Paul Wright N. T.

In this definitive biography, renowned Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author N. T. Wright offers a radical look at the apostle Paul, illuminating the humanity and remarkable achievements of this intellectual who invented Christian theology--transforming a faith and changing the world.For centuries, Paul, the apostle who saw the light on the Road to Damascus and made a miraculous conversion from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Christ, has been one of the church's most widely cited saints.

A tizenkét éves Dámamezey Alíz Alexandrának csupán három dolog számít: Anya, aki folyton ostorozza; a mágia és a szín, amelyek messziről kerülik; és Apa, aki mindig is szerette. Apa egy szál vonalzóval a kezében tűnik el Fenyérhátról, és három évvel később Alíz még mindig nem adja fel a reményt, hogy egyszer megtalálja. Apát ugyanis még a kalandoknál is jobban szereti, és hajlandó elindulni élete legnagyobb utazására, hogy a nyomára bukkanjon.Kedvenc gyerekkori olvasmányai, például a Titkos kert és a Narnia Krónikái ihlették a népszerű Tahereh Mafit eme új világ megalkotására, ahol a szín fizetőeszköznek számít, a kaland elkerülhetetlen, a barátságra pedig a legváratlanabb helyeken talál rá az ember.A nagysikerű Ne érints trilógia szerzője ezúttal a képzelet határain segít átlendülni az olvasóknak ebben a lebilincselő, modernkori tündérmesében.
