Critics since the eighteenth century have puzzled over the form of James Thomson’s composite long poem, The Seasons (1730, 1744, 1746), its generically hybrid make-up, and its relationship to established genres both Classical and modern. The textual condition of the work is complicated by the fact that it started as a stand-alone poem, Winter (1726), but was subsequently expanded—as part of a revision process that lasted almost two decades—through the addition of three further seasons poem...

If cinema can be approached as poetry and philosophy, it is because of Jean Epstein.

This book is the first in English to examine his oeuvre comprehensively.An avant-garde artist and an anti-elitist intellectual, Epstein wanted to craft moments of pure transformative cinema.

We all have images that we find unwatchable, whether for ethical, political, or sensory and affective reasons. From news coverage of terror attacks to viral videos of police brutality, and from graphic horror films to transgressive artworks, many of the images in our media culture might strike us as unsuitable for viewing. Yet what does it mean to proclaim something “unwatchable”: disturbing, revolting, poor, tedious, or literally inaccessible?With over 50 original essays by leadin...

Will this happen before, after, or during what is known as the Great Tribulation? Multiple New Testament passages provide the answer with clear and precise language, and yet Christians have debated this topic for generations. It's time to set our assumptions aside and allow Scripture to speak as we find the true, biblical order of end-time events.

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Each planet in the solar system was named for a Roman god, and by extension, a Greek god as well. Was this just a few ancient astronomers honoring the ancient gods . . . or was it something else? Craig Driscoll, a forty-something-year-old history professor at Boston University discovers that it is the latter. The goddess Juno appears to him with a dilemma. The gods have taken to the heavens in a way no one could have predic...
