Book Description
Few stories capture the unique interplay of critical theory, mass media and public taste better than the story of the Spasmodics. These earnest, youthful and largely self-educated neo-Romantics hoped to become prophets who would influence literary society on a grand scale. From about 1850 to 1860, the Spasmodics successfully cast a long shadow over virtually every serious discussion of Victorian poetry. Many mid-nineteenth-century writers, including Tennyson, both Brownings and Matthew Arnold, were either adherents or outspoken detractors of the Spasmodic School. This work documents, in appropriate social contexts, the trajectory of the Spasmodic School in both its original incarnation and subsequent appraisals. Examining the various personalities and aesthetic principles that fashioned the movement, the author does not champion any particular critical stance or verdict. The scholarly apparatus cites a number of competing Victorianist interpretations, approaches and judgments with varying degrees of expertise.

Book Description
Unlike what happened in the West, in the Christian Orthodox country of Greece, whose spiritual state inspired this book, it is not easy to bring the Evangelion regarding repentance, forgiveness, and salvation by Grace alone. As far back as 1949, the Church reacted vehemently to Christian publications, which relying on Biblical evidence, argued that man needs to go directly to the Throne of God, repent, and only then be able to receive the free gift of forgiveness. To this day, theChurch’s stand remains the same. In his book dealing with the Sacrament of Penance,Spyros Filos explains for everyone – especially the Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholics – the simple truth about the Reformation. He believes that the sincere, evangelical brokenness of man before God and the submission to free forgiveness is offered by the Father to all who take off the mantle of their own worthiness and put on that of Christ, who took upon Himself the sin of humankind, paying for it in full to give everyone the free gift of salvation. The supporting arguments come from the original Greek text of the NT, Church Fathers, Local and Ecumenical Councils, The Holy Canons, and a rich list of references.
