    How an Idea Got Lost in History

    by Stanley E. Porter ...

Since then, their idea has virtually disappeared from New Testament scholarship, to be revived in this monograph. When Paul Met Jesus is an exercise in both biblical exegesis and intellectual history. After examining the ... Read more

  • The Popes and Britain

    A History of Rule, Rupture and Reconciliation

    by Dr Stella Fletcher ...
    When the British thought of themselves as a Protestant nation their natural enemy was the pope and they adapted their view of history accordingly.
