Sinossi

Swan Legends explores the rich symbolism of swans throughout history, religion, and literature. More than just elegant birds, swans represent transformation, purity, and liminality across diverse cultures. The book reveals that swans have been potent symbols in mythology, from the tale of Leda and the Swan to Celtic swan maidens, reflecting humanity's evolving understanding of life, death, and spirituality.

 
The book examines the historical context of swan veneration from ancient civilizations to medieval folklore and analyzes the swan as a literary motif, noting how authors use the swan to evoke themes of love, loss, and beauty. It also scrutinizes the swan’s representation across different faiths, correlating it with grace and spiritual ascension. By integrating perspectives from history, literature, and religious studies, Swan Legends provides a comprehensive analysis of the swan's symbolic power.

 
The book unfolds in three major movements, first exploring the appearance of swans in mythology, then examining them as a literary device, and finally delving into their religious symbolism. The concluding section explores the implications of these symbols, how they inform contemporary culture, and how they are employed in modern art.

    In a world of enduring winter, You Only Live Twice is a hope-filled signpost for spring’s birth—a collection of forty-nine Easter-Advent poems. They are calls to courage in the lingering cold, knowing in hope like the early-blooming crocus, that spring came before, and it will come again. This anthology declares the truth that two millennia ago, a Man died on a mission of grace for the sinner then rose again on Easter; thus Jesus lived twice. On a future day when He returns as the resurrection and the life, so shall His children live again. 
    They’re poems of winter and spring, of hope and courage, of a Kingdom to come that’s certain and bright. 
    For the soul banking its future on that Messiah King, these are a poetic invitation to embrace the truth of Easter—that there is a forever life of far more value than these current, uncertain days. In Jesus, we’ll get to live it. 
    For the follower of Jesus, Good Friday yielded Easter. Winter always yields spring. And death will yield life. So, like the deep-red growth of spring roses on brittle, dead branches, dare to believe your resurrected King. 
    Because of Jesus’ victory on Easter, one can live twice.

    Too often, fatness has been viewed as a moral failing. Fat Christian women in particular are shamed and marginalized by the message that they are failing God because they can't change their bodies. More of You will challenge that status quo, teaching listeners to resist the shame and guilt that is pressed onto them by the world and instead to embrace their bodies, take up space, and learn to navigate the world in ways that allow them to flourish. 
     
     
     
    With wit and candor, Amanda Martinez Beck, a fat woman herself, compiles her hard-won wisdom to give the skinny on thriving in a fat body to others who have been pushed to the margins of acceptance. Offering helpful tools like The Fat Girl's Bill of Rights and a script for a weight-neutral doctor's visit, this book addresses real needs in the fat acceptance community, from how to find self-love in a thin-obsessed world, to navigating a world built for butts smaller than yours, to advocating for equality and justice for fat women's medical care.

    This brief but comprehensive introduction to Christian worldview helps readers understand the Christian faith as the substance of Spirit-filled living and as a knowledge tradition stemming from the global Pentecostal movement. 
     
    Using beauty, truth, and goodness as organizing principles, the authors delineate a Christian worldview by tracing each category historically, comparing and contrasting each with alternative Christian expressions, and constructing fresh takes on each as read through the lived Pentecostal experience. Unlike other worldview books, the authors' approach emphasizes beauty (relating to experience) rather than truth (involving knowledge acquisition); that difference in emphasis flows naturally from the Pentecostal perspective, which has traditionally centered the experience of the Spirit. 
     
    Pentecostal Christians will find this volume indispensable for thinking lucidly about their worldview from a renewal perspective.

    Varieties of Christian...

    Christian universalism has become a subject of fierce debate in recent years. Numerous works have been published on the topic, and it can be difficult for readers to recognize the breadth of possible approaches. While universal salvation is often boiled down to (and dismissed as) a single idea--that God saves all people--this oversimplification masks the variety of theologies that reach this conclusion in ways that are not always compatible. Christian universalism is actually an umbrella of different theological interpretations of the idea that all people will be saved. 
     
    In this book, leading experts on universal salvation--David W. Congdon, Tom Greggs, Morwenna Ludlow, and Robin A. Parry--provide a concise guide to four distinct approaches: patristic, evangelical, post-Barthian, and existential. The contributors, who have each written extensively on Christian universalism, highlight distinct approaches that emphasize different theological values. The book will be useful as a textbook for students of theology, especially those training for ministry, and as a resource for anyone seeking a more well-rounded understanding of Christian universalism.
