Typical boys school story from earlier times.

[b00k-l0ver]

This story is set in a traditional boarding school for boys in 1950. Trubshaw is a bit different. His father believes in learning but not teaching, so the lad has been allowed to educate himself at home. Now he is eleven, and needs the social benefits of a school. This precocious boy is going to be a problem for the teachers. Getting interested in ghosts he decides to invent one as a prank. But he gets more than he bargained for. It looks as though there is a real ghost after all. Even the school chaplain begins to believe in Trubshaw's ghost. Can this actually be a real ghost? Trubshaw finds out the truth.

This book covers a wide range of topics:  psychology and psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and the psychological insights we find in ancient texts. To be fully inclusive in tackling the question of what it means to be human we need to address spiritual answers as well as scientific answers. So here is a book which includes Jesus of Nazareth as well as Freud, Paul of Tarsus as well as Jung, and suggests that in order to answer the question, what it means to be human, it is important not to exclude the spiritual, or to assume that when we die that is the end of us. Can we see Freud's id, ego, and super-ego as a parallel with the Bible's body, soul and spirit? Dare we think about left and right brain strengths in the same context as the fruit of the spirit? So many questions. In fact this book aims to provoke questions far more than to provide answers, though the source for these answers is firmly promoted.

Ever since Charles Darwin's 'Origin of Species' there has been controversy about origins. Are we to believe Genesis or the evolutionists? This book believes the controversy is unnecessary. By carefully analysing what Genesis actually says, and by understanding what kind of documents (note the plural) Genesis contains, we can accept all that modern science has discovered about the age of the cosmos and our planet, and still value Genesis. Genesis is answering a different set of questions. The author offers a new version of the creation myth, and the myth about human origins. The whole book of Genesis is presented in a modern translation with comments and explanations, in the hope that its importance is fully appreciated, especially in the 21st century. In addition to the early myths in Genesis, the questions about Noah's flood, the significance of Abraham to three modern religions, and many other topics are covered.

Behold The Man was written originally in the 1960s as an Ordinary Level textbook when the syllabus was the four gospels. It was was published by Edward Arnold (Publishers) Ltd., London, in 1969, and went through two printings. Recently John has revised it, and it is now available as an eBook. It is a retelling of the Life and Teaching of Jesus Christ with passages from the gospels (in a modern translation) interlinked with comments and explanations from the author. Only one instance of each of the parallel passages is presented, but an index is also included which details the other passages. The original textbook style, with essay titles at the end of each chapter, has been converted into what may be seen as the best way to read all four gospels as a single narrative.
