			A Passover Haggadah for Christians BRUCE FINGERHUT In A Passover Haggadah for Christians, Bruce Fingerhut, president of St. Augustine’s Press, presents a haggadah for a Passover seder similar to the one that Jesus Himself celebrated. And it presents a commentary that shows the important divergences that Jesus presented in the Last Supper (e.g., washing the feet of the Disciples, leaving the room for Gethsemene after the third cup of wine, speaking of his betrayal in terms of the one who dips his bread with Him, and, of course, presenting Himself as the bread and wine of the celebration).

GERDIL A timely translation of a compelling 18th-century critique of Rousseau by the neglected Italian author, Hyacinth S. Gerdil (1718–1802). Gerdil’s Anti-Emile may have been written as a critique of Rousseau’s Emile, but it can equally be read as a critique of the philosophy embraced by the American educational establishment.
