The God Who Riots: Taking Back the Radical Jesus by Damon Garcia
English | August 23, 2022 | ISBN: 1506480373 | True EPUB | 194 pages | 7.2 MB
For thousands of years, religious messages have been used to either uphold the status quo or upend it. And while we are all very familiar with the kind of conservative Christianity that suppresses liberation and justifies oppression, progressive Christians are just as guilty of upholding unjust systems when we prioritize harmony and unity over justice. True justice requires us to choose sides. True justice requires action. When we look at Scripture, we see that the God of the Bible was never neutral. Again and again God chooses the side of the oppressed. Jesus said the Spirit of the Lord anointed him "to let the oppressed go free," and those of us who claim to follow Jesus today must commit to this radical mission of liberation.

The Fifteenth Century XVII: Finding Individuality By Linda Clark (ed.)
2020 | 178 Pages | ISBN: 1783275227 | PDF | 5 MB
The essays collected here cast light on the factors that made or defined an individual, and the ways in which the men and women concerned gave expression to their individuality. Facets of the characters of English kings emerge from the varying contents of their wills, and the use of propaganda in their personal letters. By contrast, Margaret of Anjou's early years are explored for the roots of her conduct as queen consort, and how she matched up to contemporary expectations following Henry VI's mental collapse. The law courts and the legal profession provide the stage and cast for several papers: individual lawyers, of dubious integrity and adept at manipulating legal processes in their own interests, provoked the violence that led to their own deaths, while a member of the same profession is shown to have orchestrated civic riots in which he and his neighbours sought to give expression to their own status as they perceived it. Finally, in their frustrated search for justice, strong-minded women asserted their individual rights by taking their grievances to Henry VII's star chamber.

The Fifteenth Century XVI: Examining Identity By Linda Clark (ed.)
2018 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 1783273615 | PDF | 7 MB
The vitality and diversity of research into the late medieval period are exemplified by the contents of this volume. A central theme is the medieval Church: examinations of the process of ordination, the parishioners of Dartford in Kent and the influence of their learned vicar, how monastic chroniclers changed their focus as the century progressed, the perhaps unjustified reputation of Bishop Ayscough of Salisbury, and the significance of Edward IV's charter of ecclesiastical liberties. Another strand concentrates on Ireland, to explore both the complex relations between the Gaelic-speaking peoples of the west and the Stewart monarchy in Scotland, and the status and participation in government of the English settled near Dublin. Unusual perspectives on London are derived from a study of those engaged in identity theft there at the start of the century, and two heralds' accounts of the public processions and elaborate funeral rites accorded to a French ambassador at its end.

The Fifteenth Century XV: Writing, Records and Rhetoric By Linda Clark (ed.)
2017 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 178327249X | PDF | 9 MB
The focus of this volume may be summed up as "The Word". Its essays examine the contents and provenance of manuscripts which were written for polemical purposes, treasured by the duchess of York, and through the new medium of print introduced to a wider public topics of historical interest and illustrations of the geography of the known world. The essays here also consider official records of forest administration, expressed in arcane language; documents preserved in the papal curia which reveal significant facts about the lives of Scottish bishops; archives produced by the English chancery noting the movements of a royal councillor; and letters, poems and songs exposing the political strategy of a German prince. Nor is the 'spoken' word neglected, whether employed in speeches delivered at the start of parliaments, using as their themes scriptures and classical texts to set a political agenda; or as sermons to open-air congregations gathered at St. Paul's Cross, where the oratory of Bishop Alcock stirred his listeners in different ways.

The Fifteenth Century XI: Concerns and Preoccupations By Linda Clark (ed.)
2012 | 172 Pages | ISBN: 1843837579 | PDF | 3 MB
The concerns of people over differing levels of fifteenth-century society are the focus of the essays contained in this volume. How would a queen in exile wish to be depicted on a medal, or a newly-crowned king deal with recalcitrant London merchants when their interests clashed with his policies? The logistics of an invasion of France present a challenge to the military advisers of another king, and by bringing fresh insights to the text a translator of Vegetius' 'De re militari' addresses the fears of rulers and ruled in a time of civil unrest. English supplicants to the papal curia require expert advice to navigate bureaucratic procedures at Rome; while Welsh students encounter other obstacles as they embark on careers in Church and state. Manuscript and printed versions of parliamentary statutes point to differing preferences on the part of government clerks and practising lawyers in their choice of language; while the papers of a professional estate manager from Norfolk reveal antiquarian interests and an affinity with William of Worcester.
