Эта книга расскажет о том, как в христианской иконографии священное переплеталось с комичным, монструозным и непристойным. Многое из того, что сегодня кажется возмутительным святотатством, в Средневековье, эпоху почти всеобщей религиозности, было вполне в порядке вещей. Речь пойдёт об обезьянах на полях древних текстов, непристойных фигурах на стенах церквей и о святых в монструозном обличье.

At the heart of Tolkienian fantasy is "recovery," a "cleaning of the windows" of our perception that we may learn to see the world again in all its strange beauty. And, for Tolkien, to recover the world anew is to recover a sense of the world as a meaningful act of creation by a living and loving Creator. How does Tolkien accomplish this? Through "sub-creation" or mythopoeia, the "fashioning of myth." For it is in creating an imaginary world ourselves through poetry, fairy-story, and myth that we come to "see" our "primary world" as itself an act of creation.

In How Catholics Encounter the Bible, award-winning biblical scholar and historian Michael Peppard explores the paradoxical role of the Bible for Catholics—a book central to their tradition, but not usually in the form of a book. Biblical ideas and beliefs are more often mediated through diverse modes of storytelling, artistic imagination, and ritual.

The Old Testament is not merely a collection of ancient writings; it is the heartbeat of history, the foundation of faith, and the unshakable framework upon which the world’s moral, spiritual, and cultural fabric has been woven. It is a saga of triumphs and tragedies, a testament to divine promises and human frailty. In its pages, we encounter the raw power of creation, the depths of human rebellion, and the unyielding grace of a God who remains faithful despite our failings.
