Life of Christ - Exploring the Spiritual Wisdom of a Divine Figure

Giovanni Papini

Sinopsis

In "Life of Christ," Giovanni Papini presents a strikingly vivid narrative that intertwines theological reflection and literary artistry. Through a series of evocative vignettes, Papini delves deeply into the biographical and spiritual dimensions of Jesus Christ, exploring both the historical context of His life and the theological implications of His teachings. Written in a prose style that is at once lyrical and contemplative, the book deftly weaves philosophical inquiries with an immersive portrayal of the New Testament landscape, making it a significant contribution to modern Christian literature. Giovanni Papini was an Italian writer and philosopher known for his unorthodox spiritual journey and passionate engagement with existential and religious questions. His diverse literary career encompasses journalism, poetry, and fiction, which has cultivated a unique lens through which he approaches profound themes. This personal and intellectual background led him to grapple with the nature of divinity and humanity in "Life of Christ," reflecting his own struggles and insights gained from a culturally rich, yet tumultuous Italy. For readers seeking a penetrating exploration of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, Papini's "Life of Christ" is essential. It captivates not only those interested in religious studies but also those who appreciate literature that challenges the soul and provokes deep reflection. This work promises to inspire and enlighten, facilitating a richer understanding of faith and existence.

Ninth Building

Jingzhi Zou

Ninth Building is a fascinating collection of vignettes drawn from Zou Jingzhi's experience growing up during the Cultural Revolution, first as a boy in Beijing and then as a teenager exiled to the countryside. Zou poetically captures a side of the Cultural Revolution that is less talked about—the sheer tedium and waste of young life, as well as the gallows humor that accompanies such desperate situations. Jeremy Tiang's enthralling translation of this important work of fiction was awarded a PEN/Heim Grant.

Eyes on the Horizon - My Journey...

Balarama Holness

A former football champion’s engrossing personal story of spirituality and rebellion, and an inspiring call to action against systemic racism. 
The son of a Jamaican father and a Quebecois mother, Balarama Holness spent his earliest, most formative years on an ashram in West Virginia, learning the principles of equity and austerity, which would guide him through life. It wasn’t until he returned to Montreal at age ten with his mother and twin brother that he encountered virulent racism for the first time. Faced with a system that seemed stacked against him, Holness initially fell between the cracks. 
Eyes on the Horizon is Holness’s story of lifting himself up through the power of self-determination, spirituality and no small amount of rebellion to confront the systemic racism of his city and his country. He accomplished this first through football, going all the way to a Grey Cup championship, and later through activism and politics. 
Holness’s personal journey is connected to the social history of Canada, Quebec and the United States. Committed to reshaping society as we know it, he uses lessons from his own life to teach others about racism past and present, and to help people better understand how human beings should live and how to build a truly peaceful and just society for our children.

The Ancient World’s Most...

Editors Charles River

Although he is still one of history’s most famous philosophers, Confucius was in many respects an unremarkable man, and even his physical features were said to be unattractive. There is little evidence that he thought of himself as a harbinger of any kind, but shortly after his death, writings, sayings, and theories based on his life and ideas spread throughout China and even took hold of the imperial court of one of the most powerful and important dynasties, the Han (206 BCE-220 CE). It was during the Han Dynasty that Confucianism became closely tied to state affairs, and it would remain so until the fall of the last dynasty in 1912.  
	None of Socrates’ works survived antiquity, so most of what is known about him came from the writings of his followers, most notably Plato. What is known about Socrates is that he seemed to make a career out of philosophy, and Plato was intent on following in his footsteps. Yet for all of the influence of Socrates’ life on his followers, it was Socrates’ death around 399 B.C. that truly shaped them. Plato was so embittered by Socrates’ trial in Athens that he completely soured on Athenian democracy, and Aristotle would later criticize politicians who relied on rhetoric; when Aristotle’s own life was threatened, he fled Greece and allegedly remarked, “I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy." 
	Alongside Pericles, Cicero was one of antiquity’s greatest politicians, and he has remained one of the most influential statesmen in history, relied upon by the Romans of his day, political philosophers like John Locke, Enlightenment thinkers like Rousseau, and America’s Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson credited Cicero as an inspiration for the Declaration of Independence, and John Adams asserted, "As all the ages of the world have not produced a greater statesman and philosopher united than Cicero, his authority should have great weight.”
