![]() ![]() Pagels: So far as I know, all the so-called "fathers of the church" glorified martyrdom. You write that he conveyed "the urgency of someone who wants to unmask what he feels is the hideous folly of leaders who encourage people to get themselves killed in this way." Whom might he have meant?" TIME: You and Karen write that the "Judas" author was angry, particularly at the Christian church's developing cult of martyrdom. She breaks new ground with the debut of Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity, her collaboration with Harvard Divinity scholar Karen King about the second-century "Gospel of Judas" that was made public last year. ![]() It is largely through her work that many understand the early non-Orthodox Christianity that she at one point dubbed (and later un-dubbed, finding the term imprecise) the Gnostic Gospels.

It’s Germany, however, that wins for the most creative title alteration. Belgium and the Netherlands have taken a similar route, except they didn’t bother with a translation at all, just a truncation of the English version: The Guernsey Literary Society. ![]() France has done away with all mention of tubers in its version, leaving the more dignified title Le Cercle Littéraire de Guernesey, or “The Literary Circle of Guernesey,” using the French spelling for the island’s name, as is appropriate. ![]() A bookstore worker in Reykjavík told me that the novel’s Icelandic title, Bokmennta- og Kartöflubökufélagið, translates roughly to Literature and Potato Pie Club, which is still an unmanageable number of syllables but at least saves considerably on cover space. In some other countries, translators have found ways to refer to the film that won’t leave locals gasping for air. ![]() ![]() ![]() Because if the colony collapses?

This popularity alone is not necessarily worth scholarly analysis, but clearly Patrick W. While the subject matter of the book is analyzed academically, the content is fascinating enough (and the size of the book small enough) to appeal to a more general audience-particularly if they are fans of the band, or of Japanese popular culture more generally.įormed in 2005, AKB48 is now the most commercially successful female group in Japan (which is itself the second largest music market in the world). This particular volume provides an in-depth analysis of the girl group AKB48 (so named because of its origins in the Akihabara district in Tokyo, and the originally intended 48 group members). ![]() AKB48 is a short monograph that is part of the broader series of books called “33 1/3 Japan.” This series aims to provide a deep dive into contemporary Japanese popular music, ranging from the soundtrack of Cowboy Bebop (the classic anime series) to the music of Hatsune Miku (a vocaloid star). ![]() ![]() ![]() He had no particular ideas, other than to safeguard his brother’s power. Nicolás had been a competent naval engineer, but in government he quickly morphed into a self-indulgent bureaucrat. There was little in the way of political development, however, such matters remaining in the inexperienced hands of Franco’s brother Nicolás, head of the general secretariat of the chief of state. Politics had been proscribed, with all the rightist forces supporting the new regime, and only the Falange- Spain’s original “fascist” movement-engaged in proselytism, though it was careful not to get in the way of military administration. During his first months in power, Franco concentrated on military affairs and diplomatic relations. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lowry continued to care for her children and write a large number of children’s books throughout the 1980s and 90s. It was also in this year that Lowry divorced her husband.
