Ten-year-old Nathan Abercrombie is having a really bad day. First, Shawna Lanchester, the prettiest girl in his class, doesn't invite him to her party. Then he gets picked last in gym class. Things couldn't get any worse…until he gets doused with an experimental serum that turns him into a half-dead zombie!

 

Nathan soon discovers that being half dead isn't all bad. He doesn't need any sleep, so he can stay up all night and play games online. He doesn't feel any pain, so there's no need to worry about Rodney the bully anymore. Still, Nathan would rather be human. Will he find a cure? Or will Nathan be half-dead forever?

 

Fans of David Lubar's popular Weenies short story collections—which have sold more than one million copies—will love My Rotten Life, the first of a series of hilariously rotten adventures starring Nathan Abercrombie, Accidental Zombie.

For many years, biblical scholars had been convinced that the middle ages was marked by a so-called pre-critical understanding of the Bible, with only a handful of isolated exceptions ? like Andrew of St. Victor ? popping up as precursors of the historical-critical method. Here, however, Henri de Lubac draws on extensive documentation that demonstrates that even among the Victorines the traditional exegesis involving an interplay between the literal and spiritual senses of Scripture is a constant throughout medieval exegesis. The one exception ? a radically important one, de Lubac readily admits ? was Joachim of Flora, whose doctrine is considered in the final chapter of this volume. / This third volume of Fr. de Lubac?s Medieval Exegesis cover volume two, part one of his French volume and includes both the original Latin notes and an English version of the sources.

When Toby breathes on Mama Inez's bird-shaped invitations, giving them the power to fly, plans for the Serendipity Market begin. Soon, eleven honored guests travel from afar and make their way to the storytellers' tent to share their stories. Each tale proves what Mama Inez knows—that magic is everywhere. Sometimes it shows itself subtly—a ray of sun glinting on a gold coin, or a girl picking a rose without getting pricked by the thorn—and sometimes it makes itself known with trumpets and fireworks. But when real magic is combined with the magic of storytelling, it can change the world.

This is a breathtaking debut novel written with elegance and grace.

This book may be the only way the shamanic peoples of the Shor Mountain region of Siberia are remembered, as their legacy is expected to die with these shamans, now in their 80's - or already passed on.
Published here in the English language for the first time, this intimate presentation of previously disparate studies of Siberian Shor shamanism will intrigue academicians and folklorists alike; as well it will inspire serious shamanic practitioners and those interested in traditional shamanic cultures.

'Una notizia sorprendente'. È con queste parole che Henri de Lubac accoglie l'annuncio della sua partecipazione al Concilio Vaticano II. I suoi Quaderni ripercorrono i due anni di preparazione e le quattro sessioni conciliari, senza tralasciare le intersessioni. Ci permettono così di assistere alla discussione degli ordini del giorno, ma anche, in occasione delle riunioni della Commissione teologica e delle sottocommissioni, all'elaborazione dei testi successivamente presentati ai Padri conciliari. Padre de Lubac, eminente teologo e uomo di grande spirito, offre al lettore una guida sicura, introducendolo in quel magma teologico che fu il Concilio e permettendogli di cogliere la posta in gioco di dibattiti talvolta animati. Questi quaderni ci invitano ad una più profonda comprensione storica e teologica del Concilio. Oggi, seguendo lo stesso schema preparato da de Lubac, l''Opera Omnia' esce anche in francese presso le Editions du Cerf, che hanno da poco pubblicato in lingua originale i quaderni del Concilio.

After Logan receives a face full of magic dust from a man in the reference section of the library, he finds the only way to stop his incessant punning is to find oxymorons, anagrams, and palindromes to fulfill the requirements of three quests. Jr Lib Guild. Reprint.

When the Germans invaded Russia in 1941, Vasily Grossman became a special correspondent for the Red Star, the Soviet Army's newspaper, and reported from the frontlines of the war. A Writer at War depicts in vivid detail the crushing conditions on the Eastern Front, and the lives and deaths of soldiers and civilians alike. Witnessing some of the most savage fighting of the war, Grossman saw firsthand the repeated early defeats of the Red Army, the brutal street fighting in Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk (the largest tank engagement in history), the defense of Moscow, the battles in Ukraine, the atrocities at Treblinka, and much more.

Antony Beevor and Luba Vinogradova have taken Grossman's raw notebooks, and fashioned them into a gripping narrative providing one of the most even-handed descriptions --at once unflinching and sensitive -- we have ever had of what Grossman called “the ruthless truth of war.”

Origen (185-ca. 254), one of the most prolific and influential of the early Church Fathers, is best known to us for his Scripture exegesis. Henri de Lubac's History and Spirit is a landmark study of Origen's understanding of Scripture and his exegetical methods. In exploring Origen's efforts to interpret the four different senses of Scripture, de Lubac leads the reader through an immense and varied work to its center: Christ the Word.

As Hans Urs von Balthasar said in discussing this seminal work: 'The theory of the senses of Scripture is not a curiosity of the history of theology but an instrument for seeking out the most profound articulations of salvation history...' (From the book The Theology of Henri de Lubac.)

What the reader finds on this journey is not only, then, a fascinating view of the mind and spirit of an important Father of the Church, but an essential key to a more profound understanding of the way in which Christ speaks to us through Scripture.

In their introduction to 15 provocative viewpoints on the 9/11 attacks and the U.S. response, Barrett (with Khidria, a nonprofit Islamic socio-environmental awareness organization) and Christian and Jewish theologists argue that each of these religions has its own sometimes discomforting reasons for its spin on official versions of 9/11. Less controversially, they contend that adherents of these faiths need to pursue the truth consistent with the ethics of their respective traditions. A linked website is available to continue the interfaith dialogue. V.1 is titled 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out (edited by David Ray Griffin).

Con questo volume si conclude l'Esegesi medievale di de Lubac e si giunge ad Erasmo, aprendosi così a quell'Umanesimo già insito nel Medioevo, che però l'Europa interpretò successivamente in forme riduttive. Nella 'Memoria intorno alle mie opere' l'autore ricordò le circostanze in cui nacquero i quattro volumi che compongono 'Esegesi medievale'. A metà degli anni Cinquanta, esonerato dall'insegnamento, ebbe l'occasione per un lungo confronto con la tradizione cristiana nella gioia dell'incontro con la tradizione viva che, sgorgata dal Vangelo, prosegue senza interruzione nella vita della Chiesa. Interpretando e spiegando con rigore scientifico e entusiasmo, de Lubac ha compiuto un itinerario che i più recenti progressi filologici e storici non hanno annullato. Il testo presentato è il quarto volume della sezione quinta 'Scrittura ed Eucarestia', ovvero il 20° volume dell'Opera Omnia.

Questo cofanetto racchiude i quattro volumi (17, 18, 19, 20) della quinta sezione ('Scrittura ed Eucarestia') dell'opera di Henri de Lubac 'Esegesi medievale'.
