This book discusses the supernatural in Scripture, including the scope and significance of events and embodiments.

To varying degrees, life can be overwhelming for many. In some cases, it seems as though problems pile upon one another, with no end in sight. For those individuals, “hope” may be only a word: a far-off , unreachable concept. Author Lisa Noel Babbage shows readers that there is hope. In 333 Miracles, she shares her personal story, one that includes traumas such as the end of her marriage. Her personal testimony covers six months of her life but recalls more than thirty years of bondage. Babbage shares the road Jesus Christ took her on to achieve wholeness. She identifies specific principles she learned from Bible teachers that helped her on that journey to hope. 333 Miracles introduces people and relates experiences that can speak to anyone. Babbage’s openness about her experiences help readers learn how a closer relationship to God can help them reach beyond the traumas to find hope.

In this text, Paul E. Pierson, Dean Emeritus of the School of Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary, guides the reader through a missiological view of history from Christ to the present. Pierson particularly highlights the contexts by which the biblical faith moved into new and different cultures. Today, the Christian faith, is the most geographically and culturally diverse worldwide movement that exists. Paul E. Pierson's book illuminates how this amazing fact has come about and how the trend will continue.

This unique study of the cult of the Virgin Mary offers a way of thinking about the interrelations of Catholicism and ideas of ideal femininity over the longue duree. An ambitious history of the changing symbolism of the Mother of God, Alone of All Her Sex holds up to the light different emphases occurring at different times, and highlights that the apparent archetype of a magna mater is constantly in play with social and historical conditions and values. Marina Warner's interesting perspective was forged in the aftermath of significant postwar developments in history, anthropology, and feminism and the book inspired fierce debates when it was first published in 1976. Alone of All Her Sex is also an emotive, personal statement, arising from Warner's own upbringing as a Catholic. It picks up on classic accounts such as Mary MacCarthy's Memoirs of a Catholic Girlhood and Antonia White's Frost in May, as well as the author's own experiences at a Catholic boarding school. Highly controversial in conservative quarters, the book's arguments were welcomed and recognised by many readers who shared Warner's experiences. In this new edition, Marina Warner has written a new preface which reviews the book in the light of the current debate about secularism, faith, nations, and social identities. She takes issue with her original mistaken conclusion that the modern age would see the cult of Mary fade away and revises it in the light of recent popes' enthusiasm for the Mother of God, a fresh wave of visions and revelations, a new generation of female saints, and the reorientation of theological approaches to the woman question.
