This is the extended and annotated edition including * an extensive annotation of more than 5.000 words about the history and evolution of the book we call 'The Bible' 'The Didache' or 'The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles' is a brief early Christian treatise, dated by most scholars to the late first or early 2nd century. The first line of this treatise is "Teaching of the Lord to the Gentiles (or Nations) by the Twelve Apostles". The text, parts of which constitute the oldest surviving written catechism, has three main sections dealing with Christian ethics, rituals such as baptism and Eucharist, and Church organization. It is considered the first example of the genre of the Church Orders. The work was considered by some of the Church Fathers as part of the New Testament but rejected as spurious or non-canonical by others, eventually not accepted into the New Testament canon. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church "broader canon" includes the Didascalia, a work which draws on the Didache. (courtesy of wikipedia.com)

Bridget of Sweden (1303 to 1373; also Birgitta of Vadstena, Saint Birgitta, was a mystic and saint, and founder of the Bridgettines after the death of her husband of twenty years. She was also the mother of Catherine of Vadstena. As a child, she had already believed herself to have visions; these became more frequent, and her records of these "Celestial revelations" which were translated into Latin by Matthias, canon of Linköping, and by her confessor, Peter, prior of Alvastra, obtained a great vogue during the Middle Ages. Her visions of the Nativity of Jesus had a great influence on depictions of the Nativity of Jesus in art. Shortly before her death, she described a vision which included the infant Jesus as lying on the ground, and emitting light himself, and describes the Virgin as blond-haired; many depictions followed this and reduced other light sources in the scene to emphasize this effect, and the Nativity remained very commonly treated with chiaroscuro through to the Baroque. Other details often seen such as a single candle "attached to the wall," and the presence of God the Father above, also come from Bridget's vision. This edition contains all that is known today of the visions and prophecies of Saint Brigdet and most of her prayers.

In the Authorized Version of the Epistle of Jude, we read the following words:-- "Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands, of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." Modern research sees in the Epistle of Jude a work of the second century: but as orthodox theologians accept its contents as the inspired utterance of an Apostle, let us diligently search the Hebrew Scriptures for this important forecast of the second Advent of the Messiah. In vain we turn over the pages of the sacred Canon; not even in the Apocrypha can we trace one line from the pen of the marvellous being to whom uninterrupted immortality is assigned by apostolic interpretation of Genesis v. 24. Were the prophecies of Enoch, therefore, accepted as a Divine revelation on that momentous day when Jesus explained the Scriptures, after his resurrection, to Jude and his apostolic brethren; and have we moderns betrayed our trust by excluding an inspired record from the Bible?

<b>L'inspecteur Sweeney mène l'enquête en Irlande.</b> <br> <br> George Lawless est le ministre écossais de l'éducation. Bel homme, athlétique et toujours avenant, il est pour beaucoup d'observateurs le futur Premier ministre du pays. <br> Ou plutôt? « il était ». Car là, avec le canon d'un fusil G3 dans la bouche, et cette balle dans le crâne, il est à craindre que son avenir ne vienne brutalement de s'assombrir... <br> "Une affaire banale, même si le « suicidé » était un ministre ; des pistes multiples s'offraient à nous - jalousie politique, prostitution, activisme irlandais - mais j'en avais déjà démêlé de plus complexes. <br> En revanche, ce que j'ignorais, c'était à quel point la mort de Lawless était intimement liée à ma propre histoire, tissant une toile funeste entre Belfast et Edimbourg. <br> Ma vie allait s'en trouver bouleversée.

Le jeune policier fut impressionné par la grande taille du cadavre, probablement parce que l’homme portait un long costume bleu rayé, et que le fusil, qu’il tenait encore entre ses mains, courait du bas du bassin jusque dans la bouche. L’enquêteur s’efforça d’ignorer l’horreur rougeâtre qui auréolait la tête, pour se concentrer sur le visage : <i>Une seule balle</i>, jugea-t-il rapidement. <i>Elle a dû se ficher dans l’oreiller ou peut-être même dans le mur, là derrière… Et puis c’est étrange, mais j’ai l’impression de le connaître. Oui, on dirait…</i> <br> – C’est bien lui, le devança Wilkinson, comme s’il venait de lire dans ses pensées.

<b>Ce passionnant roman historique revient sur les terribles épisodes de chasse au sorcière au Moyen âge.</b> <br> <br>Un habitant du village qui meurt accidentellement ou qui tombe malade, le bétail qui dépérit: tout prétexte est bon pour soupçonner quelqu’un de sorcellerie. Les autorités profitent alors de l’occasion pour juger des individus marginaux ou « gênants », femmes et hommes confondus, et montrer ainsi qu’elles font leur travail. Un geste mal interprété, un comportement étrange, voire une simple allusion à un chat noir, suffisent pour finir entre les mains du tribunal. Sous la torture, la plupart des personnes accusées avouent contre leur gré leur présumée connivence avec le diable... <i>La Sorcière de Dentervals</i> s’inspire des évènements qui se produisirent autour d’un procès pour sorcellerie en 1675 dans les Grisons. <br>Avec un effrayant réalisme, l’auteur nous raconte cette période noire, où le soupçon de sorcellerie était un motif suffisant pour condamner à mort les plus faibles <br> <br> <b>Un premier roman richement documenté et d'une vraie qualité littéraire !</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>La pie jacasse. <br>Les cerfs lèvent la tête.
