John Horany is 50% done with The Syrian Christ: A Lebanese Christian reveals how Near Eastern customs are reflected in the Bible and in Jesus' everyday life
Fascinating look at how everyday middle eastern traditions followed in Jesus’ time are, in some instances, being followed today and in the not-so-distant past.

John Horany is starting Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History
This is an important read but very dense and aimed towards the academy I suppose but a fascinating look at how history is produced and how the narratives we tell each other have several spaces which omit the part of history incongruent to the dominant narrative. Very timely today!

John Horany is on page 17 of 504 of The Oxford Illustrated History of World War II
In talking about the forces that led to WWII in the aftermath of WWI, including the idea that the preservation of peace and security was the province of the nation-state Patricia Clavin said, "The French Prime Minister Georges Clemeneau,,,believed, above all, in well-secured borders." Sound familiar?
