Dimensions of Human Sexuality

By: Doherty, Dennis (Ed.)

Price: $30.00 USD

Publisher: Garden City, N.Y., Doubleday & Company, Inc.: 1979

Seller ID: 006926

ISBN: 0385150407

Binding: Hard Cover

Condition: Very Good

Original black paper boards backed in red cloth. No writing or damage. As an outsider, this was my first exposure to the hornet's nest created by publication in 1977 of Human Sexuality: New Directions in American Catholic Thought (Paulist Press). The present volume is an acceptance of the invitation to "serious criticism" and "scholarly dialogue" extended in the earlier book. "The task of the contributors to the present volume is to argue the views advanced in Human Sexuality in a way that critics to date have not done." - Introduction. 249 pp.

A New Bible By Me

By: Edan, Mary

Price: $95.00 USD

Publisher: N.Y., Self-published: 1953

Seller ID: 004630

Binding: Flexible Faux Leather

Condition: Very Good

Original blue faux leather. "Please accept with compliments of author and apologies for print. Mary Edan, Gotham Hotel, New York City" is on verso of second free endpaper. Although in script form, it appears to have been printed. The text of the book is baffling, for it is composed of terms usually associated with Christianity, but in such undefined and repetitious form as to beg understanding. The author begins with a brief account of the death of her young daughter by fire, in 1926. I could find no reference to any other historical events in the book. No information found on au...

Winning the Victory; A Tale

By: Everett-Green, Evelyn

Price: $18.00 USD

Publisher: London, Thomas Nelson and Sons: 1899

Seller ID: 007186

Binding: Hard Cover

Condition: Good Plus to Very Good

Original dark blue cloth lettered in gold on boards. Previous owner's name. My first impression of the book was that the main character, Diana, is too fond of her brother of 14, who is near her own age. They seem to like the same things, and have a plan to make a secret hideout on a nearby island. The author of the only review of this book I could find mockingly agrees that it is indeed a tale - only a tale, and seems to find no redeeming qualities in it. I find the choice of words more than quaint, even hoity-toity, and regard the text itself as generally off-putting, to use a fine phrase...

Condition: Good Plus to Very Good

Original grey softcover. Underlining. An ordained clergyman of the subject church makes clear that this is not an attack on his denomination, but a defense of it. Grabbing the reader with "catch" phrases such as "Left is right," he leads directly into the particular issue which it describes. In this case it is the apparent trend to more liberal politics among Anglican members. 179 pp.
