Description: |
Historian Peter Brown recounts his life and work, describing his efforts to recapture the spirit of late antiquity. As he and other scholars opened up the history of the classical world in its last centuries to the wider world of Eurasia and northern Africa, they discovered previously overlooked areas of religious and cultural creativity as well as foundational institution-building.
Documenting both his own intellectual development and the emergence of a new and influential field of study, Brown describes his childhood and education in Ireland, his university and academic training in England, and his extensive travels, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.
He discusses fruitful interactions with the work of scholars and colleagues that include the British anthropologist Mary Douglas and the French theorist Michel Foucault, and offers fascinating snapshots of such far-flung places as colonial Sudan, midcentury Oxford, and prerevolutionary Iran.
With Journeys of the Mind, Brown offers an essential account of the "grand endeavor" to reimagine a decisive historical moment. |

PAPERBACK |
Price: |
AU$39.95 |
Description: |
Catholic theologian Ann M. Garrido examines power not as a manipulative force but as Jesus understood it.
In Redeeming Power, Garrido helps to develop a spirituality of power by considering the skills and personal qualities that will enable a healthy and holy use of power in one who leads. She explores key passages from the creation stories of Genesis where we find the roots of how Jesus understood power.
Joining these biblical lessons to her personal experience, and with help from nearly forty interviews of leaders in nonprofit organizations, business, and the Church, Garrido offers insight and guidance into many of the challenges contemporary leaders face. |

JOHN BARTON |

Publisher: |
Penguin Books |
Binding: |
PAPERBACK |
Price: |
AU$26.99 |
Description: |
This book examines how saints, scholars and interpreters from antiquity to the present have negotiated the difficult task of producing usable versions of the Bible in their own language while remaining faithful to the original.
Barton shows how the passage of meaning and ideas across linguistic borders has been far from straightforward, and draws out the place of this at critical junctures in the history of religion, from the separation of Christianity and Judaism to the Reformation and beyond. |

Wabi Sabi is the Japanese Zen philosophy that all things are imperfect, unfinished and impermanent. It is a fresh way of seeing and moving through the world when our lives, literally and figuratively, feel cluttered.
This book shows us how to apply this concept in the context of daily life and offers ideas on how to see it, embrace it and incorporate it into everyday thoughts, objects and situations.
Simple challenges and exercises encourage you to get creative, such as a Wabi Sabi diary, a haiku exercise and a "make art" challenge, plus some tips on minimizing and decluttering (mentally and physically) for a simpler life. It allows you to mindfully make space in your head, home and with your time. |
