Mary Magdalene is a key figure in the history of Christianity. After Mary, the mother of Jesus, she remains the most important female saint in her guise both as primary witness to the resurrection and 'apostle of the apostles'. This volume, the first major work on the Magdalene in more than thirty years, focuses on her 'lives' as these have been imagined and reimagined within Christian tradition. Philip Almond expertly disentangles the numerous narratives that have shaped the story of Mary over the past two millennia. Exploring the 'idea' of the Magdalene - her cult, her relics, her legacy - the author deftly peels back complex layers of history and myth to reveal many different Maries, including penitent prostitute; demoniac; miracle worker; wife and lover of Jesus; symbol of the erotic; and New Age goddess. By challenging uniform or homogenised readings of the Magdalene, this absorbing new book brings fascinating insights to its subject.

In March 1896 a well-disciplined and massive Ethiopian army did the unthinkable-it routed an invading Italian force and brought Italy's war of conquest in Africa to an end. In an age of relentless European expansion, Ethiopia had successfully defended its independence and cast doubt upon an unshakable certainty of the age-that sooner or later all Africans would fall under the rule of Europeans. This event opened a breach that would lead, in the aftermath of world war fifty years later, to the continent's painful struggle for freedom from colonial rule.Raymond Jonas offers the first comprehensive account of this singular episode in modern world history. The narrative is peopled by the ambitious and vain, the creative and the coarse, across Africa, Europe, and the Americas-personalities like Menelik, a biblically inspired provincial monarch who consolidated Ethiopia's throne; Taytu, his quick-witted and aggressive wife; and the Swiss engineer Alfred Ilg, the emperor's close advisor. The Ethiopians' brilliant gamesmanship and savvy public relations campaign helped roll back the Europeanization of Africa.Figures throughout the African diaspora immediately grasped the significance of Adwa, Menelik, and an independent Ethiopia. Writing deftly from a transnational perspective, Jonas puts Adwa in the context of manifest destiny and Jim Crow, signaling a challenge to the very concept of white dominance. By reopening seemingly settled questions of race and empire, the Battle of Adwa was thus a harbinger of the global, unsettled century about to unfold.

Animé par son amour pour la Vierge et nourri des paroles de Marthe Robin, le père Ravanel nous entraîne dans un véritable coeur à coeur avec Marie. Le père Ravanel nous invite à découvrir celle que Jésus nous a donné pour mère: son rôle spirituel, sa maternité envers l'humanité, sa présence dans l'histoire à travers ses apparitions, et notamment celles de Lourdes. S'écartant des sentiers battus, il développe des angles originaux tels que les rapports entre le surnaturel et la psychologie, et souligne tout particulièrement la pédagogie de la Vierge. Le père Ravanel nous dévoile également de nombreux textes inédits de Marthe Robin tirées de son journal. Des paroles riches d'enseignement qui révèlent à quel point Marie est présente et à l'oeuvre dans le monde. Tour à tour témoignage de foi, éclairage théologique et élan de prière, ce livre permet de prendre conscience et d'approfondir le mystère de celle que l'on peut appeler «notre mère».
