The world might look different today, but in this intriguing novel, MacQueen focuses on the days and weeks after the famous Ides, when the would-be assassins are put on trial for their lives—and who should defend them but Cicero!

I Romanzi Antichi e il Cristianesimo

“The authors of the classical novels shared their world with Christians--some may have been Christians themselves--and one might expect to find references to Christianity in their works. In this learned and pioneering study, Ilaria Ramelli, an expert in both classical literature and early Christianity, brings to bear her profound knowledge of ancient history and a subtle feel for literary values, and identifies a wide range of possible allusions. Her book is a contribution not only to the study of the ancient novel but also to our understanding of the cross influences between religious cultures in the ancient world.”

Once Loved Always Loved

Theology

“Once Loved Always Loved is an excellent book, rigorous in its argumentation and the clarity of its expression. Andrew Hronich’s work is without a doubt an important contribution to the debate over universalism, providing a much-needed overview and critical discussion, yet never overlooking the personal dimension and why the question is crucial to all believers.”

The Dionysian Gospel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

In this exciting volume, MacDonald brings his customary acumen to bear on the relationship between Euripides’s representation of Dionysos and the life of Jesus recounted in the Gospel of John, and the results are as exciting and impressive as ever.”
