As a college professor who teaches courses in Christianity and Islam and as a Presbyterian Minister, I have read a wide variety of books on Christian theology and spirituality. There is no work which I have read that addresses the relationship between the life of the spirit and the mind better than Henry's _Ironic Christian's Companion_. He lucidly combines his personal experiences as a Christian and his life-long intellectual interests in crafting a book which addresses some of the deepest concerns that people have in leading their lives. In a thoughtful and nuanced yet very direct manner Henry shares his thoughts on issues as diverse as death, suicide, divorce, friendships, romance, beauty, time, place, paying attention and the processes involved in finding meaning in the most difficult of life's circumstances. One riveting aspect of the book is that it resists simple answers to life's complex questions. The _Ironic Christian's Companion_ is not a ''how-to'' or ''self-help'' book which attempts to provide a simple solution to life's hardships. Rather, it invites readers to raise new questions about their position in the universe and provides them with a rich set of suggestions regarding how they can begin viewing their humanity and their relationships with the Divine differently. The fact that Henry handles observations about life's meaning from cab-drivers on an equal footing as those from Pope John Paul II is indicative of the freshness in his approach. During the past several years, I have been very embarassed by the narrowness and myopic simple-mindedness of books authored by various Christian writers. The _Ironic Christian's Companion's_ attention to life's multifaceted ambiguities and its propensity to evoke novel perspectives about some of the deepest mysteries we face make it a sophisticated and straightforward volume for religious and non-religious persons alike. It is one of the few works that I would recommend with equal confidence to Christians and non-Christians alike. …

Legend has it that as the sage Lao~Tzu was leaving the country of Chou at the end of his life in the sixth century B.C.E., a frontier guard asked him to write something that would teach the art of living. The result was a text called the Tao Te Ching. It is the world's oldest leadership manual, written to help everyone who is in a position of power ~ farmer, landlord, parent, head of household, local politician, head of state ~ to turn that position into an opportunity for creating both inner and outer harmony. Widely considered the wisest book ever written, the Tao Te Ching shows leaders how to guide their communities to peaceful productivity and happiness. James Autry and Stephen Mitchell have now brought this wisdom to bear on the most significant arena of life outside family: work. "Management," writes Autry, "is a calling, a sacred trust in which the well~being of other people is put into your care during most of their waking hours." Real Power will change the way working people look at how they spend this time, and shows how to create an environment in which everyone's power can be expressed in order to produce the best results for everyone. Autry and Mitchell make clear the paradoxes of winning at work: that only when we learn to let go of the illusion of control can we empower others and ourselves; that conventional displays of power are the least effective ways to get things done; that helping our competition (inside or outside the company) can bring us the greatest benefit; that employees already have power in their skills, their commitment to their job, and their passion for their work. "In Real Power, Autry and Mitchell demonstrate that ancient wisdom is good business. This unique partnership uses the time~tested lessons of the past to enable success in today's business world. Real Power is a guidebook no serious person can afford to miss. It will change the way you work and deepen the way you live." ~RACHEL NAOMI REMEN, M.D. author of Kitchen Table Wisdom. Read the book straight through, contemplate a piece from the middle, or skip around to find what suits you. Each of the brief, poetic essays commenting on a selection from the Tao Te Ching carries an essential lesson which can be held throughout the day as a reminder of how to build an ideal environment. Integrating the elegant wisdom of Real Power can transform the workplace from a source of stress into one of deep creativity and even joy. Whether you're at the top of the corporate ladder, the middle, or the bottom, this guide will help you make your work fulfilling on every level from financial to personal. …

Willis Barnstone is a poet, and also renowned for his translations of Classical Greek poetry. Now he has tried his hand at translating the New Testament, which he calls The New Covenant, which is an exact translation of its Greek title: Kaine diatheke. He presents this foundational book of Christianity in a way that does full justice to its deep poetical qualities. Substantial parts of the Old Testament have long been recognised as verse rather than prose, and many translations have taken account of this. Barnstone goes much farther. In his New Covenant, which contains the four Gospels and the Apocalypse, but not the Acts and the Letters, he renders in free verse all the passages purporting to be Jesus's words -- for instance, the Sermon on the Mount. Similarly for the words of John the Baptist, and the whole of the Apocalypse (The Revelation of John). Many readers, like me, will find that the familiar texts appear in a new light. Barnstone's aim is to create in his English readers the same impression as the original Greek does to the Greek-speaking ones. Most of the many Jews in the cities of Egypt and Asia minor had at that time Greek as their mother tongue. One essential feature of Barnstone's translation of the New Covenant is to render all names of persons and places in its Hebrew or Aramaic form: Jesus (Greek Iesous) as Jeshua, Jerusalem as Yerushalayim. He underlines that the New Covenant is a Jewish book. Jesus was of course a Jew, and so were most of the early Christians. They were an integral part of the Jewish community, by now spread over most of the Eastern Mediterranean area. Contrasting Jews and Christians was a propagandist trick of later writers, who were eager to distance themselves from other Jew .Thus they planted the seeds of Christian anti-semitism. I think Barnstone has taken the right decision on this point. The book also contains a Foreword of some 20 pages, and an afterword of 120 pages, where Barnstone places his translation in the wider context of Biblical studies. Further, the book has footnotes explaining obscurities and various points of translation. But they are never obtrusive.In his comments Barnstone avoids polemics, and reveals himself as a well-informed and urbane liberal-minded scholar. He stresses that the gospel narratives find little or no confirmation in historical accounts. Somewhat surprisingly, he goes on to say that Jesus's crucifixion by the Roman authorities must be regarded as an established fact. This is certainly the opinion of the large majority of New Testament scholars. But there is by no means unanimity on this point. However, this is a minor matter. All in all, Barnstone succeeds extremely well in making his readers approach the New Testament with fresh eyes, shifting attention from points of doctrine and historicity, on to what is common to great religious poetry all over the world: its power to inspire feelings of hope and joy, and at the same time to convey a sense of the mystery of human existence.This is a superb achievement.…
