The new millennium forces us to reflect on systems for counting time and distinguishing historical eras. This exhaustive, authoritative study describes not only the origins and the early development of the Dionysian system of dating (named after Dionisius Exiguus), from its invention until its adoption throughout Western Europe in the course of the eleventh century, but also its antecedents in Late Antiquity and the general context in which this era was conceived. The result is a broad chronological and geographical survey, encompassing developments over a period of one thousand years in both Latin Christendom and the Byzantine East. This comprehensive survey is directed to both specialists and non-specialists and will be indispensable for any reader interested in early Christian chronology.

Mark has everything a man could want. As an up and coming Party member in the Golden Republic he has money, prestige, a beautiful woman, and his youth. Somehow, it doesn't seem like enough. Unbeknownst to Mark, his life is about to change in a way he could never expect."2020 proved to be the year in recent human history wherein futuristic tales of oppressive post-liberal dystopias turned out to be morally relevant again. Basic liberties such as attending our jobs or leaving our homes can, after all, be removed in the blink of an eye. In the realm of Catholic fiction, Clearfield's novel underscores these themes amid a fascinating, fast-paced plot which returns time and again to the timeless Catholic truths which render us human, even in an inhumane and uncertain future.: -Timothy Gordon, AuthorHost of "Rules for Retrogrades

Armed with ambition and rank, the ‘…cherub that covereth…’ sought to solidify preeminence for himself by way of a coup-de’-tat. His plans thwarted he and legions of angels – one third of 200,000,000 by some counts – were felled from heaven. Following subordination of a serpent, seduction of the first woman, and deception of the first man, earth and its inhabitants were plunged into a life far from the peaceful shores of Eden. Centuries of inhumanity and death later, a far more knowledgeable human race finds itself curiously positioned between a destruction of earth once by water, two world wars which have set the stage for a third, and a promised destruction of the world once by fire.

This play examines the death and resurrection of Jesus from the perspective of the frightened, disappointed, doubting and fearful Disciples who had deserted Jesus during the trial and execution, and also from the perspective of the Scribe and Pharisee, who are trying to come to grips with their decision to have Jesus killed. There is one particular Scripture that I especially wanted to highlight that I have never heard anyone talk about, and I have not seen it in any of the movies that were produced about this historical event. The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After Jesus' resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people. (Matthew 27:52-53). The play ends with a now resurrected Jesus reminding His disciples about the importance of partaking in the communion.
