Book Description
Mystery fiction. Please note this is a gay fiction title. What seemed to be a harmless reunion of theater friends from college turns out to be anything but, and Cordelia Thorn's reaction to tragedy is to call in her old friend Jane Lawless. Soap opera star Diana Stanwood is the Shevlin Underground's biggest success, but the other five members of the troupe are deeply concerned about her life-threatening alcoholism. Trying to save Diana stirs memories-and secrets. When one of their own drops dead, the circumstances have Jane as worried as Cordelia. True to their friendship, Jane and the wise-cracking Cordelia follow their hunches, leading them into the not-so-carefree past and back to the troubled present, where they find a single match could blow up all their lives.

Book Description
Among the many religious acts condemned in the Hebrew Bible, child sacrifice stands out as particularly horrifying. The idea that any group of people would willingly sacrifice their own children to their god(s) is so contrary to modern moral sensibilities that it is difficult to imagine that such a practice could have ever existed. Nonetheless, the existence of biblical condemnation of these rites attests to the fact that some ancient Israelites in fact did sacrifice their children. Indeed, a close reading of the evidence—biblical, archaeological, epigraphic, etc.—indicates that there are at least three different types of Israelite child sacrifice, each with its own history, purpose, and function. In addition to examining the historical reality of Israelite child sacrifice, Dewrell’s study also explores the biblical rhetoric condemning the practice. While nearly every tradition preserved in the Hebrew Bible rejects child sacrifice as abominable to Yahweh, the rhetorical strategies employed by the biblical writers vary to a surprising degree. Thus, even in arguing against the practice of child sacrifice, the biblical writers themselves often disagreed concerning why Yahweh condemned the rites and why they came to exist in the first place.
