I try to mitigate the horror with the poetry that I obstinately seek out, even when it is death, brutal death, that's represented, which history always brings us."
Maurizio Galimberti After his renowned portraits of international celebrities and photos of the Big Apple, after the incredible work he undertook in 2019 in producing his photographic book on Leonardo's Last Supper, Maurizio Galimberti is embarking on a new venture: to tell the story of a century of history from 1917 to 2018, through his own very personal perspective.
The Great War is portrayed through the remarkable film of that name by Mario Monicelli, and the image is one that sets two men in front of a crossroads: Vittorio Gassman and Alberto Sordi. Anna Magnani in Roma Città Aperta (Rome, Open City) and Sofia Loren in La Ciociara (Two Women) both repeat the same gesture, the former as she rushes forward, and the latter as she crouches on the ground to be transformed by Galimberti into a Brancusian column. Nikita Krushchev bangs his shoe like an ectoplasm on the table at the UN, while his face turns into Munch's scream. An East German soldier (Conrad Schumann) leaps over the wall dividing East from West Berlin and on the right the Polaroids seem to show us a kiss. John Fitzgerald Kennedy hurtles towards his death (and sleeps like a child in this photograph) while his wife throws herself onto the back of the car to retrieve the pulped remains of his brains. Martin Luther King lifts a finger that tur

What they Didn't Teach You in Sunday School
Format: Paperback
Often when reading through the Bible, whether one does so for religious reasons or not, we miss details in the background. Or we do not take into consideration cultural context while interpreting passages. Sometimes, due to difficulties in translating ancient languages into modern ones, some things are literally lost in translation. In this volume, where Godawa collects material he has previously published into one volume, he examines many of these issues. In particular, he focuses on topics that have long mystified people and been the subject of much conjecture and fictionalization: Nephilim, Watchers and giants. He also takes a close look at verses that may have had supernatural elements inadvertently scrubbed: The strange ariel creatures in 2 Samuel 23:20 translated instead into men, or the demons and goblins of Isaiah 13:21-22 written off as wild animals, etc. Clues to a different ancient world than usually supposed?
The only misstep is his adherence to the John Walton ANE interpretation. This is based on superficial interpretation, and worse history (e.g. the whole ANE "dome" interpretation of creation is largely mythical). Walton's books haves done a huge disservice in undermining biblical inerrancy. See Hugh Ross' Rescuing Inerrancy for more on Walton and others who aren't too good at biblical study.
There's a lot of food for thought in these pages. For more, see

Great supplement to Bible study
Format: Paperback
Stimulating reading for science-minded and biblically minded readers. The author who wrote this book has a lot to say about some of the strange images we read about in the Bible. Giants, flying reptiles, satyrs, fauns, denizens, angels, demons, etc. Once I read this, I began realizing that much of the strange things we see in the world outside the Bible are about as realistic as some of these images mentioned in the Bible. The battle between our minds and our souls carries on.

Informational but not what I expected.
Format: Paperback
The facts as they relate to the bible and some other scripts are good, but it would have been better if they were backed up with scientific facts and Egyptian findings. This would have given a broader and more open-minded big picture. I was disappointed overall.

My brain needed this book.
Format: Paperback
What a refreshing cup of water to a thirsty mind! I'm so glad I stumbled across this book and this author, Brian Godawa. I was beginning to think I was the only person on earth who had questions about traditional Christianity versus ancient cultures as well as other mysteries on our earth, and this book has made some links and clarifications on some fascinating subjects that aren't dealt with much in the modern church. It didn't matter that this book is a compilation of appendices based on his research for one of his fiction series. It read, easily, as a non-fiction book and I appreciated how the author used facts based off of biblical and other ancient documents in a rather logical way, with limited conjecture and emotion. I tried absorbing the information in this book as quickly as possible, and already have admired and desired the author's other utterly fascinating book offers. Thank you, Mr. Godawa, for your seeming unrelentless pursuit of truth! I stand with you.
