A Study of the "Autonomous" Episcopate
GTIN: 9781998492824 Christianity
In 1987, offered here for the first time in English, Fr. Louis-Marie de Blignières, presents a sustained theological study taking seriously the teachings of papal encyclicals, the writings of the Church Fathers, the doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas, and numerous works by theologians, and applies them to the question of an "autonomous" episcopate: i.e., bishops instituted without any mandate from the Church and with the intention of forming an entity functionally self-sufficient and independent from the Church hierarchy founded by Christ (thus rendering, intentionally or not, the quest for unity unnecessary).In a characteristically Thomistic manner, Fr. de Blignières brings perennial principles to bear on a modern ecclesial problem. These "autonomous" bishops are not part of the governance [hierarchy] of the Church. The central question thus becomes whether there can be bishops who possess a merely material apostolicity while lacking a formal apostolic mission (see Part II). The author also asks whether the crisis in the Church-which he readily acknowledges-can justify the emergence of such an episcopate. His study gives a clear and rigorous answer.The accompanying essay from 2022, included here as Part I, was chosen in order to present the reasoning of those who could not in conscience support Archbishop Lefebvre's episcopal consecrations of 1988 without papal mandate. It provides an important contextual framework for understanding the intellectual and ecclesial climate surrounding that unprecedented event, the repercussions of which continue into 2026.It is our hope that this study will be read with serenity and objectivity and that it will foster honest debate and serious reflection on a question of great importance for all those concerned with the crisis in the Church and with the preservation of all that the Church holds dear.

Vikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: Lata and her mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehra, are both trying to find -- through love or through exacting maternal appraisal -- a suitable boy for Lata to marry. Set in the early 1950s, in an India newly independent and struggling through a time of crisis, "A Suitable Boy" takes us into the richly imagined world of four large extended families and spins a compulsively readable tale of their lives and loves. A sweeping panoramic portrait of a complex, multiethnic society in flux, "A Suitable Boy" remains the story of ordinary people caught up in a web of love and ambition, humor and sadness, prejudice and reconciliation, the most delicate social etiquette and the most appalling violence.

A Sumerian Chrestomathy by Konrad Volk has been written for beginners studying Sumerian within the academic curriculum. The volume contains 44 texts of varying contents: royal inscriptions, legal, and economic documents dating from the Early Dynastic (ca. 2500 B.C.) to the Old Babylonian Period (ca. 1750 B.C.) when Sumerian was no longer a spoken language. Some of the autographed texts are accompanied by a version in Neo-Assyrian script so that the student can learn the Neo-Assyrian sign forms which are of fundamental importance for the use of the sign list in this book and, in general, for most Assyriological sign lists. §Each inscription can be studied with the help of the sign list, which is intentionally limited to the signs that occur in this book. Reference is given to the most recent works in the field by R. Borger and C. Mittermayer. Also included are individual and detailed glossaries: General Vocabulary; Divine Names; Personal Names; Place Names; Sacred Buildings; Year Dates; Year Names; Festivals. These glossaries not only quote the lexical items found in the inscriptions but also give the Akkadian equivalents for Sumerian words and refer wherever necessary to the most recent Sumerological literature.

A Surgeon in Napoleon's Grande Armée: The Campaign Journal of Baron Percy
GTIN: 9781399044257 Specific wars & campaigns
Pierre-François Percy was Surgeon-in-Chief of Napoleon’s Grande Armée. This is the first English translation of Baron Percy’s notebooks, containing his interesting, revealing, and informative testimony of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic campaigns in which he played an active role, as the most senior surgeon in the French Army, from 1799-1807.In his journal, Percy writes intimately about his life on campaign. He recounts his experiences across Europe, particularly in Switzerland (Helvetia), Germany, and Poland. The journal shows Percy’s delight at seeing his surgeons recognised for their work at Eylau, and his notes express his shock at the brazen corruption of military officials and the indiscriminate pillaging to which the French army frequently resorted. He recounts his audiences with Napoleon, during which his pleas for more resources and a more professional military surgical corps frequently fell on deaf ears. Details that may have seemed trivial to Percy’s contemporaries – about food, accommodation, dress, and transport – now offer a vital insight into the persistent struggles, and occasional pleasures, of those who followed Napoleon on his quest to conquer Europe.Percy documents his experiences of some of the major battles of the period; namely, Jena, Eylau, and Friedland. As a surgeon, he witnessed the enormous scale of devastation wrought by these significant battles, so often glorified in the historiography as tactical successes. His descriptions are meticulous and personal; injuries are described scientifically, their stark details offering a vivid and horrifying picture of the aftermath of the fighting.Percy’s singular position – living with the soldiers and sharing in their poor conditions, while also being aware of the administrative decisions that governed (and often negatively impacted) their lives – makes for an account that is simultaneously fascinating for the general reader and invaluable for scholars of military and surgical history.

A Systematic Theology of the Early Church
GTIN: 9781969070228 Christianity
In A Systematic Theology of the Early Church, Dustin R. Smith offers a groundbreaking exploration of the foundational beliefs that defined first-century Christianity, rooted solely in the Old and New Testaments. Unlike traditional systematic theologies that blend scripture with post-biblical ecumenical creeds and denominational confessions, this work focuses exclusively on the authentic doctrines of the Early Church. With precision and clarity, Smith examines eight core theological pillars-theology, anthropology, hamartiology, christology, pneumatology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology-revealing the Early Church's vibrant understanding of the only true God, humanity, sin, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, salvation, the church, and the kingdom of God. Written to be accessible to a wide range of readers and believers, this volume offers the opportunity to rediscover the beliefs of the early Christians, inspiring a biblically grounded spirituality marked by faithfulness to Jesus Christ and his apostles.Dustin R. Smith, Ph.D, is a New Testament scholar at Spartanburg Methodist College. He is the author or editor of nine books, including Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John, The Son of God: Three Views of the Identity of Jesus, and Paradoxical Conquering in the Apocalypse of John. He has served on the editorial boards of A Journal from the Radical Reformation and the Journal of Biblical Unitarianism. Dustin Smith is the weekly host of The Biblical Unitarian Podcast.
