The central purpose of this book is to offer an account of crucial intellectual challenges to traditional British theology, challenges that provoked wide-ranging discussions and decisively shaped British theology. In several instances, they resulted in rather fundamental reconceptions of traditional doctrine and belief. Not all of the conclusions reached in these debates proved enduring, and some efforts to accommodate theology to advances in the sciences proved spurious or unnecessary. Yet even the ill-fated forays and speculations were efforts to respond to new, genuine questions that required answers. Livingston, the dean of Victorian religious history, approaches this subject from a new perspective. By 1860, the religious discussion in Britain had broadened significantly in two ways. First, the examination of critical theological issues had moved outside the bounds of the established Church of England and its three dominant parties. The discussion now engaged highly respected Roman Catholic, Nonconformist, and secular thinkers of impressive range. Second, the deeper and more consequential debates on matters touching on religion were no longer dominated by clerics and theologians. Livingston demonstrates that the late Victorian decades were a time of vitality and creativity in the educated public's discussion of critical religious and theological matters. Livingston reconceptualizes British religious thought in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth.

He soon finds himself transported to the Land of Oz where he must face the wrath of the Fighting Trees who have grown bitter after their defeat at the hands of the Tin Woodman so long ago. In this compelling tale of fantasy and adventure in the Land of Oz, the young magician discovers new friends along the way, conquers his fears and battles the oncoming wave of trees and mushrooms alongside Dorothy and Toto.
Over a century ago, an unwritten code of ethics began to emerge among the cowboys of the West. With time, cowboys of all colors and creeds operated by their own version of it, or risked being ostracized - or worse. It seemed that as long as people ate meat, there'd be cows, as long as there were cows, there'd be cowboys, and as long as there were cowboys, there'd be that code. But after over twenty years of traveling and documenting America's vanishing West, Award-winning photographer and journalist Jim Tunell saw that the original Code of the West - had seen better days. With this book, you will find not only a collection of insights as to what's so quickly disappearing but, at the same time, a no-nonsense, forty step road map to successfully becoming "Someone to Ride the River With." It is complete with rare photos and first-hand accounts from America's West - to guide you on your way.
The story of Daniel is one of the best-known stories in all of Scripture. It is one of triumph, which speaks to the salvation of humanity. In this narrative, we experience how poetry plays a significant role in retelling this magnificent historical saga. It tells the story of Daniel and the three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego's journey into captivity in Babylon and continues through successive kingdoms of Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and even to our day. In graphic detail, it foretold the coming Kingdom of God in the representation of the stone that was cut out with no human hands, which smote the image and became a great Kingdom. The Daniel story is one of achievements in the face of the storms of life, rising to the highest possible positions of leadership and success despite the difficulties. Daniel and the three Hebrew boys were taken into captivity in a strange land and commanded to follow, practice and worship an idolized image and cultural norms in which they did not participate. They were thrown into the fiery furnace, the lion's den; yet, they were able to withstand all that was thrust upon them and stood up like brave men. Daniel stood for what was right and for good over evil. Daniel's language was one of expectant hope and deliverance. I hope that the "Language of Daniel" will help us revisit, once again, the life story of Daniel and let the poetic expressions inspire us.
The publication of James C. Snowden’s burning house fairy tale introduces a poet hell-bent on proving modern confessional poetry can be sophisticated, clever, and ultimately entertaining. Over two decades, Snowden’s voice has taken on a shape clearly recognizable among confessional poets—yet distinctly original. Beneath their stark reality, each poem is driven by an endlessly brave imagination that aspires to occupy and filter our viewpoints on experience. The personal stories have a way of changing how we have come to see our own lives. During that change, you are allowed to witness how a poet can reinvent his own.
