'It is not so much great faith that we need, but faith in a great God.' At the age of 21, Hudson Taylor ventured on a dangerous sea voyage to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of China, demonstrating this faith he talked of. Why would a young man give up a promising future to venture into an alien country, let alone one torn apart by war? Would the Chinese accept him and would God bless his vision? In the mid-nineteenth century there were few Christian missionaries in China, and not many more Chinese Christians. Hudson Taylor was so moved by the spiritual needs of the Chinese people that he obeyed God's call and dedicated his life to taking the Gospel to the Chinese, founding the China Inland Mission. His story comes alive in this dramatised biography that relays the humanity, humour, and heart of the man widely regarded as one of the most significant and influential missionaries in the history of the Christian Church. Hudson Taylor lived a life that boldly demonstrated faith in a great God, and his life still inspires and challenges many today.

Bhaviveka and His Buddhist Opponents
Malcolm David Eckel

Bhaviveka (ca. 500-560 CE) lived at a time of unusual creativity and ferment in the history of Indian Buddhist philosophy. The Mahayana movement was emerging as a vigorous and self-conscious intellectual force, while the earlier traditions of the eighteen 'schools' (nikaya) resisted the authority of the Mahayana and continued to elaborate the fundamental concepts of Buddhist thought. Bhaviveka's "Verses on the Heart of the Middle Way" ("Madhyamakahrdayakarika") with their commentary, known as "The Flame of Reason" ("Tarkajvala"), give a unique and authoritative account of the intellectual differences that stirred the Buddhist community in this creative period. "Bhaviveka and His Buddhist Opponents" gives a clear and accessible translation of Chapters 4 and 5 of this text: the chapters on the Sravakas, or eighteen schools, and the Yogacaras, Bhaviveka's most important Mahayana opponents. The translation is introduced by an essay that situates Bhaviveka in the intellectual context of sixth-century India, and it is accompanied by copious notes, commenting on Bhaviveka's sources and explaining his controversial method. The book also contains a critical edition of the Sanskrit text of Bhaviveka's verses and the Tibetan translation of the verses and commentary.
Malcolm David Eckel takes us on a contemporary quest to discover the essential meaning behind the Buddha's many representations. Eckel's bold thesis proposes that the proper understanding of Buddhist philosophy must be thoroughly religious--an understanding revealed in Eckel's new translation of the philospher Bhavaviveka's major work, The Flame of Reason. Eckel shows that the dimensions of early Indian Buddhism--popular art, conventional piety, and critical philosophy--all work together to express the same religious yearning for the fullness of emptiness that Buddha conveys.
She was the wife of an Emperor. She was the daughter of an Emperor. She had wealth and power beyond compare. Everything should have been easy for her. But she lived during the tumultuous final years of the Roman Empire when violence and upheaval threatened at every turn. The Shadows of Nemesis tells the epic tale of Licinia Eudocia. Based on the real-life, historic figure and actual events, it relates the story of her heroic struggle against tyrants, traitors, barbarians, and kings. A na ve girl of sixteen when she wed Emperor Valentinian III, Licinia found herself part of a dangerous family whose sinister motives endangered her husband and threatened his power. In her effort to save him, she became the target of a vengeful sister-in-law, a scheming mother-in-law, and the vilest servant the world has ever seen. Over the course of her seventeen years on the throne, she prevailed against a barbarian onslaught, stood up to a merciless usurper, and went toe-to-toe with Atilla the Hun. Hers is a remarkable story of trial and commitment, aided at every turn by a mysterious amulet whose power and meaning lie just beyond her reach. The Shadows of Nemesis is a saga of romance...violence...intrigue...betrayal...and the limitless possibilities of redemption.
This is an interspiritual commentary -- largely though not exclusively Buddhist-inspired -- on the life of Elijah as recounted in the Bible. It treats the externals of his life as metaphors for internal mind-states, his story as a labyrinth-like journey toward enlightenment, an unfolding realization of the non-duality of himself and God. Elijah begins with a henotheistic conception of God as a national deity connected to the land of Israel and progresses to a realization of God as the ground of being, being-itself, the God of those who struggle with God, which is the deeper meaning of the name Israel. While the inner dimension is emphasized, there is also a focus on the political dimension of the story, which liberation theologians call God’s preferential option for the poor, and here it is called the politics of anatta -- the core Buddhist principle of not-self.

The Dialogic Novels of Malcolm Bradbury and David Lodge
R.A. Morace
Southern Illinois University Press
1989
nidottu
Morace analyzes the novels of Malcolm Bradbury and David Lodge together because they provide a dialogue of conflicting views, styles, and forms of the contemporary novel. This dialogue parallels the views of these two British novelists as critics.Beginning as realists, as novelists of manners, as writers of campus novels, Bradbury and Lodge explore the possibilities and the limitations of realistic writing. Bradbury and Lodge, however, are not only heirs of English literary tradition. Both are also literary critics with a keen interest in recent critical theories. Morace shows us how the debate between Bradbury and Lodge over the nature and purpose of fiction and criticism has found its way into their novels. The realistic conflicts between civilian and military, English and American, pre- and post-Vatican II values gradually give way to an exploration of the semiotics behind such conflicts.Morace finds Bradbury's and Lodge's works far more open-ended than the doggedly indeterminate fictions of many contemporary writers. Using Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of dialogism, he identifies the ways in which language and values simultaneously compete with and support one another in their novels.This first book-length study of Bradbury or Lodge deals with all of their novels, including Changing Places, How Far Can You Go?, and Small World by Lodge, as well as Bradbury's The History of Man and Rates of Exchange.

In a squalid attic flat in the the freezing darkness of a Huddersfield winter, Malcolm Scrawdyke and his fellow Northern art students smoke and rehearse their revolutionary assault upon authority. According to Malcolm, the choice is simple: 'Freedom or serfdom'. The manifesto established, the 'Party of Dynamic Erection' begins its surreal offensive upon the eunuchs (dunces) who stand in the way of inevitable triumph. David Halliwell's classic play is set in the Sixties, an age given over to youth and rebellion.
