HELL and Other Essays is a collection of articles by Piers Paul Read. All have previously been published, except the first piece, on hell. The essays are divided into sections: faith, the Church, liberation theology, history, sex and marriage, writers, and saints (Darton, Longman & Todd, £12.95 (£11.65); 978-0-232-52651-6).
Andreas Andreopoulos explores Art as Theology: From the post-modern to the medieval. In Part I, he explains how art lost its sacred character in the late Middle Ages; in Part II, he considers how the post-modern fusion of the limits of art and life is consistent with the medieval view of the religious icon as a liturgical and spiritual entity (Equinox, £18.99; 978-1-84553-171-3).
Two decades after Man and Woman God Made Them was first published, Jean Vanier revises his look at the meaning and sources of human sexuality (Darton, Longman & Todd, £11.95 (£10.75); 978-0-232 52698-1).
