Pan Macmillan September 2021 Highlights
Pan Macmillan September 2021 Highlights They Got You Too Futhi Ntshingila Hans van Rooyen is a former police general raised by two women who survived the 1899 South African War. He finds himself being cared for in an old age home by the daughter of liberation struggle activists. At 80, he carries with him the memories of crimes he committed as an officer under the apartheid government. Having eluded the public confessions at the TRC for his time in the Border Wars, he retained his position in the democratic South Africa, serving as an institutional memory for a new generation of police recruits. Zoe Zondi is tasked to care for the old man. Her gentle and compassionate nature prompts Hans to review his decision to go to the grave with all his secrets. Zoe has her own life story to tell and, as their unlikely bond deepens, strengthened by the isolation that COVID-19 lockdown brings, they provide a safe space for each other to say the things that are often left unsaid. Futhi Ntshingila is a writer from Pietermaritzburg. The author of Shameless and Do Not Go Gentle, her work centres on women and marginalised communities. Futhi holds a Master’s Degree in Conflict Resolution and currently lives and works in Pretoria. • ISBN: 9781770107281 • Format: Trade Paperback • Genre: Fiction • Extent: TBC • Price: R290,00 IMMEDIATE RELEASE Shuggie Bain Winner of the Booker Prize 2020 July release Douglas Stuart It is 1981.

An Overview of the New Testament in Eight Weeks Arden C. Autry, Phd
An Overview of the New Testament in Eight Weeks Arden C. Autry, PhD Introduction An eight-week overview cannot cover everything in the New Testament. Instead we will focus on some of the key events and some of the most important contributions by individual NT writers. With that as our aim we hope to gain a sense of the New Testament’s unity, diversity, and theological development. The approach of this series will be partly chronological, but only in a general way. Obviously the events of the Gospels precede the events of Acts, and the events in Acts partially overlap with the historical contexts for some of Paul’s Epistles. But the earliest Epistle of Paul was almost certainly written before the first Gospel was written, and the Book of James was probably written before Paul’s earliest. With a strict chronological order being out of the question for such a series, the approach taken will be somewhat canonical (taking the books in the order found in the Bible). So, for example, we will treat Matthew before Mark, even though most NT scholars (including the author of this series) believe Mark was written before Matthew. When we get to the Epistles of Paul in Lessons 5-6, the canonical approach will not serve as well. The canonical order of Paul’s Epistles goes generally from longest to shortest, not from earliest to latest (e.g., the Thessalonian letters were written years before Romans). To attempt a chronological approach, however, would involve too much repetition and historical arguments for the chosen order.
