** Zionism, Mission, and the Episcopal Church
------------------------------------------------------------
Review by Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski
Among Episcopalians, antipathy toward Zionism often veered into racial antisemitism and theological anti-Judaism. What would it take for Anglican advocacy for the rights and dignity of Palestinians to finally fully divest it of anti-Jewish bias? Read the review ([link removed]) .

** The Seriousness of Trivial Things
------------------------------------------------------------
Review by Eugene R. Schlesinger
The best-known issues leading to the great East-West schism include the Filioque and the primacy of the Pope.

** Reflections Worth Taking Your Time
------------------------------------------------------------
Review by Marcia Hotchkiss
The author has a knack for clearly stating the human needs highlighted by each devotional entry. In an entry titled “Choose Life!” she thanks God for the Holy Spirit, who “leads and guides me into all truth.” We liturgical sorts can easily forget that the Spirit brings more transformation than our own efforts do.

------------------------------------------------------------
Review by J. Peter Pham
More than 400 years after the original, a new Book of Martyrs has the same ambition: to glory in the sacrifice of the victims and record the infamy of their persecutors. It is as true in the 21st century as it was in the second that the blood of martyrs is the Church’s seed. Read the review ([link removed]) .

------------------------------------------------------------
Review by Rob Price
Hudson Stuck was an adventurer with a prayer book in his hand and wanderlust in his heart -- an intrepid churchman and missionary whose greatest accomplishments were made off the mountain’s peak. Read the review. ([link removed])
