[Type here] The Journey From Hell In 1877, two old friends, former members of Quantrell’s Raiders, meet again at a bank in Hell, a town in far west Texas. One is there to rob the bank, the other—the town’s sheriff—foils the robbery. In the pursuit that follows, the robber saves the sheriff after his horse falls, and the two of them become friends again. They decide to head west and find a place where they can live in peace. On their way, they pick up others who need to find a sanctuary—a six-foot-six widowed preacher and his twelve-year-old daughter from Indiana, a twenty-one-year-old black musician/physician’s assistant from Boston who has come west to seek his fortune, a twenty-year-old Mexican girl who grew up as a cowhand on a ranch in Colorado, a six-month-old baby named Peter, and a Jersey cow named Pansy! On their journey they experience adventures (and misadventures) with Indians and outlaws and others. Finally, they arrive at the town where they will settle—New Canaan, in New Mexico territory. Problems remain, but a final gunfight with the Hank Dandy gang gives them rest—and romance—at the end of their journey from Hell. 2

The Devil's Art

Divination and Discipline in Early Modern Germany

By: Jason P. Coy

In early modern Germany, soothsayers known as wise women and men roamed the countryside. Fixtures of village life, they identified thieves and witches, read palms, and cast horoscopes. German villagers regularly consulted these fortune-tellers and practiced divination in their everyday lives. Jason Phillip Coy brings their enchanted world to life by examining theological discourse alongside archival records of prosecution for popular divination in Thuringia, a diverse region in central Germany divided into a patchwork of princely territories, imperial cities, small towns, and rural villages. Popular divination faced centuries of elite condemnation, as the Lutheran clergy attempted to suppress these practices in the wake of the Reformation and learned elites sought to eradicate them during the Enlightenment. As Coy finds, both of these reform efforts failed, and divination remained a prominent feature of rural life in Thuringia until well into the nineteenth century. The century after 1550 saw intense confessional conflict accompanied by widespread censure and disciplinary measures, with prominent Lutheran theologians and demonologists preaching that divination was a demonic threat to the Christian community and that soothsayers deserved the death penalty. Rulers, however, refused to treat divination as a capital crime, and the populace continued to embrace it alongside official Christianity in troubled times. The Devil’s Art highlights the limits of Reformation-era disciplinary efforts and demonstrates the extent to which reformers’ efforts to inculcate new cultural norms relied upon the support of secular authorities and the acquiescence of parishioners. Negotiation, accommodation, and local resistance blunted official reform efforts and ensured that occult activities persisted and even flourished in Germany into the modern era, surviving Reformation-era preaching and Enlightenment-era ridicule alike.

That All May Go Well

Why Christians Prosper, Why They Don't, and Why It Doesn't Matter

By: Coy D Roper

According to COY D. ROPER, Christians who do their best to obey the Bible are, under ordinary circumstances, more likely to prosper than they would if they were not faithful Christians. That All May Go Well is a thoughtful examination of the complexities that underlie the question--"Why do Christians prosper?" Roper presents a balanced theology of prosperity by tackling poverty and financial insecutiy, as well as the dangers of materialism. Ultimately, That All May Go Well leads the reader to adopt a spirit of graefulness, because in the end "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning" (James 1:17). That All May Go Well is an insightful book that will be welcomed by anyone who desires to explore questions surronding rhe theology of why Christians prosper, why they don't, and why, as Roper argues, it ultimately doesn't matter.
