Summary

In "Theory & History of Historiography," Benedetto Croce presents a profound exploration of the philosophy of history, intertwining historical analysis with a rigorous examination of the nature and purpose of historiography. Croce's literary style is characterized by clarity and precision, as he navigates complex ideas surrounding the interpretation of historical events and the role of the historian. He advocates for history as a subjective discipline, emphasizing the intertwining of past events with contemporary interpretations, and situating his discourse within the broader context of early 20th-century historiographical debates that challenge positivist narratives. Benedetto Croce, an eminent Italian philosopher and historian, was pivotal in shaping the discourse around historical theory in his time. His own background in philosophy and his deep engagement with various cultural and intellectual movements informed his insights in this book. Croce's commitment to the idea that history is both an art and a science reflects his lifelong endeavor to reconcile the intellectual rigor of philosophy with the narrative vitality of literature, making his perspectives uniquely profound yet accessible. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of history and philosophy alike, "Theory & History of Historiography" offers essential insights into the evolving understanding of history's narrative form. Croce's work not only challenges readers to rethink historiography but also encourages a broader appreciation for how history is constructed, delivered, and interpreted across contexts. This book is indispensable for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the discipline's theoretical foundations.

    "Menexenus" is a dialogue written by Plato in which Socrates delivers a funeral oration in honor of Athenian soldiers who have died in battle. The dialogue takes place between Socrates and Menexenus, a young man who has just returned from the funeral of his own father. In his oration, Socrates uses the occasion to criticize the way in which Athenian leaders often exploit the deaths of soldiers for their own political gain. He argues that true patriotism and heroism are not based on fame or glory, but on the love of one's country and fellow citizens. Overall, "Menexenus" is a thought-provoking exploration of rhetoric, patriotism, and political manipulation, making it a valuable addition to the philosophical literature of ancient Greece. Read in English, unabridged.

    From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible proclaims justice and abundance for the poor. Yet these powerful passages about poverty are frequently overlooked and misinterpreted. Enter the Poor People's Campaign, a movement against racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism, and religious nationalism. In We Cry Justice, Liz Theoharis, cochair of the campaign, is joined by pastors, community organizers, scholars, low-wage workers, lay leaders, and people in poverty to interpret sacred stories about the poor seeking healing, equity, and freedom. In a world roiled by poverty and injustice, Scripture still speaks. 
 
 
 
Organized into fifty-two chapters, each focusing on a key Scripture passage, We Cry Justice offers comfort and challenge from the many stories of the poor taking action together. Listen to the story of the exodus that frees people from debt and slavery, the prophets who denounce the rich and ruling classes, the stories of Jesus's healing and parables about fair wages, and the early church's sharing of goods. Reflection questions and a short prayer at the end of each chapter offer the opportunity to use the book devotionally through a year. 
 
 
 
The Bible cries for justice, and we do too. It's time to act on God's persistent call to repair the breach and fight poverty, not the poor.
