Beard IN THE HISTORY OF THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY IN EUROPE, A CATACLYSMIC SERIES OF MAJOR WARS BETWEEN ALL SIGNIFICANT POWERS LASTED FOR SOME THIRTY YEARS OF DEATH AND DEVASTATION. THE MILITARY TOLL WAS ENHANCED BY PLAGUE, STARVATION, AND GOVERNED BY SELFISH INTERESTS.

THE 20TH CENTURY SAW POPULATIONS DESTROYED, AND THE 21ST MAY REFLECT THE SAME. "History is but the unrolled scroll of prophecy" - President James A. Garfield IT IS NOT HARD TO PROJECT SUCH A SAD HISTORY A HUNDRED YEARS IN THE FUTURE, AND THE SECOND TIRTY YEARS WAR, SET IN THE 22ND CENTURY, ONLY FORECASTS WHAT MAY WELL HAPPEN IF MANKIND REMAINS AS HE - AND SHE - HAVE FOR ALL HISTORY."

How the Word Is Passed

A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America

By: Clint Smith

This “important and timely” (Drew Faust, Harvard Magazine) #1 New York Times bestseller examines the legacy of slavery in America—and how both history and memory continue to shape our everyday lives. Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation's collective history, and ourselves. It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country's most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women, and children has been deeply imprinted. Informed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today, Smith's debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.

Paul and Imperial Divine Honors

Paul and Imperial Divine Honors

Christ, Caesar, and the Gospel

By: D. Clint Burnett

How did the imperial cult affect Christians in the Roman Empire? “Jesus is lord, not Caesar.” Many scholars and preachers attribute mistreatment of early Christians by Roman authorities to this fundamental confessional conflict. But this mantra relies on a reductive understanding of the imperial cult. D. Clint Burnett examines copious evidence—literary, epigraphic, numismatic, and archaeological—to more accurately reconstruct Christian engagement with imperial divine honors. Outdated narratives often treat imperial divine honors as uniform and centralized, focusing on the city of Rome. Instead, Burnett examines divine honors in Philippi, Thessalonica, and Corinth. While all three cities incorporated imperial cultic activity in their social, religious, economic, and political life, the purposes and contours of the practice varied based on the city’s unique history. For instance, Thessalonica paid divine honors to living Julio-Claudians as tribute for their status as a free city in the empire—and Christian resistance to the practice was seen as a threat to that independence. Ultimately, Burnett argues that early Christianity was not specifically antigovernment but more broadly countercultural, and that responses to this stance ranged from conflict to apathy. Burnett’s compelling argument challenges common assumptions about the first Christians’ place in the Roman Empire. This fresh account will benefit Christians seeking to understand their faith’s place in public life today.
