On the Tree of the Cross Georges Florovsky and the Patristic Doctrine of Atonement Edited by Matthew Baker, Seraphim Danckaert and Nicholas Marinides
Offers incisive and informed neo-patristic voices to any contemporary discussion of atonement. Atonement is a contested but inescapable term in contemporary Englishlanguage theological discussion. The doctrine of atonement has received little attention in Orthodox Christian circles since the work of Fr Georges Florovsky. This book comprises a collection of papers on atonement by contemporary scholars from a patristic symposium in honor of Florovsky, and a collection of writings on atonement by Florovsky himself, including previously unpublished manuscripts and other works otherwise hard to access.

Islam Context and Complexity By Paul Stenhouse
Explores the background to tragic events linked to Islam. Islam is not homogeneous. Its complexity, however, is bewildering for nonMuslims, most of whom know little or nothing of Islam, and generally – like Pope Francis – see it as a peace-loving religion. Others find this claim difficult to accept in the light of the violence and cruelty perpetrated in the name of Allah by Muslim fighters. This book offers some light on the background to these tragic events unfolding across the world.
