Summary

In "Lessons in the Small Catechism of Dr. Martin Luther," the anthology presents a deep dive into the theological and pedagogical insights of one of Protestantism's foundational figures. The collection navigates the intricacies of Christian doctrine as distilled in Luther's Small Catechism, opening layers of interpretation through diverse literary styles ranging from exegetical commentary to poetic reflection. The anthology's remarkable divergence yet cohesive thematic focus draws readers into a broad yet unified exploration of faith, education, and devotion. Standout pieces challenge conventional readings, providing new insights without losing the reverence and authority Luther's work commands. The anthology's contributors, prominently featuring pieces by Martin Luther himself and George Mezger, offer a rich tapestry of interpretations that underscore the historical and cultural contexts of Reformation theology. The intersection of Luther's doctrinal clarity and Mezger's interpretative expansions reveal a dialogue that captures a pivotal moment in religious history. Collectively, the voices within this volume highlight the catechism's role in shaping Protestant educational and liturgical practices. Their contributions not only accentuate the ongoing relevance of Reformation thought but also invite theological inquiry and reflection. This collection serves as an invaluable resource for readers seeking a nuanced understanding of Lutheran doctrine and its theological heritage. It presents a multi-dimensional platform for engaging with the spiritual, educational, and interpretive traditions stemming from one of Christianity's pivotal epochs. Scholars, theologians, and readers interested in the crossroads of history and faith will find "Lessons in the Small Catechism of Dr. Martin Luther" an indispensable volume that deepens one's appreciation for the complexities and synergies within Lutheran catechetical instruction, fostering a vibrant dialogue across time and belief.

  • The Life of Charlotte Bronte (Hero Classics) - cover

    The Life of Charlotte Bronte...

    Part of the Hero Classics series 
    “As far as she could see, her life was ordained to be lonely, and she must her nature to her life, and, if possible, bring the two into harmony. When she could employ herself in fiction, all was comparatively well. The characters were her companions in the quiet hours, which she spent utterly alone, unable often to stir out of doors for many days together.” 
    When Charlotte Bronte’s father asked Gaskell to write his daughter’s biography, his main concern was to preserve the legacy of Charlotte and present an authorised take on her life as opposed to the speculations and gossip in the yellow papers. Gaskell and Charlotte had met on just a few occasions, so the biographer had to do profound research to actually delve into her mysterious life. From Charlotte’s own notes to various letters she had access to, Gaskell is seen mapping through a range of sources to find out the truth of her life. Right from the first pages of the text, we can distinctly spot Gaskell’s artistic infusions of metaphors and the poetic descriptions of the setting as well as doing justice with the life of Charlotte Bronte. This biography is all that is needed for Bronte’s readers as well as the admirers of inventive stylistic takes in non-fictional writing. 
    Upon its publication in 1857, The Life of Charlotte Bronte quite predictably caused controversy, so much so that the biographer was threatened with a legal action. Exciting exploration into Charlotte’s life and the criticism which followed, this makes it a must read for Bronte students and fans.

    Horace - A Very Short Introduction

    Horace was one of the greatest poets during the reign of Augustus and is seen as mark of cultural sophistication since this time. This Very Short Introduction examines how Horace's poetry has exerted enormous influence but argues that it is best understood within the traditions of ancient literature. 
     
     
     
    Llewellyn Morgan guides the listener through the dizzying vagaries of Horace's biography, which reflects the political and social instability of the period. His poetry, and the life he artfully constructs and presents to us in it, engages both with the greatest crisis that Rome had ever faced, and its resolution by the first Emperor. Horace is Rome's laureate, and through him we experience the anxieties and triumphs of his age. For posterity, Horace has served for a model of the good life, a promoter of enlightened retirement, but has also exemplified poetic artistry, and is the most creative manipulator of the Latin language, even among his remarkable contemporaries.

    ‘Coming Unstuck’ is a ‘faction’. Part memoir. Part discourse on why people get stuck. And why forming a band is not necessarily the best way to get unstuck. Based on true events, the book’s front-story follows a year in the life of a London band’s attempts to claw its way up the greasy pole of the music business. Its backstory involves a journey into the dark heart of stuckness, taking in genetic theory, memetics, the history of the Border Reivers, the Liverpool Police Strike, dodgy Lourdes miracles, a Nigerian Nose-Band, and the refurbishment of the boilers in the 
    Houses of Parliament.
     
    Take a front-stage seat as Cyrus, Brendan, Pete, Duff, Max, Flimsy and The Guv’nor overcome unscrupulous promoters, bogus A&R reps, death-wired amplifiers, catatonic audiences, and the music critic of the Borehamwood Times in pursuit of that elusive recording contract. Only to do a Devon Loch with the winning post in sight.
