Edward Fisher's "The Marrow of Modern Divinity" is written as a dialogue that draws upon the insights of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and other notable 16th and 17th century Protestants to distinguish the law from the gospel and to confront the errors of antinomianism and legalism. While these issues are of perennial relevance for Christ's church, the antiquity, intricacy, and format of Fisher's book can make it daunting for contemporary readers. In this simplified version, most of Fisher's material has been retained, the best insights from Thomas Boston's 18th century annotations have been incorporated directly into the dialogue, and the content has been revised and edited to make it more accessible for today's readers. This second, expanded edition contains an entirely new section (Part 4) that contains a simplified version of the material that Fisher published in 1649 as the second part of "The Marrow." Andy Wilson is the pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church (OPC) in Laconia, New Hampshire. His writings have appeared in Modern Reformation magazine, Ordained Servant journal, and online at the Aquila Report.

How to Reduce Tension

Ben Watson

"Starting with the commodity form (rather than the 'spirit' lauded by everyone from Classic FM retards to NME journalists), Adorno outlined a revolutionary musicology, a passageway between subjective feeling and objective conditions. In Adorno for Revolutionaries, Ben Watson argues that this is what everyone's been looking for since the PCF blackened the name of Marxism by wrecking the hopes of May '68. Batting aside postmodern airheads and prattling pundits alike, this collection detonates the explosive core of Adorno's thought. The Association of Musical Marxists says: Those 'socialists' who are frightened of their feelings can go stew in their imaginary bookshop. For us, great music is a necessity. To talk about it is to criticize everything that exists"--P. [4] of cover.

Adorno for Revolutionaries

"There is no group more mythical than Faust" Julian Cope"When the Germans do something, they don't fuck around" Jean-Hervé PéronFrom the publisher: September 2006 sees the release of this book about Faust, the legendary krautrock group. Fully illustrated, it contains reviews all of the group's records from the period 1970-75 as well as recounting the rise of krautrock and its relation to the social upheavals of the '60s. There is also a discography, bibliographies, live reviews and the text of the group's 1973 manifesto as well as essays on music and time and the group's relation to the work of Frank Zappa. From the dustjacket: In 1970 Polydor Records funded an unusual experiment. They gave some unknown German musicians a retreat in the countryside near Hamburg, equipped it with a studio and their best engineer, then left them free to do as they liked. This is the story of Faust and the music they made between 1970 and 1975, music which continues to inspire and confound listeners to this dayAbout the author: Andy Wilson has been running the Faust web site, the Faust-Pages (http: //www.faust-pages.com) for over a decade now, during which time he has collected information about the band, interviewed band members and generally researched the group's history. Now he has collected that information into a book. He lives in Hackney, London, and has been listening to Faust for the best part of a lifetime.Book Contents: Das Lied Eines Matrosen; Germany Calling; On Currywurst; Clear / Faust; So Far; Tony Conrad: Outside The Dream Syndicate; The Faust Tapes; Faust IV; Munich; Elsewhere; On Returning; Faust Live; Faust Manifesto; Fruit Flies Like a Banana; Das also war des Pudels Kern; Discography; Online; Guide to Illustrations; Faust Bibliography; General Bibliography
