Beyond Beowulf

Beowulf, the oldest saga in the English language, ends with Beowulf's death and premonitions of disaster as his people face their enemies alone. For over a thousand years, the world has waited to hear what happened next. Beyond Beowulf provides the answer. Author Christopher L. Webber provides a flashback to one of Beowulf's adventures in a voyage to the New World and an epic battle with a sea monster. In search of security, Beowulf's people embark on a sea voyage that leads to encounters with trolls and hostile tribes as well as a peaceful reception by monastic communities along the English coast. But this is more than an adventure yarn; along the way the text also confronts us with the very modern problem of refugees and puts forward a poignant appeal for peace.

Probably no subject generates more emotion today than the definition of marriage. We are even asked to vote on it and choose candidates by their position on it. But there are also few subjects which most people know so little.This book provides the information people need to form their opinion. Drawing on a careful survey of the Biblical background and (primarily) Christian history, the book outlines some of the ways in which Christians might begin to reshape their way of doing marriage in a way that makes better sense for our future.

It has been said that zarzuela means to Spain what operetta means to Vienna, Offenbach to Paris, Gilbert and Sullivan to London, and the musical to Broadway. Zarzuela is Spain's unique contribution to lyric theatre, a mixture of spoken and sung drama with a complex history extending over four centuries. The Zarzuela Companion is a comprehensive guide to zarzuela's most popular and romantic works written after 1850, with chapters devoted to the major Spanish zarzuela composers, writers and singers. Complete synopses of all sixty works selected are delivered at the level of detail necessary for non-Spanish speakers to follow along with ease. The book also features special sections on the history of the genre, and on the parallel Catalan and Cuban zarzuela traditions. A foreword by Plácido Domingo, a selected discography with current catalog reference numbers, a brief bilingual bibliography and glossary of Spanish terms make this book indispensable for the newcomer and aficionado alike.

Christopher L. Webber tells the stories of men and women who left the church of their childhood for various reasons: questions of conscience, authority, remarriage after divorce, sexuality, the need to ask questions. We hear from a lawyer, a pilot, a nurse, an executive, a homemaker, two priests and a bishop what it meant for them to make this journey. Their stories raise larger issues of conversion, discernment, inclusion, church membership and belonging.

Throughout the three centuries before Christ many hundreds of thousands of Thracians, in more than 40 tribes, occupied the area between northern Greece, southern Russia and north-west Turkey. Skilled horsemen, masters of light infantry fighting in broken terrain, and renowned for their ferocity, the Thracians were feared by even the greatest of their contemporaries, who were eager to employ them as mercenaries. After surviving invasions by the Persians, Greeks, Macedonians and Celts, the Thracians were finally conquered by Rome in AD 46. This concise but lavishly illustrated study of their history and material culture includes the results of the latest archaeological research, notably some remarkable tomb paintings.
