In lively, forceful, and at times witty language, Michael Lieb has written an illuminating study of the figure of God as a literary character in the writings of John Milton. Milton’s God has always been a provocative and controversial figure, and Lieb offers a fresh way to look at the relationship between the language of theology and the language of poetry in Milton’s works. He draws into the discussion previous authors on the subject Patrides, Hunter, Kelley, Empson, Danielson, Rumrich, and others resulting in a dynamic debate about Milton’s multifarious God. By stressing God’s multivalent qualities, Theological Milton offers an innovative perspective on the darker side of the divinity. Lieb allows us to see a Miltonic God of hate as well as a God of love, a God who is a creator as well as a destroyer. Lieb directly confronts the more troubling faces of God in a manner richly informed by Milton’s own theology. Against the theoretical framework for the idea of addressing God as a distinctly literary figure, Lieb presents Milton in the historical milieu prior to and contemporaneous with his works. More cogently than others, Lieb clarifies Milton’s theology of the godhead and the various heresies, such as Socinianism and Arianism, that informed the religious controversies of the seventeenth century. He does so in a manner that exemplifies how literary studies and theology are inextricably intertwined.

First published in 1985, Chester Liebs' Main Street to Miracle Mile established the twentieth-century roadside landscape as a subject for serious study. Liebs traces the transformation of commercial development as it has moved from centralized main streets, out along the street car lines, to form the "miracle miles" and shopping malls of today. He also explores the evolution of roadside buildings, from supermarkets and motels to automobile showrooms and drive-in theaters. Both an historical survey and invaluable guide for reading highway landscapes, this classic work―which has inspired numerous studies, museum exhibits, and preservation efforts―is now back in print with new commentary by the author.

Summoned to the Roman Courts is the first work by Detlef Liebs, an internationally recognized expert on ancient Roman law, to be made available in English. Originally presented as a series of popular lectures, this book brings to life a thousand years of Roman history through sixteen studies of famous court cases―from the legendary trial of Horatius for the killing of his sister, to the trial of Jesus Christ, to that of the Christian leader Priscillian for heresy. Drawing on a wide variety of ancient sources, the author not only paints a vivid picture of ancient Roman society, but also illuminates how ancient legal practices still profoundly affect how the law is implemented today.

From Honus Wagner to Johnny Bench, Baseball As I Have Known It covers sixty-six seasons of America’s national sport. Fred Lieb, the dean of baseball writers, tells about its heroes, rogues, controversies, and grand plays. He broke in as a sportswriter in the Polo Grounds press box in 1911. In 1933, in the midst of the Depression, Lieb was fired from the New York Post and began a freelance career writing about his beloved sport. Baseball As I Have Known It, first published in 1977 when Lieb was eighty-nine years old, remains a vital record of a glorious bygone era. In superb style, he comments on changes in baseball over the decades and tells inside stories about great events and immortal players.

Neuware - Detlef Liebs erzählt in seinem neuen Buch von bahnbrechenden Prozessen der römischen Antike. Dabei geht es unter anderem um Mord, Unruhestiftung, Mitgiftjagd, Hexerei und Ketzerei.

Wie stellt der Vertreter des römischen Kaisers die Ordnung in einer der unruhigsten Provinzen des Reiches wieder her Im Jahre 64 n. Chr. brennt Rom, das Volk ist empört, der Kaiser selbst gerät in Verdacht. Wie schiebt er nun die Schuld den Christen in die Schuhe Dreihundert Jahre später sind die Christen selbst am Ruder, doch gibt es unter ihnen Streit um den rechten Weg zur Erlösung. Wie gehen die einstigen Glaubensbrüder miteinander um, da sie sich als Ketzer verdächtigen Detlef Liebs vermittelt ein lebendiges Bild vom Rechtsalltag in der römischen Antike und erhellt, wie Wertvorstellungen und Lösungsansätze von einst Jahrtausende überdauert haben.

Seit Hingerem fehlt eine knapp gefaBte und zugleich wissen schaftlich wohl begrtindete Universitatsgeschichte, die tiber den Kreis der Historiker hinaus ein groBeres Publikum an spricht. Professor Dr. phil. Peter Classen, ausgewiesen als be ster Kenner der mittelalterlichen Geschichte, lieB sich fur die Aufgabe gewinnen. Bei seinem frtihen Tod im Dezember 1980 lag ein Manuskript, mit Auslassungen im 15. und 18. Jahrhun dert, fur die Zeit bis zum Ubergang Heidelbergs an Baden vor. Professor Dr. phil. Eike Wolgast, der die Neuere Geschichte an unserer Universitat vorzUglich vertritt, fand sich dazu bereit, das Werk zu Ende zu fuhren. Er fullte die LUcken und fugte die Geschichte der Ruperto Carola im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert hinzu. So vereint das Buch denn zwei Handschriften. Die ver haltnismaBig groBere Ausfuhrlichkeit des zweiten Teils hat ih ren guten Grund: fur diesen Zeitraum fehlt eine modeme Ge samtdarstellung ganz. Vollstandigkeit lieB sich freilich bei dem vorgegebenen Umfang der Schrift nicht anstreben. Beide Autoren haben sich mit ihrer Arbeit den Dank der Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat und ihrer Freunde verdient, des gleichen der Verlag, der das Werk bereitwillig fOrderte, und die Universitatsgesellschaft, die zu den Druckkosten beitrug.
