Set at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the English Reformation, The Seduction of Almighty God describes the spiritual ascendancy of an adolescent priest and the apalling discovery that he possesses the power of life and death over others, both religious and secular. Victimised by his brethren and eventually murdered by his female followers, the youth Loftus argues himself into the belief that God, weary of his own impotence, has devolved His powers upon him... Barker's interest in the Christian faith and the phenomenon of prayer finds expression in a number of his works, from The Last Supper and Two Skulls to the mass of parables that constitutes The Ecstatic Bible.

I was 20 years of age when the Lord saved me. My new life in Christ was filled with many blessings, deliverance, joy and hope. Yet, someone forgot to tell me that being saved was not all happy times. I learned quickly that being saved meant suffering, persecution, being attacked spiritually, having my faith challenged and a being hurt by fellow Christians in the church. After 20 years of "going through," whether by self-imposed circumstances or those that were imposed by others, God spoke to my heart about perseverance, longsuffering and endurance. He reminded me that He was yet in the midst of my suffering, disobedience and backslidden condition molding and shaping me into a useable vessel for kingdom building. He reminded me of who I am in Him, who He is in me and why I had to go through what I went through. The Making of You speaks to every Christian believer, new and mature, that has ever wondered, "Why me?" We are wonderfully and fearfully made in the image of God, yet it is through adversity that we learn to grow in grace unto spiritual maturity. This book will help you in your journey.

The Politics and Poetics of Contemporary English Tragedy is a detailed study of the idea of the tragic in the political plays of David Hare, Howard Barker, Edward Bond, Caryl Churchill, Mark Ravenhill, Sarah Kane, and Jez Butterworth. Through an in-depth analysis of over sixty of their works, Sean Carney argues that their dramatic exploration of tragic experience is an integral part of their ongoing politics. This approach allows for a comprehensive rather than selective study of both the politics and poetics of their work. Carney’s attention to the tragic enables him to find a common discourse among the canonical English playwrights of an older generation and representatives of the nineties generation, challenging the idea that there is a sharp generational break between these groups. Finally, Carney demonstrates that tragic experience is often denied by the social discourse of Englishness, and that these playwrights make a crucial critical intervention by dramatizing the tragic.
