The most famous of all English Bibles, the King James Version, was the culmination of centuries of work by various translators, from John Wycliffe, the 14 century catalyst of English Bible translation, to the committee of scholars who collaborated on the King James translation. Wide as the Waters examines the life and work of Wycliffe and recounts the tribulations of his successors, including William Tyndale, who was martyred, Miles Coverdale, and others who came to bitter ends.

In 2014, Flint, Michigan, was a cash-strapped city that had been built up, then abandoned by General Motors. As part of a plan to save money, government officials decided that Flint would temporarily switch its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River.

Cannibalistic snakes exceeding 100 feet in length that cause the Earth to tremble. Large cats with 12-inch fangs thought to be extinct. Sauropod dinosaurs that flip canoes. A half-octopus, half-shark creature that pulls boats into the abyss. Plesiosaurs swimming in glacial lakes. These are but a few of the monsters lurking in the waters of South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

The starting point for In Deep Water: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis is not news: the world as we know it is shifting. Several millennia of climate stability have come to an abrupt end. But, observes Talitha Amadea Aho, the young people of today do not remember stability. They see the world through crisis-colored glasses. Climate change is creating a spiritual emergency that is hitting their generation harder than any other.

Fabulously unrestrained and ever-evolving, camp has captured the cultural imagination for at least 150 years. The term possibly derives from the French se camper, meaning to pose in a bold, provocative, or exaggerated fashion. Frequently used to define or deride young heterosexual men, the upper classes, Black people, older women, and gay men, camp has also played a key role in equality movements. Paul Baker's highly anticipated reappraisal of camp surveys its touchstones across history and the changing ways that it has been understood.

Over 80 percent of people claim to be religious. Yet, every 40 seconds someone commits suicide. In the United States, one in three seek professional counseling, and 30 million dollars is spent each day on anti-depressants. The truth is that the human ego and man-made ethics can take us to a place in life where we feel our own soul cannot survive. We all aspire to belong and endeavor to make our mark while longing for the freedom to just be ourselves. Often the reality of who we are is painfully different than who we presume we should be. But how can we know who we truly are?

Lydiette Carrión narra con vértigo la odisea de los padres para encontrar a sus hijas; la precariedad de las investigaciones, realizadas por un sistema policiaco laberíntico, corrupto, criminal y altamente ineficaz, y la estigmatización que sufren las víctimas aún en la muerte.

In this three-part series by D.J. Bradley, we are read the life of Pamela Burroughs, an evangelizing single mother. In Part 1, we meet Pam, her fellow missionary friends, and Bibi, the boy who becomes their mission. While on a religious support trip to Africa, Pam's journey takes a surprising twist, as Pam's path crosses Bibi's. Bibi, a young, native Nigerian Christian, is on the brink of death, injured, bleeding, and without water. A detour caused by an accident on the highway changes the course of the lives of Pam and her group, along with Bibi.

Colonists brought a different view of nature, one that saw its resources as commodities to be bought and sold. Over the course of centuries, this conflict of ideologies would continue, one that persists today in courtroom debates surrounding Indigenous rights, on frontlines protesting pipeline projects, and in the hearts and minds of people advocating that "water is life". So when a water protector proclaims "water is life", they speak not just in slogan form, but as part of an ancient philosophy that dates back millennia.
