Maria Maddalena è una delle figure più presenti nei racconti della Passione e della Risurrezione. Eppure, nel corso dei secoli, è stata spesso confusa con altre donne menzionate nei Vangeli — con effetti duraturi sul modo in cui molti cristiani hanno imparato a guardarla. Questo libro ripercorre con sobrietà e rigore ciò che i quattro Vangeli attestano realmente: la sua presenza presso la croce, l’attenzione al luogo della sepoltura, il cammino verso il sepolcro alle prime luci del mattino e l’incarico di portare il primo annuncio della Risurrezione. In seguito mostra come ...

A brief passage, a long history of interpretation. Genesis 6:1–4 is striking for its brevity—and for the centuries of debate it has provoked. In only a few lines, Scripture names the “sons of God” and the Nephilim, yet offers almost no explanation, leaving readers to wrestle with the text itself. This book stays close to the wording of the passage and keeps a careful distinction: what the text actually says and how it has been read. It guides the reader through the major interpretive lines that emerged in Jewish and Christian tradition, without allowing later systems to drown out ...

Was there a woman before Eve? The question does not arise from a single text or a single moment in time. It moves across centuries, reappears in different forms, and is often attributed to writings that never posed it in this way. Between what is written and what later came to be told, a space opens—and it is within that space that legend takes hold. This book traces the emergence and development of this idea through the very texts and traditions that shaped it. It begins in the ancient world, where names associated with night, wilderness, and desolation belonged to the religious and ...

C’è stata una donna prima di Eva? La domanda non nasce da un solo testo né da un’unica epoca. Attraversa i secoli, riemerge in forme diverse e finisce spesso per essere attribuita a scritti che non l’hanno mai formulata in questi termini. Tra ciò che è scritto e ciò che è stato tramandato si apre uno spazio — ed è in questo spazio che la leggenda prende forza. Questo libro segue l’origine e lo sviluppo di tale idea a partire dagli stessi testi e dalle tradizioni che l’hanno generata. Muove dal mondo antico, dove nomi legati alla notte, al deserto e alla desolazione ...

Midnight Pavements gathers urban legends from the UK and Ireland as they are still passed on—at bus stops, in pubs, on late walks home, and along roads people mention by name. Entries are brief and clear, drawn from oral tellings and printed sources where they exist. Where possible, the book notes early mentions, common variants, and places linked to a tale; where details are uncertain, that uncertainty is stated directly. Stark black-and-white ink drawings hold the atmosphere. This first volume follows the folklore of ordinary routes after dark: the stretch of road, the house with a ...

Solomon: redemption or ruin? He’s remembered as the king of extraordinary wisdom and the builder of Jerusalem’s Temple. Yet when the story reaches its most decisive point, the biblical narrative falls strangely silent. This book follows the tension between Solomon’s early brilliance and his later spiritual fracture.

Without a dogmatic agenda, it gathers the major ...

Lucifer: Between the Morning Star and Satan explores one of the most enigmatic figures in biblical and Christian tradition. Who is “Lucifer,” really? A fallen angel? A poetic image? A name created by translation? And what does the Bible actually say — as opposed to what later tradition assumed? This book offers a clear and rigorous journey through biblical, Jewish, and Christian sources, carefully distinguishing between text, history, and interpretation. From Isaiah’s poetic taunt to the Latin translation lucifer, from Satan’s role in the Old Testament to Second Temple Judaism, ...
