This work traces the evolution of a biblical figure whose legacy grew from that of a scribe who edited or wrote the Book of Jeremiah to a divine sage granted a tour of heaven itself. It charts the significance of a minor figure who gradually became a larger-than-life hero in the Jewish and Christian popular imagination. In addition to exploring biblical and postbiblical depictions, it also shows how the various portrayals reveal the leadership models and religious values of early Jewish and Christian communities. It suggests that these communities reinvented Baruch to meet the pressing issues of their day. The text examines the scribe as depicted in the Bible, noting his distinction as one of the few characters whose existence can be attested by archaeological evidence. A loyal friend of Jeremiah, Baruch is recorded to have received a mysterious oracle from God in the midst of Jerusalem's destruction by the Babylonians. The volume explores how beliefs about this message provided the postbiblical impetus for Baruch's transformation into an apocalyptic seer.

This book brings together the author's overall research trajectory of the last five years of his life and the questions he has been asking himself: What is the person? And, what are values? In answering the latter question, Hackett arrived at an answer within the boundaries of Max Scheler, the German phenomenologist, but consequently started to explore the depths of which Scheler's value ontology was predicated on certain assumptions about the person. From these questions, Hackett started to draw upon philosophical approaches that thematize experience--pragmatism and phenomenology. Rooted in the philosophical contributions of Scheler and the American philosopher, William James, this book guides the reader through a fascinating exploration of these philosophical approaches in relation to the person and values. Through thematizing experience, this book reveals that the ontology of value for Scheler resides not only in a person's intentionality but also in the being-of-an-act. As such, this book argues that the deficit of an ontology of value in Scheler rests on interpreting his affective intentionality in much the same way that Heidegger employed phenomenology to discern the ontological care structure of Dasein. In other words, for Scheler, the ontology of value rests on the manner in which values were realized by a person's intentionality. Moreover, this book goes further to reveal that the intentional act life is the source of participation and can be understood as a process-based account of value, otherwise known as account participatory realism. Importantly, within participatory realism Hackett addresses how values have their origin in the process of intentionality since intentionality is generative of meaning. As an important contribution to the field of moral metaphysics, Hackett's critical reflection on the person and values provides a stimulating insight into some of the key debates surrounding pragmatism and phenomenology that will be of great interest to both experienced scholars and researchers, alike.
Chaplain J. Edward Sellers was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1949. He graduated from Garinger High with honors. In 1972, Chap. Sellers got his Bachelor of Arts in Bible with a minor in Education from Columbia Bible College (Columbia International University), where he served as a student association vice president and as a yearbook editor. In 1987, he received a Master of Divinity Degree with a major in Cross-Cultural Ministry and a minor in Counseling from Columbia International University. Chaplain Sellers has served with Youth for Christ for over 25 years, working with high-risk kids and families and with long-term juvenile units in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Iowa, with an emphasis in chaplaincy services. During his ministry, he was known for trying new things, like fishing tournaments, all-night basketball tournaments (Midnight Madness), off-campus day camps, and overnight weekend camps, and he set up one of the first experimental juvenile halfway houses in the country for juvenile males coming out of long-term training schools in North and South Carolina. This program was built around apprentice jobs with faith-based employers. Working with the recreation departments of state training schools in North and South Carolina, Chap. Sellers began a yearly all-star basketball game followed by an awards banquet that included an adult Christian athlete sharing his testimony. This yearly game ran for over 20 years straight without a break and was sponsored by Kiwanis. Chap. Sellers identifies with the following quote by Robert Kennedy: "Some people see things as they are and ask, why? I dream things that never were and ask, why not?" Chaplain Sellers states, "Everything that the Lord has enabled me to do has been mission impossible, but it has all been made possible by the grace and mercy of God. To Him be the glory, great things He has done "

When writing about the Vietnam War, most scholars focus on the 1960s. But in this hard-hitting analysis, eminent historian Dr. J. Edward Lee focuses instead on the key period of 1945 to 1954, the first decade of America's Vietnam War experience. He suggests that as the Cold War commenced in 1945, America failed to remember our nation's own revolutionary experience and the importance of independence and self-determination, missing an opportunity to build a positive relationship with Ho Chi Minh when we aided the return of French colonialism instead of working with him to achieve his country's independence from imperialist France. A must-read for university classes studying the 20th century, veterans groups, and anyone interested in the gritty history of the Vietnam War.
