Living in God's Kingdom

a practical study guide on the Christian faith

By: Arlene Friesen,Jayelle Friesen,Debbie Funk,Darryl Klassen

Living in God’s Kingdom: a practical study guide is an attempt to devote ourselves “to the apostles’ teaching” (Acts 2:42) so “we reach unity in the faith” (Ephesians 4:12–13). It is to learn from Paul, as Menno Simons did, that “no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11). This is a Tri-Conference work involving the Christian Mennonite Conference, Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference, and Evangelical Mennonite Conference. Each chapter draws together the classical themes of Christian theology and Anabaptist emphases. The book includes the Apostles’ Creed and introduces the history and work of each conference. The material is suitable for classes of various ages and settings. The book can serve as a group study guide for six or more weeks, depending on how leaders select from and move through the lessons. A leader’s guide for the chapters has been developed, providing many questions and resources. Because of Jesus Christ, sent for our salvation, this book is presented to our churches to help potential, fresh, and older believers to follow Christ in life within his Church and Kingdom.

In Remembrance of Emmett Till

Regional Stories and Media Responses to the Black Freedom Struggle

By: Darryl Mace

This provocative study explores how media coverage of Emmett Till’s murder influences regional reactions and reignited the Civil Rights movement. On August 28, 1955, fourteen-year-old Chicago native Emmett Till was brutally beaten to death for allegedly flirting with a white woman at a grocery store in Money, Mississippi. Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam were acquitted of Till’s murder—then admitted to the crime in an interview with the national media. They were never convicted. Although Till's body was mutilated, his mother ordered that his casket remain open so that the country could observe the results of racially motivated violence in the Deep South. Media attention fanned the flames of regional tension and impelled many individuals—including Rosa Parks—to become vocal activists for racial equality. In this innovative study, Darryl Mace explores media coverage of Till's murder and analyses its influence on the regional and racial perspectives. He investigates the portrayal of the trial in popular and black newspapers across the South, documents posttrial reactions, and examines Till's memorialization in the press to highlight the media's role in shaping opinions.

Free Market Criminal Justice

Free Market Criminal Justice

How Democracy and Laissez Faire Undermine the Rule of Law

By: Darryl K. Brown

Free Market Criminal Justice explains how faith in democratic politics and free markets has undermined the rule of law in US criminal process. America's unique political development, characterized by skepticism of government power, has restrained the state's role not only in the economic realm but also in key parts of its criminal justice systems. From charging decisions through trials or guilty pleas and appeals, legal safeguards against bias, wrongful convictions, and excessive punishment rely more on politics and laissez-faire economic ideas than on enforceable rules and duties. Prosecutorial discretion is checked not by legal standards but by popular elections, and plea bargaining law is wholly built on a faith in unregulated markets-in contrast to the systems in other common law countries that also have neoliberal economies, adversarial process, and high guilty plea rates. This book argues that democratic and market ideas have led to more partisan prosecutors, narrower duties of evidence disclosure, and to a right to defense counsel that carefully accommodates preexisting wealth inequalities. Most important, democratic and market values have diminished the responsibility of judges-and of the state itself-for the accuracy and integrity of court judgments. Paradoxically, skepticism of government has expanded state power, reduced checks on executive officials, marginalized juries, and contributed to record incarceration rates. In contrast to recent arguments for re-invigorating democracy in criminal process, Free Market Criminal Justice argues that, to strengthen the rule of law, US criminal justice needs less democracy, fewer market mechanisms, and more law.

Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIV's France

Franche-Comté and Absolute Monarchy, 1674-1715

By: Darryl Dee

Driven by a desire for glory and renown, Louis XIV presided over France's last great burst of territorial expansion in Europe. During the first three decades of his rule, his armies conquered numerous territories along France's borders. After 1688, however, the tide of conquest turned as the kingdom was plunged into crisis. For the remainder of his reign, the king and his people endured wars against grand alliances of European powers, ecological disasters, economic depression, state bankruptcy, and demographic stagnation. Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIV's France examines these central yet understudied aspects of the age of the Sun King through the experience of Franche-Comté, a possession of the Spanish empire with a long history of autonomy, conquered by Louis XIV in 1674. Dee's detailed research reconstructs the ensuing dialogue -- sometimes harmonious, sometimes discordant -- between the king and the elites who ruled this province. The integration of Franche-Comté into France proved to be a protracted process involving confrontation, negotiation, and compromise. The resulting regime was then severely tested by the challenges of Louis XIV's late reign; its survival demonstrated how the king had brought a distinctly early modern state to the height of its development. This study offers significant new insights on the growth of the territorial state in early modern Europe, the nature of the French absolute monarchy, and the political legacy of the Sun King. Darryl Dee is Assistant Professor of History, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada.
