Sleeman, Matthew, 1968-
Geography and the Ascension narrative in Acts / Matthew Sleeman.
Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2009.
The book of Acts contains a strong geographical component, yet readings of Acts typically ignore or marginalise geography’s contribution to the construction of the narrative’s theology. Sleeman argues that Jesus’ ascension into heaven is foundational for establishing the ’spatiality’ of Acts, showing that the narrative’s understanding of place and space is shaped decisively by Christ’s heavenly location. Drawing on recent advances in geographical theory, Sleeman offers a ’spatial’ interpretation that expands our vision of how space and place inform the theological impulses of Acts. Presenting a complement to conventional ’temporal’ readings of Acts, he sheds new light on the theology of the book, and suggests new ways of reading not only Acts but also other New Testament texts. Sleeman’s work combines innovative biblical scholarship with accessible and informative geographical analysis, and is suitable for those with research and teaching interests in human geography or biblical studies.

Main Author: Ginther, James R.
The Westminster handbook to medieval theology / James R. Ginther.
Louisville, KY : Westminster John Knox Press, c2009.
The theologians and major thinkers of the medieval period developed their thought in complicated ways, giving rise to the term 'scholasticism', which was the method of learning associated with the great schools of the period. Theology was the centre of thought, and finding one’s way through the many and complex theological ideas introduced during this era can be very difficult. This accessible reference work clarifies these ideas and provides an extensive guide to the main theological features of medieval theology. Ginther provides clear and compelling discussions of major Christian thinkers, sociocultural developments, and key terms and concepts related to the period. Students and scholars will find this an eminently useful resource for the study of medieval theology.

Wills, Garry, 1934-
Augustine’s Confessions : a biography / Garry Wills.
Princeton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, c2011.
This treatise tells the story of the Confessions - what motivated Augustine to dictate it, how it asks to be read, and the many ways it has been misread in the one-and-a-half millennia since it was composed. Following Wills’ biography of Augustine and his translation of the Confessions, this is an unparalleled introduction to one of the most important books in the Christian and Western traditions. Understandably fascinated by the story of Augustine’s life, modern readers have largely succumbed to the temptation to read the Confessions as autobiography. But, Wills argues, this is a mistake.
242 A924.W

Calhoun, Adele Ahlberg, 1949-
Spiritual disciplines handbook : practices that transform us / Adele Ahlberg Calhoun.
Downers Grove, Ill. : InterVarsity Press, c2005.
Calhoun gives us directions for our journey toward intimacy with Christ. While the word 'discipline' may make us want to run and hide, the author shows how desires and discipline work together to lead us to the transformation we’re longing for - the transformation only Christ can bring. Instead of just giving information about spiritual disciplines, this handbook is full of practical, accessible guidance.

Basil, Saint, Bishop of Caesarea, ca. 329-379.
Against Eunomius / St. Basil of Caesarea ; translated by Mark DelCogliano and Andrew Radde-Gallwitz.
Washington, D.C. : Catholic University of America Press, c2011.
Basil attempts to articulate a theology both of God’s unitary essence and of the distinctive features that characterize the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - a distinction that some hail as the cornerstone of "Cappadocian" theology. We see the clash not simply of two dogmatic positions on the doctrine of the Trinity, but of two fundamentally opposed theological methods. Basil’s treatise is as much about how theology ought to be done and what human beings can and cannot know about God as it is about the exposition of Trinitarian doctrine. Thus it marks a turning point in the Trinitarian debates of the fourth century, for the first time addressing the methodological and epistemological differences that gave rise to theological differences. Amidst the polemical vitriol of Against Eunomius is a call to epistemological humility on the part of the theologian, a call to recognize the limitations of even the best theology.

The Australian book of atheism / edited by Warren Bonett.
Carlton North, Vic. : Scribe, 2010.
Does the Anzac ethos have roots in atheism? Does prayer have a place in Parliament? Should ’creation science’ be taught in Australian schools? Is atheism maligned in political debate? Will Australia’s future be godless? While prominent international thinkers have made significant contributions to the general conversation on belief and religion, Australians have been less heard. This is the first collection to explore atheism from an Australian viewpoint. Bringing together essays from 33 of the nation’s pre-eminent atheist, rationalist, humanist, and sceptical thinkers, it canvasses a range of opinions on religion and secularism in Australia. Including contributions from Michael Bachelard, Dr Leslie Cannold, Robyn Williams, Lyn Allison, Tim Minchin, and Dr Philip Nitschke, this is a diverse and entertaining collection of thoughts on a world without God.

It is for these people that renowned bishop and author Spong presents a book designed to take readers into the contemporary academic debate about the Bible.

The essayists here answer "yes" and "yes," offering provocative perspectives on James, the Johannine epistles, the Petrine epistles, and Jude.

Imagining home : migrants and the search for a new belonging / edited by Diana Glenn, Eric Bouvet and Sonia Floriani.
Kent Town, S.Aust. : Wakefield Press, 2011.
The peer-reviewed essays presented in this interdisciplinary volume explore the many facets of migration and the consequences of displacement on the lives of those individuals who undertake the experience. The volume analyses how migrants both experience and express the complex nature of migration, and how this significant event affects and transforms individual lives and communities. In discussing the migratory experience, the authors explore historical and contemporary, overseas and transnational, ’forced’ and ’voluntary’ migrations. They also utilise multiple sources, including historical and archival research, oral testimony, literature, film, radio, sites of memory, material culture and the analysis of discourse narratives. The title of the volume reflects the many ways that the notions of ’home’ and ’belonging’ can question and redefine each other.

Edwards, John, 1949-
Mary I : England’s Catholic queen / John Edwards.
New Haven, Conn. : Yale University Press, 2011.
The life story of Mary I - daughter of Henry VIII and his Spanish wife, Catherine of Aragon - is often distilled to a few dramatic episodes: her victory over the attempted coup by Lady Jane Grey, the imprisonment of her half-sister Elizabeth, the bloody burning of Protestants, her short marriage to Philip of Spain. This original and deeply researched biography paints a far more detailed portrait of Mary and offers a fresh understanding of her religious faith and policies as well as her historical significance in England and beyond.
