"Comprehensive and visionary, Reading the Bible on Turtle Island reimagines Christian faith in view of Indigenous experiences and identity."Foreword Reviews, November/December 2025Join the dance of North American Indigenous interpretations of Christian ScriptureIn Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Indigenous scholars Chris Hoklotubbe and Danny Zacharias explore what it means to read the Bible from the lens of Indigenous peoples in North America. Exploring the intersection of Scripture, Cultural Traditions, Hearts and Minds, and Creation, they affirm Creators presence with Indigenous people since the beginning. By recovering these rich histories, this book offers a fresh reading of Scripture that celebrates the assets, blessings, and insights of Indigenous interpretation.Indigenous culture has often been dismissed or deemed problematic within Western Christian circles, and historical practices have often communicated that Indigenous worldviews have little to offer the church or its understanding of Scripture. Hoklotubbe and Zacharias challenge this perspective, reasserting the dignity of these cultures that were condemned through colonial practices and showing how Indigenous interpretations bring invaluable insights to all of Gods people.In Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Hoklotubbe and Zacharias: Affirm the dignity and value of Indigenous cultures and their contributions to hermeneutics. Explore the intersection of the Bible with Indigenous traditions. Delve deeply into the stories of Scripture alongside the complex histories of Indigenous communities in North America. Celebrate the unique blessings and insights of Indigenous interpretation. Offer a fresh, transformative reading of the Bible that speaks to all of Gods people. Reading the Bible on Turtle Island is a vital resource for scholars who are interested in the intersection of biblical studies and social location, who are seeking to explore Scripture through an Indigenous hermeneutic, or who desire to learn more about the contributions of Indigenous worldviews to Biblical interpretation.

Tara Selter is no longer alone.Tara Selter has lived the eighteenth of November 1,143 times when she notices a break in the pattern: a man has changed his shirt. The man is Henry Dale, and he remembers all the days that have come before. He knows that time has fallen out of joint. Now they are two of a kind - trapped in the eighteenth of November, but no longer alone.Together they learn to share their present; their voices grow hoarse recounting their small battles against it and their bewilderment at the disintegrating world. Henry sees things differently to Tara: he does not think that time will put itself back together and he does not think that the future will come around. But he makes her realise that she is no longer the same person she was before this fault in time. And he makes her believe that there may be others to find within it.Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize and Winner of the Nordic Council Prize for Literature, On the Calculation of Volume III is the third volume of the poetic, page-turning European masterpiece about one womans fall through the cracks of time.

History is everywhere. It seeps into the soil, the sub-soil. Like rain, or hail, or snow, or blood.Josie OGrady is an elderly woman, living alone in her dilapidated big house on the outskirts of a rural Irish village. Then one day her bedroom door swings open to reveal McGreevy, an IRA terrorist on a bloody crusade, who has chosen her isolated house for sanctuary. As days pass, these two outsiders develop a grudging respect for each other, which grows into affection and friendship, but the police net is closing in and, with dawning horror, Josie starts to suspect that McGreevy is not only using her house as a refuge.Based on interviews with the IRA leader Dominic McGlinchy in Portlaoise Prison and published four years before the Good Friday Agreement, this thrilling, political, poetic novel is a portrait of the state of the Irish nation at the height of the Troubles.

From childhood, Christopher Miles was fascinated by celluloid. This love of the moving image announced itself early: he was just 17 when the BBC screened his first film in 1957. To be a filmmaker, Miles had to sidestep parental plans to enrol him in the family steelworks. He had already been filming in communist China and Argentina when he escaped to Paris where he made his first professional film. Later, working mostly in Europe and America, Miles made a string of intriguing and unusual films, two exploring his obsession with D.H. Lawrence, others bringing works by Jean Anouilh and Jean Genet to the big screen. He writes revealingly of his relationship with his father, of whether he is related to the royal family, and of the host of key figures in the film industry he worked with. Among the stars of his films are Ian McKellen, Ava Gardner, John Gielgud, Susannah York, Franco Nero and Charlotte Rampling. This compelling account goes behind the scenes, setting the films in context and giving the reader a very personal view of contemporary film-making.
