Fear and Friendship Anglicans Engaging with Islam
Sarah Coakley and Frances Ward Offers a new depth of theological thinking in Anglican/Muslim engagement, founded in narratives of real encounters in parish and cathedral life in contemporary Britain. Many encounters between people of different religions are marked by an initial sense of incompetence, ignorance and fear – of getting it wrong, of causing offence, of ulterior motives. Such fears are here explored honestly, in stories of actual situations and relationships – often unexpected, sometimes funny, invariably profound. Friendship is presented as a public rather than merely a private phenomenon, enabling relations of trust and depth to develop and leading to the possibility of authentic talk and reciprocity of respect and courtesy.

Chimera’s Children Ethical, Philosophical and Religious Perspectives on Human-Nonhuman Experimentation
Edited by Calum MacKellar and David Albert Jones A comprehensive survey of the current context and ethical implications of human-nonhuman genetic combinations. In recent years, scientific advances have demonstrated the potential to make human-nonhuman combinations a reality, leading to pressing and perplexing ethical questions. This book offers clarification, analysis and a thorough overview which will act as a springboard for future debate. Including discussion from within world religions such as Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, it is the first work to draw together interreligious and other cultural and worldview perspectives on these neglected issues. Calum MacKellar is Director of Research with the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, Edinburgh, UK and Visiting Professor of Bioethics at St Mary’s University College, London, UK. David Albert Jones is Director of the Anscombe Bioethics Centre, Oxford, and Visiting Professor of Bioethics at St Mary's University College, London, UK.

Triple Jeopardy for the West Aggressive Secularism, Radical Islamism and Multiculturalism
Michael Nazir-Ali Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali gives his views on and solutions to the problems of aggressive secularism, radical Islamism and multiculturalism. Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali suggests that the task of the State should be more than simply balancing the competing interests of different groups, but that it must provide a moral vision for the common good, using the moral and spiritual legacy of Britain’s heritage as its foundations. Considering the areas of society, religion, science and politics, this book asserts that it would be foolish and premature to give up on the Christian foundations which may make the achievement of the equality, justice and freedom sought in our society possible. Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali holds Pakistani as well as British citizenship and was the first non-white diocesan bishop in the Church of England. He is the director of the Oxford Centre for Training, Research, Advocacy and Dialogue.

Why Rousseau Was Wrong Christianity and the Secular Soul
Frances Ward Why secular humanism immobilizes us – and how the Church can help. Tracing the impact of key Enlightenment philosophers on our increasingly secular society, Frances Ward outlines an alternative model of citizenship based on character and virtue, rather than on ‘identity’. Using extracts from Alexander McCall Smith’s Isabel Dalhousie series as a counterpoint, she shows how the Church can help to shape national corporate life by strengthening bonds of hospitality, friendship and trust. Frances Ward is Dean of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich and is an inter-faith specialist. She was formerly a Canon of Bradford Cathedral.

You Are The Messiah and I Should Know Why Leadership is a Myth (and probably a Heresy)
Justin Lewis-Anthony Is 'Leadership' a useful sociological tool in the increasing professionalisation of the Church's ministry and mission, or a dangerous threat, akin to a heresy? The Church believes itself to have a clear understanding of what constitutes Christian leadership, but advocates of leadership struggle to give a clear, concise and universally accepted definition of the term. This book shows how leadership is, at best, a 'contested concept' and at worst a dangerous, violent and totalitarian heresy. PRICE: £12.99 FORMAT: PAPERBACK ISBN: 9781441186188 EBOOK: 9781441122469

The New Asceticism Sexuality, Gender and the Quest for God
Sarah Coakley Cuts creatively across established ecclesiastical battle lines and draws both camps into a new and serious reflection on ascetical theology tout court. In an original thesis about the nature of desire, each chapter of The New Asceticism concentrates on a contentious issue in contemporary theology - the role of women in the churches, homosexuality and the priesthood, celibacy and the future of Christian asceticism. Sarah Coakley demonstrates how desire can be freed from associations with promiscuity and disorder, forging a new ascetical vision founded in the disciplines of prayer and attention. Sarah Coakley is Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge and an Honorary Canon of Ely Cathedral.

The Face of God The Gifford Lectures
Roger Scruton Atheist culture involves a turning away from God. Scruton shows how selfdestructive this is for us and our culture. The Face of God is a response to the atheist culture that is now growing around us, and also a defence of human uniqueness. Scruton rebuts the claim that there is no meaning or purpose in the natural world, and argues that the sacred and the transcendental are 'real presences', through which human beings come to know themselves and to find both their freedom and their redemption. Scruton explains the growing sense of destruction that we feel, as the habits of pleasure seeking and consumerism deface the world, offering a vision of the religious way of life in a time of trial. PRICE: £18.99 FORMAT: HARDBACK ISBN: 9781847065247
Roger Scruton is visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, Senior Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall Oxford and visiting Research Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of St Andrews.

God Save the Queen The Spiritual Heart of the Monarchy
Ian Bradley An exploration of the spiritual and religious heart of monarchy, from its sacred origins to its place in a multi-cultural and often unbelieving society. At a time of renewed interest in the monarchy the institution is analyzed and dissected from almost every point of view apart from the sacred – which arguably stands at its heart and is its ultimate raison d’être. This lack of attention is in marked contrast to the sacred origins of monarchy and the manifest importance of religious belief in the life of the present monarch. Ian Bradley traces the religious dimension of monarchy and argues for its importance as a spiritual force in British life, as well as exploring what this might mean in a society that is both multi-faith and increasingly secular.

In the Grip of Light The Dark and Bright Journey of Christian Contemplation
Paul Murray OP Increasingly the contemplative tradition in Christianity is being seen as essential to our understanding of Christianity itself. Here is the book to explain all. What is it like in practice to come close to the presence of God? Are there words which can, in some way, explain the nature of that experience? Paul Murray draws attention to both the wisdom and lived experience of those men and women who knew, at first hand, of the light and fire of which they spoke.

To the often bewildered hearts and minds of our generation, the writings of these remarkable men and women speak with a unique authority. Paul Murray OP is an Irish Dominican and a poet. He works in Rome, Italy, where he teaches the literature of the mystical tradition at the Angelicum University.

The Power of Silence The Riches That Lie Within
Graham Turner In the modern world, we are assaulted on all sides by noise; but silence can change your life and this book explains why and how. Graham Turner explores the world of silence and those who recognise its power as a creative and therapeutic tool and vastly underused resource.

This is a powerful book about a great gap in modern human awareness. Graham Turner became nationally recognized as the BBC’s first Economics Correspondent.

Inside the Christmas Story Reflections for Advent
Anthony and Melanie Bash Put 'Christ' back into Christmas with a fresh understanding of the Christmas story, based on daily Advent readings and meditations.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S LENT BOOK 2013
Abiding Ben Quash ‘All who keep my Father's commandments, abide in Him and He in them.’ ‘Abiding’ is key to the whole of John’s Gospel. It has the sense of full, personal, commitment. It conveys a quality of solidarity that waiting just cannot convey. It speaks of the centrality of order, consistency and continuity in the Christian tradition, of God’s commitment to us and ours to our communities. But with astonishing originality, Quash goes on to argue that to live Christianity at its deepest level is to live 'out of control'. How does one abide without any security? This is one of the great challenges of Jesus' teaching. Ben Quash is Professor of Christianity and the Arts at King's College London, UK.

Yet it is a key text for any student of English history. Rowan Williams shows in his introduction how Bede creates a sense of national destiny for the new English kingdoms of the seventh century, and how this has shaped English identity through the centuries. Understanding Bede is a key to understanding British society in the present as well as the past. Rowan Williams is Archbishop of Canterbury. He was formerly Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford and Archbishop of Wales. Sister Benedicta Ward is a member of the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God. She is Reader in the History of Christian Spirituality at the University of Oxford.

How to Read a Graveyard Travels in the Company of the Dead
Peter Stanford A taboo-breaking exploration of what graveyards and memorials to the dead can tell our secular, scientific and sceptical age about our eternal fate. If we want to know how previous generations dealt with death, graveyards (famous and not) tell us the history – if we are able to read them. From Neolithic mounds to internet memorials via medieval corpse roads and municipal cemeteries, war graves and holocaust memorials, Roman catacombs and eco-burials, Stanford shows us how to read a graveyard, what to look out for in our own, and how even the most initially unpromising exploration can enthral.

No Place Like Home Judah Passow A portrait in words and magnificent black and white photographs of the variety and vibrancy of the British Jewish community today. There is often a gap between how we see ourselves and how we really are. You might come to the glum conclusion that the Jewish Community in Britain is hostile to the outside world and driven by discord on the inside. Yet, as Judah Passow and Jonathan Freedland show, British-Jewish life hardly feels like that today. While once Jews whispered their identity, today they are much more out and proud. With an extraordinary level of artistry and human perception, Judah Passow’s photographs document the plurality and variety of a diverse community, while Jonathan Freedland’s text draws out the shared values that hold this community together. Judah Passow is an award winning photographer and has recently been accorded a World Press Photo Award. He is a frequent lecturer on photojournalism at English universities and his work has appeared in publications as diverse as Der Spiegel, the Sunday Times and the New York Times. Jonathan Freedland is an award winning journalist long associated with the Guardian. He is the author of several books and presents programs on Radio and Television.

The Many Not the Few The Stolen History of the Battle of Britain
Richard North An objective, if controversial, history of the Battle of Britain. Immortalised in Churchill's often quoted assertion that never before "was so much owed by so many to so few", the top-down narrative of the Battle of Britain has been firmly established in British legend. Richard North's radical re-evaluation of the Battle of Britain dismantles this mythical retelling of events. North takes a fresh look at the conflict as a whole to show that the civilian experience, far from being separate and distinct, was integral to the Battle. Richard North has co-authored four bestselling books with the Sunday Telegraph columnist Christopher Booker, including Scared To Death: From BSE To Global Warming, How Scares Are Costing Us The Earth (2007). He is the author of Ministry of Defeat (2009). PRICE: ÂŁ20.00 FORMAT: HARDBACK ISBN: 9781441131515 EBOOK: 9781441100566 PUB DATE: MARCH 03, 2012

Avoiding Armageddon From the Great War to the Fall of France, 1918-40
Jeremy Black Jeremy Black explores a key period of military history. This is an original and up-to-date account of a crucial period of military history, one that not only linked the two World Wars between the overcoming of trench warfare in the campaigns of 1918 and the fall of France in 1940, but also anticipated the more complex nature of conflict following the Cold War. Black locates the period in terms of long-term questions in military history, including the relationship between symmetrical and asymmetrical warfare, the tensions surrounding innovation, the pressures and possibilities created by technological change and the impact of ideology on the causes and conduct of war.

The War We Never Fought The British Establishment's Surrender to Drugs
Peter Hitchens Peter Hitchens demolishes the arguments for liberalising legislation on drugs and offers a brilliant critique of the cannabis lobby and its intellectual and moral shallowness. In this new book, Peter Hitchens shows that there has been no serious 'war on drugs' in Britain since 1971, when cannabis was given a special legal status as a supposedly 'soft' drug, effectively disarming the police. Hitchens uncovers the secret history of the government's true attitude, and the increasing recruitment of the police and courts to covert decriminalisation initiatives, and contrasts it with the rhetoric. PRICE: ÂŁ16.99 FORMAT: HARDBACK

He examines the benefits of integrating the continent in strictly economic terms and explains the tragic flaw in the original plan to do so. He argues that the present situation is unsustainable and proposes a return to the market economy and a more realistic cooperation between European states.

Its outstanding cast includes George III, Reynolds, Gainsborough, Hogarth, Burke and Chambers as well as many less well-known but equally interesting figures. Charles Saumarez Smith is former director of the National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery. He is currently Secretary of the Royal Academy.
