A Passover Haggadah for Christians
BRUCE FINGERHUT

In A Passover Haggadah for Christians, Bruce Fingerhut,
president of St. Augustine’s Press, presents a haggadah
for a Passover seder similar to the one that Jesus Himself
celebrated. And it presents a commentary that shows the important divergences that Jesus presented in the Last
Supper (e.g., washing the feet of the Disciples, leaving
the room for Gethsemene after the third cup of wine,
speaking of his betrayal in terms of the one who dips his
bread with Him, and, of course, presenting Himself as the
bread and wine of the celebration).

Baseball and Memory
Winning, Losing, and the
Remembrance of Things Past

LEE CONGDON

Baseball fans, and people who find them puzzling,
are amazed by fans’ memories. That is, they are amazed
by the amount of memory storage space occupied by
stuff like the name of the man Bob Feller almost picked
off second base in the 1948 World Series (The Boston
Braves’ Phil Masi). Now comes Lee Congdon to explain
why baseball is for America what the madeleine was for
Proust, and why that is such a wholesome thing.
– George Will, columnist and author of Men at Work:
The Craft of Baseball

An Ocean Full of Angels
The Autobiography of ‘Isa Ben Adam
PETER KREEFT

[In the publisher’s words:] This is the damnedest novel
you’ll ever read. It’s more an autobiography or a
rumination on the state of man’s soul from an exciting
and fascinating writer. I can only compare it to reading
The Brothers Karamazov
the second time, after you
realize that the whole center section on the teachings of
Fr. Zosima is the central core of the novel or, if you have
a larger capacity for crap than I have, reading Ayn
Rand’s Atlas Shrugged without becoming a cult member.

  The Anti-Emile
Reflections on the Theory and Practice of
Education against the Principles of Rousseau

H. S. GERDIL

A timely translation of a compelling 18th-century
critique of Rousseau by the neglected Italian author,
Hyacinth S. Gerdil (1718–1802). Gerdil’s Anti-Emile may
have been written as a critique of Rousseau’s Emile, but
it can equally be read as a critique of the philosophy
embraced by the American educational establishment.
Through the influence of John Dewey, Rousseau came
to inform much of the educational theory regnant in the
United States, with disastrous consequences now
acknowledged by nearly all.
