Now this is bound to be disappointing to some. This implies that a course in apologetics is not for the purpose of teaching you, "If he says so-and-so, then you say such-and-such back." Apologetics, to repeat, is a theoretical discipline that tries to answer the question, What rational warrant can be given for the Christian faith? Therefore, most of our time must be spent in trying to answer this question. As a theoretical discipline, then, apologetics is not training in the art of answering questions, or debating, or evangelism, though all of these draw upon the science of apologetics and apply it practically. In addition to serving, like the rest of theology in general, as an expression of loving God with all our minds, apologetics specifically serves to show to unbelievers the truth of the Christian faith, to confirm that faith to believers, and to reveal and explore the connections between Christian doctrine and other truths. Apologetics is thus primarily a theoretical discipline, though it has a practical application. What is apologetics? Apologetics (from the Greek apologia: a defense) is that branch of Christian theology which seeks to provide a rational justification for the truth claims of the Christian faith. EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an excerpt from Reasonable Faith by William Lane Craig ( Crossway).

Through a series of vignettes that chart a course across the American landscape, Jones draws readers into his boyhood and adolescence-into tumultuous relationships with his family, into passing flings with lovers, friends, and strangers. Jones tells the story of a young, black, gay man from the South as he fights to carve out a place for himself, within his family, within his country, within his own hopes, desires, and fears. Haunted and haunting, How We Fight for Our Lives is a stunning coming-of-age memoir. The ‘I’ it seems doesn’t exist until we are able to say, ‘I am no longer yours.’” We sacrifice the people who dared to raise us. “We sacrifice former versions of ourselves. “People don’t just happen,” writes Saeed Jones.
This fall, she begins a position as Assistant Professor of English at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York. Her current book project, forthcoming with Rutgers University Press’ new Global Race and Media series, A Mexican State of Mind: New York City and the New Borderlands of Culture, examines the creative worlds and cultural productions of Mexican migrants in New York City within the context of a system of racial capitalism that marginalizes Mexican migrants via an exploitative labor market, criminalizing immigration policy, and racialized systems of surveillance. She is the author of the poetry collection Coatlicue Eats the Apple, editor of the anthology, ¡Manteca!: An Anthology of Poets, co-editor of La Verdad: An International Dialogue on Hip Hop Latinidades and co-author of the novel, Pure Bronx.

If we've read "D.C.," we already know what happens to Blaise and Peter and Enid Sanford. With "The Golden Age," Vidal returns to the characters and time period of this first-written book in the series. It was also the first in what is now called "The American Chronicles" - Vidal's series of seven historical novels encompassing the entire history of the United States: from the revolutionary war-era "Burr" (1973), through "1876" (1976), to the Spanish-American war-era "Empire" (1987). "Washington D.C.," which took place in the nation's capital from 1938 to 1954, was a character-driven novel whose concerns were more psychological than historical. Its characters and time period have been co-opted in Vidal's latest novel, "The Golden Age." Vidal's 1967 novel, "Washington D.C.," is also enjoying a revival of sorts. Gore Vidal's 1960 play, "The Best Man," about the behind-the-scenes wrangling at a political convention, is enjoying a well-deserved revival on Broadway this season.

The Promise is not only a very engaging story penned by a master storyteller, it also offers great riches for readers who are alert to passing allusions. I’ve read it as promptly as I could so that others can have the pleasure of reading it too. Today there are 19 reserves ahead of a would-be borrower for this remarkable book. Not a bad problem to have, but still… The Promise, however, which I reserved after reading Joe’s compelling review at Rough Ghosts, came in on reserve for me, one day before the announcement that it’s on the Booker Prize shortlist. Meaning that reading plans, such as they are, have to be put on hold so that the pile of books can all be read before the due date. And then we wait for ages, and lo! the reservations all come at once. We read so many enticing reviews from our blogging friends that they exceed the book-buying budget and so we reserve the books at the library. It is blind-stamped, pebbled, and has a spine stamped in gold. The first assumption was that it was cloth leather with stitching, but after further research it was uncovered that the book is bound in mid-19 th century cloth. The book holds very plain binding, it looks like leather, yet feels like cardboard. While the book itself is a hardback, it has the same size as that of a modern-day paperback book, hinting that it was a book easily transported on carriage rides or read out of the home. The front and back covers are simplistic in design-a worn, brown, textured cover with an imprint of the publisher’s logo upon the front-adhering to the mass production of the book as well as the plainness of the titular character of the novel itself.

Which one is happening shifts throughout the story and from narrator to narrator as characters other than Muna briefly lend their points of view. I love the book's overall tone, it has relentlessly upbeat feeling, a kind of optimism borne out of either not understanding how grave the danger might be or from understanding the risks and persevering anyway. Where SORCERER TO THE CROWN dealt specifically with racism and misogyny, THE TRUE QUEEN is more about misogyny and the particular combination of racism and xenophobia that is exoticism. THE TRUE QUEEN by Zen Cho introduces Muna, a young woman venturing to foreign Britain to obtain magical help in rescuing her vanished sister. Queer Rep Summary: Lesbian/Sapphic Main Character(s), Gay/Achillean Secondary Character(s).

If Muna is to save her sister, she must learn to navigate high society, and trick the English magicians into believing she is a magical prodigy.

They have been cursed by an unknown enchanter, and slowly Sakti starts to fade away.
