Sinossi

What do we see when we look at the past, and why does it so often tug at our hearts?
 
In the fourth Antelope Hill Publishing Writing Competition, entitled Thinking About Rome, participants shared the reflections, emotions, and yearnings that come with considering our history – with all of its trials, tragedies, and lessons – and how doing so can motivate us today.
 
In the words of G.K. Chesterton: “Men did not love Rome because she was great. She was great because men had loved her.” The poems and short stories in this book consider the perennial nature of human experiences, whether they happened yesterday or thousands of years ago, and the intersections of our struggles today and those of times long past. The selected works – a collection that is somber, adventurous, tragic, pensive, and comedic – bear witness to the skills of the authors and the legacy of our people.
 
Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present the selected works of our fourth annual writing contest, Thinking About Rome.
Disponibile da: 12/10/2024.

    Womanish Theology - Discovering...

    Khristi Lauren Adams's faith was first shaped by her experiences as a Black girl—learning about Scripture from her grandmother, Mama Hattie; "playing church" with her seven cousins over summer vacation; and grieving the murder of her sixteen-year-old friend when she was just fifteen. 
     
     
     
    In Womanish Theology, Adams reflects on those experiences, inviting listeners to learn from a new perspective and guiding them to a deeper understanding of their own spirituality. 
     
     
     
    This groundbreaking book introduces a new branch of theological thought Adams calls womanish, as a play on the womanist tradition (the theology of Black womanhood). "Womanish," remembers Adams, is a term Black mothers used for young girls as they grew more interested in doing grown-up things. Adams draws on her own life story as well as the life stories of other Black girls to explore theological concepts such as Scripture, theodicy, salvation, prayer, neighborly love, and the image of God. 
     
     
     
    Through this journey, listeners will learn that theology is for everyone and that the whole community of God can learn from the spiritual insights of Black girls.

    The true story of the man who gave his life to create the English-language Bible.The English Bible—the most familiar book in our language—is the product of a man who was exiled, vilified, betrayed, then strangled, then burnt.William Tyndale left England in 1524 to translate the word of God into English. This was heresy, punishable by death. Sir Thomas More, hailed as a saint and a man for all seasons, considered it his divine duty to pursue Tyndale. He did so with an obsessive ferocity that, in all probability, led to Tyndale's capture and death.The words that Tyndale wrote during his desperate exile have a beauty and familiarity that still resonate across the English-speaking world: “Death, where is thy sting? . . . eat, drink, and be merry . . . our Father which art in heaven.” His New Testament, which he translated, edited, financed, printed, and smuggled into England in 1526, passed with few changes into subsequent versions of the Bible. So did those books of the Old Testament that he lived to finish.Brian Moynahan's lucid and meticulously researched biography illuminates Tyndale's life, from his childhood in England, to his death outside Brussels. It chronicles the birth pangs of the Reformation, the wrath of Henry VIII, the sympathy of Anne Boleyn, and the consuming malice of Thomas More. Above all, it reveals the English Bible as a labor of love, for which a man in an age more spiritual than our own willingly gave his life.
