Synopsis

In "Our Sun God," John Denham Parsons embarks on a profound exploration of the Sun's significance across various cultures and epochs. The book intricately weaves mythological narratives and historical perspectives, employing a poetic and evocative literary style that invites readers into a contemplative journey. By juxtaposing ancient sun worship with modern scientific understanding, Parsons compels the audience to reconsider humanity's relationship with the Sun, illustrating its role both as a celestial entity and a divine archetype that has shaped civilizations. John Denham Parsons, a noted scholar in comparative mythology and cultural history, draws upon his extensive background in religious studies and anthropology to craft this enlightening narrative. His lifetime of research into sun deities and solar symbolism across cultures informs his thoughtful examination, lending depth and authenticity to his analyses. Parsons's personal experiences in diverse cultural settings inspired him to illuminate the common threads of sun veneration, motivating a deeper appreciation for this universal theme in human existence. Readers seeking to enrich their understanding of mythology, culture, and spirituality will find "Our Sun God" an indispensable addition to their libraries. Parsons's unique synthesis of history, mythology, and science not only entertains but also challenges us to reflect on our existential connections, making it a must-read for anyone intrigued by the interplay between nature and belief.

    The start of a new historical 4-part series from MJ Porter focusing on events around the great battle of Brunanburh 
    ** In the battle for power, there can be only one ruler.** 
    AD925 Athelstan is the king of the English, uniting the petty kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, the Danish-held Five Boroughs and York following the sudden death of his father, King Edward. 
    His vision is to unite the realms of the Scots and the Welsh in a peace accord that will protect their borders from the marauding threat of the Norse Vikings. 
    Whilst seemingly craving peace and demanding loyalty with an imperium over every kingdom, Athelstan could dream of a much bigger prize. 
    But danger and betrayal surround his best intentions, namely from his overlooked stepbrother, Edwin, who conspires and vies for what he deems is his rightful place as England's king. 
    As ever, powerful men who wish to rule do not wish to be ruled, and Constantin of the Scots, Owain of Strathclyde, and Ealdred of Bamburgh plot their revenge against the upstart English king, using any means necessary. 
    An epic story of kingsmanship that will set in motion the pivotal, bloody Battle of Brunanburh where allies have to be chosen wisely...  Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Matthew Harffy and Peter Gibbons

    A Prophet in the Darkness -...

    Many consider Georges Rouault (1871–1958) to be one of the most important religious painters of the last few centuries. Yet both the secular art world and the church have struggled to engage with his work, which is profoundly shaped by his Christian faith and also starkly explores the pain and darkness of human experience.
    In this volume, a group of theologians, artists, and historians seek to bring Rouault out of the shadows. They offer a deeper understanding of the theological impulse of modern art and of Rouault's distinct contributions. Chapters explore how Rouault's unique work was influenced by his historical context, by personal suffering, and by biblical themes, especially the Passion of Christ. Essays are interspersed with original artistic responses to Rouault in the form of images and poetry, with contributions from Sandra Bowden, William A. Dyrness, Thomas Hibbs, Soo Kang, and others.
    Rouault displays our need for mercy within a world of anguish. This book explores how his prophetic creativity continues to inspire artists and thinkers seeking to understand the powerful intersection of lament and hope.
    The Studies in Theology and the Arts  series encourages Christians to thoughtfully engage with the relationship between their faith and artistic expression, with contributions from both theologians and artists on a range of artistic media including visual art, music, poetry, literature, film, and more.
