Understanding the Divide

Understanding the Divide

Lyle K Weiss; Thomas M Tasselmyer

Resource Publications (CA)
2018
pokkari
In Understanding the Divide: A Presbyterian Elder, a Roman Catholic Theologian, and Basic Questions of the Christian Faith, a Presbyterian Elder and a Roman Catholic theologian reflect in dialogical fashion on basic but critical dimensions of contemporary Christian faith. How should we interpret the Bible? How do we get to heaven? What are sacraments and what is their function? Who are the saints and what role if any do they continue to play in the life of the Christian community? Tom Tasselmyer, a Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church in America, and Lyle K. Weiss, a Roman Catholic theologian, respond to these and other questions offering two distinct contemporary visions of an ancient faith. In alternating chapters, Tom and Lyle engage in dialogue concerning basic questions of Christian faith from Reformed and Roman Catholic perspectives, providing readable, intelligible, and accessible answers to questions believers are asking while simultaneously stimulating ongoing thought and fostering mutual respect between two rich traditions within the broader Christian family. ""This is a remarkable book: an honest conversation about faith and theology between a Catholic theologian and his one-time student, a Presbyterian elder committed to the Westminster Confession of Faith. Born of deep Christian friendship and mutual respect, Understanding the Divide is a lovely, inspiring work that invites all Christians to that same kind of reciprocal respect and companionship on the journey of discipleship."" --Michael J. Gorman, Raymond E. Brown Professor of Biblical Studies and Theology, St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore ""It is not often that one gets to have an inside view of what people really believe, but Understanding the Divide is a rare opportunity to do just that. Overhearing this spiritual conversation highlights and brings clarity to the differences in perspective that exist among Christians. More importantly, however, it breathes a wonderful spirit of friendship that only confirms the deeper reality binding us together. Warmly recommended."" --Frank Boswell, senior pastor, Hunt Valley Church, Hunt Valley, Maryland Lyle K. Weiss earned his Doctorate in Sacred Theology from St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland. He has served on the faculties of St. Mary Seminary's Ecumenical Institute and Notre Dame of Maryland University. He now writes full-time. Thomas M. Tasselmyer has been the Chief Meteorologist at WBAL Television in Baltimore, Maryland.

Stories from the Mines

Stories from the Mines

Greg Matkosky; Thomas M. Curra; John W. Cosgrove

University of Scranton Press,U.S.
2006

At the beginning of the twentieth century, hundreds of thousands of European immigrants came to northeastern Pennsylvania to work in the coal mines. "Stories from the Mines" chronicles the struggle of these miners to earn a decent wage, alleviate dangerous working conditions, and gain respect. The perilous work the miners performed for extremely low pay, Greg Matkosky and Thomas M. Curra argue, laid the foundation for America's Industrial Revolution and the modern labor movement. This powerful book traces the miners' epic human rights battle from their arrival in the United States to the Great Strike of 1902 and the inception of the United Mine Workers. Its companion documentary, available separately on DVD, blends dramatic reenactments and never-before-seen archival footage and photographs to recount a conflict that inspired the involvement of Clarence Darrow and Theodore Roosevelt. "Stories from the Mines" highlights the indelible contribution to America's history made by anthracite coal and the men who mined it.

Moments of Truth

Moments of Truth

Howard Ruffner; Thomas M. Grace

Kent State University Press
2019
sidottu
A student journalist's photographic memoir of events surrounding the 1970 Kent State shootings Working as a photographer for the Kent State University student newspaper and yearbook, Howard Ruffner was a college sophomore when the tragic shootings of May 4, 1970, occurred—a tragedy that left four students dead and nine others wounded. Asked to serve as a stringer for Life magazine in the days leading up to May 4, as student protests against the Vietnam War intensified and National Guard troops arrived on campus, Ruffner became a witness and documentarian to this important piece of history. Several of his photographs, including one that appeared on the cover of Life, are etched into our collective consciousness when we think about civil unrest and the latter half of the 20th century.Here, in Moments of Truth: A Photographer's Experience of Kent State 1970, Ruffner not only reproduces a collection of nearly 150 of his photographs—many never before published—but also offers a stirring narrative in which he revisits his work and attempts to further examine these events and his own experience of them. It is, indeed, an intensely personal journey that he invites us to share.An epilogue details how Ruffner's images became critical evidence in the civil trials against the National Guard in 1975 and 1978, as he was the first witness called to take the stand. Ruffner also contemplates the words engraved on the path to what is now the May 4 Memorial Site, a place on the National Register of Historic Places: Inquire, Learn, Reflect. Ruffner's project affirms that we need to ask questions, we need to learn about our history, and we all need to reflect on the past so that our mistakes will not be repeated.

The Heart Mountain Detachment Fault

The Heart Mountain Detachment Fault

The Heart Mountain Detachment Fault (HMDF) is an immense geologic structure in northwest Wyoming that, as defined prior to this study, extends from just inside the northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park to areas southwest and northeast of Cody, WY. This enigmatic structure has puzzled geologists for more than 100 years. The consensus is that a massive slab of limestones and dolomites 320-485 million years old broke away from an outcrop near Silver Gate, MT about 49 million years ago and slid nearly 75 miles to the southeast at speeds of nearly 100 mph to more than 700 mph and broke up into several giant blocks up to five miles in diameter. Heart Mountain, north of Cody, WY, the namesake for this displacement, is where some of its geologic relationships were first recognized over 125 years ago. Our research demonstrates that all of the geologic features attributed to the single event HMDF are instead the result of two geologic events separated in time by more than 47 million years. The first we term the Shoshone/Sunlight/Abiathar Detachment Fault (SSADF) that occurred 49.5 million years ago, and the second we call the Heart Mountain/McCullough Peaks Sturzstrom (HMMPS) that occurred 2.08 million years ago. A sturzstrom is a huge landslide that travels a great horizontal distance. Both massive displacements were instigated by violent tectonic processes. The SSADF was triggered by a powerful megathrust earthquake initiated by plate tectonic movements and followed by extensive volcanism, whereas the HMMPS was caused by a gigantic super eruption of a volcano in what is present-day Yellowstone National Park.
