London: Bodley Head. 499 pp. Paperback thick octavo, very good condition, red colour front cover & spine little faded, red inside covers lightly toned, minor edgewear. Karen Armstrong, writing about the prehistoric times to the present day, contrasts medieval crusaders and modern day jihadists with the pacifism of the Buddha and the Jesus vision of a just and peaceful society. This book is a corrective to the widespread condemnation of faith as violent. Throughout history there has been no separation between the secular and the spiritual, and therefore our communal identity (including the political and religious) was the cause of conflict, not religion as a separate entity. Equally to blame for the beginning of organized violence was the agrarian revolution about 8500 BCE and civilization, with its need to support and control larger populations. A well-researched and passionately argued celebration of those religious ideas and movements that have opposed war and aggression and promoted equality, peace and reconciliation.

Because of the bestselling book 'The Da Vinci Code' by Dan Brown, a worldwide audience is now aware of the existence of the mysterious sect of Opus Dei. However, very little is actually known about this secret Catholic organisation. Noam Friedlander investigates the conspiracy theories behind the movement from its inception in 1928 to the present day. It includes Opus Dei's activities in Spain where the movement's founder, Escriva, allied his group with Franco's regime, leading to several Opus Dei members occupying key positions in his government, and in Nazi Germany where in 1945, many leading Nazis escaped through the Knights Of Malta and the Vatican 'rat run' to the Americas. She explores its political involvement in several South American countries such as with the Chilean Pinochet Junta. Pope John Paul II gave the movement a unique status in the church making it a 'personal prelature', strengthening its area of influence in the appointment of a future Pope. In America, close links were forged between Opus Dei and the CIA. (From the Conspiracy Books series, published by Collins & Brown, 2005.). ISBN/ASIN: 9781843402886. Our Book No: 18549. $15 AUD.

London: XPress Reprints / SCM Press. 255 pp. Paperback small octavo, very good condition, few tiny dents & scuffs rear cover, minor edgewear. A great introduction to theology, particularly the problems about language that confront the modern theologian. Analytical philosophy, existentialism, Biblical criticism and continental neo-Protestant theology, all contribute to a single argument about the problems of human likeness to God (and anthropomorphism) with precision. Lucidly explains the issues raised for Christian belief both by empiricist analytical philosophy and by existentialist hermeneutics. Following Wittgenstein, he holds that we must allow each linguistic form to disclose its own logic - to speak in terms of myth, symbol and analogy. Existentialist interpretation cannot exhaust the meaning of theological language, otherwise we are reduced to anthropology. We must progress to ontology - to talk about the transcendent Being of God. A timely counter-poise to over-facile analyses of the logic of theology that result in a kind of Christian atheism. ISBN/ASIN: 1859310249. Our Book No: 17486. $20 AUD.

Also described are some peripheral rituals: the initiation of the boys, mortuary rites, and sorcery and love magic. One chapter, written specifically for POINT Series, discusses briefly the effect of the proclamation of the Gospel against the background of Yali traditional religion and world-view.
