Southerners may have abandoned their dream of a political nation after Appomattox, but they preserved their cultural identity by blending Christian rhetoric and symbols with the rhetoric and imagery of Confederate tradition. Out of defeat emerged a civil religion that embodied the Lost Cause. As Charles Reagan Wilson writes in his new preface, "The Lost Cause version of the regional civil religion was a powerful expression, and recent scholarship affirms its continuing power in the minds of many white southerners."

The imagination has been called, 'the principal organ for knowing and responding to disclosures of transcendent truth'. This book probes the theological sources of the imagination, which make it a vital tool for knowing and responding to such disclosures. Kerry Dearborn approaches areas of theology and imagination through a focus on the nineteenth century theologian and writer George MacDonald. MacDonald can be seen as an icon whose life and work open a window to the intersection of word, flesh and image. He communicated the gospel through narrative and image-rich forms which honour truth and address the intellectual, imaginative, spiritual, and emotional needs of his readers. MacDonald was also able to speak prophetically in a number of areas of contemporary concern, such as the nature of suffering, aging and death, environmental degradation, moral imagination and gender issues. Dearborn explores influences which shaped him, along with the wisdom he has offeredin the formation of significant Christian writers in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Authors such as C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, J.R.R. Tolkien, W.H. Auden, Frederick Buechner and others attribute to MacDonald key paradigm shifts and insights in their own lives. A study of MacDonald does not offer a formulaic approach to theology and the imagination, but the possibility of gleaning from his rich harvest relevant nourishment for our own day. It also provides a context in which to assess potential weaknesses in imaginative approaches to theology.

For about three decades, from the mid-1930's until the mid-1960's, the economic ideas of one man ruled the Western world: John Maynard Keynes. Even today, his aging disciples have only recently begun to retire from university teaching in sufficient numbers, so as to allow a serious debate in economics to re-appear after half a century in the better universities. In the second-rate and third-rate colleges, Keynes' ideas are still dominant. Who was John Maynard Keynes? He was the son of British economist John Neville Keynes. He was a brilliant essayist with a wide-ranging mind. He made his reputation with a book on the theory of probability, not economics. He was also a man who never went through the boredom or the discipline of a graduate program in economics. He earned a bachelor's degree and quit. Smart man. He was hired to lecture in economics program. He wrote his way into prominence. He was also a homosexual pervert who led a secret society heavily represented by other homosexual perverts. His ideas laid the foundation of the "mixed economy" part free market, part government planning, and completely inflationary. As he grew older, his books became increasingly incoherent and steadily more popular, for each book increasingly promoted national economic planning. The politicians loved him: he was giving academic reasons for budget deficits, price controls, and monetary inflation. The younger economists loved him, for his ideas were creating lifetime employment opportunities for them as government economic planners. It was Keynes, more than any man in the twentieth century, who is intellectually responsible for today's looming bank crisis, the huge government deficits, and the eventual default of governments on their financial obligations. He gave the Western economy a large does of intellectual AIDS.

"For over a century Benjamin Hardin Irwin has been a shadowy figure in the history of late nineteenth century Holiness movements and early twentieth century Pentecostal movements in the United States. From writers such as J.H. King, we knew that in 1900 Irwin ignominiously left the movement he birthed, the Fire- Baptized Holiness Church. But beyond that, very little was known of the life of this enigmatic man. However, after years of research bolstered by the accessibility of numerous sources otherwise unknown and inaccessible, noted Pentecostal scholars Dr. Vinson Synan and Dr. Dan Woods have provided a rich study of Irwin and his writings."Dr. A.D. Beacham, Jr. General Superintendent and Presiding Bishop of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church

In the mid-1990s, residents of Anniston, Alabama, began a legal fight against the agrochemical company Monsanto over the dumping of PCBs in the city's historically African American and white working-class west side. Simultaneously, Anniston environmentalists sought to safely eliminate chemical weaponry that had been secretly stockpiled near the city during the Cold War. In this probing work, Ellen Griffith Spears offers a compelling narrative of Anniston's battles for environmental justice, exposing how systemic racial and class inequalities reinforced during the Jim Crow era played out in these intense contemporary social movements. Spears focuses attention on key figures who shaped Anniston--from Monsanto's founders, to white and African American activists, to the ordinary Anniston residents whose lives and health were deeply affected by the town's military-industrial history and the legacy of racism. Situating the personal struggles and triumphs of Anniston residents within a larger national story of regulatory regimes and legal strategies that have affected toxic towns across America, Spears unflinchingly explores the causes and implications of environmental inequalities, showing how civil rights movement activism undergirded Anniston's campaigns for redemption and justice.

On the Day of Pentecost, one hundred twenty of Jesus Christ’s disciples had a profound experience with the Holy Spirit of God. As believers, they were already indwelt by the Spirit. Now on this day, they received an additional blessing from the Holy Spirit, a blessing of empowerment for living a life in the love of Jesus and sharing that love with others.The disciples’ more powerful encounter with the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost is available to believers throughout the ages. This special experience is referred to as baptism in the Spirit, and the evidence of this baptism is the sign of speaking with other tongues, as the Spirit gives the utterance (Acts 2:1-4). This book, A Spirit-Baptized People, is for the purpose of enabling you to gain a better understanding of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The desire and prayer are that you will experience personally the Holy Spirit’s abundant blessings in your life—receiving the fullness of the Spirit, living a Christ-like life in the fruit of the Spirit, and abiding in the Spirit’s guidance, empowerment, and comfort all the days of your life.

Through a study of the writers of the post-New Testament period, this book shows how "Christianity" was forged as "the religion of empire," undermining the New Testament's proclamation of Jesus as upholder of the "religion of creation," two categories laid out in Howard-Brook's earlier volume, "Come Out, My People": God's Call Out of Empire in the Bible and Beyond (Orbis 2010). Using writers from Alexandria (Clement, Origen, and Athanasius) and North Africa (Tertullian, Cyprian and Augustine) as test cases, Howard-Brook traces how Platonic and Stoic philosophy on the one hand, and Roman imperial culture, on the other, were taken for granted by these writers in creating"Christianity." Using a wide range of recent scholarship, Howard-Brook seeks in this book to separate the anti-imperial, earthly and earthy "Good News" of Jesus from the imperial, anti-creation, misogynist and anti-Jewish "Christianity" that has largely replaced the Gospel.
