On Palm Sunday 1964, at the Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, a group of black and white students began a "kneel-in" to protest the church's policy of segregation, a protest that would continue in one form or another for more than a year and eventually force the church to open its doors to black worshippers. In The Last Segregated Hour, Stephen Haynes tells the story of this dramatic yet little studied tactic which was the strategy of choice for bringing attention to segregationist policies in Southern churches.

Since they were first discovered in the caves at Qumran, in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have aroused more fascination - and more controversy - than perhaps any other archaeological find. They appear to have been hidden in the Judean desert by the Essenes, a Jewish sect that existed around the time of Jesus, and they continue to inspire veneration and conspiracy theories to this day. John Collins tells the story of the bitter conflicts that have swirled around the scrolls since their startling discovery, and sheds light on their true significance for Jewish and Christian history.

During its 2,500-year life, the book of Genesis has been the keystone to almost every important claim about reality, humanity, and God in Judaism and Christianity. And it continues to play a central role in debates about science, politics, and human rights. With clarity and skill, acclaimed biblical scholar Ronald Hendel provides a panoramic history of this iconic book, exploring its impact on Western religion, philosophy, science, politics, literature, and more.

Before the Revolutionary War, America was a nation divided by different faiths. But when the war for independence sparked in 1776, colonists united under the banner of religious freedom. Evangelical frontiersmen and Deist intellectuals set aside their differences to defend a belief they shared, the right to worship freely. Inspiring an unlikely but powerful alliance, it was the idea of religious liberty that brought the colonists together in the battle against British tyranny.

Although raised Roman Catholic, Susan Stabile was ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun and devoted 20 years of her life to practicing Buddhism before returning to Catholicism in 2001. In Growing in Love and Wisdom, she draws on this unique dual perspective to explore the value of interreligious dialogue, the spiritual dynamics that operate across faith traditions, and how Buddhist meditation practices can deepen Christian prayer.

Confissões é uma das principais obras de Agostinho de Hipona, que inaugurou o gênero da autobiografia com esse título. Neste audiolivro que intercala orações, reflexões profundas e diálogos com Deus, o autor descreve seus pensamentos, seu processo de conversão, suas angústias e suas experiências de vida. Agostinho elaborou uma nova forma de fazer filosofia baseada, não só em conceitos abstratos, mas principalmente na observação de movimentos psicológicos, motivações interiores e significados de pequenos gestos cotidianos.

O Peregrino inicia com um poema no qual descreve os motivos para a obra e a razão de usar formas alegóricas (semelhante aos autos do teatro medieval) para contar a aventura do viajante que se encontra com personagens de carne e osso, mas que possuem nomes simbólicos que remetem ao evangelho de Jesus Cristo, como Evangelista, Adulação, Malicia, Apoliom e Vigilância. Um clássico cristão que ainda hoje tem um importante papel como guia sobre a perseverança em meio a dificuldades.

“Como é duro e, ao mesmo tempo, gratificante desobedecer! Por aí tracei meus caminhos.” Os traços de Ivone irradiam vida, luta, justiça e esperança. Tornou-se freira aos vinte e dois anos, optou por viver ao lado daqueles que mais necessitam, foi silenciada pelo Vaticano, é feminista e favorável à legalização do aborto. São mais de sete décadas vivendo a desobediência com a energia dos adolescentes que teimam em acreditar na esperança e num mundo menos desigual e opressor. Ivone reflete sobre o seu agora: habitar a velhice, nas suas palavras, enquanto a lucidez ainda a habita.

O Pai-Nosso é uma das orações mais recitadas em todo o mundo, mas poucas pessoas compreendem a profundidade das mensagens que ela traz. Com a intenção de desvendar os segredos ocultos nas palavras de Jesus e de revelar o poder transformador dessa prece, Augusto Cury escreveu a coleção Os segredos do Pai-Nosso. Embora os dois audiolivros se complementem, eles podem ser ouvidos de forma independente, pois abordam temas distintos: o primeiro estuda as características de Deus e o segundo, A sabedoria nossa de cada dia, trata da personalidade humana, seus dilemas e conflitos.
