Del padre Pío a Carlo Acutis, pasando por nombres imprescindibles, estas vidas demuestran que los santos también son imperfectos. Antes de ser venerados, muchos santos fueron cuestionados. ¿Qué hubo detrás de la fama, los milagros y las devociones? ¿Qué significa realmente ser santo? José María Zavala, autor de la novela El profeta, se adentra en la cara menos conocida de algunas de las figuras más influyentes de la Iglesia: persecuciones, dudas, escándalos, errores, campañas de descrédito y, en ocasiones, el golpe más doloroso: el ataque que llega desde dentro.

The Protestant Reformation is often associated most closely with Martin Luther, and it’s often considered to have started when Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. However, the Reformation cannot be reduced to a single, abrupt, and exceptional event, but must be traced to a much longer process of spiritual, social, and intellectual transformation that unfolded over the late medieval period.

To say that the Christian Church has an "image problem" doesn't quite capture it. From the Crusades and the Inquisition to the racism and abuse present in today's Church—both in Catholic and Protestant traditions—the institution that Christ established on earth has a lot to answer for. But the Church has also had moments throughout history when it has been in tune with Jesus' teachings—from the rise of charity to the invention of hospitals. John Dickson gives an honest account of the mixed history of Christianity, the evil and the good.

Today there is a diversity crisis. Biodiversity loss is at the level of mass extinction. Cultural diversity is also being lost, with migration, modernisation, and language loss. The roots of this crisis lie in the 4th century CE. In this century, the Roman Church set its sights on creating a universal church. With the god of Judaism at its centre, it aimed to spread to all nations. The central commandment of this faith passed on by Moses is that there can only be one god. No other gods can be tolerated.

In 2015, the historian Chris Momany helped discover a manuscript that had been forgotten in a storage closet at Adrian College in Michigan. He identified it as the journal of a nineteenth-century Christian abolitionist and missionary, David Ingraham. As Momany and a fellow historian Doug Strong pored over the diary, they realized that studying this document could open new conversations for twenty-first-century Christians to address the reality of racism today. They invited a multiracial team of fourteen scholars to join in, thus launching the Dialogue on Race and Faith Project.
