The Liberian Civil War
Just before Christmas 1989, a small group of armed fighters crossed a narrow river marking the frontier with the Ivory Coast, and entered the West African state of Liberia. The civil war which followed plunged the African continent's oldest republic into a long and agonising nightmare, during which the country was torn apart and its people brutalised by terror, violence and bloodshed. Mark Huband, the West Africa correspondent of the Financial Times and subsequently Africa correspondent for The Guardian, lived through the war from the beginning, and his account of the conflict, which begins a few days after the incursion, is a moving and dramatic portrayal of the war as it unfolded.
Vanishings
For fans of Amanda Foody and Debbie Watson comes a magical adventure story about an twelve-year-old girl who will do anything to help a friend—but could use a lesson or two in looking before she leaps. Tilly’s friend Michael disappeared from Wythic Wood a year ago, and he’s still missing. Convinced that no one’s searching for him, Tilly convinces her gran to allow her to spend the summer with Opa, their family’s magical teacher and wizard, at his home in Clayton Forest—which just so happens to be right next to Wythic Wood. In Clayton Forest, alongside her twin cousins, Jess and Zach, Tilly meets magical beings like fairies and gnomes, gets lessons in potion-making and a goblin st...

A Disabled Apostle
Speculation around the health of Paul the Apostle has been present since soon after his death. Recently scholars have understood Paul to be disabled but have been wary of isolating precisely what his disabilities may have been or whether they are important for understanding his writings. This book is the first full-length study of Paul the Apostle and disability. Using insights from contemporary disability studies, Isaac Soon analyses features of Paul's body in his ancient Mediterranean context to understand the ways in which his body was disabled. Focusing on three such ancient disabilities--demonization, circumcision, and short stature--this book draws on a rich variety of ancient evidence...
The Skull Beneath The Skin
In The Skull Beneath the Skin: Africa After the Cold War award-winning journalist Mark Huband argues that foreign involvement in Africa has been the single most destructive element in the continent's history. He argues that the catastrophes that have erupted since the end of the Cold War are a legacy of that long foreign involvement, and that stab
The Significance of the Byzantine Text for Textual Criticism Within the Book of Acts
The overall Greek manuscript evidence for the Acts of the Apostles displays the most significant textual variation of any New Testament book. For over two hundred years, textual critics have sought to resolve these difficulties. Building upon the excellent work of Editio Critica Maior 2017 (an update to NA28), this volume tackles these concerns and seeks to improve the text of Acts still further. All data sets were considered (e.g., the Byzantine/mainstream tradition was not ignored). Uniquely, a more primitive form of the “Western” tradition than the one represented by Codex D was used as a basis of comparison. Finally, no regionally authorized ancient formal recensions were assumed. Th...
