Sobre IBD

Thomas is not so much the doubter he is traditionally labeled as being as he is a thinker. He needs to make sense of things. He’s the kid in the classroom that always has his hand raised and lies awake at night trying to resolve things that don’t quite fit preconceived patterns. He’s the man that always has his eye cocked and frowns more than he laughs. When Jesus asks Thomas who He reminds him of, he answers, 'No one. You’re like nobody I ever met.' But he continues to keep stride with his eleven fellow disciples as they wander behind Jesus all over the region once reigned over by David and Solomon, some of them often fantasizing about the upcoming kingdom of David’s latter-day successor. And, with his close friend Matthew, Thomas keeps on asking the questions others might wish to ask but are reluctant to blurt out. The man simply wants to get to the heart of the matter, though huge and painful surprises await him when he finally does.

  • The Eagle Returns
    C. Paul Burnham / CPaul Burnham
    The Gospel of John was long assumed to be the work of an eyewitness, usually identified as John, son of Zebedee. More recently, many have judged it the unhistorical product of a ''Johannine community.'' Reconsideration by Richard Bauckham has suggested that the author was a Jerusalem disciple who housed the ''Last Supper.'' This book explores the possibility that he was present...

    del mayor guitarrista de la historia del tango. Con solo percibir el empleo del plectro (la llamada púa de guitarra en nuestro canyengue) descubrimos un sonido y estilo tan particular que terminó por deslumbrar a todos.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
  • Tommaso Traetta and the Fusion of Italian and French Opera in Parma
    George W. Loomis
    In 1759, the court of the Italian Duchy of Parma adopted the inspiration of cultural creators who recommended a reform of Italian opera along French lines. These writers favored combining Italian-style music with the wider range of musical genres and scenic variety of French opera. As the music critic and commentator George W. Loomis shows in this groundbreaking volume, the you...

    Robert Calder
    William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was one of the most prominent and productive authors of the twentieth century-and his works have been among the most cinematically transformed in history. For more than five decades, adaptations of his plays, stories, and novels dominated movie theaters and, later, television screens. More than ninety individual works were filmed, and for ma...

  • Venus and Adonis and the Rape of Lucrece
    Donald Richardson
    Neither Venus and Adonis nor the Rape of Lucrece is widely read. Both poems were quite popular during Shakespeare’s time, however, and each gives promise of future development of the playwright’s later skills. Still, as the Riverside Shakespeare says, 'Venus and Adonis . . . is an Ovidian poem that does not fully succeed' (1798). One might assert this about the Rape of Lucrece ...

  • Unto the High Places
    Donald Richardson
    I have pondered the contemplative life, wondering how it could be useful or applicable to one in the twenty-first century. Might it be useful-even in this age of high-speed electronics, of smart phones, and Wikipedia-or should it be consigned to the annals of history to days when life was apparently simpler and quotidian challenges easier to resolve? Reduced to its essentials, ...

  • Complete Reign of King Edward the Third
    Donald Richardson
    Proudfoot and Bennett remind us that 'the authorship of Edward III remains speculative' (89). However, they continue, 'The circumstantial case for Shakespeare has sufficient dimensions to be persuasive, especially the relation of Edward III to Shakespeare’s early non-dramatic and dramatic writings' (89). Whether Shakespeare wrote the play is less important, perhaps, than the fa...

  • Complete the Two Noble Kinsmen
    Donald Richardson
    Based on Chaucers The Knights Tale in Canterbury Tales, The Two Noble Kinsmen takes as a motif the rules of courtly love endorsed by both Arcite and Palamon who, unfortunately, are nearly indistinguishable. As Mowat and Werstine assert, So fraught are the human relations of the play that only the gods can eventually bring them to their resolution (xv). Credit William Shakespear...
