  Men and women have many wild fears that are very unlikely to ever come true except perhaps in a dream that lurches into a nightmare that seems so real that it must be real. 
   
  Perhaps being a fellow traveller in a coach or a train carriage and realising, whether in a sudden jolt or a slowly rising uneasy feeling of horror, that your fellow occupants might not actually be from this world, but more probably from the next, would be such a situation. 
   
  We delighted to now put you in such good company!  Indeed Amelia Edwards, E F Benson, Violet Hunt, Rudyard Kipling and the incisive talents of many others would definitely like you along for the ride.

  Five Views on the New Testament...

  What historical, political, and ecclesial realities drove the canonization of the New Testament? 
   
   
   
  How are the doctrines of Early Christianity related to the formation of the New Testament? 
   
   
   
  Should the New Testament differ in authority from other early Christian texts? 
   
   
   
  As these questions demonstrate, the enduring influence of the New Testament does not lessen the dispute over the events and factors leading to its adoption. Five Views on the New Testament Canon presents five distinct ways of understanding how the New Testament came to be. 
   
   
   
  Each contributor addresses historical, theological, and hermeneutical questions related to the New Testament canon, such as what factors precipitated the establishment and recognition of the New Testament canon; the basis of any authority the New Testament has; and what the canon means for reading and interpreting the New Testament. Contributors also include a chapter each responding to the other views presented in the volume. The result is a lively exchange suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students seeking to grasp the best canon scholarship in biblical studies.

  Boobs

  Breasts are celebrated and scrutinised, fetishised and censored, worshipped and weaponised. As the saying goes: ‘Behind every great woman is a pair of boobs trying desperately to stay out of the conversation.’ 
   
  For most of her life, unconcernedly flat-chested author and academic Dr Lisa Portolan had never really thought about her breasts, or boobs in general. But then she met Amanda Goff - aka former escort Samantha X - fellow author, journalist and owner of a huge pair of breasts. A friendship formed, then a working relationship ... and as the two women embarked on business dealings together, the monolithic power of mammary glands became glaringly apparent.  
   
  All too often, men would ogle Amanda's chest in meetings, text her romantic/perverse messages, and try to get into her pants. The same men would focus their attention on Lisa's face, send her professional emails, and otherwise ignore her. Lisa was left pondering whether she should have her breasts augmented in order to become more visible, while Amanda wondered whether she should have hers reduced.  
   
  But they both found themselves asking the same question: why all the fuss about boobs? 
   
  Lisa and Amanda don't pretend to have all the answers - they're not even sure how they feel about them most of the time. But that's precisely the point. Boobs is a smart, irreverent, wide-ranging and often hilarious conversation about the human and social-historical journey of breasts, richly illustrated with personal anecdotes and perspectives from coauthors at opposite ends of the bust spectrum.  
   
  With its eclectic mix of chest-related topics - from our fixation with symmetry to the judgy debates about breastfeeding - Boobs celebrates our messy, often ridiculous and always complex relationship with these culturally charged appendages.
