Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013Christian Dualist Heresies in the Byzantine World, c. 650-c. 1450
by Janet Hamilton, Bernard Hamilton
Christian dualism originated in the reign of Constans II (641-68). It was a popular religion, which shared with orthodoxy an acceptance of scriptual authority and apostolic tradition and held a sacramental doctrine of salvation, but understood all these in a radically different way to the Orthodox Church. One of the differences was the strong part demonology played in the belief system. This text traces, through original sources, the origins of dualist Christianity throughout the Byzantine Empire, focusing on the Paulician movement in Armenia and Bogomilism in Bulgaria. It presents not only the theological texts, but puts the movements into their social and political context.

Mind, Body, SpiritTranscendent Dreaming
Stepping into Our Human Potential
by Christina Donnell, PhD
Transcendent Dreaming: Stepping into Our Human Potential (Winds of Change Books, October 2008) by Christina Donnell, PhD, recounts a series of dreams that, much to the author's surprise, revealed within her a capacity for prophecy, clairvoyance, stepping out of time, materialization, and ultimately, a state of oneness with all creation. These faculties of expanded consciousness, she proposes, lie dormant in humankind, ready to be awakened. This multiple award-winning book chronicles Donnell's radical spiritual awakening through "transcendent dreaming," a form of dreaming that expands consciousness, allowing dreamers to identify with the intelligence that animates the universe. Through example, the book invites readers to access their infinite nature by delving into their own dream experiences. In the process, it eases theirtransition from identifying with the individual self to identifying with the underlying intelligence pervading the universe. This blueprint for a transcendent humanity guides us toward a future of inner peace, joy, and wonderment independent of external circumstances. Donnell offers ten of her own dreams, not so much as revelatory epiphanies, rather as sources of inspiration so that readers will want to delve deeply into their own dream experiences. Her dreams are organized in a way that lets readers witness the dream experiences as they unfolded, and learning more about their significance for expanding consciousness and accessing transcendent reality.

Social issues & processesFlowers Blossoming
by Gao Jing
Flowers Blossoming is a picture book created in the context of poverty alleviation through education in China. In the Shiwan Mountain area of Guangxi where the outdated notion "women are not supposed to receive education" still prevails, Ah Mei, a girl of the Yao ethnic group, cherishes the hope that "knowledge can change fate". She leaves the mountain to receive education and work with the support of government. Having experienced a broader world outside, she returns to the mountain to plant seeds of hope for other girls. The delicate and healing pictures in this book carry great power. The stretching mountain and the lush forests trigger boundless imaginations, embodying the thirst of girls deep in the mountain for learning knowledge and exploring the outside world. While the problems with girls' education in impoverished areas as reflected by the book have great realistic implications, the book applauds selfless educators for their finite contribution to the infinite educational cause, empowering more girls to live more open and brighter lives.

Gedichte
by Christian Lehnert
Christian Lehnert ist ein Dichter, der sich Zeit läßt, einer, für den Zeit offenbar in einem ganz anderen Rhythmus verläuft. Das mag damit zusammenhängen, daß die Orte seiner Gedichte mit dem hiesigen Alltag zunächst wenig zu tun zu haben scheinen: es sind Orte der geschichtlichen Überlieferung, der Bibel, Orte in Palästina, im Nahen Osten, in Spanien - Stationen seines Lebenswegs, der den noch nicht 35jährigen von Sachsen aus in die Ferne führte und wieder zurück in einen kleinen Ort bei Dresden, wo Christian Lehnert heute als Pfarrer arbeitet. Lehnert hört "auf die Sätze, die aus der Stille heraufsickern", er gibt dem Schläfer poetische Stimme, dem Soldaten, dem Physiker oder dem taubstummen Tänzer, besingt den Vulkan, die Autobahn, die Brache in einer Sprache äußerster Verdichtung, die nie auf Effekte aus ist.
