Some manuscripts are written to be understood.This one was written to survive.Hidden beneath its strange plants and naked figures, the Voynich Manuscript — long dismissed as a hoax or unbreakable code — may have been something else entirely: a container of emotion, preserved for centuries, waiting for a mind that could feel its meaning.In The Codex of the Last Emotion, we follow the reconstructed story of a lone observer — the final witness to a dying experiment in h...

Is discipleship about personal sanctification or social reform?Believers are divided on a question central to Christian identity: what does it mean to follow Jesus? For centuries, imitating Christ meant the pursuit of holiness, conforming the self to Jesus through self-sacrifice in order to join him in eternal life.

In Paul's letters above all I have found the quality of mind and the depth of conviction that could arouse in me both excitement and passion.
