Much as an ancient hymnist carries a familiar subject into new
directions of song, the contributors to "A Californian Hymn to
Homer" draw upon Homeric scholarship as inspiration for pursuing
new ways of looking at texts, both within the Homeric tradition and
outside it. This set of seven original essays, accompanied by a new
translation of the Homeric "Hymn to Apollo," considers topics that
transcend traditional generic distinctions between epic and lyric,
choral and individual, performed and literary. Treating subjects
ranging from Aeschylus' reception of Homeric anger to the
representation of mantic performance within Early Islamic texts,
the collection presents a selection of imaginative critical work
done on the West Coast by scholars of antiquity.

This book is on the Inquisition, particularly the Spanish
Inquisition as opposed to the Roman Inquisition in the years
following the Spanish Reconquista. Walsh delves into the
Inquisition, its practice, purpose, history and personalities. The
Inquisition was not a bloodthirsty BDSM fest gone wild. It was a
reasoned response to infiltration of the Catholic Church by enemies
of the Christian Faith who pretended to be Christians in order to
pervert worship, doctrine and weaken Christendom. Anyone wishing to
understand the Inquisition would to well to read Characters and
learn of the heroes of the Faith, Cardinal Ximenes, Torquemada, and
others who fought the good fight for Jesus Christ and his Church,
After reading Characters, you will never look at the Inquisition in
the same way.
