In Fear Not!, critic Josh Larsen makes the case that monster movies, creature features, slashers, and other fright films artfully reflect our deep worries in a way that resonates with the Christian experience. Combining critical observation and theological reflection, Larsen devotes each chapter to a different horror subgenre, connecting that subgenre to a commonly shared fear.

Com clareza e vigor, ele explica por que "o cristão é alguém cuja imaginação deve voar além das estrelas".

In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci began what would become one of history’s most influential works of art—The Last Supper. After a decade at the court of Lodovico Sforza, the duke of Milan, Leonardo was at a low point: at forty-three, he had failed, despite a number of prestigious commissions, to complete anything that truly fulfilled his astonishing promise.

Когда речь заходит об архитектуре, мы тотчас ясно представляем себе предмет, ведь архитектура окружает нас повсюду и сопровождает всю жизнь. Но когда заходит речь об архитекторах – то былая ясность исчезает, предмет разговора начинает скрываться в тумане, хотя имена авторов самых знаменитых зданий многие хорошо знают – Палладио или Корбюзье, Баженов или Растрелли, все мы слышали об этих гениальных зодчих.

What does it mean to call something "new"? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change? In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artifacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it.

Fils illégitime privé de formation universitaire, son approche autodidacte dans quantités de domaines garantit l’originalité de cet esprit universel qui fut bien plus que l’auteur de La Joconde ou l’inventeur de machines volantes. Il fut également un anatomiste de renom, un ingénieur, un philosophe, un architecte et un inventeur.
