Through the Eyes of Guilt

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

How guilt motivates us to do the things we do, to make the choices we make, and to think what it is we think and believe we are here "doing" has always fascinated me. Guilt reveals itself as we experience life circumstances that confront our moral ethic and our behavior toward others. More often than we realize, we place guilt on others to satisfy our own self. What do we do when faced with feelings of guilt? What holds us to use guilt against ourselves or against the world that we live in? What does it take to live beyond the judgments we make when we look at life through the eyes of guilt? Maybe that is the brilliance in the plan of our journey here. Maybe guilt is designed to motivate us to live beyond the grip of judging ourselves and the judgments we place on others. Is life meant to be lived guilt free? Or can guilt teach us more about ourselves than we realize?

Agent Orange

The Failure of Science, Policy and Common Sense

By: Alvin L. Young

This book tells the story of Agent Orange, its usage and the policies that surround it. Agent Orange contains a contaminant known as TCDD. It was the most widely used defoliant from 1965 – 1970 and became one of three major tactical herbicides used in Vietnam. More than 45 major health studies were conducted with Vietnam veterans from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Korea seeking a relationship between veterans’ health and TCDD. Allegations of birth defects in the families of Vietnam veterans and the Vietnamese represented a case study in propaganda and deliberate misinformation by the government of Vietnam. The Policies of the US Government implemented by Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) identified 17 recognized associated presumptive diseases that failed the tests of “cause and effect” and common sense. This book tells the story of Agent Orange, its usage, the health studies and those policies from a diverse range of perspectives, delving into science, statistics, history, policy and ethics. It is of interest to scholars engaged in history, political and social philosophy and ethics.

The Courts and the Colonies

The Courts and the Colonies

The Litigation of Hutterite Church Disputes

By: Alvin J. Esau

The Courts and the Colonies offers a detailed account of a protracted dispute arising within a Hutterite colony in Manitoba, when the Schmiedeleut leaders attempted to force the departure of a group that had been excommunicated but would not leave. This resulted in about a dozen lawsuits in both Canada and the United States between various Hutterite factions and colonies, and placed the issues of shunning, excommunication, legitimacy of leadership, and communal property rights before the secular courts. What is the story behind this extraordinary development in Hutterite history? How did the courts respond, and how did that outside (state) law relate to the traditional inside law of the Hutterites? Utilizing voluminous court records, Esau provides a detailed and fascinating narrative of the prolonged disputes and litigation history of Hutterite colonies at Lakeside, Oak Bluff, Rock Lake, and Huron. He considers whether the legal action was consistent with the historic non-resistance of Hutterites or whether it signaled a fundamental change in norms of Anabaptist perspectives on litigation. He examines the past history of Hutterite litigation, and how the roots of the schism related to controversy over the Schmiedeleut leadership and its alliance with the Bruderhof, a group of Christian communalists, living mainly in the Eastern United States. At stake is the nature of freedom of religion in Canada and the extent to which our pluralistic society is prepared to accommodate the existence of groups that have an illiberal legal system that may not cohere with the outside legal system of the host society. While this book will be of particular interest to scholars of law and religion, it will also appeal to anyone in Anabaptist studies, sociology, anthropology, political theory, and conflict resolution.
