While the dominant approaches to the current study of political philosophy are various, with some friendlier to religious belief than others, almost all place constraints on the philosophic and political role of revelation. Mainstream secular political theorists do not entirely disregard religion. But to the extent that they pay attention, their treatment of religious belief is seen more as a political or philosophic problem to be addressed rather than as a positive body of thought from which we might derive important insights about the nature of politics and the truth of the human condition. In a one-of-a-kind collection, DeHart and Holloway bring together leading scholars from various fields, including political science, philosophy, and theology, to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy and to demonstrate the role that religion can and does play in political life. Contributing authors include such important thinkers as Peter Augustine Lawler, Robert C. Koons, J. Budziszewski, Francis J. Beckwith, and James Stoner.

Somewhere On The Edge Of I'm Sorry is a brutally honest, healing, and emotional collection of prose by Canadian author Carson Patrick Bowie.

At times both romantic and cynical, yet as heartfelt as it is heartbreaking.
Beatrice at Bay is the second Beatrice McIlvaine Adventure, a story that follows the soft-spoken and somewhat telekinetic Beatrice as she grows up in a world of increasingly sophisticated threats. The saga started with Beatrice and the Basilisk, a modern-day fairy tale that resonated unexpectedly with readers young and old. Beatrice was twelve then. She's fifteen now, and facing different challenges: a potential step-father; her own immense but unwelcome powers; the weird kids from the Academy; and-possibly most importantly-the end of the world as we know it. Can Beatrice channel her troubling destructive energies in the service of something greater than herself? Who can she trust at a beautiful school for gifted kids that isn't quite what it seems? And what's with this Lester White Bull kid creeping on her Instagram account, anyway? Clocking in at 25,000 words, a combination of "Stranger Things" and Pippi Longstocking, Beatrice at Bay is a fast, funny, exciting read for anyone with a hard head and a kind heart-kids, that is, between the ages of ten and seventy-four.
Biblical Heroes and Classical Culture in Christian Late Antiquity
Carson Bay
Cambridge University Press
2022

In this volume, Carson Bay focuses on an important but neglected work of Late Antiquity: Pseudo-Hegesippus' On the Destruction of Jerusalem (De Excidio Hierosolymitano), a Latin history of later Second Temple Judaism written during the fourth century CE. Bay explores the presence of so many Old Testament figures in a work that recounts the Roman-Jewish War (66–73 CE) and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. By applying the lens of Roman exemplarity to Pseudo-Hegesippus, he elucidates new facets of Biblical reception, history-writing, and anti-Judaism in a text from the formative first century of Christian Empire. The author also offers new insights into the Christian historiographical imagination and how Biblical heroes and Classical culture helped Christians to write anti-Jewish history. Revealing novel aspects of the influence of the Classical literary tradition on early Christian texts, this book also newly questions the age-old distinction between the Christian and the Classical (or 'pagan') in the ancient Mediterranean world.
