The Poisoned Embrace is a provocative investigation into the history of sexual pessimism as it has evolved in Western theology throughout the ages. Since the days of the Early Fathers, sex and death have formed a theological equation known as sexual pessimism. This aversion to the carnal, and its consequent elevation of the virginal and the chaste, springs not from Christianity, but from Gnosticism. Osborne examines the art, mythologies, and traditions of Christendom, and distinguishes thematic archetypes: the Virgin, the Witch, the Leper, the Noble Savage, the Jew, the Oriental, the Androgyne, and Don Juan. He traces our now-glorified ideal of sexual passion back to the Troubadours and Northern Mystics, and explores how the Passion of the Cross relates the ideas of sublime passion and therapeutic energy.

2011年6月的《读书》上，登载了周颖的一篇书评“新约圣经：绝对神授还是历史产物”。介绍这本被华盛顿邮报评为“最不可能成为畅销书的畅销书”。《错引耶稣》2005年在美国出版，之后连续九周名列《纽约时报》的畅销榜，至今销售约三十八万册。《错引耶稣》的主要内容就是用严谨、确凿的证据和深入浅出的文字，来说明《圣经》的经文不是一成不变的神授本源，是什么人、为着什么缘故改动了经文。 如周颖在文章中所说：“《错引耶稣》推理严谨、行文生动，确属深入浅出、庄谐并蓄的雅俗共赏之作。倘若读者要找一本经文校勘学的入门书，或想要了解新约的传播史，或希望略知一二美国当前的经文研究动态，此书值得尝试。”

At a time when men and women were prepared to kill—and be killed—for their faith, the Reformation tore the western world apart. Acclaimed as the definitive account of these epochal events, Diarmaid MacCulloch's history brilliant re-creates the religious battles of priests, monarchs, scholars and politicians, from the zealous Luther to the radical Loyola, from the tortured Cranmer to the ambitious Philip II. Weaving together the many strands of Reformation and Counter-Reformation, ranging widely across Europe and even to the New World, MacCulloch also reveals as never before how these upheavals affected everyday lives—overturning ideas of love, sex, death and the supernatural, and shaping the modern age.

A monumental new history of Christianity from its beginnings as a persecuted cult, up to its present day international diversity. 'A model of condensation without simplification' - J.M Coetzee 'Clear and balanced. A triumph of compression...invaluable as a work of reference for students' - Karen Armstrong, "Times". 'A new and ambitious concept in presenting Christian history...a triumph. Never before, I suspect, has this cavalcade of thinkers been presented in a manner which so successfully combines depth, breadth, and succinctness' - Gerard Noel, "Catholic Herald".

她不是妓女，也不是惡魔附身， 她是一位博學多聞的女子，耶穌最鍾愛的門徒，帶領使徒的使徒。 關於馬利亞福音 真實馬利亞：妓女或聖女 抺大拉的馬利亞在一般人的印象中大多是個從良的妓女，事實上聖經裡並沒有這樣的證據，這個印象是來自教宗國瑞一世西元五九一年的一篇講道詞，直指馬利亞為《路加福音》提到的妓女，但近世教會的立場改變，就連教宗若望保祿二世也曾稱馬利亞為「帶領使徒的使徒」。 除了出現在《聖經‧新約》四本福音書，另外有七本成書於西元一至三世紀的宗教書籍提及一個叫馬利亞的不凡女子，其中一本即名為《馬利亞福音》，這本十九世紀重新見世的福音書顯示馬利亞是耶穌最鍾愛的信徒和傑出的信仰領袖。這些真實文獻呈現的馬利亞充滿靈性智慧，深得耶穌思想的精髓，與耶穌關係密切，而且彼得對她充滿敵意。 關於本書 這本書出版的過程，是一個傳奇！《抹大拉的馬利亞》最早是2005年3月由一家名為Eio Books的小出版社出版，出版後沒多久即銷售一空宣告絕版，沒想到在絕版後閱讀的熱潮才剛剛開始，深受感動的讀者因為買不到書只得以影印傳閱推介，最後，這一本以西元前後二世紀的靈知派傳統為背景的馬利亞小說，終於傳到了藍燈集團旗下編輯的手裡，觸動了編輯的心，2007年決定重新上市出版，一上市即擠入亞馬遜暢銷排行榜內，被譽為是至今最好的一本馬利亞小說。在這本作者花了七年查考資料及創作的小說裡，馬利亞並不僅僅是耶穌所愛的女人，她更有「通曉一切者」（who knew the all）之稱，也是耶穌最愛的門徒。此書已賣出多國語言版本，目前並改拍電影中。 終有一天，世人會看清耶穌的真實面貎，他以親身體驗，教導我們人人都能超越凡俗。 待那一天到來，我的名號「神殿塔樓的她」，亦稱門徒約翰，也將再度揚名天下。 我不在乎自己的名字隨風而逝， 因為我只為讚揚約瑟之子耶和書亞與他的弟弟── 人稱「匕首幫人猶大」的猶大──而開口。──抺大拉的馬利亞

《圣经》是世界上用多种文字出版发行的最广泛的书籍之一，房龙写的这本书却是一部通俗的历史读物，帮助读者探索人类早期文明的一个分支：犹太教产生、发展时代的人们的生活方式、思维方式……这就形成了这本书与一般圣经故事读物的不同之处。
