Worth Noting
Herbs From the Bible by Patricia Armstrong is this week's lead book review in The Tablet, making it only accessible this week.The reviewer, Jack Turner, says 'A faint echo of Hildegard’s fusion of piety and herbalism can be heard in Herbs From the Bible, an idiosyncratic, unclassifiable work by Patricia Armstrong.'

Just War? Changing Society and the Churches, by Charles Reed, is reviewed this week in the Church Times by Richard Harries. 'As Charles Reed shows in this timely book, it is on the basis of these principles [just war] that, for example, a rational judgment can be made that the first Gulf War was morally justified, while the second, at the very least, was highly morally problematical.'

The Pope in Winter: The Dark Face of John Paul II’s Papacy, by John Cornwell, is reviewed in the Church Times by Robert Nowell. 'This is not so much another biography of Pope John Paul II as an assessment of his papacy, setting out his considerable achievements in that office as well as his failures, and the damage some of his actions have done to the Church....All in all, this is a book worth pondering over. It makes disturbing reading both for Roman Catholics, by bringing home the extent to which Rome has been able to nullify the achievements of Vatican II, and for Anglicans, who will find it confirming their worst fears. The problem is that there are no effective constraints on papal power.'

The Twilight of Atheism: The Rise and Fall of Disbelief in the Modern World, by Alister McGrath, is reviewed in the Church Times by Duncan Dormor. 'On the whole, McGrath’s thesis -- that "a firm and principled commitment to the non-existence of God" is born of a moral objection to the power and privilege that the Churches of Europe have historically exercised -- is convincing.'

Worth Noting
Dawkins’ God: Genes, Memes and the Meaning of Life, by Alister McGrath, is reviewed in the Church Times by Hugh Montefiore. 'Dawkins’s atheism gets its come-uppance in this splendid little book. Professor McGrath has little difficulty in showing that Dawkins’s atheist convictions are merely “tacked on to his evolutionary biology with intellectual Velcro”.'

An Ecstasy of Folly, by Laura Nasrallah, is reviewed by Peter Forster in the Church Times. 'In this scholarly book, which originated in a doctoral thesis, Dr Nasrallah traces the tradition of ecstatic prophecy from its roots in St Paul, in particular, in the New Testament, to third-century debates over the place of Charismatic prophecy in the emergent and increasingly institutionalised Church.'

The Thoughtful Guide to Faith, by Tony Windross, is reviewed in the Church Times by Bruce Duncan. 'Windross likens Christianity in modern Britain to the Labour Party during the 1980s and 1990s.'
