    Apicius, first century author of De Re Conquinaria (On Cookery), has been described as the most demanding of gourmets, and his amazingly sophisticated recipes havve long been awaiting rediscovery with practical adaptation for the modern kitchen. In The Roman Cookery of Apicius, John Edwards has given us a new, close translation of Apicius' manual, coupled with his adpted and tested versions of 360 superb recipes. Most attractive for modern lovers of fine cookery is the enormous variety, orginality and richness of flavours, achieved with entirely pure and natural ingredients. The many kinds of meats, vegetables, fish, fowl, shellfish, cheeses, fruits, nuts, herbs, spices, honey and wines - all familiar in themselves - here appear delectably transformed in surprising combinations. One can prepare theses recipes and actually experience the distinctive dishes of Apicius' day, with flavours that range from the delicate and subtle to the hot and pungent, or the richly sweet. This is a perfect manual for food lovers an adventurous cooks, hoping to be inspired.

    What kind of future do Australians have? Until the coronavirus pandemic, nearly two-thirds of Australians had never experienced an economic slump in their working lives. Indeed, nearly half were not yet born when the Australian economy last tipped into recession. Creating a path for Australia through these difficult times requires a careful assessment of where we have come from, where we are, and where we are going. This book, by one of Australia's leading economic voices, examines the fractured state of the global economy and financial system, the ailing US economy and its epic contest with China, the global economic order, and what it all means for us.

    An introduction and evaluation of contemporary approaches to theology, Postmodern Theologies sets out to discern movements shaping the ""postmodern"" study of religion in a unique collaborative venture born of a postgraduate seminar at Florida State University.While some might say that theology after the death of God is like biology after the end of life--a discipline without a subject--Postmodern Theologies identifies four general patterns of ""postmodernisms"" in theology today: ""constructive"" theologies (with Helmut Peukert, David Ray Griffin, and David Tracy cited as examples); postmodernisms of ""dissolution"" (Thomas J. J. Altizer, Mark C. Taylor, and Edith Wyschogrod); postliberal theologies (George Lindbeck); and ""communal praxis"" (exemplified by Gustavo Gutierrez and other Latin American theologians, and James Wm. McClendon and Sharon Welch among North Americans). These theologies eschew debates on traditional religious foundations to define true religion as the result of--rather than the impetus to--living one''s beliefs.As these disparate approaches to theology are not directly comparable, the final chapter of Postmodern Theologies instead analyzes how each one accounts for the plurality of religions. Exploring the postmodern strategies for coping with one of the most difficult questions in any theological age offers a fascinating way to assess their inherent strengths and weaknesses.""The best possible introduction to the assorted theological projects now called ''postmodern''.""James Wm. McClendon, Jr. (1924-2000)Fuller Theological Seminary""Tilley has produced a text that is original in composition and content. The breadth and depth of the conversation is impressive. The result is a persuasive model for performing theology in a postmodern context.""Dr. Dermot A. LaneIrish School of Ecumenics""The individual essays are workmanlike, providing an entry into writings which might otherwise prove formidable for those not instructed in the arcane jargon of postmodernism.""Lawrence S. CunninghamCommonweal""The book is an unusual type of survey, highly educative and serious . . .

  • - The Pureblooded King
    by John Edwards & Nicole Meadows
    £19.49

    Vampires prey upon humans because of their need for blood. However, Eero, a Pureblooded vampire, has the power to turn humans into vampires known as the common vampire. Eero is the King of Vampires, and yet he keeps himself hidden from his species. A situation between Eero's sires leads him to the mountainous region of North Carolina where he meets a little girl named Ava who happens to be wondering in a graveyard. Eero becomes fond of Ava and marks her as his property. Eero, suspecting that Ava is lost, attempts to take her back to her family. However, a group of vampire hunters from an organization called the Phalanx Hunter's Guild happens to be following Eero and Ava. The situation empowers Eero to leave Ava with her mother. He then allows a witch to bind his body for the next thirteen years without a fight. The real suspense and drama do not happen until after Eero wakes from his thirteen-year imprisonment in his own body. Eero isn't accustomed to all things human but seems to be human enough to investigate the mysteries surrounding Ava's last thirteen years. Will Eero, the Pureblooded King, come to realize how much Ava struck favor in his cold darkened heart? And how far will he go to protect her?

  • - God's Existence and His Will
    by John Edwards
    £7.49

    Fr John Edwards offers us answers to the ancient questions about God's existence and His will. In exploring the process known as 'discernment of spirits' he draws on the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola.One of the merits of this useful book is that it takes seriously what we are as human beings, created by God, and shows how living in Christ enables us to express our true humanity in the way we live. Its practical advice will be especially useful to priests called to guide others in the spiritual life, while it will also give great help to those who are perplexed about their beliefs. In both respects Fr John Edwards shows himself aware of the way in which people are affected by contemporary secular thought and its inadequacy to take account of human nature and its real needs.'It is good to have these important truths put before us in a clear and uncluttered way. I welcome Fr Edwards' approach warmly'. Archbishop Mario Conti'Having made a thirty-day retreat some years ago, I recognise in Fr Edwards' book the pure well-spring of Jesuit spirituality. If you thirst for water of the spirit, you will find here an oasis in the desert. I thoroughly recommend it.' Sr Briege McKenna OSC

    Ways of Praying provides a thorough introduction to the many different methods of prayer in the Christian tradition, and allows the reader to understand their own prayer practice ¿ and go deeper. For over thirty years this little book has provided sure and helpful guidelines for developing a personal life of prayer."This book should prove a useful and easily available reminder to priests, religious and laity, and especially to young people, of the vital importance of prayer. Personal prayer is possible for everyone and is an indispensable means of fostering a close relationship with Christ Our Lord. I am particularly pleased to see the emphasis given to the reception of the sacraments, especially the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and also the part played by sacramentals in prayer. I hope that Ways of Praying will be read and used regularly by all those who desire to grow in the spiritual life." Cardinal Basil Hume
