An ambitious weave of ideological, literary, and commodity history, The Reenchantment of Nineteenth-Century Fiction shows how Dickens, Thackeray, and George Eliot sacralized Victorian modernity in two contradictory ways: by incarnating their moment as one of transcendent development, and by reenacting bloody rituals from a fading Protestant past. Both the magnitude and the brevity of their success make these works exemplary for our own era, caught between the archaic gods of traditional religion and the still-mysterious ones of market society.

Justin Lin directs this second sequel to the 2009 Academy Award-winning spin-off of the classic 1960s sci-fi adventure series. After overcoming doubts about his continued role in Starfleet, Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) leads the crew of the USS Enterprise as they continue to explore the darkest reaches of space as part of their five-year mission. Upon arriving for a routine stop at a remote Federation planet, the Enterprise is subjected to a devastating surprise attack by swarms of mysterious alien vessels. Overrun and with all systems failing, the crew have no option but to abandon ship, leaving them stranded on the surface with limited supplies and no way of sending for help. After coming across alien warrior Jaylah (Sofia Boutella), Kirk soon discovers that the merciless Krall (Idris Elba) is behind the attack and is readying an army to destroy Starfleet once and for all. Now facing a desperate battle to survive, Kirk must reunite his crew and find a way of defeating their frenzied new enemies before it's too late. The cast also includes Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg and Anton Yelchin.

Payne shows that this Old Testament book combines history and theology as it narrates Samuel's virtues, Saul's defeats, and David's successes in relation to God's activities during an important phase in the life of Israel.

Currently an ordained minister and Founder of Conqueror Ministries, Reverend Darrin Payne's first 24 years barely forecasts such a divine outcome. Today his life demonstrates the effectual working of Godly intervention yielding in an absolute change in his daily walk, talk and outreach to others. The sum total of his life is not the focus. He clearly has chosen to lay out in glaring detail just how specifically the odds were stacking up against him. Amazingly, you will come to know him from various other perspectives in "A Conqueror In Training." Through shocking loss, traumatic scenarios and the birth and development of his human nature, the storyline reveals a tenacious rivalry between good and evil. The onset of the latter takes on a theme that is threatening to both his psyche and his spiritual development. As the details of his striking childhood unfold, the elements of his future are unassuming as the foundational structures of his spiritual training manifest. The juxtaposition of his natural and spiritual training takes you on an eventful trip through sex, drugs, mental breakdown and dangerous liaisons which will arouse temptation to dislike his choices. The ride continues as you endure the angst he encounters when he hits a wall of despair and heartache. The grit and grime of his character building at such an early point in his lifetime gives ample meaning to the term: survivor. Not only so, but he represents the thematic intent of the scriptural reference, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us," Romans 8:37 so specifically that it is no surprise that he is the face of the Conqueror Lifestyle, which is revealed through Conqueror Ministries.
