![]() ![]() Who was Henri de Lubac? He was a veteran of the French army in World War I, during which he was severely wounded. For without de Lubac’s pioneering work in recovering the Fathers of the Church and the riches of medieval biblical commentary for contemporary Catholic thought, the key texts of Vatican II-its dogmatic constitutions on divine revelation and on the Church-would not be so richly scriptural and patristic in content and style. Whatever the outcome of the cause, paying such a tribute to one of the great figures of twentieth-century Catholic theology was a fitting way to continue celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the Council’s opening. On March 31, the bishops of France announced that they would petition the Holy See for permission to open a beatification cause for Father Henri de Lubac, S.J. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Lucy and Dov start to develop a relationship, it feels right.

Her captor may look every inch a rugged warrior, but Ellie vows that it will take more than a wickedly suggestive caress to impress her. Worse, this irresistible woman is determined to prove herself immune to Erik’s charms-a challenge he cannot resist. Ellie’s ordinary appearance belies the truth: She is in fact Lady Elyne de Burgh, the spirited daughter of the most powerful noble in Ireland. When Bruce is forced to flee, his bid for freedom rests on the shoulders of one extraordinary warrior.Įrik MacSorley is a brilliant seafarer who has never encountered a wind he could not harness or a woman he could not win-until he drags a wet, half-naked “nursemaid” out of the waters off the Irish coast.

They served in various roles in various presidential cabinets. For good and bad, their fingerprints are all over those decades. And while they are forever in the shadow of the Founders and failed to resolve slavery and keep the country from the Civil War, they were indeed giants of their era.

The Era of Good Feelings, of one-term presidencies, of American expansion westward, of compromises between free and slave states. ![]() The era when, with the exception of Jackson, none of the presidents seems to be well remembered from the last of the Revolutionary War figures in the White House and Lincoln. They are usually supporting characters in books about the War of 1812, the years leading up to the Civil War, the Mexican War, the annexation of Texas, in biographies of Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, etc.īut they were major figures in that murky era of American history between the nation's founding and the Civil War. 22-Henry Clay, John Calhoun and Daniel Webster always seem to be lurking in the pages of history. ![]() ![]() ![]() AUTHOR: William Shakespeare (1564-1616) needs little introduction. ![]() It also includes Shakespeare's Sonnets, as well as his longer poems 'Venus and Adonis' and 'The Rape of Lucrece'. ![]() This volume is a reprint of the Shakespeare Head Press edition, and it presents all the plays in chronological order in which they were written.

They feel like if their stories only have one piece of speculation in them, they're somehow cheaping out. ![]() They think that the more weirdness the better. In my experience, a lot of people who write speculative fiction (Sci-fi, fantasy, etc) tend to make the same mistake. It was funny, well-written, and managed one of the most difficult tricks of all, which is to be ridiculous AND realistic. No more than I could jump in and do his job and be good at it.Īll that aside, I was pleasantly surprised by the book. Just because Yahtzee can be funny, clever, and witty in a five minute review, doesn't mean that he can write a funny, clever, witty novel. It's just that brilliance is not necessarily transferable. But honestly, I didn't have high expectations. When I found out that he'd written a book as well, I was curious. ![]() Like most people, I know Yahtzee primarily through his brilliantly scathing video game reviews. ![]() ![]() ![]() Manilow and Sussman continued to refine the show, and it finally made its New York debut in 2022 at the Edmond J.
