	Book of Common Prayer: The Texts of 1549, 1559, and 1662 Brian Cummings, Editor "The Book of Common Prayer is one of the most extraordinary books in history. As well as a means to worship a creator, it is a way of coming to terms with pain, pleasure, and sorrow, forming one of the richest sources of social memory in the English language. " "This edition presents the Book of Common Prayer in three different states: Cranmer's first edition of 1549, which brought the Reformation into people's homes; The Elizabethan prayer book of 1559, familiar to Shakespeare and Milton; and the edition of 1662, which embodies the religious temper of the nation down to modern times. Far from being a book for the religious only, the Book of Common Prayer is one of the seminal texts of human experience and a manual of everyday ritual; a book to live, love and die to."

	Jerusalem, Jerusalem: How the Ancient City Ignited Our Modern World James Carroll Jerusalem is a Gordian knot. Author James Carroll's latest book, Jerusalem, Jerusalem unlocks for us the way in which the ancient city became a transcendent fantasy that continues to ignite religious fervor. Jerusalem has been a sacred place and a place of conflict for at least 3000 years. For centuries the European fixation on a heavenly Jerusalem has sparked both anti-semitism and apocalyptic mayhem into the Western mind. The conquest of the city in WWI relit the fuse for the war that still rages. The City on the Hill continues to shape our lives today. Reviewed by Cathy Hutcheson, volunteer.

	Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer: Experiencing the Presence of God and a Pilgrimage to the Hear of an Ancient Spirituality Norris J. Chumley For nearly two millennia, the holy men and women of Eastern Christianity have built lives of reflection, humility, and constant connection to God around a simple sentence, the Jesus Prayer. Now, Norris J. Chumley—a documentarian and professor—reveals the history, practices, and abiding wisdom of this mystical tradition to the rest of the world. Chumley traveled to some of the early Church’s holiest sites with the Very Reverend Dr. John A. McGuckin, a priest and professor—to St. Anthony’s Monastery in the Egyptian desert and St. Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai, to convents in Transylvania and to monasteries in Russia, the Ukraine, and Greece—in search of Christianity’s first mystical tradition and its modern-day practitioners. The monks and nuns he met taught him how to move through the stages of the Jesus Prayer, and how it can foster an unceasing, and everdeepening, conversation with God. Enriched with stunning color photographs of these holy sites, where photography is rarely allowed, Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer reveals the powerful theology packed into this prayer’s few words. - From the Publisher HarperOne Cover: Hardcover Dimensions: 9.25x6.25x.5 $24.99 Quantity:

	New History of Early Christianity Charles Freeman The relevance of Christianity is as hotly contested today as it has ever been. "A New History of Early Christianity" shows how our current debates are rooted in the many controversies surrounding the birth of the religion and the earliest attempts to resolve them. Charles Freeman's meticulous historical account of Christianity from its birth in Judaea in the first century A.D. to the emergence of Western and Eastern churches by A.D. 600 reveals that it was a distinctive, vibrant, and incredibly diverse movement brought into order at the cost of intellectual and spiritual vitality. Against the conventional narrative of the inevitable "triumph" of a single distinct Christianity, Freeman shows that there was a host of competing Christianities, many of which had as much claim to authenticity as those that eventually dominated. Looking with fresh eyes at the historical record, Freeman explores the ambiguities and contradictions that underlay Christian theology and the unavoidable compromises enforced in the name of doctrine. Tracing the astonishing transformation that the early Christian church underwent--from sporadic niches of Christian communities surviving in the wake of a horrific crucifixion to sanctioned alliance with the state--Charles Freeman shows how freedom of thought was curtailed by the development of the concept of faith. The imposition of "correct belief," religious uniformity, and an institutional framework that enforced orthodoxy were both consolidating and stifling. Uncovering the difficulties in establishing the Christian church, he examines its relationship with Judaism, Gnosticism, Greek philosophy and Greco-Roman society, and he offers dramatic new accounts of Paul, the resurrection, and the church fathers and emperors.

	The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem Marcus J. Borg & John Dominc Crossan Top Jesus scholars Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan join together to reveal a radical and little-known Jesus. As both authors reacted to and responded to questions about Mel Gibson's blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ," they discovered that many Christians are unclear on the details of events during the week leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Using the gospel of Mark as their guide, Borg and Crossan present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem. The first entry, that of Roman governor Pontius Pilate leading Roman soldiers into the city, symbolized military strength. The second heralded a new kind of moral hero who was praised by the people as he rode in on a humble donkey. The Jesus introduced by Borg and Crossan is this new moral hero, a more dangerous Jesus than the one enshrined in the church's traditional teachings. "The Last Week" depicts Jesus giving up his life to protest power without justice and to condemn the rich who lack concern for the poor. In this vein, at the end of the week Jesus marches up Calvary, offering himself as a model for others to do the same when they are confronted by similar issues. Informed, challenged, and inspired, we not only meet the historical Jesus, but meet a new Jesus who engages us and invites us to follow him.
