History & Biography

“Praise for The Dove and the Dragon Ed Simon is the prolific cultural historian for our apocalyptic age, and his latest work is as ambitious as it is intimate. From the Dead Sea Scrolls to medieval Cathars and Fraticelli to the fiery rhetoric of modern politics, The Dove and the Dragon unfurls a tapestry of ideas where angels whisper and prophets roar. It’s a lucid and learned encyclopedia that leaves you at once awed and grounded—a reminder that every era, not just ours, is fraught with crises and hope.”
