  Calvin : Institutes Of The Christian Religion

  $90.00

  Print on Demand Title

  Now available in paperback, this is the definitive English-language edition of one of the monumental works of the Christian church. All previous editions-in Latin, French, German, and English-have been collated; references and notes have been verified, corrected, and expanded; and new bibliographies have been added.The translation preserves the rugged strength and vividness of Calvin’s writing, but also conforms to modern English and renders heavy theological terms in simple language. The result is a translation that achieves a high degree of accuracy and at the same time is eminently readable.

  Long recognized for the quality of its translations, introductions, explanatory notes, and indexes, the Library of Christian Classics provides scholars and students with modern English translations of some of the most significant Christian theological texts in history. Through these works-each written prior to the end of the sixteenth century-contemporary readers are able to engage the ideas that have shaped Christian theology and the church through the centuries.

  Both Feet Firmly Planted In Midair

  $35.00

  In this deeply personal and moving autobiography, McNeill speaks candidly about the early steps and frequent perils he encountered along his spiritual journey. He writes about his childhood in Buffalo and the loss of his mother, the awakenings of his identity as a gay man, the lessons learned and horrors witnessed during his capture by German soldiers in WWII, the beginnings of his life partnership, and the odyssey that commenced with the publication of “The Church and the Homosexual” and culminated in McNeill’s expulsion from the Society of Jesus. Poignant, frequently astonishing, and always hopeful, this testament to an extraordinary life will inspire all who read it.
