With the end of America’s wars in the Middle East, charismatic expat James Reso returns home to a deeply polarized country. Detesting President Dennis Ward's cynical authoritarianism, James and his friends create the political party Nos Populus: “We The People.” Using mass protests and audacious theatrics, Nos Populus becomes the de facto opposition to the Wardists, while James rockets to celebrity. But when a protest ends horrifically, a depressed and frustrated James becomes easy prey for his own party's most extreme elements. And after unleashing his seething obsessions about Ward, it may become a matter of ‘when,’ rather than ‘if,’ James’ long threadbare sanity finally surrenders. NOS POPULUS is a unique blend of political satire and psychological thriller about good intentions gone very awry.

Modern scholarship has examined the life and works of Robert Grosseteste (ca. 1170-1253) mainly in a philosophical or episcopal context, yet Grosseteste wrote many treatises on pastoral theology, spent some years as a regent master in theology at the University of Oxford, and maintained interest in theological discourse throughout his time as Bishop of Lincoln. This book offers the first scholarly study of Grosseteste as theologian, taking account of the whole range of his theological writing both in published and unedited sources. Ginther reveals the central focus of Grosseteste's theology as the person and work of Christ, with the person of Christ as the interpretive key by which humanity comes to see the Trinity in the created world and the means by which humanity may participate in the divine. Surveying some of the major doctrinal issues of the thirteenth century, this book offers a thorough introduction to the theology of the period.

Preaching is more than just speaking in public. The persuasion of people and the theory underlying it are precedents of modern propaganda. In his Rhetorica Ecclesiastica, Agostino Valier (1531-1606) outlines what a Catholic preacher should know before he is allowed to deliver his sermons. Closely related to Cardinal Charles Borromeo's entourage and to the directions emanating from the Council of Trent, this treatise was considered to be one of the most influential ones back in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and soon became a must for seminaries all over the world. After introducing Valier and the editorial approach he used, Manuel López-Muñoz offers a critical edition of the text aiming to recover the treatise and make it available to modern scholars.
