A History Of Southland College

The Society Of Friends And Black Education In Arkansas

BY THOMAS KENNEDY
This work focuses on dedicated Quaker missionaries in post-Civil War Arkansas. In 1864 Alida and Calvin Clark, two abolitionist members of the Religious Society of Friends from Indiana, went on a mission trip to Helena, Arkansas. The Clarks had come to render temporary relief to displaced war orphans but instead found a lifelong calling. During their time in Arkansas, they started the school that became Southland College, which was the first institution of higher education for blacks west of the Mississippi, and they set up the first predominately black monthly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends in North America.

This nicely illustrated history of that locale and the events around it is full of interesting and telling details.

A History Of The End Of The World

How The Most Controversial Book In The Bible Changed The Course Of Western Civilization

BY JONATHAN KIRSCH
Ever since Revelation was first preached as the revealed word of Jesus Christ, it has haunted and inspired hearers and readers alike. Its mysterious author never considered that his sermon on the impending end times would last beyond his own life but his demonization of his enemies, his sanctification of revenge taking, and the notion that history must end in catastrophe, subsumed into the New Testament, can be detected in some of the worst atrocities and excesses of every age, including our own. For all of these reasons we ignore the book of Revelation, at our own peril.

The History Of White People

BY NELL IRVIN PAINTER
Filling a huge gap in historical literature that long focused on the non-white, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, tracing not only the invention of the idea of "race" but also the worship of "whiteness" for economic, social, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People forcefully reminds us that the concept of one white race is a recent invention. The meaning, importance, and realty of this all-too-human thesis of race have buckled under the weight of a long and rich unfolding of events.

Holding Faith

Creating Peace In A Violent World

BY DAVID GEE
By refusing to allow past violations to determine our present and future choices, cycles of violence can be broken. Each choice aimed at stepping out of the cycle, whether successfully or not, is a peace act. What does committing to preach mean in a violent world? How might this commitment shape our relationships with one another, ourselves and the Earth? David Gee argues for a contemporary, practical faith that enlivens our humanity. A powerful and sometimes challenging exploration, Holding faith shows how this "humane passion played out in the world" can enrich the way we live and begin to turn our societies around.

Holy Cooperation

Building Graceful Economies

BY ANDREW MCLEOD
Holy Cooperation is an examination of what the Bible says about social organizing, and an exploration of some of the many cooperative ways that Christians have worked together in the last two thousand or so years. This same style of organizing can also be found in the modern cooperative movement, which is made up of thousands of democratically controlled businesses serving millions of members worldwide. Nearly half of all Americans at some point in their day to day lives shop or receive services from a coop, and in the current financial state of the world it is an obvious alternative model to the current destructive system.
