Summary

Hippolyte Taine's "The French Revolution" is a profound and meticulous analysis of one of history's most significant upheavals, intricately examining the socio-cultural and political factors that fueled this tumultuous period. Written in a clear yet erudite style, Taine employs a narrative that blends empirical observation with philosophical inquiry, capturing the complexity of revolutionary fervor and its pervasive impact on French society. The three-volume work serves not only as a historical recounting but also as a critique of the ideological underpinnings of the revolution, embodying the intellectual currents of the 19th century that sought to understand historical movements through a lens of determinism and empiricism. Taine, a prominent figure in the development of 19th-century historiography, imbibed influences from French positivism and the prevailing currents of elitism in political thought. His extensive education and experience in various academic fields, including philosophy and literature, provided him with a multifaceted perspective that he deftly applied to the examination of the French Revolution. His intent was not merely to narrate events but to delve into the psychological and social motivations driving the revolutionaries, reflecting his belief in the interconnectedness of culture and history. Readers seeking a deep and nuanced understanding of the French Revolution will find Taine's work indispensable. With its rich insights and scholarly rigor, "The French Revolution" offers valuable lessons on the complexities of human society and the often tumultuous path toward political change, making it a timeless study for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the forces that shape our world.

How would we treat Paddington Bear if he came to the UK today? Perhaps he would be a casualty of extortionate visa application fees; perhaps he would experience a cruel term of imprisonment in a detention centre; or perhaps his entire identity would be torn apart at the hands of a hostile environment that delights in the humiliation of its victims.
Britain thinks of itself as a welcoming country, but the reality is very different. This is a system in which people born in Britain are told in uncompromising terms that they are not British, in which those who have lived their entire lives on these shores are threatened with deportation, and in which falling in love with anyone other than a British national can result in families being ripped apart.
Now fully updated to include the Nationality and Borders Bill, in this vital and alarming book, campaigner and immigration barrister Colin Yeo tackles the subject with dexterity and rigour, offering a roadmap of where we should go from here as he exposes the injustice of an immigration system that is unforgiving, unfeeling and, ultimately, failing.

    A Natural Law Framework for Evangelicals Today
During a time when political conversations are marked by deep polarization and difficult decision-making, what resources do evangelicals have to think critically and theologically about public life?
For political theorists Bryan T. McGraw, Jesse Covington, and Micah Watson, a crucial resource is to be found in natural law, a rich tradition of Christian political thought often neglected by evangelicals. Grounded in the hope and realism of the gospel, their evangelical natural law theory is deep in moral conviction yet oriented toward practical political decision-making. Relevant to all dimensions of political life, they show how an evangelical natural law framework can speak into debates about the economy, family life and marriage, violence and war, and religious freedom.
Hopeful Realism is a generous guide for evangelicals concerned with bringing their theological commitments to bear on their political judgments. A volume that brings together robust theory with practical cases, Covington, McGraw, and Watson show how evangelicals can participate as evangelicals in a pluralistic, often polarized, democracy.

    [I]t was not the genesis of the universe that is imaged in astronomical mythology. The firmament was there; already waiting to be distinguished as upper and lower, and divided into the domains of night and day, or Sut and Horus, or Ansar and Kisar. The constellations were not created from nothing when they were figured out of stars. The firmamental water was not created by being divided into upper and lower. The earth was not created because distinguished from water as ground to go upon…. Heaven and earth existed when these were nameless, and did not come into existence on account of being named. –from “Egyptian Wisdom and the Hebrew Genesis” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 7 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how Egyptian wisdom–which greatly concerns itself with matters of the womb and birth, water, and the offspring of gods–was appropriated by the Hebrew holy books, and explains how the Hebrew account of creation is a clear repetition of Egyptian mythology. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
