Sommario/riassunto

Dal Santo argues that Pope Gregory the Great's 'Dialogues', which debated the nature and plausibility of the saints' miracles and the propriety of the saints' cult, should be considered from the perspective



of a wide-ranging debate which took place in early Byzantine society.

Sommario/riassunto

In this moving and intelligent book John Gillibrand, an Anglican priest, draws on his experience of caring for his non-verbal son, Adam, who has autism and is now a teenager. He reflects on how the experience has changed not just his life, but also his whole way of thinking about theology, politics and philosophy.
