Simpson, James, 1954-. Burning to read: English fundamentalism and its Reformation opponents. Cambridge, Mass.: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2007, viii, 346pp., good dust-jacket but torn at bottom of spine, very good green hardcover, previous owner's name. Jacket text: "The evidence is everywhere: fundamentalist reading can stir passions and provoke violence that changes the world. Amid such present day conflagrations, this book reminds us of the sources and profound consequences of Christian fundamentalism in the sixteenth century." - "James Simpson focuses on a critical moment in early modern England, specifically the cultural transformation that allowed common folk to read the Bible for the first time. Widely understood and accepted as the grounding moment of liberalism, this was actually, Simpson tells us, the source of fundamentalism, and of different kinds of persecutory violence. His argument overturns a widely held interpretation of sixteenth-century Protestant reading - and a crucial tenet of the liberal tradition." - "After exploring the heroism and achievements of sixteenth-century English Lutherans, particularly William Tyndale, Burning to Read turns to the bad news of the Lutheran Bible. Simpson outlines the dark, dynamic, yet demeaning paradoxes of Lutheran reading: its demands that readers hate the biblical text before they can love it; that they be constantly on the lookout for unreadable signs of their own salvation; that evangelical readers be prepared to repudiate friends and all tradition on the basis of their personal reading of Scripture. Such reading practice provoked violence not only against Lutheranism's stated enemies, as Simpson demonstrates. It also prompted psychological violence and permanent schism within its own adherents." - "The last wave of fundamentalist reading in the West provoked 150 years of violent upheaval. As we approach a second wave, this powerful book alerts us to our peril." - CONTENTS: Hundred years of biblical violence -- Good Bible news -- Salvation, reading, and textual hatred -- The literal sense and predestination -- Bible reading, persecution, and paranoia -- History as error -- Thomas More and textual trust -- The tragic scene of early modern reading.

Patterson, Ian. Guernica and total war. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2007, 199pp., very good dust-jacket, original price crossed out in ink on flap, sale price in ink on rear panel, very good brown half-cloth with light brown boards. Series: Profiles in history: "One of the most terrible ideas of the twentieth century was that of total war - war by the obliteration of whole civilian populations. The first and in many ways the most striking use of this in Europe came exactly seventy years ago on 26 April 1937, when the ancient Basque town of Guernica was almost completely destroyed by the bombs of the German Gondor Legion and Italian fascist planes operating in support of Franco's rebels in the Spanish Civil War." "Almost at once Guernica became a media focus, and Picasso's painting, which rapidly made Guernica the most famous image of total war, was only one of a huge number of paintings, films, novels, poems and plays to explore this new fear of death from the air. Since the first bomb was dropped from an Italian aeroplane over Libya in 1911, bombing became a central weapon in the armoury of European warfare. The zeppelin and bombing raids of World War I showed how effective they could be. Between the wars, apocalyptic ideas of the mass destruction of civilisation gave mass bombing a new currency of fear. This was the context in which news of the bombing of Guernica was received. Ian Patterson brilliantly traces this hidden story of terror through World War II to Hiroshima, and shows how the image of Guernica is just as relevant today, in the World of 9/11 and Iraq.".
