Synopsis

In "Time and Free Will," Henri Bergson presents a groundbreaking exploration of the concept of time and its implications for human freedom. Written during the early 20th century, this philosophical text challenges the conventional, mechanistic understanding of time as a mere quantitative measure, instead positing that time is qualitative and experienced subjectively. Bergson employs a lyrical and nuanced style, intertwining insights from philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics to articulate his notion of "duration," which emphasizes the fluidity and richness of lived experience over the static, fragmented time of clocks. This work not only critiques determinism but invites readers to consider how free will can coexist with the continuity of time. Henri Bergson, a prominent French philosopher and Nobel laureate, emerged in a period marked by rapid scientific progress and a growing interest in existential questions. His background in mathematics and his keen interest in the intuitive understanding of reality informed his philosophical inquiries. "Time and Free Will" reflects his belief that human consciousness must be understood through introspection and lived experience, pushing against the boundaries set by positivism. This seminal work is essential for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or the nature of consciousness. Bergson's profound insights challenge our perceptions of time and freedom, making this book a compelling read for scholars and general readers alike keen to explore the depths of human experience.

    “Brilliant . . . Essential reading for anyone who cares about Church history and gender equality. . . . speaks to our times with impressive relevance.” —Reading in Translation 
 
From one of Italy’s most renowned historians of religion, an exciting new portrait of one of Christianity’s most complex—and most misunderstood—figures: Mary Magdalene 
 
Jesus’ favorite and most devoted disciple? A prostitute shunned from her community? A symbol of female leadership and independence? Who really was Mary Magdalene, and how does her story fit within the history of Christianity, and that of female emancipation? 
 
In this meticulously researched, highly engaging book, Adriana Valerio looks at history, art, and literature to show how centuries of misinterpretation and willful distortion—aimed at establishing and preserving gender hierarchies—have stripped this historical figure of her complexity and relevance. 
 
By revealing both the benign and the pernicious misrepresentations of Mary Magdalene, this thought-provoking essay reaffirms the central role played by women in the origins of Christianity and their essential contribution to one of the founding experiences of Western thought and society. 
 
“Persuasive. . . . Academics working in Christianity should get much from this well-argued study.” —Publishers Weekly 
 
“A masterful work.” —Osservatore Romano 
 
“A short and readable yet sweeping and well-researched essay that stands out for its intellectual honesty [ . . . ] We are all Mary Magdalene.” —Cultura al femminile

    The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens. 
 
 
 
Traditional interpretations of the creatures of the Bible have sanded down their sharp, unsavory edges, transforming them into celestial beings of glory and light—or chubby, happy cherubs. Those cherubs? They're actually hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies. And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out God's vengeance. Demons aren't at war with angels; they're a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters aren't God's opponents—they're God's entourage. 
 
 
 
Killer angels, plague demons, manipulative spirits, creatures with an alarming number of wings (and eyes all over)—these shapeshifters and realm-crossers act with stunning brutality, each reflecting a facet of God's own monstrosity. Confronting God's monsters—and the God-monster—may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, God's Monsters is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible.
