“... Er schrieb damit ein Buch für Anfänger und für Fortgeschrittene: für die, die es genau wissen wollen, und für die, die sich erstmals für Wagners Denken und die Fage [sic], wie er es denn gemacht habe, interessieren ... Mit einem Wort: Ein sehr wichtiges, grundlegendes Buch – und gut lesbar ist es auch noch.” (Frank Piontek, in: deropernfreund.de, Jg. 51, 4. Oktober 2022)

"This stimulating book consists of alternatives for engaging with Covid-19, &lsquo;from physical to metaphysical.&rsquo; There are 35 contributions consisting of stories, poetry, inspirations, medical information and healing modalities, and interdisciplinary analyses where the standout essays are by Richard Grossinger and Charles Eisenstein. Richard weaves together multiple and conflicting narratives and his message is to seek common ground on the basis that the virus has brought to light many long incubating crises as well as the limits and hazards of dominant scientific and medical approaches."

Strange but True Stories About the Origins of Everything We Eat

The Secret History of Food

Winner, Gourmand World Cookbook Awards&ldquo;A very accomplished piece of historical journalism and brilliant story-telling . . . Just an outright&#160;pleasure to read.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Bill Buford, bestselling author of Heat and Dirt&ldquo;Fascinating . . . Moving . . . Reveal[s] the complicated web of feelings (and morals) involved in cooking for a despot . . . A chilling read.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;Lively . . . Szab&#322;owski . . . devoted three years to tracking down and personally interviewing the cooks . . . [and]&#160;provide[s] historical context for the worlds in which these tyrants operated and makes sure we remember how evil they were, even as we read about their fondness for grilled cheese with honey or refusal to eat dried elephant meat.&rdquo; &mdash;The Wall Street Journal&ldquo;I loved the book because it hit my personal sweet spot&mdash;food and history. . . . I kept turning the pages . . . with the same gape-mouthed shock I got from reading The Orphan Master&rsquo;s Son.&rdquo; &mdash;Joel Stein, Air Mail&ldquo;Anecdotal&#160;and easy-going . .&#160;.&#160;Throughout, the chefs are rendered as compelling and complex characters. Szab&#322;owski&rsquo;s skill is to hang back from judgment . . .&#160;Like his compatriot, the literary non-fictioneer&#160;Kapu&#347;ci&#324;ski&#160;. . .&#160;Szab&#322;owski lets his subjects speak for themselves . . .&#160;[offering]&#160;behind-the-scenes glimpses of hypocrisies, capriciousness and bullying . . . [and]&#160;posing . . . universal questions about collusion and responsibility. . . .&#160;Szab&#322;owski is a limpid and gently brilliant storyteller.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Financial Times&ldquo;A&#160;fascinating journey through four continents . . . Szab&#322;owski paints a gripping picture of the autocracy seen through the eyes of tyrants&rsquo; personal chefs. It&rsquo;s delicious and devastating at the same time.&rdquo; &mdash;Karolina Wiercigroch, quoted in National Geographic&ldquo;A piquant food travelogue with dimensions that are both comic and Faulknerian, with court intrigue and betrayal so sudden that the book may as well have been titled In the Kitchen With Machiavelli . . . [The] moral ambiguity . . . is both the fascination and the horror of the book. . . . Chilling.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Bloomberg&ldquo;Fascinating.&rdquo; &mdash;Minneapolis Star Tribune&ldquo;Riveting, and utterly convincing . . . Viscerally transports us to an alien time, an alien place . . . The dictators are reanimated, transformed from creatures of mythology back into flesh and blood. . . . Exceptionally juicy.&rdquo; &mdash;The Sunday Telegraph&ldquo;Winning . . . Szab&#322;owski&rsquo;s dogged pursuit across continents was rewarded. . . . This book tells all that we know about the power of good suppers, whoever they are fed to.&rdquo; &mdash;The Spectator&ldquo;Fascinating . . . A beguiling mix of the dark and the comic, combining fancy cuisine with torture and genocide. Its tone is reminiscent of Armando Iannucci&rsquo;s recent movie The Death of Stalin, in which the absurd and the monstrous, the funny and the horrifying are so entwined as to be indivisible.&rdquo; &mdash;The Mail on Sunday&ldquo;A very special book . . .&#160;We need a new word to describe the uncomfortable hunger one feels reading this book.&rdquo; &mdash;Maclean&rsquo;s&ldquo;These are the tales from Hell&rsquo;s Kitchen&mdash;the real kitchens, in presidential palaces and retreats, where food was prepared for men so evil they seemed to be the Devil in human form.&rdquo; &mdash;Al Bawaba&ldquo;Food and history buffs will find these firsthand accounts irresistible. . . . Throughout, Szab&#322;owski entertains with disturbing rumors, such as [Idi] Amin eating human flesh (whatever the case, his chef never cooked it for him), and strange obsessions ([Fidel] Castro preferred the milk from a single cow named Ubre Blanca, or &ldquo;white udder&rdquo;). . . . These are the kinds of stories only a chef could know.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Its originality and topicality in a world increasingly governed by political strongmen [are] intriguing. . . . The author shares intimate historical insights into the meaning of life under dictatorship.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Fascinating . . . A new perspective on horrible people . . . Interesting anecdotal revelations . . . The chefs&rsquo; biographical narratives . . . present variations on the themes of rare opportunity, terrifying pressure, and lives permanently warped by proximity to power and cruelty.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist&ldquo;A great book . . . Really a fascinating idea. It&rsquo;s kind of like Chicken Soup for the Soul, except with vicious, bloodthirsty dictators.&rdquo; &mdash;Stu Does America&ldquo;A quick read, but tense. I was surprised at how fast my pulse was going when reading.&rdquo; &mdash;Victoria Irwin, FangirlNation &#160; &ldquo;An interesting combination of politics and food . . . It hit the spot.&rdquo; &mdash;Reading Envy&ldquo;A very profound meditation on the relationship between food and power.&rdquo; &#8213;Larry Wolff, New York University &#160; &ldquo;A startlingly intimate portrait from the palace kitchen . . . It blew me away.&rdquo; &#8213;Krishnendu Ray, New York University&ldquo;Unique and startling&mdash;an amazing book. Here&rsquo;s Abu Ali, describing the fish soup with tomatoes, almonds, and apricots that was Saddam Hussein&rsquo;s favorite. And here&rsquo;s Otonde Odera, reminiscing about the steak and kidney pie that won him a huge pay raise from Idi Amin. These accounts of killers at table, delivered in the cooks&rsquo; own words and placed in historical context by Szab&#322;owski, are all the more hair-raising for Szab&#322;owski&rsquo;s matter-of-fact prose. He isn&rsquo;t writing about monsters, but monstrous human beings&mdash;and that&rsquo;s the scary part.&rdquo; &mdash;Laura Shapiro, author of What She Ate and Julia Child: A Life

’...a major work of serious scholarship on early medieval canon law - a subject that touches a far larger range of human life in the past than it might at first seem.’ The Medieval Review  ’La récente collection, Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West s'enrichit d'un excellent ouvrage qui renouvelle nos connaissances sur la formation du droit canonique Ã  la veille de la Réforme grégorienne... Les historiens du droit canonique travaillant sur les collections antérieures Ã  Gratien ne pourront plus ignorer ce livre fondamental.’ Revue d'Histoire Ecclésiastique  ’... [Austin] makes a persuasive case that will fundamentally challenge historians to re-think the construction of collections in the era before Gratian.’ Journal of Ecclesiastical History  ’This book presents a fundamental reinterpretation of an important collection of church law from the 1010s... Austin’s results are remarkable. She achieves them through careful close readings and a painstakingly acquired, deep understanding of Burchard’s work.’ Catholic Historical Review

&ldquo;Anna Seghers was an admirable woman in many ways, but above all she was a remarkable humanist: she became a model of cultural resistance and ideological struggle who cut across borders, and who, still today, thanks to her work, transcends time and lives on in our memory.&rdquo; &mdash;Fernanda Melchor&ldquo;Seghers was concerned with major questions, and she pursued those questions in her fiction relentlessly. What does fascism do to a person&rsquo;s soul? she asks again and again. . . . Seghers&rsquo; stories are also moving and deeply intelligent.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Segher&rsquo;s masterly title story, written near the end of the war, casts an idyllic school outing in a dark pall, anticipating the fates of the innocent children. The result is classic European storytelling at its most potent.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Although they were penned between 1925 and 1965, there is an immediacy to these tales that cannot be ignored. . . Translator Margot Bettauer Dembo is an excellent guide through the twists and turns and small delights of language on every page.&rdquo; &mdash;Katie Yee, Lit Hub

&ldquo;Obery Hendricks is a righteous rabble-rouser! This book is the kind of prophetic troublemaking and truth-telling that we all need.&rdquo;&mdash;Brittney Cooper, author of Eloquent Rage&ldquo;Unsparing in his criticism and unflinching in his commitment to the Gospel, Obery Hendricks has penned a prophetic &lsquo;takedown&rsquo; of right-wing evangelicalism like I have never seen before. He understands the stakes and defends, with the skill of a scholar and a preacher, the importance of loving and being responsible for one&rsquo;s neighbor. Christians Against Christianity is, at once, bracing and brilliant, powerful and passionate. Read it and join the battle!&rdquo;&mdash;Eddie S. Glaude Jr., author of Begin Again: James Baldwin&rsquo;s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own&ldquo;The distinguished scholar and prophetic social critic Obery Hendricks has done it again: he has written a brilliant and heartfelt defense of the Christian gospel that indicts the fakes and frauds who distort it! This book, standing in the great tradition of Martin Luther King Jr., is just what is needed in these decadent times.&rdquo;&mdash;Cornel West, author of Race Matters&ldquo;We are at a time of turmoil, a crossroads that will determine what Christianity will mean and how it will be practiced in the twenty-first century. Any Christian who cares about the central message of the Gospels must read Dr. Obery Hendricks' urgent and important work.&rdquo;&mdash;Rev. Al   Sharpton&ldquo;Obery M. Hendricks Jr. is one of the most brilliant and consequential biblical scholars of the twenty-first century. He writes with the poetry of a novelist, the learning of a world-class scholar, and the artistry of a thunderous preacher sharing a burning jeremiad. This book is pure fire!&rdquo;&mdash;Michael Eric Dyson, author of Long Time Coming&ldquo;A searing indictment of white evangelicals&rsquo; allegiance to white supremacy and political power and a clarion call to all Christians to go back to the Bible to reclaim a faith rooted in love and responsibility for others rather than domination and self-interest. This is a must-read book for this crucial moment in our nation&rsquo;s history.&rdquo;&mdash;Robert P. Jones, CEO and founder of PRRI, author of White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity&ldquo;Christians Against Christianity masterfully exposes the moral, political, and theological contradictions of the American Religious Right. Each page of this brilliant text brims with historical heft, critical analysis, and righteous outrage. This is a must-read text not only for Christians but for anyone interested in understanding American faith, politics, and culture.&rdquo;&mdash;Marc Lamont Hill, author of We Still Here&ldquo;A masterful and grounded challenge to right-wing evangelical theology and politics&mdash;but one not for theologians alone. Powerfully written, forcefully argued, and morally anchored, Christians Against Christianity offers hope and thoughtful insight to all progressives and fair-minded readers.&rdquo;&mdash;Gar Alperovitz, author of What Then Must We Do? Straight Talk About the Next American Revolution&ldquo;Dr. Obery Hendricks is one of the country&rsquo;s most insightful voices on faith in the public square and racial justice and equity. This book is a critical contribution to our political and religious debate and deserves to be read and understood by policy and political leaders and people of faith alike.&rdquo;&mdash;Joshua DuBois, CEO of Values Partnerships, CNN contributor, and former director, White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships&ldquo;Christians Against Christianity is a brilliantly and powerfully written prophetic indictment of right-wing evangelicals who misuse the Bible while abusing those they otherize to further their political agenda. Obery Hendricks does a masterful job of shining a spotlight of gospel truth on their hypocrisy, masked as piety, while extending a redemptive invitation to experience and be emancipated by the liberating love of the sable-skinned Savior who majored in ministry to those on the margins. This is the gospel truth!&rdquo;&mdash;Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III, co-chair of the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference&ldquo;The Gospel has been hijacked! In Christians Against Christianity, Dr. Obery Hendricks affirms the population of people who have given their talents, skills, and abilities to religion and church only to find themselves marginalized, disenfranchised, and vilified. He clearly states that it is time to liberate Jesus and emancipate the heart of the Gospel that is trapped by pseudo-Christianity behaving badly! I recommend this book as a road map to freedom both for the prisoners and the practitioners of Bad Religion. Buy several copies and set captives free!&rdquo;&mdash;Rev. Dr. Yvette Flunder, presiding bishop, The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, and author of Where the Edge Gathers&ldquo;Obery Hendricks Jr. reminds us that two crucial measures of our faith are loving God and neighbor and that whatever we do for the &lsquo;least of these&rsquo; we do for Jesus. Now more than ever we must live out &lsquo;the life-affirming, justice-insistent message that Jesus proclaimed&rsquo; for our nation&rsquo;s children. Like Jesus, who put the child among the disciples, as we reclaim the transformative power of Christian faith, we must move children from the margin to the center of our nation&rsquo;s priorities.&rdquo;&mdash;Marian Wright Edelman, president emerita, The Children&rsquo;s Defense Fund, and author of The Measure of Our Success&ldquo;Dr. Obery Hendricks&rsquo;s latest book, Christians Against Christianity, is a powerful, prophetic denunciation of the brand of right-wing, overwhelmingly white evangelicalism that has done such grievous damage to the body politic and the body of Christ in the United States, as well as to the witness of the Christian church in the United States around the world. In reflecting on the damage of the last four years in particular, Hendricks describes the dangerous heresy and idolatry of Trumpism that has even further distanced far too many right-wing evangelicals literally from the true teachings of Jesus Christ. The witness of the Trumpian evangelicals is truly anti-Christ. Only by following Jesus&rsquo;s two greatest commandments&mdash;to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves&mdash;along with his teachings in Matthew 25 that the test of discipleship is how we treat the &lsquo;least of these,&rsquo; can these right-wing evangelicals find their way back to Jesus. I strongly recommend this book.&rdquo;&mdash;Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners and New York Times best-selling author of Christ in Crisis"Those who would like to read a well-educated and well-presented viewpoint on a number of contemporary issues from a thoughtful biblical perspective would be hard-pressed to do better than examine this book. You may not agree with everything Hendricks says, but you will be better informed and certainly challenged by his exhortation to match balanced biblical guidance with the way we live out contemporary social issues."&mdash;Scott Moncrieff, Spectrum Magazine"[Obery&rsquo;s] comparison is revealing: the Bible opposes conservative Christian politics at every turn. Not only does right-wing Christianity threaten American political life, but its false narrative also threatens Christianity itself. Hendricks is a voice crying in the wilderness&mdash;a prophet claiming the truth of the Bible for justice and a vision of the God who is love."&mdash;Diana   Butler Bass,&#160;author   of Grounded: Finding God in the World, A Spiritual Revolution"Christians Against Christianity hits hard. Really hard. But it is also measured, thoughtful, reasoned, and carefully presented. The style is concise and evidence-based, with research on evangelical leadership, statements and polled positions of right-wing evangelicals, and serious biblical scholarship."&mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books"[Hendricks'] most recent book, Christians Against Christianity, is a sustained critique of a group he refers to as &ldquo;faux Christians&rdquo;: right-wing, white evangelicals. &#160;With scholarly precision and an ability to engage beyond the tired critiques of right-wing Christianity, Hendricks imagines a version of Christianity that is politically committed to social justice."&mdash;Sojourner Magazine
