The Faith. A History of Christianity

2002. Pp: 806. This is history on an epic scale, written by an author who combines theournalist's flair for colour and immediacy with the scholar's respect forigour and accuracy. Starting with the events of Jesus' own life, The Faithraces the rise of Christianity from the status of a small, subversive secto that of a great world religion, the story of two millennia of evangelismnd persecution, heresy and schism, reformation and counter-reformation, fromhe missionary journeys of the apostles to the rise of the 'tele-evangelists'f the late twentieth century. Whether he is describing the heroism of thearly Christian martyrs, the horrors of the Inquisition, the tragedy of therusades or the spirituality of the Christian mystics, Brian Moynahan writesith balance and objectivity. He is no apologist for the manifest follies andbominable cruelties so often perpetrated in the name of Christ, but nor ise dismissive of the power and beauty of a faith which has endured for soong and inspired so many. This is a book that will appeal to Christians ofll denominations, as well as to those of other faiths, who wish to. ISBN: 9781854108609. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.

If God Spare My Life. Tyndale, the English Bible and Sir Thomas More

Little, Brown, 2002. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 422. William Tyndale (1494 - 1536) is one of the most famous of history's martyrs. Being out of sympathy with the contemporary English church and suspected of heresy, he left England in 1522 and matriculated at Wittenberg two years later. Here he got to know Luther. In 1525 he translated the New Testament and the Pentateuch by 1531. He had reached the book of Jonah when he was burned for heresy near Brussels. Brian Moynahan's brilliantly written account ties no less than Sir Thomas More, newly named patron saint of politicians, to the betrayal and burning of Tyndale. The extraordinary feud between the two men has never been shown in such detail before. The book also included vivid portraits of Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and Cardinal Wolsey. Burnings alive, early printing, book smuggling, and the linking of More, 'the man for all seasons' to the betrayal and execution of the most quoted writer in the language (84% of the King James New Testament is word-for-word Tyndale) - these are the backdrop to one of the most astonishing lives in British history.

Rasputin

Random House, 1997. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 400. Grigory Efimovich Rasputin came to St. Petersburg from his Siberian cabin in 1903 like a projectile from the medieval past, tattered, black-clad, muttering. By the time he was murdered thirteen years later, the peasant was the "beloved" Friend of Tsar Nicholas and Empress Alexandra and the sponsor of the most powerful officials in Russia. He had become, a society lady wrote, "a dusk enveloping all our world, eclipsing the sun. How could so pitiful a wretch throw so vast a shadow? It was inexplicable, maddening, almost incredible. "Rasputin's name has become synonymous with evil, but his legend has obscured the facts of his life. In this evocative biography, Brian Moynahan presents us with a flesh-and-blood Rasputin, more fascinating than the myth-a man in whom debauchery coexisted beside a real (if erratic) spiritual sense, a man whose coarseness hid a savvy awareness of human psychology. Drawing on confidential police reports, cabinet meeting memos, and other documents, some available only since the fall of the Soviet Union, Moynahan sheds new light on Rasputin's life and disputes some of the widely held details of his death. The young Rasputin was a drinker, thief, and womanizer. He claimed to have religious visions and became a wandering holy man, preaching that exposure to sin could drive out sin. He stormed the fashionable salons of St. Petersburg, and in 1905 he met Nicholas and Alexandra, who, increasingly despised by the sophisticated, found in Rasputin reassurance that the "real Russia, the simple and pious peasantry, loved them. Rasputin's mysterious ability to stop the bleeding attacks of their hemophiliac only son, Alexis, sealed the approval of thedomineering Alexandra. With royal patronage, Rasputin became increasingly reckless, partying with prostitutes, peddling influence, plotting the disgrace of those who crossed him. Ever contradictory, he was also a devoted family man, a defender of the poor, and a figure of immense charisma. As Germany battered Russia during World War I, as Nicholas's ineptitude as a leader became ever more rampant and the masses went hungry, Rasputin seemed to monarchists to be the cause, and not just the symptom, of corrupt government. A group of conspirators gathered-among them a grand duke and a scion of the richest family in Russia-and one of the most famous murders in history was planned.Set against the vivid backdrop of prerevolutionary Russia, Rasputin is a portrait of an age as well as of a man.
