Apostasy Can Lead a Nation to Self-Destruct

Will America Mend Its Ways and Return to God?

By: Philip Wittig

Apostasy Can Lead a Nation to Self-Destruct: Will America Mend Its Ways and Return to God? is the study of two nations separated in time by several thousand years. From their founding, both nations and their people, for untold generations, were consecrated and dedicated to God. Who are these nations? They are ancient Israel and America. Both nations were plagued with historical amnesia—the failure to pass on to future generations the story about the protection, blessings, and prosperity they had received at the hand of a loving and compassionate God. As a result, apostasy began to gain traction so that the people of each nation began replacing the worship of God with flourishing idolatry. What happened to ancient Israel is history. God waited patiently for the nation to return to him so that he could destroy its enemies and heal the nation. He patiently tolerated its defiance but finally declared his righteous judgment, allowing the evil Assyrians to destroy that nation, and ancient Israel disappeared from biblical history. The status of America remains in limbo as God waits patiently for America to respond positively to his plea to return to him while it defiantly marches to its impending doom. Time is running out! A chapter is included that is directed to the reader who is doubtful that America will return to God but is also concerned about the eternal destination of his soul should America be destroyed by a cataclysmic event.

American Covenant

A History of Civil Religion from the Puritans to the Present

American Covenant

A History of Civil Religion from the Puritans to the Present

By: Philip Gorski

The long battle between exclusionary and inclusive versions of the American story Was America founded as a Christian nation or a secular democracy? Neither, argues Philip Gorski in American Covenant. What the founders envisioned was a prophetic republic that would weave together the ethical vision of the Hebrew prophets and the Western political heritage of civic republicanism. In this eye-opening book, Gorski shows why this civil religious tradition is now in peril—and with it the American experiment. American Covenant traces the history of prophetic republicanism from the Puritan era to today, providing insightful portraits of figures ranging from John Winthrop and W.E.B. Du Bois to Jerry Falwell, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama. Featuring a new preface by the author, this incisive book demonstrates how half a century of culture war has drowned out the quieter voices of the vital center, and demonstrates that if we are to rebuild that center, we must recover the civil religious tradition on which the republic was founded.

Mormons and the Bible

Mormons and the Bible

The Place of the Latter-day Saints in American Religion

By: Philip L. Barlow

Philip L. Barlow offers an in-depth analysis of the approaches taken to the Bible by major Mormon leaders, from its beginnings to the present. He shows that Mormon attitudes toward the Bible comprise an extraordinary mix of conservative, liberal, and radical ingredients: an almost fundamentalist adherence to the King James Version co-exists with belief in the possibility of new revelation and surprising ideas about the limits of human language. Barlow's exploration takes important steps toward unraveling the mystery of this quintessential American religious phenomenon. This updated edition of Mormons and the Bible includes an extended bibliography and a new preface, casting Joseph Smith's mission into a new frame and treating evolutions in Mormonism's biblical usage in recent decades.

Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste

How Neoliberalism Survived the Financial Meltdown

By: Philip Mirowski

At the onset of the Great Recession, as house prices sank and joblessness soared, many commentators concluded that the economic convictions behind the disaster would now be consigned to history. Yet in the harsh light of a new day, attacks against government intervention and the global drive for austerity are as strong as ever. Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste is the definitive account of the wreckage of what passes for economic thought, and how neoliberal ideas were used to solve the very crisis they had created. Now updated with a new afterword, Philip Mirowski’s sharp and witty work provides a roadmap for those looking to escape today’s misguided economic dogma.

America Is Calling

By: Philip Staggs

Have you ever considered the meaning in the words Truth, Liberty, and Freedom? Have you wondered what it means for America to have a designed mission that demonstrates exceptionalism and manifests our destiny? Have you pondered the relationship Darwinism, Atheism, Evolution and Christianity play in the role of the American family? "America Is Calling" is one of the boldest and most forthright accounts concerning principles of liberty, truth, America, and the American family. Concepts most authors are not willing to bring out in the open, are finally shed some light. Our world today is overflowing with confusion and uncertainty and filled with economic concerns and worldwide political bickering. "America Is Calling" states the factual reasons for today's worldly conflicts. Benjamin Franklin told us our constitution is a "Republic if we can keep it." President Ronald Reagan once said "If we ever forget we are 'One Nation Under God', we will go under." When reading this book, it invites you to search your inner self for answers to questions such as; What does America really mean to me? Where do I stand when it comes to holding to "The Spirit of America"? How much am I willing to give to keep America a Republic? Opening this book will answer these questions that will change your life forever. Do not continue waiting, for "America Is Calling.

Forest Monitoring

Chapter 3. Forest and Related-Ecosystem Monitoring in Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia

By: Hiroyuki Sase,Wilfredo M. Carandang,Elizabeth Philip,Masamichi Takahashi,Naoyuki Yamashita

Many studies have elucidated the possible effects of air pollution/acid deposition on East Asian forest ecosystems. Consequently, in addition to monitoring wet and dry deposition, the Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia (EANET) has been monitoring soil, vegetation, and inland water in forest areas since 2001 as part of its regular-phase activities. Moreover, catchment monitoring is being promoted as an integrated monitoring effort. In this chapter, the monitoring methodologies used in EANET are introduced and the recent outcomes from regular monitoring and research activities are highlighted according to the Second Periodic Report on the State of Acid Deposition in East Asia, which was based on data from the period 2005 to 2009.
