Marvin Meyer is one of the leading experts on the secret gospels Gospel of Thomas, Secret Gospel of Mark, and others who has changed forever how we read the canonical gospels and understand early Christianity. In this new collection of his work, Meyer looks at these revolutionary texts in original and illuminating ways. He writes, for example, about the naked youths in the villa of the Mysteries. On the walls of a villa in Pompeii, a famous mural depicts a naked male reading from a scroll, a look of wonder on his face. A naked youth again appears in the Gospel of Mark, abandoning his garment and fleeing naked when apprehended during Jesus' arrest. A similar youth appears in the Secret Gospel of Mark. These youths, Meyer proposes, serve as an image of religious initiation, candidates for the mysteries of Dionysus or of Christ. This is one of the many aspects of the secret gospels that Meyer examines with expert insight and creativity. Topics range from gender and infancy stories to discipleship and the relationship of the Gospel of Thomas to Islamic literature. Meyer's spellbinding readings of these materials offer fresh understandings of the canonical gospels. Marvin Meyer is Griset Professor of Bible and Christian Studies, and Director of the Albert Schweitzer Institute at Chapman University, Orange, California. He is author of The Secret Teachings of Jesus: Four Gnostic Gospels and The Gospel of Thomas: The Hidden Sayings of Jesus, and co-editor of Jesus Then and Now (Trinity Press International).

No Two Alike documents an exhibition curated by Ulrike Meyer Stump as part of Cincinnati's 2018 FotoFocus Biennial, with its general theme "Open Archive." The exhibition restages the historic encounter between Karl Blossfeldt’s plant photographs and Francis Bruguière’s light designs held at the Warren Gallery in London in 1929 and juxtaposes it with the Photograms and Negatives series by contemporary artist Thomas Ruff. The combination of Blossfeldt's biomorphism and Bruguière's abstraction offers clues for the understanding of British modernism, and offers insight into the role photography and photobooks played in the British avant-garde. Throughout his career, Thomas Ruff has expressed great interest in the history of photography and has repeatedly shown a special affinity with Blossfeldt (particularly in his Negatives series); Bruguière's abstract light compositions, on the other hand, have strong formal ties to Ruff's photograms. "No two alike" expresses the three artists' mutual interest in the variant as a creative principle, also advancing the idea that each of these bodies of work presents a variant of the other.

Neu -Die große Denkerin und ihr Werk - auf Basis neuer Quellen»Ich glaube nicht, dass es irgendeinen Denkvorgang gibt, der ohne persönliche Erfahrung möglich ist. Alles Denken ist Nachdenken, der Sache nach - denken.« Für Thomas Meyer bilden diese Sätze den Leitfaden seiner Biografie Hannah Arendts. Ihm folgt Meyer, wenn er anhand neuer Quellen ihr Leben und Werk von Königsberg nach New York, von der Dissertation über Augustin bis hin zum unvollendeten Opus magnum »Vom Leben des Geistes« nachzeichnet und deutet. Seine Biografie beleuchtet die Faszination und die Kritik, die ihre Person und ihre Schriften zeitlebens auslösten, und macht dabei sowohl für Interessierte wie für Kenner das Phänomen »Hannah Arendt« verständlicher.Der hier gewählte Zugang unterscheidet sich radikal von der bisherigen Forschung. Erstmals werden bislang völlig unbekanntes Archivmaterial und andere zuvor ignorierte Dokumente herangezogen, um Arendt in ihrer Zeit dazustellen. Dabei konzentriert sich die Biografie auf zwei Lebensphasen Arendts: die Pariser Jahre nach der Flucht aus Deutschland und die Zeit in den USA bis zur Publikation ihres ersten Hauptwerkes »Origins of Totalitarianism« 1951, auf Deutsch 1955 unter dem Titel »Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft« erschienen.Daraus ergeben sich neue Perspektiven auf Arendts revolutionäres Denken. Thomas Meyers Biografie ist der Ausgangspunkt für eine notwendige Neubewertung von Arendts Leben und Werk. 528 pp. Deutsch

Drawn by the mysterious mount Etna, Thomas Meyer sets off on a quest to discover the secrets of the Mediterranean islands of Sicily and Stromboli. The Sicilian region is not only famous for the drama of its live volcanoes, but also for its associations with numerous cultural figures, ranging from Cain, Empedocles, Klingsor, and the much maligned Cagliostro, through to Goethe and Rudolf Steiner. The author ponders their lives, work, and karmic connections, while unexpected meetings with cryptic strangers result in discussions that are filled with spiritual insights and pearls of wisdom.   Meyer’s travelogue is at once engaging, poetic, and deeply esoteric, drawing parallels between the burning lava of Etna and Stromboli and the soul lava through which our spiritual feet must wade in the present day. In meditations on the Guardian of the Threshold and the explosive popularity of football, we are led to the conclusion that today human beings need to develop ‘spiritual feet’ to cross the boundary to higher worlds. The author’s final trip coincides with the recent natural catastrophe in Nepal, which prompts him to ask whether humanity can begin to take inner responsibility for the many such disasters (particularly earthquakes and volcanic eruptions) that take place around the world. For these natural calamities, says Meyer, are intimately related to our untamed passions and emotions.

The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, edited by Marvin Meyer, is the most complete, up-to-date, one-volume, English-language edition of the renowned library of Gnostic manuscripts discovered in Egypt in 1945, which rivaled the Dead Sea Scrolls find in significance. It includes the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and the recently discovered Gospel of Judas, as well as other Gnostic gospels and sacred texts. This volume also includes introductory essays, notes, tables, glossary, index, etc. to help the reader understand the context and contemporary significance of these texts which have shed new light on early Christianity and ancient thought. The compilation of ancient manuscripts that constitute The Nag Hammadi Scriptures is a discovery that challenges everything we thought we knew about the early Christian church, ancient Judaism, and Greco-Roman religions.

Announcing the completely revised and updated edition of The Wine Bible, the perennial bestselling wine book praised as “The most informative and entertaining book I’ve ever seen on the subject” (Danny Meyer), “A guide that has all the answers” (Bobby Flay), “Astounding” (Thomas Keller), and “A magnificent masterpiece of wine writing” (Kevin Zraly). Like a lively course from an expert teacher, The Wine Bible grounds the reader deeply in the fundamentals while layering on informative asides, tips, amusing anecdotes, definitions, glossaries, photos (all new for this edition), maps, labels, and recommended bottles. Karen MacNeil’s information comes directly through primary research; for this second edition she has tasted more than 10,000 wines and visited dozens of wine regions around the world. New to the book are wines of China, Japan, Mexico, and Slovenia. And through it all the reader becomes ever more informed—and, because of the author’s unique voice, always entertained: “In great years Pétrus is ravishing, elegant, and rich—Ingrid Bergman in red satin.” Or, describing a Riesling: “A laser beam. A sheet of ice. A great crackling bolt of lightning.”  

Neuware - Dies ist einer der umfangreichsten und ohne Frage einer der bedeutendsten Briefwechsel von Thomas Mann, Zeugnis einer Bezie-hung unähnlich jeder anderen des großen Schriftstellers. Ohne Agnes Meyer wäre sein Wohnen, Wirken und Bestehen in Amerika kaum denkbar. Thomas Manns Lebensumstände von 1937 bis 1945 werden do-kumentiert und veranschaulicht - in der Korrespondenz selbst und dank der überlegenen Kennerschaft des Herausgebers in Einleitung und Anmerkungen, die allen Ursprüngen, Fakten und Zusammenhängen nachgehen. Faszinierend ist der Vergleich mit den synchronen Tagebucheintragungen des Autors.Agnes E. Meyer, geborene Ernst (2.1.1887-1.9.1970), Amerikanerin deutscher Abstammung, bereiste nach bester akademischer Ausbildung Europa und machte dort die nähere Bekanntschaft bedeutender Persönlichkeiten. Sie heiratete den Bankier und Finanzpolitiker Eugene Meyer. Er kaufte und leitete mit reger Beteiligung seiner Frau die 'Washington Post'. Im April 1937 interviewte Agnes Meyer den berühmten Emigranten. Von da an datiert eine Korrespondenz, der er »mehr Gedanken, Nervenkraft, Arbeit am Schreibtisch« widmen sollte »als sonst irgendeiner Beziehung auf der Welt«. Ihr ging es um geistige und nicht nur geistige Partnerschaft. Er nahm ihre Hilfe, ihre Großzügigkeit an - »tief dankbar gerührt von Ihrer liebe- und mühevollen aktiven Versenkung in meine geistige Existenz« - und scheute doch die persönliche Annäherung. Der Briefwechsel gibt reiche Auskünfte über Thomas Manns Arbeit, vor al-lem am 'Doktor Faustus', das wechselvolle Verhältnis zu seinem Gastland, die Entfremdung vom Amerika des kalten Krieges, die Rückkehr nach Europa. Der zeitweilig stürmische Dialog dämpfte sich, wurde abgeklärt, er verstummte nicht. Erfüllung fand diese Beziehung im souveränen Dienst, den eine macht- und gefühlvolle Frau einem von ihr als groß Begriffenen erwies.
