In this little book, he gives an introduction to a number of problems that he and others see with the apparent consensus view on this topic.

Tendo como elemento central o resgate da esperança para aqueles que sofrem as consequências do racismo, "Uma leitura negra" propõea prática da leitura da Bíblia e de sua interpretação a partir da rica herança da igreja negra, ou da "interpretação eclesiástica negra", como denomina o autor. Esau McCaulley constrói sua argumentação aliando elementos que por vezes parecem inconciliáveis: uma sólida argumentação baseada na ortodoxia bíblica e um forte apelo étnico e social.

Missionary Diplomacy illuminates the crucial place of religion in nineteenth-century American diplomacy. From the 1810s through the 1920s, Protestant missionaries positioned themselves as key experts in the development of American relations in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Middle East. Missionaries served as consuls, translators, and occasional trouble-makers who forced the State Department to take actions it otherwise would have avoided. Yet as decades passed, more Americans began to question the propriety of missionaries' power.

What if the present cultural setback is really a divine setup for a spiritual comeback? Ungodly forces have devastated American culture. The family of faith is feeling intimidated and fearful. Worse, many of us think that nothing can be done about it—that society will inevitably get worse.

If we choose to live in this bravery, we will realign the nation with Christian values.

The final tome of the Revelation Riddle trilogy provides gripping prophetic revelation on God’s inimitable plan for humanity.

In an era in which religion can be perceived as a source of division rather than peace, Heaven Help Us by former Ohio governor and congressman John Kasich explores true, inspiring stories of American faith communities becoming fresh, surprising forces for the common good.

In the midst of intense global societal discord (persecution, rights activism, racial tension, intense political hostility, and the resurgence of anti-establishment counterculture), many have lost faith in governments and even in church leadership to provide answers and stability. But this feeling has occurred before.

In Killing America, host of FlashPoint and Revival Radio TV Gene Bailey and his wife, Teri, drill down on the anti-God attack on this nation and pinpoint godly, common-sense strategies that uphold truth and freedom.

All Americans know we are in a state of cultural crisis, but how did we get to this point? It has been said, if we seek an actual legal date for the fall of Judeo-Christian culture in America, it would be June 26, 2015, the day the Supreme Court ruled that homosexual marriage was a constitutionally protected right. But according to William D. Howard, the destruction of our country started well before that when states began changing laws and incorporating changes that had lasting repercussions on the culture as a whole.

Over the last decade, the Religious Right has evolved. Some of the more extreme beliefs of American evangelicalism have begun to take hold in the mainstream. Scholar Matthew D.

America has been dealt a heavy blow; she is on her knees. Her enemies and the evil politicians who have sold her out believe she is finished. She is reminded that she was born out of adversity. On her knees, she is reminded of God’s words to His people. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

In Spellbound, historian Molly Worthen argues that we will understand our present moment if we learn the story of charisma in America. From the Puritans and Andrew Jackson to Black nationalists and Donald Trump, the saga of American charisma, Worthen argues, stars figures who possess a dangerous and alluring power to move crowds. They invite followers into a cosmic drama where hopes are fulfilled and grievances are put right—and these charismatic leaders insist that they alone plot the way.
