A sweeping journey through more than two millennia of faith, politics, and culture, this book reveals how the world's most influential book has evolved, been contested, and transformed across continents and generations. Bruce Gordon brings scholarly rigour and narrative clarity to tracing the Bible's rise from ancient codices to its role in shaping empires, protest movements, and the lives of ordinary people.
This is not a static relic, but a living text whose meanings continually shift in new communities and new eras. From desert monasteries and Byzantine cathedrals to Chinese house churches and Latin American villages, Gordon shows us the Bible in motion, a force that has offered solace, provoked conflict, empowered oppressed voices, and stirred new visions of justice.
Accessible yet deep, this book invites both the curious and the learned to rediscover the Bible not merely as scripture, but as a global cultural phenomenon with an ongoing story.

Description:
The story of Adam and Eve's fall from innocence in the Garden of Eden is a mythical account of humanity's broken relationship with the divine, with Earth, and with themselves.
In contrast, Celtic wisdom is built on a strong bond with Earth. In the prophetic figures that Newell draws from, the Garden of Eden represents the inner garden of our souls and the outer garden of Earth, which are seen as essentially one. To live in relation to what is deepest in us is to live in relation to the ground from which we and all things have come.
This life-affirming, nourishing book contemplates a new sense of home spiritually, deeply rooted within ourselves and in our shared journey with each other and Earth.

East Timor, Rene Girard and Neocolonial Violence: Scapegoating as Australian Policy

Description:
In this provocative re-examination of Australia's relationship with its near neighbour, Susan Connelly applies Rene Girard's mimetic theory to reveal how the people of East Timor became scapegoats of Australian foreign policy. Charting the tumultuous twentieth-century history, from the Indonesian invasion through occupation and the struggle for independence, she argues that Australia's geopolitical dependence and fears perpetuated structural violence against the Timorese people.
Connelly does not merely indict; she also traces possibilities of recognition, conversion, and reconciliation. In doing so, she challenges Australia's self-image as a just and egalitarian nation, asking readers to confront the hidden patterns of scapegoating within national identity.
East Timor, Rene Girard and Neocolonial Violence offers both a historical account and a moral wake-up call, essential reading for scholars of post-colonialism, political theology, and transitional justice.
