For Your Freedom and Ours: The Kosciuszko Squadron - Forgotten Heroes of World War II

Seeing Salvation
This book, produced to accompany the millennial exhibition Seeing Salvation: the Image of Christ at the National Gallery, London, reveals how the challenge of representing Christ has been confronted through the ages. It explores how artists have portrayed someone who is both God and man, human and divine, mortal and immortal.
Painting the Word: Christian Pictures and Their Meanings
In this beautifully written book John Drury brings his knowledge and experience as both priest and biblical scholar to Christian paintings and presents them to us afresh. He shows how the images in works by artists from Duccio to Velazquez have a universal quality that fills them with passion, stories, and meaning, not only for audiences of the past but also for viewers today.
The Effective Teaching of Religious Education
Religious education is an area of complexity and controversy which raises many questions throughout education, such as why teach RE in schools? What is the relevance of religion in a secular society? Can anyone teach it? How should world religions be taught? How can students be assessed?

Whale Rider (DVD)
One of the most charming and critically acclaimed films of 2003, the New Zealand hit Whale Rider effectively combines Maori tribal tradition with the timely "girl power" of a vibrant new millennium.
