[PDF] Download The Red Prince: The Life of John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster Free Epub.

Gaunt was son of Edward III, brother to the Black Prince, father to Henry IV and the sire of all those Tudors. He?s had a pretty bad press: supposed usurper of Richard II?s crown and the focus of hatred in the Peasants? Revolt (they torched his home, the Savoy Palace). Helen Carr will paint a complex portrait of a man who held the levers of power on the English and European stage, passionately upheld chivalric values, pressed for the Bible to be translated into English, patronised the arts ? and, if you follow Shakespeare, gave the most beautiful oration on England (?this sceptred isle? this blessed plot?). An engrossing drama of political machinations, violence, romance and tragedy played out at the cusp of a new era.

What does it mean when God is presented as male? What does it mean when - from our internal assumptions to our shared cultural imaginings - God is presented as white?These are the urgent questions Chine McDonald asks in a searing look at her experience of being a Black woman in the white-majority space that is the UK church - a church that is being abandoned by Black women no longer able to grin and bear its casual racism, colonialist narratives and lack of urgency on issues of racial justice. Part memoir, part social and theological commentary, God Is Not a White Man is a must-read for anyone troubled by a culture that insists everyone is equal in God's sight, yet fails to confront white supremacy; a lament about the state of race and faith, and a clarion call for us all to do better.

Download [PDF] The King's Painter: The Life and Times of Hans Holbein With Audiobook.

The first illustrated biography of Hans Holbein, the painter who depicted some of the most powerful people of the early sixteenth century, in three decades.Hans Holbein the Younger is chiefly celebrated for his beautiful and precisely realised portraiture, which includes representations of Desiderius Erasmus, Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII, Anne of Cleves, and an array of the Tudor lords and ladies he encountered during the course of two sojourns in England. But beyond these familiar images, which have come to define our perception of the world of the Henrician court, Holbein was a protean and multi-faceted genius: a humanist, satirist, political propagandist, and contributor to the history of book design as well as a religious artist and court painter. The rich layers of symbolism and allusion that characterise his work have proved especially fascinating to scholars.Franny Moyle traces and analyses the life and work of an extraordinary artist against the backdrop of an era

During World War II, four chaplains were assigned to the SS Dorchester with more than 900 men on board. Alexander Goode, a Jewish rabbi; John Washington, a Catholic priest; George Fox, a Methodist minister; and Clark Poling, a Baptist minister, all offered comfort, reassurances, and prayers along with a warning from the captain that a German submarine was hunting their convoy.Thoroughly researched and told in an engrossing nonfiction narrative, this true story alternates between accounts told from the perspective of the Nazi U-boat captain and his crew (as found in their journals and later interviews) and survivors from the Dorchester who credit the four chaplains with saving their lives after their ship was torpedoed.The celebrated story of the men who became known as the Immortal Chaplains is now joined for the first time in print by the largely untold story of another hero: Charles Walter David Jr. A young Black petty officer aboard a coast guard cutter traveling with the
