Where Do We Go from Here?

Keeping It Real Is the Best Thing You Can Do.

By: Jason H. Bell

This isnt your everyday stereotypical story with token characters such as your extremely sexually active confused teen or the rising school sports star. No this is about the unfortunate events that happen to your average person who keeps it real one day at a time. Most people would consider Andre as the average eighteen-year-old. School is a waste of time. Only money and girls can hold his interest. Where Do We Go From Here takes you face first into the trials and tribulations of a young confused black man dealing with adversity such as graduating high school, relationships, getting a job, and the bad influences they face everyday. Although raised in a two-parent home, Andre rarely received the attention and direction that our young black men so desperately need in order to become successful. Mentored by the neighborhood drug dealer Greg, Andre somehow manages to avoid the life of crime that his younger friend Brian admires because of the fast life it brings. Undaunted by the circumstantial temptations they go in opposite directions in life. When Andre graduates high school and becomes involved with a highly motivated aspiring lawyer named Ashley life finally looks promising. When a friendship from the past resurfaces only to disrupt the tranquility of Andres relationship with Ashley do things begin to fall a part and love is truly tested. In Andres darkest hour he is forced to rise to the occasion and do whatever is necessary to make things right even if it involves risking his own life in the process.

Labor's End

How the Promise of Automation Degraded Work

By: Jason Resnikoff

Labor's End traces the discourse around automation from its origins in the factory to its wide-ranging implications in political and social life. As Jason Resnikoff shows, the term automation expressed the conviction that industrial progress meant the inevitable abolition of manual labor from industry. But the real substance of the term reflected industry's desire to hide an intensification of human work--and labor's loss of power and protection--behind magnificent machinery and a starry-eyed faith in technological revolution. The rhetorical power of the automation ideology revealed and perpetuated a belief that the idea of freedom was incompatible with the activity of work. From there, political actors ruled out the workplace as a site of politics while some of labor's staunchest allies dismissed sped-up tasks, expanded workloads, and incipient deindustrialization in the name of technological progress. A forceful intellectual history, Labor's End challenges entrenched assumptions about automation's transformation of the American workplace.

Paul and the Resurrection of Israel

Jews, Former Gentiles, Israelites

By: Jason A. Staples

A 'big' book with a bold new idea: Paul's gospel with its inclusion of the Gentiles directly relates to the salvation of Israel promised in the Hebrew Bible. Providing a better understanding of the 'parting of the ways' between Christianity and Judaism, the book boldly transforms understandings of Christian origins.

Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism

"Gilbert Amongst Whistler, Wilde, Leighton, Pater and Burne-Jones "

By: Jason Edwards

Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism presents the first sustained re-evaluation of the life and work of one of the most acclaimed sculptors of the late-Victorian period. Drawing on important new archival sources, this ground-breaking study challenges the customary assumption that Aestheticism was primarily a literary, painterly or architectural phenomena. Jason Edwards reveals both the diverse ways in which Gilbert's sculptures operated within the context of Aestheticism and also how these works provided a unique and provocative commentary on the history of masculine friendship and eroticism in the period leading up to and beyond the Wilde trials in 1895. Detailed readings are offered of the relationship of Gilbert's work to essays by Pater and Swinburne, poems, plays, and novels by Wilde and W. S. Gilbert, and paintings by Burne-Jones, Leighton, Rossetti, Solomon, Whistler, and Watts. With over 90 illustrations, including key contemporary photographs showing Gilbert's works in their original contexts, this book makes a major contribution to the field of Victorian sculpture studies.

Paul, The Apostle of Obedience

Reading Obedience in Romans

By: Jason A. Myers

Jason A. Myers reconsiders the meaning and context of the phrase “the obedience of faith” in Rom 1:5 and how it contributes to the theme of obedience in Romans. In contrast to previous studies that have nearly exclusively focused on the obedience language in light of the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple literature, Myers instead investigates how this language functioned within the Greco-Roman world, particularly in the discourse of the Roman Empire. By studying both the Greco-Roman contexts and the use of obedience language during the Empire, Myers sheds fresh light on the meaning of “the obedience of faith,” and concludes that such examination helps contemporary readers understand how Gentiles in Paul's audience would have heard and received the terms and images relating to obedience. In addition, he argues that Paul's use of obedience language, both at the beginning and end of Romans (1:5; 15:18), serves as rhetorical bookends, and signals a theme that is central to Paul's purpose in Romans and integral to his calling as an apostle to the Gentiles.

The Postmodern Humanism of Philip K. Dick

By: Jason P. Vest

From his 1952 short story 'Roog' to the novels The Divine Invasion and VALIS, few authors have had as great of an impact in the latter half of the 20th century as Philip K. Dick. In The Postmodern Humanism of Philip K. Dick, Jason Vest explores the work of this prolific, subversive, and mordantly funny science-fiction writer. He examines how Dick adapted the conventions of science fiction and postmodernism to reflect humanist concerns about the difficulties of maintaining identity, agency, and autonomy in the latter half of the 20th century. In addition to an extensive analysis of the novel Now Wait for Last Year, Vest makes intellectually provocative comparisons between Dick and the works of Franz Kafka, Jorge Luis Borges, and Italo Calvino. He offers a detailed examination of Dick's literary relationship to all three authors, illuminating similarities between Dick and Kafka that have not previously been discussed, as well as similarities between Dick and Borges that scholars frequently note but fail to explore in detail. Like Kafka, Borges, and Calvino, Dick employs fantastic, unreal, and visionary fiction to reflect the disruptions, dislocations, and depressing realities of twentieth-century life. By comparing him to these other writers, Vest demonstrates that Dick's fiction is a fascinating barometer of postmodern American life even as it participates in an international tradition of visionary literature.
