In the fall of 1765, New York City is roiling with fury at the impending enforcement of the Stamp Tax, which portends ruin to virtually all classes. There could not be a worse moment for the young, fetching-but none too bright-third wife of a wealthy merchant to be brutally stabbed to death in her own backyard. With some factions in the city calling for peaceful protest while others howl for armed defiance, her foolish jests against the radicals had aroused bitter indignation, widespread contempt, and the family's mortification. When the slogan of the Sons of Liberty is discovered near her corpse, supporters of the imperial prerogative are quick to assign blame. Unexpectedly commissioned to seek out the truth, aspiring shipper Thomas Dordrecht's first duty is to his desperate employers, frantically working to put their ships to sea before the November first deadline. But when the tax goes into effect on that date, Dordrecht is hot in pursuit of the culprit ... as the town erupts in a full-scale riot that nearly touched off the American Revolution ten years early. "Exquisite Folly is terrific: a marvelous combination of suspense with a superb portrait of New York society." -Thomas Fleming, author of Liberty! The American Revolution

If Two Are Dead

Thomas Dordrecht in 1762

By: Jonathan Carriel

Misadventure? A partner of the shipping ﬁ rm that employs young Thomas Dordrecht was known to be in good health and traveling from Pennsylvania to New York City. Yet his corpse is discovered at dawn in a Manhattan alleyway-and the coroner is unable to specify a cause of death. As the staﬀ grieves, Dordrecht takes it upon himself to parse clues to the man's inexplicable demise, but he is soon interrupted by a long-planned business venture to the Caribbean. Months later, back at home, still dogged by unsatisﬁed curiosity, Dordrecht latches onto one fortuitous clue-unusual playing cards found on the victim's person-and tenaciously pursues the mystery from Long Island across New Jersey to Philadelphia. And once he realizes the victim was murdered in cold blood, he will not rest until he uncovers how, by whom, and why.

Great Mischief

Thomas Dordrecht in 1759

By: Jonathan Carriel

In the late colonial period, one-third of Kings County-Brooklyn-were black slaves, and their Dutch-descended masters were never free of fear of their revolt. But the slaves too had much to fear from insurrection, as overreaction to it invariably cost them deeply. How can each deal with an age-old oppression, the solution to which is still beyond the horizon? Their lives become more strained when the horrific French and Indian War roils the local economy and all of its population to the point where any dereliction of duty, any personal slight can set off an enormous conflagration. Who killed the horrible man in the stocks? He attacked a pretty young slave girl-a crime that offends the townsmen as much for its interracial character as its violence-and now his throat has been cut. How could it be the ancient slave long esteemed for his docility, now boasting of the murder even as he implores God for forgiveness? The possibility that a black man killed a white one is fraught with dire consequences for the entire town ... unless the young Thomas Dordrecht can ferret out the whole truth.

You Have Heard It Said

Events of Reconciliation

By: Jonathan McRay

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is constantly in the news, but what about the people who live through it? Their lives are often overlooked, their stories ignored. This is especially true of Israelis and Palestinians who follow the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, and seek to meet with each other and reconcile in the context of brotherly and sisterly love. But they do exist, and they do have a story to tell. They have chosen to seek reconciliation by participating in activities organized by Musalaha, an organization which facilitates Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation, and this book, skillfully written by Jonathan McRay, is an attempt to allow their voices and their stories to be heard. This collection of stories is an excellent introduction to some of the many issues faced by these followers of Christ on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide, and chronicles the journey toward reconciliation they have chosen to take. The road to reconciliation is long and difficult, and the struggle is vividly portrayed in these narratives. Reading these stories, and the reflection pieces that follow them, leaves one with a picture of real human interaction which goes beyond the stereotypes and caricatures, and offers an authentic glimpse at the lives of Israeli and Palestinian believers, the lives they live, they challenges they face, their fears and their hopes. The stories told in this book are at times difficult to read, as they indicate how much distance still needs to be covered. But they also inspire hope; the brave example of those few who are working toward reconciliation proves that coexistence is possible, and can serve as a model for the future.

Faith in the Future

Faith in the Future

By: Jonathan Sacks

Faith in the Future addresses some of the major themes of our time: the fragmentation of our common culture, the breakdown of family and community life, the lack of moral direction, and the waning of religious belief. How, Sacks asks, can we construct a humane social order that honors human dignity and difference, one in which we can be both true to ourselves and a blessing to others? In the confusing state of postindustrial societies in the post-Cold War situation, can we give those who come after us a coherent map of hope? In treating such questions, Faith in the Future is structured in four parts. In the first, The Moral Covenant, Sacks touches on the broadest of issues: morality, the family, and the importance of communities in the life of society. In the second, Living Together, he asks how we can co-exist while remaining faithful to our distinctive identities and traditions. In the third, Jewish Ethics and Spirituality, he sketches some of Judaism's leading themes. There is such a thing, says, as an ecology of hope, and it lies in restoring to our culture a sense of family, community, and religious faith.

Not in God's Name

Confronting Religious Violence

By: Jonathan Sacks

In this powerful and timely book, one of the most admired and authoritative religious leaders of our time tackles the phenomenon of religious extremism and violence committed in the name of God. If religion is perceived as being part of the problem, Rabbi Sacks argues, then it must also form part of the solution. When religion becomes a zero-sum conceit—i.e., my religion is the only right path to God, therefore your religion is by definition wrong—and when individuals are motivated by what Rabbi Sacks calls “altruistic evil,” violence between peoples of different beliefs appears to be the inevitable outcome. But through an exploration of the roots of violence and its relationship to religion, and employing groundbreaking biblical analysis and interpretation, Rabbi Sacks shows that religiously inspired violence has as its source misreadings of biblical texts at the heart of all three Abrahamic faiths. By looking anew at the book of Genesis, with its foundational stories of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Rabbi Sacks offers a radical rereading of many of the Bible’s seminal stories of sibling rivalry: Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers, Rachel and Leah. Here is an eloquent call for people of goodwill from all faiths and none to stand together, confront the religious extremism that threatens to destroy us all, and declare: Not in God’s Name.
