Christianity Today Book Award winner Our world is broken and cries out for reconciliation. But mere conflict resolution and peacemaking are not enough. What makes real reconciliation possible? How is it that some people are able to forgive the most horrendous of evils? And what role does God play in these stories? Does reconciliation make any sense apart from the biblical story of redemption? Secular models of peacemaking are insufficient. And the church has not always fulfilled its call to be agents of reconciliation in the world. In Reconciling All Things Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice, codirectors of the Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School, cast a comprehensive vision for reconciliation that is biblical, transformative, holistic and global. They draw on the resources of the Christian story, including their own individual experiences in Uganda and Mississippi, to bring solid, theological reflection to bear on the work of reconciling individuals, groups and societies. They recover distinctively Christian practices that will help the church be both a sign and an agent of God's reconciling love in the fragmented world of the twenty-first century. This powerful, concise book lays the philosophical foundations for reconciliation and explores what it means to pursue hope in areas of brokenness in theory and practice.

Anglické vydání Hamleta. Hamlet je slavná tragédie pojednávající o jednom dánském královském rodu. Hamletovi zemře otec, král dánský, a hned záhy si jeho ovdovělá žena (vystupující jako Královna) vezme za muže králova bratra, Claudia (vystupující zde jako Král). Zde začíná náš příběh, a sice asi dva měsíce poté, co král zemřel. Horacio, jeden z nejvěrnějších služebníků, je přivolán stráží na cimbuří, protože viděli ducha, který vypadal úplně stejně jako bývalý král. Přizvou tedy i Hamleta, který si s otcem povídá a zjistí, že Claudius jej ve spánku zabil tím, že mu nakapal jed do ucha. Hamlet slíbí, že otcovu smrt pomstí... Hra poukazuje, že touha po moci se nezastaví před ničím. Ušlechtilí zabíjejí, poddaní se poklonkují a čest či ctnost jsou výsadami hrdinů.

Tryant, blackmailer, racketeer, murder, his influence reaches every level of American society. Meet Don Corleone, a friendly man, a just man, a reasonable man. The deadliest lord of the Cosa Nostra.

It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking more than a quarter-century after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder and family values is a true classic.

Hailed by Henry James as "the finest piece of imaginative writing yet put forth in the country," Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter reaches to our nation's historical and moral roots for the material of great tragedy. Set in an early New England colony, the novel shows the terrible impact a single, passionate act has on the lives of three members of the community: the defiant Hester Prynne; the fiery, tortured Reverend Dimmesdale; and the obsessed, vengeful Chillingworth. With The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne became the first American novelist to forge from our Puritan heritage a universal classic, a masterful exploration of humanity's unending struggle with sin, guilt and pride.
