Over the past couple of months, we've covered dystopia, utopia, action, adventure, magical realism, children's literature, satire, and a whole lot of fantasy. This clip show puts some of those writing tip segments together for you as a literary aperitif before we begin Season 9, where we'll be talking about blending all of these flavors together to create your signature genre. I'm very much looking forward to that.

Can the New Testament really be trusted? Was it written too late, copied too often, or shaped by biased authors? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver is joined by Dr. Benjamin Shaw, author of Trustworthy: 13 Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament, to examine the historical evidence supporting the trustworthiness of the New Testament.This conversation explores:-Manuscript evidence and textual reliability-Early dating of the New Testament writings-Eyewitness testimony-Why skeptics treat the Bible differently from other ancient texts-External historical sources like Josephus and Tacitus -Whether the earliest Christians believed Jesus was God-Why the apostles were willing to suffer and die for their testimonyDr. Shaw, president of Core Apologetics and former research assistant to Dr. Gary Habermas, presents compelling arguments showing that the New Testament stands as the best-attested document of antiquity.

If you want to see some really old stuff, Portland isn’t a bad place to be. With dozens of antique shops around the city, it isn’t hard to find objects more than a hundred years old.   But from now until March 6, Lewis & Clark College will do you one better: Its special collections department has unveiled an exhibit featuring manuscripts from the Middle Ages, some dating back to 13th century Europe. While rare now in the 21st century, the items on display were once mundane, everyday objects, including legal documents and prayer books with colorful illustrations.   It’s not often that small liberal arts colleges gain access to such rare documents, as larger research institutions and elite universities frequently take priority. In fact, it’s the first time in nearly three decades that a collection this old has made its way to the Rose City. The exhibit, “Shaping the Soul,” is free and open to the public.   At Lewis & Clark College, Hannah Crummé is the head of special collections, and Karen Gross is a medievalist and professor of English. They join us to share more about the manuscripts and their significance today, hundreds of years later.

Speculation has swirled that Ghislaine Maxwell is writing a tell‑all memoir from prison, purportedly aimed at “correcting misinformation” about her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and the broader scandal. Reports from early 2024 suggest she believes a book could vindicate her, with an anonymous source quoted saying she “really thinks she hasn't done anything wrong and that her charges will be dropped when people read her story.” Manuscripts are said to be kept under extreme secrecy—stored across three legal lockers and moved paranoidly to prevent leaks.These claims have sparked concern and criticism among survivors and public commentators who fear that far from delivering accountability, the book—if published—could serve as a self‑exculpatory exercise. Legal experts note that while she may legally profit from such a memoir, victims would likely need to be notified under state laws and could seek restitution via civil claims. Maxwell's reported efforts to capitalize on the Epstein scandal by “telling her story” have been interpreted as another attempt at self‑rehabilitation, rather than genuine introspection or acceptance of culpability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell Could Make Millions From Jeffrey Epstein Scandal (newsweek.com)

What do exploding bats and amphibious galleons have in common? They're both fascinating features of some of the world's most mysterious manuscripts, as revealed by journalist and author Garry J Shaw in his book, Cryptic. From Hildegard of Bingen's secret language to the hoaxes of Renaissance Spain, and from John Dee's angelic communications to the peculiar Voynich Manuscript, Shaw unravels the allure and enigma of texts shrouded in secrecy.

Today's message on LoveTalk Network emphasizes the necessity and trustworthiness of Scripture by highlighting Job’s declaration that the words of God’s mouth were more precious than food and Billy Graham’s insistence that spiritual growth is impossible without the Bible. The program also looks at the Apostle Paul’s teaching in 2 Timothy that Scripture is God-breathed and equips believers for every good work. Join Marlene McMichael, Cathy Endebrock, and Kerri Endebrock for this life-changing program.

Episode #465: In a rich discussion on Buddhist manuscript cultures in Southeast Asia, Professor Volker Grabowsky and Dr. Silpsupa Jaengsawang explore how handwritten texts—especially those on palm leaf and mulberry paper—carry spiritual, cultural, and scholarly significance. They distinguish literature from manuscript study, which emphasizes the importance of materials, format and scribal context as much as the content.Manuscripts, they argue, are not just vessels of content, but cultural artifacts, and often used as sacred objects in monastic rituals. In Theravāda traditions, monks often preach from memory, andholding a manuscript mainly to symbolically evoke the connection to the Buddha's teachings. They explain how traditional manuscript forms can also be used to convey secular content—such as histories and political commentary—and sometimes serve as tools of cultural preservation, such as in the Tai community in China.The scholars highlight the many challenges of preservation due to the deleterious effects of a tropical climate and natural disasters, as well as the social barrier of restricted access to manuscripts for women. Another challenge to preservation is the declining knowledge of traditional scripts in the modern world.Digitization efforts like the Hamburg-based Digital Library aim to safeguard these texts, but both scholars insist on the need for public engagement. The pair concludes that manuscript traditions persist not as relics but as dynamic forms coexisting with print and digital media—integrating past, present, and future in a living continuum of cultural practice.

We increasingly encounter medieval books as digital facsimiles—zooming in on high-resolution images, clicking through virtual pages, or engaging with interactive displays. But what actually happens when a parchment manuscript is translated into a digital object? How does this change affect our understanding of cultural heritage? In The Digital Medieval Manuscript: Material Approaches to Digital Codicology (Brill, 2025), Suzette van Haaren explores the digital medieval manuscript as a unique cultural artifact, not just a copy of its physical counterpart. Through three case studies, van Haaren reveals how digital manuscripts function in libraries, museums, and scholarship today. Blending manuscript studies with digital humanities, this book offers a fresh materialist approach to the discourse surrounding the digitisation of cultural heritage and provides a nuanced view of how it shapes the way we perceive, handle, and preserve medieval manuscripts in an increasingly digital world. This episode makes reference to other scholars in the field of digital codicology, several of whom have spoken about this work on New Books Network. Listen to Bridget Whearty speak about Digital Codicology: Medieval Books and Modern Labor; Michelle R. Warren speak about Holy Digital Grail: A Medieval Book on the Internet; and Astrid J. Smith speak about Transmediation and the Archive: Decoding Objects in the Digital Age. Van Haaren also mentions the work of composer Mark Dyer, specifically the Scribe project. Digitised manuscripts discussed in this interview include the Bury Bible, Der naturen bloeme, and the prayer book of Mary of Guelders. Images from Der naturen bloeme are also available on Wikimedia Commons. Suzette van Haaren is a postdoc in the CRC Virtuelle Lebenswelten at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Her research reflects on the impact of the increasing digitisation (and virtualisation) of historical heritage. She is interested in the Middle Ages in contemporary media contexts.

A unique study of the only physical manuscript containing Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as both a material and literary object.In this book, Arthur Bahr takes a fresh look at the four poems and twelve illustrations of the so-called “Pearl-Manuscript,” the only surviving medieval copy of two of the best-known Middle English poems: Pearl and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In Chasing the Pearl-Manuscript, Bahr explores how the physical manuscript itself enhances our perception of the poetry, drawing on recent technological advances (such as spectroscopic analysis) to show the Pearl-Manuscript to be a more complex piece of material, visual, and textual art than previously understood. By connecting the manuscript's construction to the intricate language in the texts, Bahr suggests new ways to understand both what poetry is and what poetry can do. Arthur Bahr is professor of literature and MacVicar Faculty Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of Fragments and Assemblages: Forming Compilations of Medieval London, also published by the University of Chicago Press.

A unique study of the only physical manuscript containing Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as both a material and literary object.In this book, Arthur Bahr takes a fresh look at the four poems and twelve illustrations of the so-called “Pearl-Manuscript,” the only surviving medieval copy of two of the best-known Middle English poems: Pearl and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In Chasing the Pearl-Manuscript, Bahr explores how the physical manuscript itself enhances our perception of the poetry, drawing on recent technological advances (such as spectroscopic analysis) to show the Pearl-Manuscript to be a more complex piece of material, visual, and textual art than previously understood. By connecting the manuscript's construction to the intricate language in the texts, Bahr suggests new ways to understand both what poetry is and what poetry can do. Arthur Bahr is professor of literature and MacVicar Faculty Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of Fragments and Assemblages: Forming Compilations of Medieval London, also published by the University of Chicago Press.

By the late 7th century, the Byzantine Empire was no longer dealing with distant desert tribes — it was facing relentless pressure from neighboring Arab forces that had grown organized, ideological, and aggressive. Manuscripts, military correspondence, and archaeological evidence reveal a civilization that was forced into constant vigilance as border regions were harassed, raided, and, in many cases, overtaken.What began as a peripheral conflict quickly became an existential threat. The Byzantines learned — often too late — that sustained cultural and spiritual pressure can weaken even the most established Christian civilizations. Fortifications increased. Diplomacy shifted. Entire provinces were lost. Not because Byzantium lacked faith, but because the nature of the threat had changed.These patterns matter today. The past shows that spiritual worldviews do not remain private. They shape law, culture, family structures, and public life. When a belief system expands, it seeks space — socially, politically, and spiritually. Scripture calls Christians not to respond with fear, but with discernment and prayer. America and its cities are experiencing cultural pressure that mirrors older historical cycles. Prayer is not passive. It is resistance. Christians are called to intercede, to stand watch, and to ask God to protect nations from spiritual deception, cultural erosion, and the loss of truth.The Byzantine experience stands as a warning — and a call.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Host: Cindy Allen Published: December 19 Length: ~15 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this year-end “Cindy's Version” of Simply Trade, Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, uses Taylor Swift's “The Manuscript” to frame a look back at 2025's trade story. She recaps the latest developments—from the Court of International Trade's surprise ruling on the Costco injunction and IEPA liquidation concerns to a new Switzerland–Liechtenstein trade deal and CBP's long‑awaited “stacking” spreadsheet. Cindy also highlights the U.S. government's announcement that it collected 200 billion dollars in new tariffs this year, and what that really means for importers' bottom lines. Using “The Manuscript” as a metaphor, Cindy walks through the big chapters of this year in trade: unprecedented use of authorities like IEPA and 232, the temporary shock of 145% China tariffs, the demise of de minimis, a jump in effective average duty rates, and a surge in complexity around stacking, derivative tariffs, and country‑of‑melt reporting. She also touches on ACE edit‑check gaps, compressed implementation timelines, expanded ACAS data requirements, and pilots like the Global Business Identifier that signal a move toward progressive filing and deeper supply chain visibility. Cindy closes by reflecting on the vital role of trade associations, community, and collaboration—and shares her hope that next year's “manuscript” reads more like a romantic comedy than an action thriller. What You'll Learn in This Episode What the CIT's ruling in the Costco/IEPA case really means for injunctions and refunds Key updates: Switzerland–Liechtenstein trade deal, CBP stacking spreadsheet, and tariff collections How IEPA and 232 were used in new, expansive ways—including derivative and fentanyl‑related tariffs The “demise of de minimis” and its impact on trade flows and compliance workloads Why average effective duty rates have jumped from ~2–3% to around 17% How trade “deals” differ from formal FTAs and why they complicate stacking rules New data, timing, and ACE challenges: melt/cast reporting, missing edit checks, and 1‑day rollouts The growing role of pilots like GBI and progressive filing in reshaping future entry processes Why uncertainty itself—legal, financial, and operational—has become a major cost driver Key Takeaways 2025's trade “manuscript” is defined by unprecedented authority use, higher duty rates, and much more complexity. Rapid‑fire changes, thin guidance, and limited ACE edit checks have shifted more risk and responsibility onto importers, brokers, and software providers. Community, collaboration, and strong industry groups (ICPA, NCBFAA, AAEI, COAC) are essential to interpreting and managing ongoing change. As the trade community turns the page to a new year, the goal is a calmer, more predictable “script”—with fewer action scenes and more stability.

This is an unabridged bilingual, fully annotated edition of Tullia d'Aragona's epic poem The Wretch. This mid-century epic reflects the many historical and religious changes taking place in the first half of the sixteenth century in Europe and the burgeoning literary debates following the publication of another Italian epic poem, Ariosto's Orlando Furioso. The Wretch recounts the adventures of Guerrino, a nobleman captured by pirates as an infant and sold into slavery. His famous quest in search of his parents and his identity involves abductions, same-sex seductions, and skirmishes with fantastical beasts as he travels through Europe, Turkey, Africa, India, Arabia, and the Purgatory of St. Patrick. The poem occupies an important position in the development of the prestigious epic genre, the highest step on the ladder to literary recognition and fame, and Tullia's work paved the way for the epics of other women writers in subsequent decades. Edited by Julia L. Hairston, with an Introduction by Julia L. Hairston, translated by John C. McLucas Kate Driscoll is Assistant Professor of Italian and Romance Studies at Duke University. She is a specialist of early modern Italian and European literary and cultural history, with interests in women's and gender studies, performance history, and the cultures of diplomacy and reception.

Have you ever felt provoked to pray? Do you ever feel so touched by time spent in the Bible that you just have to tell God what you're experiencing? OR have you ever felt like you wanted to pray but just didn't know what to say? Both of these instances indicate the usefulness of scripture in prayer. Sometimes God's word moves us to respond to him. And sometimes it gives us the right words to say when we just don't have them ourselves.Today, InterVarsity prayer specialist Andrea Anderson walks us through the process of incorporating the Bible as a tool for prayer and helps us continue exploring the best practices for engaging with scripture after graduation.And don't forget to check out Manuscript.Bible!

Which verses do you know by heart? In the beginning God created... For God so loved the world... Jesus wept... The invitation to hide God's Word in our heart is scattered throughout Scripture. But how much time and attention do we give to memorizing Scripture? And why is it such an important practice?This week, we continue our series Six Ways to Engage Scripture After Graduation with a conversation about memorizing. We're joined by Jacob Thies, an InterVarsity alum from UW-Whitewater who's had a very unique experience with Scripture memorization. While in school, Jacob had the opportunity to play the role of Jesus in The Mark Drama*, which required a significant amount of memorizing. On this episode, Jacob is going to share about his tender encounter with Jesus while memorizing, and a few of his best tips for memorizing Scripture for ourselves.And don't forget to check out Manuscript.Bible!

Learn how to work with beta readers in a grounded, calm way so feedback feels useful, not overwhelming.You're nearing the finish line of your first draft, or maybe you've just crossed it. Either way, the question is the same… what happens next? Should you send it to friends? Hire an editor? Bury it in a drawer? Everyone keeps mentioning “beta readers,” but what does that actually mean? And how do you find the right ones without losing your mind or your confidence?In this episode, I'm breaking down the entire beta-reader process so you can take your book from first draft to ready-to-share with total clarity (and zero panic).You'll hear me talk about things like:[01:45] What beta readers actually do (and what they don't), so you approach this next step with the right intentions to avoid disappointment. [02:55] The "blind spot” problem every author faces after finishing a draft, and how beta readers give you a fresh perspective when you're too close to your story. [05:15] Where to find reliable, genre-savvy beta readers that don't ghost you and deliver quality feedback instead of vague opinions.[09:25] How to set clear expectations before beta readers start so you get useful, specific notes instead of confusing contradictions.[14:45] What to do after the feedback arrives: how to sort through conflicting opinions, decide what to keep, and turn it all into a calm, actionable revision plan.Finishing your first draft is a huge accomplishment, but inviting beta readers in can feel like a whole new level of vulnerability. This episode will help you take that next step with composure so you can share your story, stay true to your vision, and come out the other side with a stronger manuscript and a clearer sense of direction.
