Women in Christianity in the Age of Empire
Women in Christianity in the Age of Empire (1800–1920) offers a broad view of the nineteenth century as a time of dramatic change, particularly for women, critiqued in the light of postcolonial theory. This edited volume includes important contributions from academics in the field. Overarching themes include the cult of domesticity, the changing impact of Christianity on views of women’s nature in an age of scientific thinking, conflation of ‘gospel’ and ‘civilization’ in global mission, and the exclusion of women from public spheres of life. We meet powerful saints, campaigners, and thinkers, who bring about genuine transformation in the lives of women, and in society. But we also recognize the long shadow of Empire in the world of the twenty-first century, critiquing Colonialism and Empire, and views that restricted women’s lives. This engaging volume will be of key interest to students and scholars in Religion and Cultural Studies. Exploring the complexities of the nineteenth centur,y it draws on a range of scholarship, including TV documentaries, film, online, and more traditional academic resources.
The Frozen Verdict and Other Short Stories
Twelve stories. Twelve moments where choice changes everything. From neon streets to misty hills, twelve tales of fate, courage, and consequence. From rain-slick Hong Kong courtrooms to mist-bound mountain bridges, The Frozen Verdict and Other Short Stories journeys through the landscapes of justice, memory, love, and loss. A judge hides a deadly secret behind her verdict. A boy with music in his fingertips stands between his village and an invading army. A young policeman follows the glow of fireflies into the heart of a mystery. Lovers navigate silences deeper than words. Families fracture—and mend—over dinner tables, inheritance, and forgotten promises. Spanning continents and cultures, these tales are rich with atmosphere and alive with moral tension. They explore what happens when the law falters, when the heart insists, and when courage means surrender as often as it means fight. Elegant, suspenseful, and deeply human, this collection invites you to linger in its worlds—long after you’ve turned the final page.

This collection brings together the debates together, set them into their historical and theoretical context, and deal with the major criticisms and refutations. A particular strength of this collection is that it will available a key sources otherwise scattered and hard to obtain.
