The Pentateuch

History Or Story?

By: Howard H. Cox

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This book assumes questions that perceptive readers of all persuasions might ask about the Bible. These questions pertain both to the nature of the text and the text itself. With regard to the former, its historical development is described in reverse order, back through 16th century England to the definitive Hebrew text from which all modern translations are made, the Leningrad Codex, dated 1008 CE. The development continues through prior centuries, importantly, to the Dead Sea Scrolls, which raise new questions about which text to translate. The Pentateuch throughout is discussed with the question in mind: Is it history or story? The great wealth of information, both material and literary, which archaeology has provided over the last one and half centuries as well as the intensive literary analysis of biblical scholars is brought to bear on the text. The attempt is made to provide information not commonly known to the general reader in searching for an answer to the question. The identification of literary traditions with their theological perspectives serves to show the diversity of the material amidst its overall unity. The traditions, which make up the Old Testament, did not end with our canon, whether Jewish, Catholic or Protestant. A group of these later books, known as Apocrypha, are included in some Bibles but not in others. A large number of other books, known as Pseudepigrapha, represent the continuation of the traditions. Those related to Genesis, as well as the ambivalent status of the Apocrypha, are discussed here.

Lincoln and the Sioux Uprising of 1862

By: Hank H. Cox

On the bright Sunday morning of August 17, 1862, four Sioux warriors emerged from the Big Woods northwest of St. Paul, Minnesota, on their way home from an unsuccessful hunt. When they came upon the homestead of Robinson Jones, a white man who ran a post office and general store and offered lodging for travelers, the Indians opened fire on the settlers, killing almost all of them. Soon bands of Sioux were rampaging across southwestern Minnesota, attacking farms and trading posts and murdering everywhere they wentósplitting the skulls of men; clubbing children to death; raping daughters and wives before disemboweling them; cutting off hands, breasts, and genitals; and looting whatever could be taken before setting fire to what remained. Perhaps as many as two thousand settlers were brutally massacred, although the number has never been firmly established. Once the uprising was suppressed, 303 Sioux warriors were sentenced to death. The people of Minnesota called for their immediate execution, a sentiment that matched the national mood. Abraham Lincoln suspected that most of those convicted were marginal players in the rebellion and that the worst culprits had escaped, and he carefully reviewed each case before selecting the 39ólater reduced to 38ómen to hang whom he believed to be guilty of the worst crimes. The remainder were committed to life in prison. "I could not hang men for votes," he later explained. On December 26 the 38 were simultaneously hanged on a gallows construction especially for them. The Sioux Uprising of 1862, also known as the Dakota War, sounded the first shots of a war that continued for another 28 years, culminating in the massacre of Indian women and children at Wounded Knee in 1890. Lincoln's death at the hands of John Wilkes Booth ended his intention to reform the government's Indian policy, and both political parties continued to use the system to reward their supporters, a practice that largely continues to this day.

Reviewing Delegation

An Analysis of the Congressional Reauthorization Process

By: James H. Cox

Members of Congress often delegate power to bureaucratic experts, but they fear losing permanent control of the policy. One way Congress has dealt with this problem is to require reauthorization of the program or policy. Cox argues that Congress uses this power selectively, and is more likely to require reauthorization when policy is complex or they do not trust the executive branch. By contrast, reauthorization is less likely to be required when there are large disagreements about policy within Congress. In the process, Cox shows that committees are important independent actors in the legislative process, and that committees with homogenous policy preferences may have an advantage in getting their bills through Congress.

Simply Bev...

Determination Is Everything

By: James H. Cox

This biography of Beverly Kimes, was written by her beloved husband, Jim Cox. This is not a book about the illustrious career of Beverly Kimes, first woman editor of Automobile Quarterly, renowned author, or the foremost classic car historian of her time. But, a story about Beverly Kimes; daughter, sister, friend, mentor, wife, and inspiration to women and men who had the distinct honor of having her be part of their lives. Determination is everything. This was her mantra, the creed that she lived by from the time she was a small girl growing up West Chicago, until the day she died in 2008. Beverly Kimes was a woman on a mission: to do whatever it was she was destined to do (and she did plenty!) by taking on a leadership role, and helping those who travelled with her. This biography chronicles Beverly's early years, taken from copious notes, letters and pictures found in numerous personal scrapbooks saved over the years. It follows her adult life in New York, through her rise up the ranks to editor of Automobile Weekly, her notoriety as an automobile historian, and life with her husband, family and friends. How does someone so determined for greatness, make it happen in a career she initially knew nothing about? When she went to her interview with Scott Baily at Automobile Quarterly, she told him, "The only thing I know about automobiles, is that I have a driver's license." This inspiring story is about a woman, in a man's world, overcoming odds, getting involved, and touching the hearts of all types of people worldwide along the way. The road to greatness was not easy for Beverly, in fact it took its rocky turns. Life was filled with obstacles due to illness, circumstances, or just plain fate. But she travelled on, nonetheless, with dignity and style. And for all who had come to know and love her, it was a hell of a ride!

The General Who Wore Six Stars

The General Who Wore Six Stars

The Inside Story of John C. H. Lee

By: Hank H. Cox

Lt. Gen. John C. H. Lee wore six stars on his helmet, three in front and three in back--an unusual affectation. He was a stickler for discipline and a legendary military figure whom servicemen and historians loved to hate. Yet Lee was an intensely religious person and an advocate of opportunity for African Americans in the era of Jim Crow, setting him apart from the conservative officer corps at this time. Lee was also responsible for supplying the Allied armies in Europe during World War II from D-Day through Germany's surrender. In this long-overdue biography of the brilliant and eccentric commander, Hank H. Cox paints a vivid picture of this enormous logistical task and the man who made it all happen. The General Who Wore Six Stars delves into the perplexing details of how Lee let his idiosyncrasies get the better of him. This "pompous little son-of-a-bitch," as some historians have called him, who was "only interested in self-advertisement," famously moved his headquarters to Paris, where during the height of the American Army supply crisis, twenty-nine thousand of his Service of Supply troops shacked up in the finest hotels and, due to sheer numbers, created an enormous black market. Yet, Cox argues, Lee's strategical genius throughout the war has been underappreciated not only by his contemporaries but also by World War II historians. The General Who Wore Six Stars provides a timely reassessment of this intriguing individual.

Secularism, the Church, and the Way Forward

Discovering Church Renewal from Father Abraham: A Dialogue

By: Richard H. Cox,Blake Barbera

Secularism, the Church, and the Way Forward is a succinct yet descriptive dialogue between a nonagenarian church leader and a young pastor who are struggling with the reality of the rapidly morphing Western Protestant church. At times debatable, at others provocative, and with insights that induce conviction, the authors challenge, confuse, and enlighten the reader. Combining proven, multidisciplinary models with innovative approaches, the authors inspire a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the church's relationship to society. In so doing, they point the church's leaders toward the perilous yet necessary path of rediscovering its identity.

Slay the Four Plagues

A Realistic Revolutionary Plan to Fix Democracy

By: John H. Cox

As a business leader with a track record of success, Cox stood against the political establishment to run for Governor of California. What he learned is that the system—consisting of both parties, as well as the media/big business axis that props up cronies of the political establishment—is fully rigged to prevent independent-minded candidates from gaining traction. Hear the People is the organization he’s launched to promote real electoral reform, that will empower regular people to have unprecedented influence on, and access to, the electoral process—all while working within the existing framework of the U.S. Constitution. There is general agreement among voters that our electoral system suffers from the Four Plagues: special interest influence; big media control; negative campaigning; and extreme partisan voices. The huge media driven campaigns required by today’s increasingly large population districts are the primary reason for the Four Plagues. Cox proposes a bold, far reaching, effective reform that would make all campaigns for the U.S. House of Representatives personal, not driven by media or money. This reform can be legally implemented and will empower the people, making the House of Representatives truly the People’s House as our Founders intended. As we celebrate the 250th birthday of America, a rebirth of our democracy is just what we need. This book is Cox’s manifesto for reform. Equal parts passion and remarkably practical, Hear the People will usher in a new phase of America’s political life, giving voice to the millions of citizens crying out for meaningful change.

History of West Virginia Free Will Baptists

By: James H. Cox

The history of the West Virginia Free Will Baptists began 145 years ago in the Eastern part of the state near Harpers Ferry, when a Free Will Baptist Church was begun in 1868. By 1873 there was also a Taylor Quarterly Meeting in the northern part of the state which was affiliated with the Ohio River Yearly Meeting. Likewise in July, 1883 the Kanawha County organized a quarterly meeting with the influence of some of the brethren in southern Ohio. The Kanawha church was organized in 1879. Since those days their were many quarterly meetings that were started and the West Virginia Yearly Meeting was formed in 1886 with 25 churches and 885 members. Then the merger with the Northern Baptist came in 1911-12, but these did not seem to affect the churches in the southern part of West Virginia. Later these Free Will Baptists merged with the Tri-State Association of Free Will Baptist which consisted of Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky which was formed in 1919.The present West Virginia State Association was formed in 1945-46. Today there are 21 conferences and 172 churches in the State Association and many independent Free Will Baptist churches within the state.

The Newsom Nightmare

The California Catastrophe and How to Reform Our Broken System

By: John H. Cox

In a time when American politics is at its lowest ebb, and when political leadership is notably absent across the ideological spectrum, one politician stands apart as a particularly unfortunate exemplar of everything that is wrong with our national leadership. Gavin Newsom. In this detailed and infuriating exposé of how big money has corrupted the political process at every level of society, businessman and philanthropist John Cox uses Newsom’s career to analyze how and why the system operates as it does. Politicians are bought and paid for by moneyed interests; media coverage is determined, first and foremost, by financial concerns; and the average citizen is fully disenfranchised from determining electoral or policy outcomes. And nowhere is this more evident—with tragic results—than in Gavin Newsom’s collapsing California. The cost of living is out of control; a homelessness epidemic is on the rise; there’s a shortage of housing, water, and energy; crime rates are at an all-time high; wildfires cause devastation at alarming rates each year; and high taxes make it nearly impossible to start a small business. We’re beginning to see these trends spread throughout the United States. As the old saying goes, “as goes California, so goes the nation.” Our system must be reformed. This book doesn’t just lay out the problems; it posits a workable and easy to implement solution that will work to get this country—and California—back on track. In The Newsom Nightmare, Cox deftly and succinctly provides an alternative that would, if implemented, put the American body politic back on solid ground.

Muting White Noise

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Muting White Noise

Native American and European American Novel Traditions

By: James H. Cox

Native American fiction writers have confronted Euro-American narratives about Indians and the colonial world those narratives help create. These Native authors offer stories in which Indians remake this colonial world by resisting conquest and assimilation, sustaining their cultures and communities, and surviving. In Muting White Noise, James H. Cox considers how Native authors have liberated our imaginations from colonial narratives. Cox takes his title from Sherman Alexie, for whom the white noise of a television set represents the white mass-produced culture that mutes American Indian voices. Cox foregrounds the work of Native intellectuals in his readings of the American Indian novel tradition. He thereby develops a critical perspective from which to re-see the role played by the Euro-American novel tradition in justifying and enabling colonialism. By examining novels by Native authors—especially Thomas King, Gerald Vizenor, and Alexie—Cox shows how these writers challenge and revise colonizers’ tales about Indians. He then offers “red readings” of some revered Euro-American novels, including Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, and shows that until quite recently, even those non-Native storytellers who sympathized with Indians could imagine only their vanishing by story’s end. Muting White Noise breaks new ground in literary criticism. It stands with Native authors in their struggle to reclaim their own narrative space and tell stories that empower and nurture, rather than undermine and erase, American Indians and their communities.

American Drive

How Manufacturing Will Save Our Country

By: Richard Dauch,Hank H. Cox

Politicians, voters, executives, and employees all want the answer to one question: How can America compete with cheap foreign labor, and restore skilled, well-paying jobs to our economy? American Drive answers that question. An executive with nearly thirty years in the trenches of the hard-nosed Detroit automobile industry, Richard E. "Dick" Dauch had long dreamed of running his own manufacturing company. From his first job on the plant floor at General Motors to his crucial role in helping to rescue Chrysler from the brink of bankruptcy, Dauch focused passionately, and relentlessly, on quality, productivity, and flexibility in manufacturing. In 1993 he took on the challenge of his life, buying a lagging axle supply and parts business from GM, along with five rusting, unprofitable, union-controlled, near-decrepit plants in the heart of a crime-ridden Detroit and a deteriorating environment in Buffalo, New York. The newly created "stand-alone" company was named American Axle and Manufacturing. Dauch set out to create a world-class industrial automotive manufacturer. He bought and bulldozed the crack, liquor, and prostitution businesses that surrounded the company and rebuilt the plants. He upward educated, trained, and expanded the skill sets of the workforce, struck tough bargains with unions, and solved massive quality problems that were costing tens of millions every year and undermining customer satisfaction. Within one year of opening the doors, AAM had turned an astounding $66 million in profit. In American Drive, Dauch narrates the story of AAM against the backdrop of his nearly fifty years in the auto industry, from its glory days to its decline in the face of foreign competition, government bailouts, battles with unions, and the recent Great Recession. Tough, smart, inspiring, high-energy, and opinionated, Dauch offers memorable lessons on leadership, advanced product technology, communication, negotiation, and making profits in the most difficult times. Dauch's story transcends the auto industry and draws a blueprint for job creation, manufacturing competitiveness, economic growth, and excellence in America.

The Development of the Dutch Welfare State

The Development of the Dutch Welfare State

From Workers' Insurance to Universal Entitlement

By: Robert Cox

The development of the Dutch welfare state in the Netherlands started later than in other Western European countries, but once it started, it grew at a spectacular rate. The development was so rapid that it catapulted the Dutch from being welfare laggards to being welfare leaders. Cox charts the course of this growth, from the nineteenth century to the present, placing the Dutch case within the larger theoretical discussion of welfare states.In so doing, Cox challenges the widely held assumption that welfare programs always represent the policies of the social democratic left. He demonstrates that it was not the left but the more centrist religious parties that built the Dutch welfare state in the 1960s. Even more curious is the fact that these same political forces had resisted the expansion of welfare programs throughout the first half of the twentieth century.In many ways, the Netherlands is a crucial test case for assumptions about the welfare state. Its system is one of the largest in the world, rivaling Sweden's as one that devotes the greatest share of public spending to social welfare. How does it compare to other countries? Do present theories of welfare state development fit the Dutch case? What can we learn from the experience of a small state?Cox makes a signal contribution in clarifying the historical record concerning a little-studied country and in advancing theoretical debate.

Analog Optical Links

Theory and Practice

By: Charles H. Cox, III

Analog Optical Links presents the basis for the design of analog links. Following an introductory chapter, there is a chapter devoted to the development of the small signal models for common electro-optical components used in both direct and external modulation. However this is not a device book, so the theory of their operation is discussed only insofar as it is helpful in understanding the small signal models that result. These device models are then combined to form a complete link. With these analytical tools in place, a chapter is devoted to examining in detail each of the four primary link parameters; gain, bandwidth, noise figure and dynamic range. Of particular interest is the inter-relation between device and link parameters. A final chapter explores some of the trade offs among the primary link parameters.

Gibbons v. Ogden, Law, and Society in the Early Republic

By: Thomas H. Cox

Gibbons v. Ogden, Law, and Society in the Early Republic examines a landmark decision in American jurisprudence, the first Supreme Court case to deal with the thorny legal issue of interstate commerce. Decided in 1824, Gibbons v. Ogden arose out of litigation between owners of rival steamboat lines over passenger and freight routes between the neighboring states of New York and New Jersey. But what began as a local dispute over the right to ferry the paying public from the New Jersey shore to New York City soon found its way into John Marshall’s court and constitutional history. The case is consistently ranked as one of the twenty most significant Supreme Court decisions and is still taught in constitutional law courses, cited in state and federal cases, and quoted in articles on constitutional, business, and technological history. Gibbons v. Ogden initially attracted enormous public attention because it involved the development of a new and sensational form of technology. To early Americans, steamboats were floating symbols of progress—cheaper and quicker transportation that could bring goods to market and refinement to the backcountry. A product of the rough-and-tumble world of nascent capitalism and legal innovation, the case became a landmark decision that established the supremacy of federal regulation of interstate trade, curtailed states’ rights, and promoted a national market economy. The case has been invoked by prohibitionists, New Dealers, civil rights activists, and social conservatives alike in debates over federal regulation of issues ranging from labor standards to gun control. This lively study fills in the social and political context in which the case was decided—the colorful and fascinating personalities, the entrepreneurial spirit of the early republic, and the technological breakthroughs that brought modernity to the masses.

The Political Arrays of American Indian Literary History

By: James H. Cox

Bringing fresh insight to a century of writing by Native Americans The Political Arrays of American Indian Literary History challenges conventional views of the past one hundred years of Native American writing, bringing Native American Renaissance and post-Renaissance writers into conversation with their predecessors. Addressing the political positions such writers have adopted, explored, and debated in their work, James H. Cox counters what he considers a “flattening” of the politics of American Indian literary expression and sets forth a new method of reading Native literature in a vexingly politicized context. Examining both canonical and lesser-known writers, Cox proposes that scholars approach these texts as “political arrays”: confounding but also generative collisions of conservative, moderate, and progressive ideas that together constitute the rich political landscape of American Indian literary history. Reviewing a broad range of genres including journalism, short fiction, drama, screenplays, personal letters, and detective fiction—by Lynn Riggs, Will Rogers, Sherman Alexie, Thomas King, Leslie Marmon Silko, Louise Erdrich, Winona LaDuke, Carole laFavor, and N. Scott Momaday—he demonstrates that Native texts resist efforts to be read as advocating a particular set of politics Meticulously researched, The Political Arrays of American Indian Literary History represents a compelling case for reconceptualizing the Native American Renaissance as a literary–historical constellation. By focusing on post-1968 Native writers and texts, argues Cox, critics have often missed how earlier writers were similarly entangled, hopeful, frustrated, contradictory, and unpredictable in their political engagements.

Samuel Smith

The Hero of Baltimore in the War of 1812

By: Hank H. Cox

Sam Smith fought heroically in the American Revolution and was personally close with George Washington. He was one of the most successful businessmen in Baltimore. As a politician, he worked closely with Thomas Jefferson and served for 40 years in Congress, with 18 years in the House and 22 in the Senate. After the British burned Washington, D.C., in the War of 1812, he rallied the people of Baltimore to defend the city. Under his inspired leadership, Baltimore withstood British attacks from both land and sea. This is the story of how he inspired citizens from all walks of life to work and fight together, and is a tale of extraordinary leadership and heroism--not just of Smith himself, but those he led, too.

Managing Your Head and Body so You Can Become a Good Musician

The Psychology of Musical Competence: A Student Musician's Field-Guide to Performance and Freedom from Performance Anxiety

By: Richard H. Cox

As a husband, parent, teacher, and performer I found many expressions of all the aspects of our musical art, as well as so many connections to the entire world of our musical art, as well as so many connections to the entire world of our existence, in Dr. Cox's book. I found these expressions to be very consistent with the approach that I myself, as well as so many of my world-class colleagues, have found to be our life stories. Thank you. --Adolf S. Herseth Principal Trumpet Emeritus Chicago Symphony Orchestra Managing Your Head and Body So You Can Become a Good Musician tackles one of the fundamental dimensions of successful musical performance.

Issues of the Soul

The Core and Ethic of Some of the Most Important Aspects of Life and Death

By: Richard H. Cox

Richard Cox's book emerges, green and refreshing, as an oasis in a desert planted with cactus or downright fake trees of spiritual reading . . . Readers will have a remarkable experience . . . and they will be sorry to come to the last page . . . A book for all seasons by a man for all seasons." --Eugene Kennedy Author, syndicated columnist, Professor Emeritus, Psychology Loyola University, Chicago "Issues of the Soul is a book that I'd encourage everyone to read . . . presented in a spiritual and psychological context [that provides the reader with] the potential for achieving a richer, fuller life." --Gordon Johnson President/CEO Jane Addams Hull House Association "What Richard Cox shares is not dry erudition but vital insights illuminated by an abundance of personal and very relevant anecdotes. This is by no means just another book." --Vernon Grounds Chancellor Denver Seminary "Richard Cox has written a masterpiece in Issues of the Soul. It is all together fitting and proper that he has written this book, and made his wisdom, wit, and insight available to a broad audience." --Herbert H. Franks President Illinois State Bar Association "Comparing life to a cake that is best savored slice by slice, and written by a man who lived, endured and ultimately exulted in every slice of what life offered him, Issues of the Soul is a refreshing, challenging, and a down-to-the-very-groundedness-of-human-existence commentary on contemporary life and its sociological perceptions and misperceptions." --Unula Anderson, MD author of Immunology of the Soul

Miracles And Prayer

By: Jody H. Cox

This is an inspirational book written by a man who spent over thirty years of his life drinking and drugging, after two intense inpatient rehabs, twenty-eight arrests, nine felony convictions, and a five-year prison sentence. The only thing that changed was the amount of party money that was available, had increased, and the disease had gotten worse than ever. Then on the thirtieth day of a thirty-five-day jail sentence, God inspired him to write this book. His life has now changed forever. No more drinking and no more drugs, he is now high on life, happier than heÊs ever been, and for once in his life, totally stable. Dozens and dozens of unbelievable events have taken place, way too ironic to be coincidental. It is all miracles performed by God himself, a perfectly mapped-out plan, totally created by the Master, to change this manÊs life so that he could become a minister and show the world that there is a cure to addictions. Read it and you will be convinced, and you will become a true believer.
