Some years ago, probably when buying the book about Saint Perpetua, a notable Carthaginian martyr noticed at reference 1, some people called Eden Ecommerce Ltd (GB) got hold of my email address and they have been sending me what seems like daily emails ever since. Presumably an offshoot of the Eden Ecommerce Corporation (US), in any event people who have a very up-to-date and aggressive marketing style.
Today's offering is included for the edification of readers. One can only suppose that the Eden people have lots of charismatic preachers with worldly tastes who need to be kept in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
From where I associate to the occasional scandals which get into the papers - not the FT or Guardian that is, which make a virtue of not doing God, royals or the extra-marital affairs of footballers - involving middle aged preachers in very large churches in the Bible Belt getting caught with their hands in the till, or perhaps up the skirts of a lady parishioner.
Also to the Reformation, at which time the zealous reformers got stuck into the Holy Mother Church for more or less commercial activities not so very different from these present.
