THE LIFE OF ADONIRAM JUDSON - Light to Burma

By: Edward Judson

This book is an important document of the establishment of the Kingdom of God. Adoniram Judson was an American Baptist missionary who served in Burma for almost forty years. At the age of 25 Adoniram Judson became the first Protestant missionary sent from North America. Judson is remembered as the first significant missionary in Burma, as well as one of the very first American missionaries. Compiled by his son Edward Judson from family letters, journals and other first-hand sources, this book is probably the most complete document of Adoniram Judson's life and mission. Inspiring as the thrilling story of one of the giants of early missions, this work is also a high quality academic resource. This book is an essential part of the library of any Missionary, Asian Historian, Missiologist, Christian or Pastor. It is the documented story of one of the first great missionaries of our time.

Imagining Wild Bill

James Butler Hickok in War, Media, and Memory

By: Paul Ashdown,Edward Caudill

Wild Bill’s ever-evolving legend When it came to the Wild West, the nineteenth-century press rarely let truth get in the way of a good story. James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok’s story was no exception. Mythologized and sensationalized, Hickok was turned into the deadliest gunfighter of all, a so-called moral killer, a national phenomenon even while he was alive. Rather than attempt to tease truth from fiction, coauthors Paul Ashdown and Edward Caudill investigate the ways in which Hickok embodied the culture of glamorized violence Americans embraced after the Civil War and examine the process of how his story emerged, evolved, and turned into a viral multimedia sensation full of the excitement, danger, and romance of the West. Journalists, the coauthors demonstrate, invented “Wild Bill” Hickok, glorifying him as a civilizer. They inflated his body count and constructed his legend in the midst of an emerging celebrity culture that grew up around penny newspapers. His death by treachery, at a relatively young age, made the story tragic, and dime-store novelists took over where the press left off. Reimagined as entertainment, Hickok’s legend continued to enthrall Americans in literature, on radio, on television, and in the movies, and it still draws tourists to notorious Deadwood, South Dakota. American culture often embraces myths that later become accepted as popular history. By investigating the allure and power of Hickok’s myth, Ashdown and Caudill explain how American journalism and popular culture have shaped the way Civil War–era figures are remembered and reveal how Americans have embraced violence as entertainment.

Essays in Metaphysics

By: Edward Halper

This book uses the study of philosophical texts to raise and explore metaphysical issues. On one level, each essay addresses a scholarly issue in a classical text, often a text of Aristotle's. On a deeper level, the issues Halper considers are metaphysical. However, unlike thinkers who have brought linguistic analysis and contemporary metaphysical notions to these texts, Halper approaches them to find their formulations of issues and their strategies of pursuit. Halper is not concerned with the defense of metaphysical commitments but with finding and exploring paths of metaphysical inquiry. The essays in this volume are exploratory and exegetical rather than decisive. Their contribution to metaphysics lies in the issues they raise, the methods they explore, and their conception of metaphysics as a discipline rooted in philosophical problems.
