After the success and wide distribution of the first ADDICTED TO
MURDER movie in 1996, writer/producer Kevin J. Lindenmuth wanted to
shoot a larger budget sequel. He came up with the idea for THE LAST
VAMPIRE and hired frequent collaborator Ron Ford to write the
screenplay. However, that was not to be. So Lindenmuth proceeded to
make a micro-budget PREQUEL, TAINTED BLOOD, keeping in mind that he
would make this "Final ADDICTED TO MURDER movie" one day. While a
lesser sequel to the first two movies was made, BLOODLUST, this
screenplay remained unproduced. Then, itching to do a follow-up
years later, Lindenmuth agreed to let screenwriter Todd French take
a stab (and puncture) at it. Keeping in mind THE LAST VAMPIRE
script, as well as the continuity of the first three movies,
ADDICTED TO MURDER: REDWORK was born. Alas, there was not a
producer for this script, either. Now that a decade has passed fans
of the ADDICTED TO MURDER trilogy can discover how the series
finally ends...
This volume brings into dialogue the ancient wisdom of Augustine of
Hippo, a bishop of the early Christian Church of the fourth and
fifth centuries, with contemporary theologians and ethicists on the
topic of social justice. Each essay mines the major themes present
in Augustine's extensive corpus of writings-from his Confessions to
the City of God- with an eye to the following question: how can
this early church father so foundational to Christian doctrine and
teaching inform our twenty-first century context on how to create
and sustain a more just and equitable society? In his own day,
Augustine spoke to conditions of slavery, conflict and war,
violence and poverty, among many others. These conditions, while
reflecting the characteristics of our technological age, continue
to obstruct our collective efforts to bring about the common good
for the global human community. The contributors of this volume
have taken great care to read Augustine through the lens of his own
time and place; at the same time, they provide keen insights and
reflections which advance the conversation of social justice in the
present.
When people prayed, they expected their gods to come, wrote Robin
Lane Fox, providing the impetus for this volume of collected essays
exploring the concept of how the ancients "envisioned" the deities
within various ancient religious traditions. The perspectives of
Judaism, Gnosticism, Syriac Christianity, Byzantium, and Classical
Greco-Roman religion and philosophy are considered. Specific
emphasis is given to phenomena such as dreams, visions, and
initiatory rites mediating the divine encounter.
