Church History
The Life and Labors of Bishop [William Hobart] Hare: Apostle to the Sioux, by M.A. DeWolfe Howe (1911). William Hobart Hare (1838-1909) was the first Bishop of Niobrara, a missionary jurisdiction established by the Episcopal Church in 1873 to minister to the Sioux people. By 1900, he had confirmed some 7,000 Native Americans and established schools, parishes and missionary institutions throughout South Dakota. This biography traces his life through pioneering ministry at Niobrara, travels to China and Japan and as an advocate of the rights of Native Americans. He was the grandson of John Henry Hobart (1775-1830), third Bishop of New York.

Worth Noting
Herbs from the Bible, by Patricia Armstrong is the lead book review in The Tablet this week and you may find this link no longer works next week. But do try it. 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.'
