John, Jesus, and History, Volume 5

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NONFICTION**A FOYLES TOP TEN READ FOR FEBRUARY | A 2026 HIGHLIGHT IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES, EVENING STANDARD AND THE BOOKSELLER A meeting place for Europe's bohemian artists. A headquarters of the Nazi occupation. A shelter for camp survivors. This is the true story of how one Paris hotel came to hold the weight of a century. The Hotel Lutetia is a Paris institution, the only 'grand' hotel on the city's bohemian Left Bank. Ever since it opened, it has served as a meeting place for artists, musicians and politicians. André Gide took his lunch here, James Joyce lived in one of its rooms, Picasso and Matisse were regular guests. It has a darker history, too. During one short period, it became a focus for some of the most dramatic and terrible events in recent history.In the 1930s the Hotel Lutetia attracted intellectuals and political activists, forced to flee their homes when Hitler came to power, who met here with the hope of forming an alternative government. But when war came, Paris was occupied, and the hotel became the headquarters of the German military intelligence service - and the centre of their operation to root out enemies of the Reich. In 1945, the Lutetia was requisitioned once more, this time transformed into a reception centre for deportees returning from concentration camps.Hotel Exile is about what happens on the edges of a war. At its heart are three groups of people connected to a place, to one another, and to the dark ideology which dictates the course of their lives. A masterpiece of empathy and concision, Jane Rogoyska's extraordinary new book offers us a vision of individual human beings desperately trying to find a path through some of the twentieth century's most devastating events.

Anschließend an bisherige Forschungserkenntnisse zu Robert Musils Rezeption und Integration der Bibel in seinem literarischen wie essayistischen Œuvre untersuchen die Beiträge des Bandes interdiskursive Vernetzungen zwischen Dichtung und Religion(swissenschaft) bzw. Literatur und Theologie aus historischer wie systematischer Perspektive. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei neben allgemeinen biblischen Bezügen Musils Verständnis von "Gott" in der gesamten Bandbreite: zwischen dessen Abwesenheit oder Fehlen in der weiteren Nachfolge Nietzsches einerseits und dessen All- oder gar Übergegenwart in - sei es mathematisch oder künstlerisch - säkularisierter Form andererseits. Aus diesem Changieren zwischen Hoffnung auf Parusie und Erwartung der Apokalypse lässt sich eine Ahnung gewinnen, welchen Erkenntnisgewinn sich der österreichische Schriftsteller von dem versprach, was er gegen Ende seines Lebens unter dem Stichwort "Laientheologie" skizzierte.

Very Short Introductions

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring 

How can we remember certain events from our childhood as if they happened yesterday and then forget we did last week? Why does our memory seem to work well at some times but not at others? What happens when it goes wrong? Can memory be improved or manipulated by psychological techniques, or even 'brain implants'? How does memory grow and change as we age? And what of so-called 'recovered' memories?

This Very Short Introduction brings together the latest research in neuroscience and psychology to address these important questions around the science of memory. It weaves case studies, anecdotes, and even literature and philosophy into its explanations of how memory works and why we can't live without it. This edition includes major updates that take into account recent developments in our understanding of memory, especially in areas such as sleep and healthy aging.


ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

A Very Short Introduction

Memory

'The best book on "story" that I have ever read' Jimmy McGovern 'A masterpiece . . . genius - funny and wise and occasionally profound' Billy Ivory A masterclass in telling stories - and how they shape our world - from the internationally renowned narrative expert To command narrative is to control a sometimes frightening power. What is it that turbocharges some tales, and how is it possible to harness that potency? John Yorke has revolutionised our understanding of story structure. In this new book he delves deeper - into how to put that structure to work in the world. Trip to the Moon takes us on a journey not just through drama and fiction but through politics, religion and non-western narrative, to seek out the role of story in all our lives, examining how to utilise its lessons to create life-changing tales - and, in a world aflame with conspiracy theories, to guard ourselves against their darker purpose too. Revealing the artful symmetry and underlying principles that connect Summer beach reads to Classical Chinese poetry, superhero flicks to Russian arthouse, and classical rhetoric to state propaganda, Yorke makes dazzling connections that show how stories have the power to transfigure the chaos of our existence into a new equilibrium, and make the world anew.

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead. This how-to guide explains how to structure your last few years of employment so that you retire well and feel good about it. Drawing on engaging personal stories from across academia, it shares concrete tips for letting go of one key phase of life and embracing the opportunity to reinvent yourself in the next. On Retiring makes the case that you have the ultimate say in charting your path through retirement, aging, and whatever comes next after academia--and provides the guidance you need to do so. Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique. She outlines the four-year retirement plan she developed for herself and suggest some steps colleges and universities can take to honor the service of faculty members and help them to stay connected after retirement. Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.

LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2026 From the Women's Prize-shortlisted author of First Love, The Palm House is a sharply observed, slyly funny novel of enduring friendships and small mercies. 'This goes straight onto my list of favourite modern novels' - The Times 'One of our finest novelists of constrained fury: nobody writes better' - The Observer 'Mesmerising . . . confirms Riley as one of Britain's best' - The Telegraph 'A slim, impeccably controlled story that contains multitudes' - The Guardian Laura and Putnam have been friends for a long time. Theirs is a happy meeting of minds, with long evenings spent huddled in an ancient pub by the Thames, where they share office gossip, reflect on their teenage passions, and lament the state of the world. Recently, though, Putnam has been harder to reach: he has lost his father, and the magazine to which he has dedicated his life has been hijacked by an insufferable new editor, Simon 'call me Shove' Halfpenny. Laura has her own problems: with a prickly mother and a tricky past, and in a beautiful and indifferent city, her day-to-day life is precarious. But as Putnam starts to sink into despondency, she must try to bring him back. The Palm House offers us Gwendoline Riley's trademark keen observation and wit, and leaves us - somehow - with a curious sense of possibility. It is a slender masterpiece from one of Britain's finest prose stylists. 'I love this book' - Sarah Perry, award-winning author of The Essex Serpent 'Outstandingly brilliant' - Claire-Louise Bennett, award-winning author of Big Kiss, Bye-Bye 'Riley's prose is so electric, so alive with humour and insight and passion, that by the end you will want to stand up and cheer' - Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting Named a Most Anticipated Book for 2026 by: Financial Times, The Times, The Observer, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, New Statesman, Good Housekeeping, Country &amp; Town House, Shortlist, The New York Times, Irish Times, Vulture, LitHub and BBC Culture.

In this study, Ittai Gradel and Nils Arne Pedersen develop a new approach to the apocryphal Testament of Solomon by combining archaeology and textual analysis. The starting point is a group of ten 3rd-century rings, each inscribed in Greek: "Solomon says: 'Watch out!'" The phrase, puzzling as an apotropaic formula, makes sense only in light of the Testament of Solomon, where the king, empowered by a divine ring, subjugates demons. In a climactic episode, Solomon orders two demons to support a massive column until the Day of Judgment - precisely with the words "Watch out!" This unique command, permanently binding the demons, explains its adoption in everyday magical practice.
 

 The rings, securely dated, establish a 2nd-century date for the original version of the text and invite new reflections on its literary shape and development. While the preserved Testament alternates between first-person and third-person narration, the inscriptions suggest that the original form was a longer third-person narrative later abbreviated and reworked. From this basis, the authors develop a theory of its redactional history.
 

 The evidence points toward popular Christianity distinct from the patristic mainstream. Several rings display Christian iconography, one was linked to the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena, and parallels to Jewish Solomonic traditions are also apparent. Alexandria emerges as a plausible place of origin. The interdisciplinary synthesis - archaeology, history of religions, apocryphal studies, and folklore - generates fresh perspectives.
 

 The appendices enrich this contribution with translations of previously inaccessible versions of the Testament of Solomon, including one that contains a newly attested agraphon ascribed to Jesus, as well as a new edition and translation of a Syriac narrative. In this way, the authors significantly reposition the Testament of Solomon within the history of ancient religion and literature.

Volume IV - Writings

Most English Bibles tell you what the text says. They do not show you how the Hebrew works. The Hebrew Foundations Bible is designed to change that.
This interlinear edition of the Torah places the Hebrew text at the center of the reading experience, equipping readers to engage Scripture in its original language-even at an early stage of learning. Each Hebrew word is supported by a clear transliteration, a disambiguated Strong's number, and a concise lexical gloss, enabling readers to recognize vocabulary, follow grammatical structure, and begin thinking in Hebrew as they read.
Unlike traditional study Bibles, the English translation does not dominate the page. A narrow column based on the World English Bible provides contextual support while intentionally keeping the focus on the Hebrew text. This design encourages a gradual shift away from dependence on translation toward direct interaction with the language itself.
The layout is built for progression. Beginners gain orientation, intermediate readers reinforce patterns, and advanced readers track structure and nuance more closely. Over time, the reader moves from relying on aids to reading with increasing confidence and fluency.
This edition also includes variant notes highlighting significant textual differences preserved in the Masoretic tradition, ancient versions, and modern textual scholarship. Introductory material and reference charts provide guidance on the Hebrew writing system, transliteration conventions, and essential grammatical features.
The Hebrew Foundations Bible is intended for students, pastors, teachers, and serious readers who desire more than translation-those who want to see how the Hebrew text actually works. Volume IV contains the Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, 1 Chronicles, and 2 Chronicles

The sixth book in the multi-million-copy bestselling series about a cosy Japanese cafe that offers its visitors the chance to travel back in time. In a special seat in a fabled Tokyo cafe, you're offered something irresistible - not just a warm, comforting coffee, but the chance to go back in time to revisit the ones you love . . . In Before I knew I loved you, Toshikazu Kawaguchi takes us back to the warm heart of the mysterious Funiculi Funicula Cafe, with another four guests whose luminous stories of love, lost and won again, will reaffirm your belief in its eternal potential. In this book, we meet: - The girl who wishes to make amends with the mother she never accepted - The man who waited for a reply from his girlfriend, and never heard from her - The woman anxious to travel ahead to know what her future holds - The student who travels back to meet his father again, who passed away many years before. Yet the same rules always apply - you must return before the coffee gets cold. And while it does, memories are revisited, people are changed forever, and the enduring power of love transcends the boundaries of time. The sixth book in the phenomenal, bestselling series, translated from Japanese, Before I knew I loved you asks the irresistible question: what would you do if you were offered the chance to go back in time?

Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament

In his collected essays on international biblical intertextuality research, Stefan Alkier demonstrates what distinguishes the concept of intertextuality when both components - the spatial "inter" and the theoretical "textuality" - are taken at face value. In doing so, he highlights the innovative and productive contributions this concept makes to the exegesis of biblical texts. At the center is a decentralizing concept of meaning generation that takes into account the semiotic dynamics, performativity, complexity, and limitations of interpretive processes, as well as the inexhaustible richness of biblical texts in their intertextual and intermedial relationships and respective communicative contexts. Through concepts from intertextuality research, fundamental questions of human communication are thus brought into discussion: What can be meant by the "meaning" of a text, where and how is this meaning to be sought or constructed, and what characterizes the sign structure of a text? While the hermeneutic tradition of historical-critical exegesis is oriented toward the preposition "in" and presupposes a fixable locus of meaning, the preposition "inter" replaces the notion of a singular locus of meaning with a dynamic space of textual relationships that are constantly re-performed through the creative work of text producers and text recipients. The essays included in this volume offer a representative selection of Stefan Alkier's contributions to international intertextuality research over the past 25 years. The epilogue features an annotated bibliography looking back on 40 years of intertextuality research, as well as a previously unpublished in-depth interview with Richard B. Hays, the founder of New Testament intertextuality research, who passed away in 2025.
