Plagued by the demons of her doomed first and near fatal journey across the Atlantic, Annie comes across an unconscious soldier she recognises while doing her rounds. And a survivor of that fateful night, Annie, is working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, now refitted as a hospital ship. And then, as the world knows, disaster strikes. Now suspended in an eerie, unsettling twilight zone during the four days of the liner's illustrious maiden voyage, a number of the passengers - including millionaires Madeleine Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim, the maid Annie Hebbley and Mark Fletcher - are convinced that something sinister is going on. This is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the passengers of the ship from the moment they set sail: mysterious disappearances, sudden deaths. ![]() Someone, or some thing, is haunting the Titanic. ![]()

![]() The research served as a foundation for future books on various topics. The theory was later extended to explain the different moral reasoning and how they relate to political ideology, with different political orientations prioritizing different sets of morals. Haidt's main scientific contributions come from the psychological field of moral foundations theory, which attempts to explain the evolutionary origins of human moral reasoning on the basis of innate, gut feelings rather than logic and reason.

Oyler’s unnamed protagonist, a young, fretful New Yorker, introduces herself immediately after the aforementioned list with the disclaimer: ‘I didn’t believe all this, necessarily.’ She’s afflicted with a kind of terminal self-awareness – ‘I would probably insult you in bed and call it feminist’ – that should ring true to anyone who’s attended a liberal arts college in the last ten years. ![]() It seems like ‘the world ending, or would begin to end soon, if not by exponential environmental catastrophe then by some combination of nuclear war, the American two-party system, patriarchy …’ The question isn’t whether these are the best or worst of times, but whether they’re the worst or plain bad.ĭistinguishing bad from worst – deciding whether this is hell or merely purgatory – is very much the subject here.

My reading future will definitely include many books from Louise Erdrich’s canon. Fortunately, it’s never too late to “discover” an author and be spun off into a new reading universe. I’ve seen her name on lists of best books in literary journals and other places, and knew that she’d won a Pulitzer Prize, but despite the fact that one of her early novels, Love Medicine, has sat on my shelf for nearly three years, as if waiting patiently for me to chance upon it, I’d not read her. ![]() I’m not sure why it took me so long to read Louise Erdrich. ‘The Sentence’ by Louise Erdrich | Credit: Courtesy ![]() ![]() There are a few key passages in Scripture that clue us in as to how the devil operates. ![]() So the question is: whose voice are you listening to? God’s, your own, or the devil’s? But in order to be free, we have to sort out the true from the false, which is why we desperately need the “Spirit of truth” who is not a bird, a flame, or symbol but a Person. And so this retreat is really about letting Jesus untangle you from this mess so that you can truly be free. The problem is that many of us have taken lies for truth, falsehoods for reality, and then we live out of these fabrications.

It’s set near the end of the occupation, as the U.S. But the scope is vastly different: While Kaboom brought the reader fully and compellingly into the present-day reality of the ground occupation in Iraq, Youngblood is a novel obsessed with the past, looking through a far wider lens. Seen through the eyes of new lieutenant Jack Porter, Youngblood inherits a similar immediate, deadpan first-person voice, and shares with Kaboom some of the stellar details of the Iraqi desert towns and the world of the base camp-whether it’s the visceral charge of combat or a private reading St. Raised in Reno, Nevada, and now living in Brooklyn, Gallagher is an Iraq veteran-his first book, Kaboom, is a memoir that grew out of the blog he kept during his deployment (and which was subsequently shut down by the U.S. The legacy of the Iraq War and its resurgence in the national conversation, especially now in the midst of a particularly charged and vitriolic election year, are among the urgent and resonant questions of Youngblood (Atria), a smart and riveting new novel by Matt Gallagher, set in the fictional town of Ashuriyah.

One of those colleagues, Chris Armstrong–a church historian at Bethel Seminary–is also offering his own wonderful reflections from a more theological standpoint over at his blog, Grateful to the Dead. To begin, I’m going to parse along with some of the very-canonical (and some not-so-canonical) works I’m addressing in my British Literature survey course this fall. As an exercise toward that end, I’ve decided to start a series reflecting on some of what some works in my own area–the literature and culture of the British Isles in the Middle Ages–might add to that conversation. Paul, Minnesota, in a presentation to our colleagues concerning what the study of the Middle Ages has to offer students and scholars in the present–especially students and scholars at a protestant Christian institution who can tend to treat history as something that began when Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of Wittenberg Cathedral in 1517.
