In the Middle Ages, during the reign of King Richard of England, a terrible anti-Semitic massacre took place in York in 1190. The city's entire Jewish community was trapped by an angry mob within the tower of York Castle. Members of the community chose to commit suicide rather than be murdered or forcibly baptized by the attackers.Eugen Rispart's great epic, crammed full of incidents, accurate in historical detail, delineating with a master hand the famous characters of the period, graphic in description, blending tragedy, comedy, and romance takes its place amidst the other masterpieces of Eugen Rispart. Through the great spectacle move the figures of Prince Richard, Eleanor the stern Queen mother, The Earl of Salisbury, Benedict, the Jew of York, and his partner Joscen. We are taken into the intimacy of the Jewish home and into the political arena of the struggle between Prince Richard and Prince John for the throne. Major William Schonfield created this translation in 1933 and it had disappeared until a recent discovery by the editor. It has now been thoroughly revised and additional information added to be made available once again. The reader cannot but become involved in this gripping novel.

I am the child of time, I say: Time tastes of the most delicious wine, we drink it, and it drinks us, we and time awaitour drunkenness together, till the angel of indulgence, wholly unembarrassed, crosses our melancholy foreheads."Her poetry embodies a feeling of nihilism or absurdity, but in a positive sense, stimulating creation and innovation instead of death and surrender. This is the fruit of a transparent and sincere monologue, indicating the power of the heart and the power of the soul. The meditative inclination in Hanane Aad's verse may be founded on a strategy of her poetical writing to bring the abstract down from its throne to the level of the concrete and non absolute, in order to humanize what is abstract and to set up a possible dialogue with life, or the passing age, at least within the poem."- Jihad Hudeib, Amman, October 2004

This much cited work by Johanna Rosa Engelking was originally a Master's thesis. It has now been edited and made available in book form with additional biographical information about this remarkable woman.Coming from a background of education and culture from her pioneer German-Texan ancestors, much involved in early Texas and later US politics, she gained respect and influence in those sympathetic to the ideal of freedom.In this well researched book we discover another interpretation of Texan history that was very much linked to the issue of slavery.

I recently attended a performance of Peter Shaffer's play, Equus. The play was inspired by an irrational crime-a young man had intentionally blinded a number of horses with a sharp object. The playwright knew nothing about this individual or the circumstances surrounding the crime-only of the crime itself. The play seeks to create a mental world where the crime can be made comprehensible.This short drama is of the same nature. We do not really know Judas: we only know his crime. What could make the crime of Judas comprehensible? We have limited information about Judas. He was from a Judean village, Kerioth; he was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus of Nazareth, the only non-Galilean. He was appointed treasurer of the group; he betrayed Jesus into the hands of the Jewish authorities and subsequently committed suicide. Since we do not know the "real" Judas, or never will, his characterization must, of course, be imaginary. This drama is an attempt to present one possible set of circumstances that could have motivated Judas to act as he did.

A long-lost and forgotten book by the author of the Passover Plot, Hugh J. Schonfield under the pseudonym of "Hegesippus"First published in 1932, this little book caused a sensation and stir amongst conservative Christians yet its explanation of the famous so-called Sermon on the Mount still blows like a breath of fresh air today!The original dust jacket reiterated current reviews: "From first to last the pages vindicate the tenets and words of Christ." - the Christian"This moving book which all earnest Christians will welcome." - Dr. McInnes in the Scots Observer"His book is of immense importance." - City Mid-Week"The Arguments are put forward with so little passion or rhetoric and are so obviously supported by scholarship and knowledge that the case seems beyond refutation." - City Mid-Week"The exposition here given is supported by Talmudic and other Jewish writings ... singularly apt and illuminating." - The ChristianIt probably remains, as also stated on the front cover: The Greatest Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount

Every life is a theatrical play and has its own intriguing story. But there are some lives that don't dovetail into plays or stories. Their lives exceeded the dimensions of one particular story or play, transforming into a chain of stories and plays.While I was constructing the story of their strange life, I found myself on stage in a play. Nobody told me to act in it. I'm a volunteer actor in this play.The theater is where this play, in which I'm an actor, opens its curtains while you're snoozing away in your warm, comfy bed. Sometimes after a one-act play is played, it closes its curtains before midnight, and sometimes it stays open until the morning to watch the awakening of those in the bosom of sleep. I'm the one who plays in and watches this strange game until the stories are yours.

Nel 1982, verso la fine di una vita notevolissima, il medico psichiatra David Ropschitz decise di scrivere per mettere nero su bianco la sua storia personale di sopravvivenza durante la guerra.In questo romanzo autobiografico, egli narra il percorso da un'infanzia agiata nella Vienna degli anni '20 si suoi studi di medicina negli anni '30 in Italia, fino al suo internamento, nel luglio 1940, ad opera del governo fascista, nel più grande campo di internamento italiano, Ferramonti di Tarsia.In questo romanzo il dottor Ropschitz ricorda con tenerezza ed umorismo i tre difficili anni passati a Ferramonti: le amicizie, gli amori, le privazioni, la fame e la costante incertezza.Questo racconto accattivante porta il lettore in un viaggio dalla Calabria agli Abruzzi, dal filo spinato alla libertà, esplorando lungo la strada i temi della fede, dell'umanità, e della psicanalisi.

Wilhelm (Willi) Haller (*25. Juli 1935; ¿ 2. August 2004) was not a theologian but an industrialist. Within the framework of his commitment to the Fellowship of Reconciliation, he also lectured on theological topics. He is mainly known for his contribution to the humanization of work but he was much concerned with philosophical and religious issues. He was very much influenced by the teachings of the bible scholar and Messianist Hugh J. Schonfield and convinced that a Servant Nation was the only way to solve the fundamental problems of mankind. He not only founded the leading flexible working hours and security equipment company, Interflex, but also was instrumental in innovative social projects. An unbelievable entrepreneur (most of his initiatives are still operating today), he was a gentle approachable person and father of four children.
