John Henry Newman is one of the most significant and enigmatic figures of the nineteenth century, renowned for his original mind, the beauty of his writing, and for his profound influence on both Anglicanism and Roman Catholicism. He will be canonised on October 13th, 2019. Yet his personality remains elusive and his legacy is still contested. Who was Newman and what is his significance for us today?

Those who want to come to know Newman better and to learn from him will be able to meet him in this concise and elegant new study.

John Dollond FRS (10 June O.S. (21 June N.S.) 1706 - 30 November 1761) was an English optician. He followed his father's trade, but found time to acquire a knowledge of Latin, Greek, mathematics, physics, anatomy and other subjects. Early in 1757 Dollond succeeded in producing achromatic refraction by the aid of glass and water lenses, and a few months later he made a successful attempt to get the same result by a combination of glasses of different qualities .

John loved Jesus greatly and this shows in his proper regard for God's commandments. He urges believers to show the same love and devotion to God, reminding them it is their solemn duty and love to care for their fellow brethren. Sadly, few modern Christians comply with this biblical model. The first epistle is 'general', while the second and third are private letters to individuals. Nevertheless, the three epistles or letters can be applied to our everyday lives. The book is based on individual Bible studies taught in 2001, and expanded. The author has no time for useless church traditions, so all studies, including the books, are written with readability in mind. Any technical language is explained so concepts can be used in our lives daily. Thus it is not a theological treatise, though its contents are certainly based on theological thought arising from biblical teaching.

Ce petit livre, John Nelson Darby (1800-1882), l'essor d'un heretique total, fait connaitre non seulement les debuts d'un stratege et d'un tacticien ecclesiastique hors pair, mais retrace le premier parcours de ce revolutionnaire religieux qui, au cours des annees 1840 a Lausanne, affuta les armes seductrices et dominatrices d'un manipulateur de genie. Ce qu'il y apprit l'arma pour une oeuvre de conquete des esprits qui, tout particulierement dans le monde anglo-saxon, aboutit a une reorientation radicale de la foi chretienne. Ces pages ne retracent pas uniquement par le detail, les annees lausannoises qui, pour Darby, furent la rude ecole d'un tacticien politique et ideologique, mais revelent, d'une maniere fortement documentee et toute nouvelle, a quel point sa pensee theologique prit un chemin qui l'engagea resolument en faveur d'heresies redoutables tres puissantes, ouvrant ainsi a Satan une voie originale dans la guerre qu'il livre, aujourd'hui encore, a la foi chretienne.
John L. Lewis (1880-1969), who ruled the United Mine Workers for four decades beginning in 1919, defied presidents, challenged Congress, and kept American political life in an uproar. Drawing upon previously untapped resources in the UMW archives and upon oral histories by major figures of the 1930s and 1940s, the authors have created a remarkable portrait of this 'self-made man' and his times.

A rare example of musical scholarship from the Tudor period, in translation and fully annotated John Dygon was the prior of St. Augustine’s monastery in Canterbury when Henry VIII boldly dissolved the English Catholic Church during the 1530s and reorganized it under royal control. Only a single copy of Dygon’s manuscript on music theory has survived, held by Trinity College, Cambridge. This volume will be the first publication of these two treatises, providing both a scholarly transcription and English translation. Dygon’s treatise provides a rare and important example of musical scholarship from the early Tudor period, demonstrating the status of music education at the time, the affiliations of English scholarship with music study in Europe, and the music that was actually performed in England. The treatises address questions of musical notation, especially regarding rhythmic proportions, as well as practical issues about performance. Theodor Dumitrescu’s introduction situates Dygon’s treatises within the larger history of European music, paying close attention to its borrowings from and adaptations of prior treatises.
