United in Jesus, United in Joy
Chapel is an important part of our life together at Union University, giving us an opportunity to gather twice a week as a community to hear from God in his Word and respond to him. These services remind us of our grounding in Scripture and of the centrality of Jesus Christ to our lives. For the last several years in the Spring semester we have dedicated certain chapel services to sermons working their way through a specific book of the Bible. In the Spring of 2024, we focused on Philippians. Our community has been blessed by these series over the years, so we thought there would be value in gathering this most recent series into written form for wider dissemination. Philippians is commonly listed among people's favorite books of the Bible. Dr. Paul Caudill wrote, "The book of Philippians is one of the loveliest portions of the Bible." Indeed Dr. A. T. Robertson, that giant of New Testament scholarship, said, "Nowhere does Paul have more 'charm, ' to use Ramsay's phrase, than in Philippians. Nowhere is he more vital and more powerful. Paul was not merely a man of supreme genius and high culture but one who let himself go completely in spiritual abandonment to the love and life of Jesus." It has been our pleasure to work through this letter together. Two of the most consistent and significant themes in Philippians (and in these sermons) are unity and joy, both of which are clearly grounded in Jesus Christ. Therefore, our title for this book-United in Jesus, United in Joy-arises from that reality. In preparing these sermons for publication, we have not sought to turn them into essays but have intentionally maintained the oral, sermonic form in all their particularity. Our hope is that this work might encourage other Christians as they learn more about this particular book of the Bible, the truths it proclaims, and the Savior it exalts. We also hope it will be a resource for other preachers as they prepare to preach through Philippians.

The Night Land
Aeons in the future, Earth's surface faces perpetual night after the failing of the Sun. Humanity is entrenched within the Last Redoubt, a colossal metal pyramid. Beyond the safety of its structure lurk countless unknowable threats. William Hope Hodgson's strange, visionary novel of humanity's struggle for survival in the eternal darkness of the future was first published in 1912, and is widely acknowledged to be one of the foundation works of the 'Dying Earth' subgenre of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Written in a style composed of strange archaisms which fuel the weird sense of disorientation, this cult classic has won the admiration of writers from Brian Aldiss to C S Lewis, who wrote: 'The Night Land gives, like certain rare dreams, sensations we never had before.'

Concerning the Spiritual in Art
A treatise on the spiritual in contemporary painting to adopt new, metaphysical ways of conceiving of and creating art, by one of the most impactful and recognized artists of the twentieth century, in a new translation for the first time since publication A Penguin Classic In Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Wassily Kandinsky, one of the most famous abstract painters of all time, urges the reader to free themselves from art's traditional bonds to material reality. In this radical theoretical work, he calls for a spiritual revolution in painting, arguing that artists, much like musicians, should be allowed to express their own inner lives in abstract, non-material terms. Investigating form and colour, spirituality and tradition, Kandinsky explores art's resonance with the soul, its purpose and nature, and its power to inspire us, to stir our emotions and to help us see beyond the limits of our world. A significant contribution to the understanding of non-objectivism in art, this book serves as an important landmark in modern art history and is necessary reading for every artist and art-lover.

This book is both a gentle and powerful reminder of the role we play here and now, as the heirs of those who came before us.It goes beyond the future of dog breeding: it calls on us to live our time with awareness, to become thoughtful and responsible stewards of a legacy shaped by knowledge, instinct, and the choices of past generations.Within these pages is a celebration of the beauty and functionality of the dog - particularly the sighthound, a breed close to the authors' hearts.

Lartigue / Kert矇sz
"The greatest amateur photographer" meets "the inventor of photojournalism" in this survey of two documentarians, each with a sympathetic personal eyeBorn in the same year and dying within a year of one another, Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986) and Andr矇 Kert矇sz (1894-1985) led contrasting lives that produced different yet equally remarkable photographic portfolios. Their work was shown at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1963 and 1964, respectively, but while Lartigue was dubbed an "amateur," Kert矇sz was hailed as "the inventor of photojournalism." Both oeuvres are characterized by a unique, highly personal aesthetic--Lartigue candid, Kert矇sz reflective--that set them apart from other modalities of image-making, and served as inspiration for later generations when they both reached acclaim in the 1970s. Lartigue / Kert矇sz pays tribute to these two paragons by comparing their parallel careers through a selection of 185 photographs, in color and black and white, highlighting the similarities and singularities of their approaches to the art of photography.

Dirty Old River
A collection of essays by British architect Tom Emerson. Dirty Old River brings together twelve essays penned by Tom Emerson over the past two decades. Written on very different occasions as contributions to books or articles in magazines, they explore a wide range of topics through the lens of architecture. The book's title is borrowed from the British rock band The Kinks' cult song "Waterloo Sunset" to symbolize a journey through the interweaving of culture, imagination, and the built environment. Naturally, Emerson writes about architecture: how it is designed, drawn, and built. Yet he also turns his attention to other, wider fields, from the transformation of materials to the nuances of human creativity, the explosive early works of his celebrated fellow architect Frank O. Gehry, and the intimate craftsmanship behind the literary spaces of French writer Georges Perec. Emerson's unique approach to writing is often inspired by sideways glances and disciplines beyond architecture. He offers a new perspective on how things are made, why they take shape the way that they do, and what these processes reveal about humanity.

Wolf Moon
A tense, lyrical novel of life on the run in Franco's Spain that offers a bold, timeless challenge against fascism and authoritarianism. FOR FANS OF ROGUE MALE A literary thriller full of action and dramatic landscapes, and the first novel to break the national pact of silence after Francisco Franco's death. 1937. Having lost the Civil War in Spain, four republican soldiers lead a fugitive existence deep in the Cantabrian mountains. They are on the run, skirmishing with Franco's soldiers, knowing that surrender means execution. Wounded and hungry, the hold-outs are drawn from the safety of the mountains into the villages they once inhabited, not only risking their lives but also the lives of anyone caught helping them. Trapped in the lonely mountains, with their harsh winters and unforgiving summers, it is only a matter of time before the Fascists hunt them down. Living in caves, barely surviving on scraps provided by the villagers they dare to make contact with, ?ngel and his friends are tortured by heat, cold, damp, hunger and above all, fear - fear for themselves, and for those still willing to help them. And if they do survive, what kind of country will there be left to live in? First published in 1985, Wolf Moon was the first novel to break with the Pacto de Olvido, a political and cultural amnesty in Spain, following Franco's death in 1975, which provided cover for the regime's supporters. Brimming with tension and violence, it is a testament to enduring loyalty: to a cause, to justice, and to brothers-in-arms.

Florian Graf
Features artist Florian Graf's playful yet thought-provoking public art project. Swiss artist Florian Graf conceived his School Models art project for the public space in the city of Zurich. Situated within the schoolyard of a public secondary school, it is comprised of models of three buildings on the campus, each representing a period of architectural history. Graf's white limestone sculptures of 1:20 scale are supported by oversized, multi-colored Terrazzo toy blocks. Students are invited to view their school buildings in entirely new ways, such as seating or as meeting places. The interplay of proportions between oversized blocks and miniature school buildings, as well as the actual school buildings used as a backdrop, prompts a re-evaluation of the underlying power dynamics and interpretations that shape educational systems. This book documents a unique public art project that evokes interaction through images and supplementing texts. It illuminates key terms such as education, model, collaboration, and resonance. The book also invites a reflection on the evolution of education and its institutions over time.
