With Lady Audley's Secret, Mary Elizabeth Braddon had established herself, alongside Wilkie Collins and Mrs Henry Wood, as one of the ruling triumvirate of sensation novelists'. Aurora Floyd (1862-3), following hot on its heels, achieved almost equal popularity and notoriety.Like Lady Audley, Aurora is a beautiful young woman bigamously married and threatened with exposure by a blackmailer. But in Aurora Floyd, and in many of the novels written in imitation of it, bigamy is little more than a euphemism, a device to enable the heroine, and vicariously the reader, to enjoy the forbidden sweets of adultery without adulterous intentions. Passionate, sometimes violent, Aurora does succeed in enjoying them, her desires scarcely chastened by her disastrous first marriage. She represents a challenge to the mid-Victorian sexual code, and particularly to the feminine ideal of simpering, angelic young ladyhood.
P. D. Edward's introduction evaluates the novel's leading place among bigamy-novels' and Braddon's treatment of the power struggle between the sexes, as well as considering the similarities between the author and her heroine.

A simple book with a powerful message!
Format: Paperback
A simple book with a powerful message!
If you are looking for a laymen’s guide on the arguments for the resurrection of Jesus, from every conceivable angle, then this book is for you. Habermas and Licona are two Bible scholars that have joined forces to provide both new and mature believer with everything they need to know to share their faith and knowledge on the resurrection of Jesus.
One of the great strengths of the book is that right from the start Habermas and Licona give us what they believe is a very powerful strategy for sharing the story of the resurrection which they call a “minimal facts approach.” The great advantage of this approach is that we can stick to the topic of the resurrection and not get sidetracked to issues on the reliability of the Bible. In addition this approach considers only those data that are so strongly attested historically that almost every scholar (including the skeptical ones) accept their truthfulness.
Under this approach the authors suggest that the first four facts below are almost universally accepted by all types of scholars while the fifth fact is accepted by a majority of scholars:
1. Jesus died by crucifixion.
2. Jesus’ disciples believed that he rose and appeared to them.
3. The church persecutor Paul was suddenly changed.
4. The skeptic James, brother of Jesus, was suddenly changed.
5. The tomb was empty.
The book also discusses the many different theories that skeptics have used down through the centuries to debunk the resurrection of Jesus. Some of the most popular theories include: the resurrection being a legend, the disciples stole the body, the witnesses went to the wrong tomb, the apparent death theory and the hallucination hypotheses. One by one Habermas and Licona give detailed reasons why each theory fails to align with the five minimal facts shared above. Throughout the book the authors appeal to both biblical and extra-biblical sources to make their case.
I especially enjoyed reading Chapter 8 – Naturally Speaking. In this chapter science, miracles and near-death experiences are discussed and the reader comes away with the realization that God does indeed exist.
Throughout the book a myriad of charts help to summarize each different idea and theory making it easy to remember the main arguments used to equip the believer with everything they need to make the case for the resurrection of Jesus.
I also found the chapter on People Skills especially practical in helping to prepare us with the wisdom we need to share everything we have learned in the book with skeptics and non-believers.
The appendix provides a very detailed outline of all the arguments and is the perfect refresher course for the book. The many pages of notes are an excellent source for anyone desiring to go deeper into the material. Finally the interactive game CD is a great way to reinforce many of the ideas from the book and is a fun way to help remember important themes.
