Unprecedented in both scope and depth, The Faith presents the watershed events and the people~saints, heretics, inquisitors, mystics, soldiers, popes, and politicians~through which Christianity and the course of secular history have evolved. It portrays the power and beauty of a faith that has endured for so long and inspired so many. But it deals with every shade of darkness as well as light~for there is, as Moynahan notes, something of the wolf in the religion that adores the Lamb. Moynahan traces the extraordinary journey that Christianity has made from its start as a small and vulnerable sect~"They were crucified or set on fire," Tacitus wrote of Christians in Nero's Rome, "so that when darkness came they burned like torches in the night"~to the world's greatest congregation of almost two billion baptized souls. The Faith opens with the story of Jesus himself, the Resurrection, and the spreading of the Gospels. It shows how the young religion's growing power in the East, the cradle of its early monks and philosophers, was broken by the Islamic conquests, and how its energies were redirected westward into barbarian Europe. Moynahan Covers in lucid detail the intensity of the medieval faith, with its titanic cathedrals, its clashes between Islam and Christendom, and its fracture into Reformation, Catholic Counter~Reformation, and the religious dissent that drove settlers to seek religious freedom in the Americas. With objectivity and intelligence, Moynahan writes about slavery, the conquest of the New World, witch mania, the Age of Enlightenment, and America's change in the nineteenth century from an importer to the greatest exporter of new sects. He looks, too, at modern phenomena, including televangelists, the collapse of Soviet atheism, the clashes with Islam, the continuing persecution by Maoists~and the new converts that the faith continues to win. Based on little~known primary sources (including early Arabic writings), and featuring more than one hundred photographs and illustrations, this extraordinary history will be of interest to Christians of all denominations, to historians, and to every reader who seeks a fuller understanding of a force that has shaped the modern world. …

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 317 pages. Published in 2002. The author's third novel. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents John Burnham Schwartz's "Claire Marvel". A triumphant return to form. With the publication of his second novel, "Reservation Road", John Burnham Schwartz established himself as a superb storyteller as well as a writer of extraordinary grace and stunning perception. Now, with "Claire Marvel", Burnham Schwartz brings readers into a world "so real and beautifully drawn that one does not want the story to end. A chance meeting in a rainstorm becomes a defining moment of transforming emotion for graduate students Claire Marvel and Julian Rose, two people whose hearts have long been protected behind walls of wit, intelligence, and innate caution. Neither could imagine what lies in store for them: The unexpected unfolding over a dozen years of a great and difficult love. Moving between Cambridge, Massachusetts, New York City, and the hushed, timeless countryside of France, John Burnham Schwartz explores the many aspects of emotional commitment and the fear of giving oneself to another, in father-son relationships, in marriage, and in the ecstasy and elation of an elusive but compelling passion. Here is a novel that plumbs with wisdom and compassion the hidden regrets, enduring hopes, and guiding mysteries of a bond stronger than reason. Masterfully written, 'Claire Marvel' is a love story for our time, and a brilliant achievement" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for John Burnham Schwartz collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page above his printed name by John Burnham Schwartz. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most accomplished American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOHN BURNHAM SCHWARTZ TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 038550344X. Signed by Author.…
