This incredible though little-known classic of Catholic spirituality presents before the reader the entire school of true Christian holiness and the means and exercises necessary to attain sanctity. As no one shall enter Heaven who is not perfect, then if we wish to attain to that perfection which will gain us entrance to eternal happiness with The Blessed Trinity, with Jesus, with Our Lady, St. Joseph and all the Saints and Angels, we need to start in earnest and with a sure method to correct every aspect of our lives. The Imitation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Fr. Peter Arnoudt, S.J. is just such a "sure method" that the soul needs as a guide to perfection. For it begins at the beginning and covers every means at our disposal as Catholics, which we have and which we need to perfect ourselves plus it covers every pitfall that we face in the daunting task of attaining holiness.

J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according to themes that develop the reader's understanding on a topic before moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound.

IN 1924 a lengthy article appeared in the May 21 issue of The Golden Age magazine titled "A Bible for the Scientist." The article was revised and republished in the December 31 issue with the byline, "by W.E. Van Amburgh." This article asserts that the Great Pyramid at Giza was "Bible number one," and presents proofs FROM THE PYRAMID for Watchtower expectations, speculations and predictions for the dates 1789, 1874, 1914, 1925 and 1926. The publisher of The Golden Age magazine was the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society, of which organization W.E. Van Amburgh was the Secretary-Treasurer for 43 years. Followers of The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, called "Jehovah's Witnesses" since 1931, believe that in the year 1919 The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society was selected as God's sole channel of communication with man. These are some of the things that The Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society was teaching when Jesus selected them as his "faithful and discreet slave."

First-century media culture is probed by assessing the dynamics of literacy, orality, aurality, and performance in the Gospels, parts of the Pauline corpus, and also Jewish apocalyptic literature. The audience constructs of informed, minimal, and competent assist the interpreter to apply the methodology. Sound maps and an aural-performance commentary of Revelation 1 and 11 are developed that analyze aural markers, sound style, identity markers, repetition, themes, and the appropriation of the message by the audience. The book concludes by examining the sociological, theological, and communal aspects of aurality and performance and its implications for interpreting the Apocalypse.
