Why Single Evangelical Women Are Leaving the Church

Learning to Read St. Augustine's Confessions James Boyd White

Katie Gaddini

The Struggle to Stay is an intimate and insightful portrait of single women’s experiences in evangelical churches.

James Boyd White invites readers to join him in a close and engaged encounter with St. Augustine’s Confessions. He offers an accessible guide to reading the text in Latin—even for those who have never studied the language— guiding readers to experience the immediacy, urgency, and vitality of Augustine’s writing.

Barbary Captives

Malebranche

An Anthology of Early Modern Slave Memoirs by Europeans in North Africa

Theological Figure, Being 2 Alain Badiou

Translated by Jason E. Smith with Susan Spitzer

Edited by Mario Klarer

Introduction by Jason E. Smith

In the early modern period, hundreds of thousands of Europeans, both men and women, were abducted by pirates, sold on the slave market, and enslaved in North Africa. Barbary Captives brings together a selection of early modern slave narratives in English translation for the first time.

Alain Badiou offers a tour-de-force encounter with a lesser-known seventeenth-century philosopher and theologian, Nicolas Malebranche, a contemporary and peer of Spinoza and Leibniz. The seminar is at once a record of Badiou’s thought at a key moment and a lively interrogation of Malebranche’s key text, the Treatise on Nature and Grace.
