
the Silk Road behind him—enough for a retiree to rest on his laurels! But that was before meeting his now-partner-in-life Bénédicte Flatet. Why, she asked, hadn&’t he set out from France? After all, the city of Lyon was once Europe&’s silk capital. Now, at seventy-five years old, Ollivier decides to lace up his walking boots and head out to complete his Silk-Road journey, once and for all: 1,900 miles, from Lyon to Istanbul. Only this time, he won&’t be alone. Flatet has long yearned to hike side-by-side with Ollivier, so the couple sets out together . . . This unexpected fourth volume in Ollivier&’s Silk Road series (Out of Istanbul, Walking to Samarkand, and Winds of the Steppe) is a wonderful bonus for the author&’s fans: not only is it the enthralling continuation of his long walk across Asia, it&’s a new journey unto itself, across Europe, full of delightful firsts, such as the inclusion of short chronicles by Flatet. Through ten countries—from familiar France and Italy to the more mysterious Balkans—the intrepid pair invites us to discover the sometimes happy, sometimes tragic history of those they encounter, and to share in their daily lives. Back to Istanbul is both a fervent appeal for greater understanding among peoples, and a magnificent declaration of love.The Prayer Bible: Pray God’s Word Cover to Cover (NKJV)

discussion. Resulting from multi-year work of the Scripture and Doctrine Seminar, part of KLC's Scripture Collective, this book attends to the portrayal of divine action in one major biblical text, namely Hebrews. In the New Testament, Hebrews is on par with Romans in terms of importance but has too often been overlooked. Contributors to this volume explore the many different ways in which divine action is foregrounded and portrayed in Hebrews. As its name indicates, Hebrews overflows with Old Testament intertextuality, which also makes it a fertile ground for analysis of divine action stretching back into the Old Testament and opening out into different parts of the NT. The essays in this volume:rigorously work the interface of theology and exegesis, all related to Hebrews;offer an overview of the current state of discussion of divine action and the importance of exploring divine action in specific biblical texts, with special reference to William Abraham's recent 4 volume work with OUP;provide an overview of the reception history of Hebrews in theologies of divine action;explore how this has this played out in historical theology and what a retrieval of Hebrews for a theology of divine action might mean today;explore the relationship between the doctrine of God and divine action in Hebrews, including an engagement with classical theism;provocatively explore divine action in the OT, creation, and eschatology in Hebrews;explore the major theme in Hebrews of divine action through the ongoing priesthood of Jesus as portrayed in Hebrews;relate this all to preaching Hebrews today and to spiritual formation.The book's conclusion reflects on the primary action of God speaking in Hebrews.The Word Became Culture (Disruptive Cartographers: Doing Theology Latinamente)

Par Helen Paynter. 2023
This volume in Biblical Theology for Life series dives deeply into the topic of human violence. Before exploring what the…
Bible says about violence, Old Testament scholar Helen Paynter sets out the contours for the study ahead by addressing the various definitions of violence and the theories of its origins, prevalence, and purpose. What is violence? Is there such a thing as "natural violence"? Is violence a human or social construct or can we describe natural phenomena as violent? How does the concept of violence relate to the concept of evil? Violence is everywhere; is it escapable? How do we resist violence?Having queued up the questions, Paynter takes us to the Bible for answers. Starting with the creation narratives in Genesis considered in comparison with the ancient Near Eastern myths and moving to the conquest of Canaan--the most problematic of biblical narratives--she investigates how these deep myths speak to the origins of human violence and its consequences. The prevalence of violence through biblical history is inescapable. Scripture reveals the hydra-like nature of human violence, investigating types of violence including but not limited to: structural violence, verbal violence, sexual violence, violence as public /political act, racialised violence, including "othering." Through the voices of the prophets and then in the teaching of Jesus, the Bible reveals that the seeds of violence exist within every human heart. Even though we see evidence of resistance movements in the Bible, such as the responses to attempted genocide in Exodus and Esther, it is only on the cross that an absorption of violence by God takes place: a defeat of violence by self-sacrifice. Along the way, Paynter considers other relevant biblical themes, including the apocalypse, "crushing the serpent's head," and the concept of divine vengeance, culminating in the resurrected Christ's lack of vengeance against those who did him to death. In light of the New Testament, we will consider how the first Christians responded to the structural violence of slavery and patriarchy and how they began to apply Jesus' redemptive, non-vengeful theology to their own day.The book concludes by discussing of what this means for Christians today. For many of us who live without routine encounters with or threats of violence, we must consider our responsibility in a world where our experience is the exception. With attention to the multi-headed hydra that is violence and the concealed structures of violence in our own Western society, Paynter challenges readers to consider their own, perhaps inherited, privilege and complicity. The question of how we regard "others," both as individuals and as societies, is a deeply relevant and urgent one for the church: The church can and should be a wholly non-othering body. So what implications does this have for the church and, for example, Black Lives Matter or the rampant xenophobia in our society or immigration and global migration issues? How do we resist evil? What does it mean to turn the other cheek when the cheek that has been slapped is not our own? How do we resist the monster without becoming the monster?Just Passing Through: A Seven-Decade Roman Holiday: The Diaries and Photographs of Milton Gendel
Par Milton Gendel. 2022
One of Vanity Fair’s Best Books of 2022 “Milton Gendel had the good fortune to live a wildly entertaining life…
in Rome—a charmed, romantic period he captured in diaries and photos. Milton had the further good fortune to have Cullen Murphy bring this vanished dolce vita to life.” —Graydon Carter, coeditor of Air MailA never-before-seen treasure trove of photos and diary entries from the celebrated photographer Milton Gendel that bring Rome’s midcentury heyday to life.“I’m just passing through,” Milton Gendel liked to say whenever anybody asked him what he was doing in Rome. Even after seven decades in the Eternal City, from his arrival as a Fulbright Scholar in 1949 until his death in 2018 at the age of ninety-nine, he refused to be pigeonholed. He was always an American—never an “expat,” never an émigré—but he couldn’t leave, so deep were his ties, and this dual bond left an indelible imprint on his life and art.Born in New York City to Russian immigrants, Gendel first made his way to Meyer Schapiro’s classroom at Columbia University and then to Greenwich Village, where he and his friend Robert Motherwell joined the circle of surrealists around Peggy Guggenheim and André Breton. But it was Rome that earned his enduring fascination—the city supplied him with endless outlets for his curiosity, a series of dazzling apartments in palazzi, the great loves of his life, and the scores of friendships that made his story inextricably part of the city’s own.Gendel did much more than just pass through, instead becoming one of Rome’s foremost documentarians. He spoke Italian fluently, worked for the industrialist Adriano Olivetti, and sampled the latest currents of Italian art as a correspondent for ARTnews. And he was an artist in his own right, capturing the lives of Sicilian peasants and British royals alike on film and showing his photographs at the Roman outpost of the Marlborough Gallery. Then there were his diaries, a casement window thrown open onto a who’s who of artists, writers, and socialites sojourning in the city that remained, for Gendel, the Caput Mundi: Mark Rothko, Princess Margaret, Alexander Calder, Anaïs Nin, Gore Vidal, Martha Gellhorn, Muriel Spark. His longtime home on the Isola Tiberina was the nerve center of the dolce vita generation, whose comings and goings and doings he immortalized in both words and images.Here, for the first time in print, are Gendel’s diaries, together with his photographs, selected and edited by Cullen Murphy. Just Passing Through brings together the most striking artifacts of one of the past century’s richest and most expansive lives, salted with wit and insight into the figures who defined an era.Includes black-and-white photographs
