For its second issue FINE ART PHOTO again presents a varied and attractive mix of widely differing styles from the world of nude and erotic photography. As in the first issue, the aim has been to show the broadest possible international selection. The photographers represented here come from Bulgaria, the Ukraine, Russia, Poland, the USA, France and Germany. I am especially pleased that no less than three female photographers are included this time-four, even, counting the photographer-and-model team of Anna & Barney. To show how wide the spectrum of erotic photography is, this issue ranges from classic nudes in black and white to highly individual techniques, unusual compositions, imaginative fetish photos, painterly effects and astonishing digital montages.

Exploring the intersection of faith and rising fascist violence in the U.S., this book examines firsthand accounts from the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. It highlights the resistance efforts of clergy against white supremacy and offers insights on how churches can learn from movements like Black Lives Matter and antifascists. By utilizing biblical exegesis, storytelling, and interviews, it encourages a reimagining of civil disobedience and love, advocating for a proactive, faith-based response to hate and violence.
