"Face the River's Fury! In the small hamlet of Riverbend, the miller's wife is missing, and the locals suspect that the husband himself was involved. But all is far from what it seems. Ellessandra, the missing woman, is actually an elf from the Summer Lands. She came to live in the human settlement when the miller made a dangerous pact with the River King, the lands' powerful sidhe ruler. Now, the player characters must unravel the truth behind Ellessandra's disappearance, piece together the involvement of a young brownie-turned-fey-lord, and dive into the fey courts of the Summer Lands to stop a raid that would surely spell Riverbend's doom. All the while, Arthurian intrigue and mischief runs high among the fey lords and ladies in this mercurial, open-format adventure from acclaimed adventure designer Wolfgang Baur! This 5th Edition adventure for 4th- through 7th-level characters is full of hijinks and trickery, and fits nicely into any campaign setting in which fey are regal. Their courtly plots are dangerous and will test bold adventurers' skills to the limit!"--Back cover

Malý Stuttgartský komentář k Novému zákonu (celkem v 18 svazcích) je základním dílem, napomáhajícím dobré orientaci v biblickém textu. Každý svazek přináší hutnou informaci k autorství daného spisu, k místu a době sepsání, objasňuje literární zvláštnosti a teologické poslání příslušné novozákonní knihy. Znamená seriózní oporu i pro odborníky, ale mimořádně vhodný je pro ty, kdo se s Biblí teprve blíže seznamují, pro středoškolské a vysokoškolské studenty, pro učitele náboženství, biblické kroužky. Výklad je uzpůsoben českému čtenáři: zohledňuje české překlady Písma, připojuje potřebné vysvětlivky a poznámky a cituje sekundární literaturu napsanou v češtině. Text odborně garantovalo České katolické biblické dílo.
