Undeniably, the Church’s teaching on the mystery of the Holy Trinity stands at the very heart of Christian belief. ![]() ![]() This paper explores the Trinitarian theology of St Basil with a view towards highlighting the harmonious synthesis of Greek paideia and the scriptural worldview. His achievement lay in his remarkable ability to ennoble the culture of the day with the Christian message without in any way compromising the latter. Indeed, he was responsible for articulating the ‘orthodox’ vision of God with theological and philosophical originality that truly laid the foundations upon which the way of pondering the Trinitarian mystery in the East was established. Abstract: St Basil’s contribution to the formulation of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity has long been acknowledged in the Christian tradition. ![]() ![]() ![]() “How’d you get involved with the mob in the first place?” I finally take my jacket from her, and she reaches for the handle.

When Nino and Kiara spoke the language of love through music to convey every tincture of their emotions and feelings left unsaid? Romance is not dead. Their marriage could have only been arranged and orchestrated by Remo Cora Lord Almighty himself with angels singing in the background. Upon each reread, the book doesn't cease to fascinate me: Nino and Kiara are so intrinsically, infinitely right for each other. ![]() Nino's duality has such a calming, comforting effect on me: like the cold, serene and deadly expanse of the ocean, he is only susceptible to one natural phenomenon: earthquake named Kiara, and I loved to watch the effect of disturbances she caused. ![]() ![]() ⋆The evolution from clinical killing machine to doting husband carrying a torch for the one and only⋆ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s hardly surprising that, for many readers and theatregoers, its unofficial alternative title is ‘the Beatrice and Benedick show’. Much Ado about Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s more straightforward comedies, in which the plot is simple but the fun is to be had in the skirmishes of wit between the secondary couple, who are far more interesting than the play’s nominal hero (no pun intended) and heroine. Hero and Claudio fall in love almost at first sight, but an outsider, Don John, strikes out at their happiness. Given that it’s nearly two years since the pandemic closed the country’s theatres, the time for a loud whoop of delight at this major milestone has probably passed it. One of Shakespeares most frequently performed comedies, Much Ado About Nothing includes two quite different stories of romantic love. Third, Borachio is ‘noted’ or overheard bragging about his part in bringing to fruition Don John’s plot, and Dogberry’s subsequent ‘noting’ of the events and clearing up of the mystery.

The portrait of Alroy Kear is absolutely wicked & made Walpole a laughing stock. The book is very funny but I can understand why Walpole (& Hardy’s widow, Florence) was so upset. In his satirical portrait of literary society, Maugham also pokes fun at critics, society painters & literary hostesses. He even wrote a letter to Maugham, asking why he had betrayed their friendship, & signed it Alroy Maugham Walpole. Hugh Walpole’s reputation never really recovered from his portrayal as Alroy Kear. After reading Walpole’s Rogue Herries last year & being reminded of the scandal, I wanted to read Cakes and Ale, which, of course, has been sitting on my tbr shelves since 2011. ![]() Hardy died in 1928, only two years before this book was published, & the critics were shocked at Maugham’s irreverence. I’ve always known that Somerset Maugham lampooned Hugh Walpole in this novel, Cakes and Ale, but I didn’t realise that he also used many recognisable aspects of the life of Thomas Hardy as well. ![]() ![]() Only brave, tenacious Emma with her knowledge of the land can restore order.
