Synopsis

"Classical Myth Symbolism" explores how ancient Greek and Roman myths encode fundamental truths about humanity and society. It examines these narratives for symbolic patterns reflecting social order, the natural world, and psychological archetypes, offering a fact-based analysis rooted in historical context. The book argues that myths, when viewed as symbolic systems, provide valuable insights into the foundations of human societies and psychology. For example, myths often legitimized social hierarchies through tales of gods and heroes, revealing embedded power dynamics. 

 
The book progresses by first defining key terms and outlining the methodological framework, then dedicating subsequent sections to the core themes. One section focuses on how myths legitimize social hierarchies, another on the personification of nature, and the third on psychological archetypes. This approach distinguishes "Classical Myth Symbolism" by avoiding speculative interpretations and focusing on objective symbolic patterns.

 
By understanding these patterns, readers can gain a deeper appreciation of art, literature, and culture, as well as insights into personal growth.

    "A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly 
     
     
     
    Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
     
     
     
    Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. 
     
     
     
    Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice? 
     
     
     
    Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.

    WINNER OF THE TATA LITERATURE LIVE FIRST BOOK AWARD (NON-FICTION) 2021 
     
    Maharashtra, India's richest state by GDP, has its eyes set on becoming the country's first trillion-dollar economy by 2025. At the same time, Marathwada -- a historically backward part of the state adjoining the distressed Vidarbha region -- has seen a surge in farmer suicides. 
    At the heart of the crisis is a cyclical drought that has persisted for almost a decade. Relief packages and loan waivers have not reversed the trend. On the contrary, the stories of dystopia grow more tragic every year as thousands of farmer families flee to the big cities, while those who stay back are plagued by bad credit and crop loss. 
    Landscapes of Loss tells the story of Marathwada through the accounts of its people: marginal farmers, Dalits, landless labourers, farm widows and children. It lays bare the complex factors that have brought the region to this pass -- a story representative, in many ways, of the agrarian unrest in large parts of rural India.

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines David Hume, the father of modern skepticism and author of An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, exploring human knowledge, causality, miracles, and the idea of the self.
