Eric D. Hovee to Sign Conflict & Peace: At Home with Jesus at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2026
Sep 17, 2026
Author Eric D. Hovee will meet readers during two book-signing sessions at the 2026 Frankfurter Buchmesse, where he will present his latest work exploring the history of Christianity through the people who shaped it.
Canada, September 17, 2026 -- Eric D. Hovee is headed to one of the publishing world's largest international events this fall. The author of Conflict & Peace: At Home with Jesus will appear at the 2026 Frankfurter Buchmesse, joining readers, publishers and literary professionals from around the world during the five-day fair in Frankfurt.
Hovee is scheduled to sign copies of his book on Oct. 9 and 10 at The Maple Staple Booth (Hall 5.1, Stand D86), giving visitors an opportunity to discuss the ideas behind a work that traces Christianity through some of its most influential and, at times, controversial figures.
Rather than retelling familiar biblical narratives, Conflict & Peace: At Home with Jesus follows the development of Christianity across two millennia, asking how a faith rooted in the teachings of Jesus repeatedly found itself shaped by disagreement, reform, politics and changing interpretations. From the four Gospel writers to Paul, Peter, James, Thomas and Mary Magdalene, Hovee examines the people whose convictions helped define the religion's earliest foundations before turning to figures such as Constantine and Martin Luther, whose decisions altered the course of Christian history. The narrative eventually returns to Jesus, framing Him as the central figure whose teachings continue to invite reflection rather than simple conclusions.
That willingness to explore difficult questions has become one of the book's defining characteristics. Instead of presenting Christianity as a straightforward historical account, Hovee focuses on the tension between conflict and reconciliation, certainty and doubt, encouraging readers to consider how faith evolves through human experience.
Literary Titan highlighted that approach in its review, writing, "What emerges is less a polished theology and more a raw chronicle of pioneers wrestling with belief, doubt, politics, and power. The book argues that Christianity has always lived at the crossroads of conflict and peace, heresy and orthodoxy, struggle and hope."
The publication also described the reading experience in personal terms, noting, "The book left me inspired. It made me look at my own beliefs with sharper eyes and a softer heart." The book is presented by Bookside Press, an independent publishing and marketing company dedicated to helping authors bring their work to broader audiences.
According to the review, Hovee's work is especially suited to readers interested in thoughtful exploration rather than simple answers: "I think Hovee's work is best for readers who want faith that is not easy, neat, or dogmatic. It's for Christians wrestling with the weight of history, skeptics curious about the roots of belief, and anyone who values honesty over certainty."
The Frankfurter Buchmesse appearance marks another opportunity for Hovee to connect directly with readers interested in Christianity, spirituality and Bible study. Attendees visiting The Maple Staple Booth during the scheduled signing dates will be able to meet the author and learn more about the research and ideas behind Conflict & Peace: At Home with Jesus.

FTC's costly crackdown on conglomerates generates little return
The Fair Trade Commission’s (FTC) increasingly aggressive crackdown on major conglomerates is generating a costly cycle with little tangible return, as the watchdog has been forced to refund billions of won in fines overturned by courts. The watchdog has returned nearly 290 billion won ($216.7 million) to companies since 2022 after administrative court rulings overturned its sanctions. The figures raise questions about whether the regulator’s tougher enforcement produces lasting results or simply creates more legal and financial burdens for both businesses and taxpayers. The latest figures offer little reassurance. For the first nine months combined this year, the FTC returned 23 billion won in fines and associated payments, with 99.7 percent of the amount attributable to sanctions overturned in whole or in part through administrative litigation, according to data submitted to Rep. Choi Eun-seok of the main opposition People Power Party. But the regulator is moving in the opposite direction. Since President Lee Jae Myung took office last year, the government has pushed to strengthen
The AI promise was automation. The reality? Managing digital workers
When artificial intelligence agents first arrived, they came with a tantalising promise: autonomous “digital workers” that would finally free humans from corporate drudgery. As businesses across Asia are discovering, however, the reality is quite the opposite – more work, new friction and a whole new layer of management. When Xiao Mengjie, an AI product marketing manager at a Big Tech firm in Shanghai, recently assigned two AI agents what she described as a simple task, she expected efficiency....

Securing equipment emerges as new variable for Korea's chip expansion plans
Securing equipment for manufacturing advanced memory chips is emerging as a new variable in Korea's plans to expand semiconductor production capacity through large-scale industrial clusters, after ASML, the dominant supplier of advanced chipmaking equipment, warned that its current production plans may not be sufficient to meet demand in 2027 and 2028. During its earnings call Wednesday, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said the company's plans to increase its production capacity for advanced chipmaking equipment by 30 percent in 2027 and another 30 percent in 2028 would likely not be enough to meet customer demand. “Last quarter, we talked about 30 percent more capacity next year, and also the aspiration to have another 30 percent increase in 2028,” Fouquet said. “But to be honest, it's becoming very clear that 30 percent in 2027, 30 percent in 2028 will not allow us to meet our customer demand.” According to the company, the planned capacity increases cover both low-numerical-aperture extreme ultraviolet (low-NA EUV) lithography equipment and deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion system
