Elizabeth Norris has spent sixty years living with the lies and secrets of a troubled family; an unstable, abusive father, a cold and distant mother, a sibling incapable of understanding anything but anger, and a lover ruled only by insatiable ambition. And yet there is something beyond all of this, beyond all of the hidden pain caused by those that she trusted or should have trusted - for she bears upon her body unsightly, red gashes from right elbow to forearm and from collar-bone to beneath the chin. They are, for her, very real and tangible symbols of her own deeper, forgotten past that has haunted her steps for as long as she can remember and will not let her go. Now, after her father's death, Elizabeth Norris has finally stumbled upon a clue to her own past and she finds herself on a long and lonely journey to the family's abandoned, cottage. An old, locked place up there just might hold the answer to the greatest secret of all - who she really is. THE BOATHOUSE
In Fall, Adam and Eve lived in harmony with the animals in the Garden of Eden, enjoying Abba Father's rich blessings. Then their encounter with Nahash, the deceiving serpent, left them banished and forbidden to ever return, plunging the world into sin. In Fallen, their children, Cain, Azura, and Abel, sought to continue to hear and to follow Abba Father's voice, sometimes with success but sometimes with tragic results, but leaving a heritage of enmity between the future branches of the burgeoning human race instead: the lines of Cain and of Seth, the husband of Azura. Now, in Flood, the world that has been created with such promise and hope in Eden is utterly corrupt and evil. And now even the Eneph, the Fallen Ones, have arisen and walk the Earth, abominations of the Creation and products of the corruption of both humanity and fallen angels. Abba Father, filled with pain, is determined to destroy the world he has created and the swiftly growing humanity that spreads its sinful taint all over its surface. Only a small remnant, the last of the line of Seth, has a hope of survival. The family of Noah, dwelling in the Valley of Seth, is facing the quickly mounting hostility of Lamech, powerful Cainite king of Kalneh, the Great City, and of all the plain. Noah has been moved by Abba Father to leave their old, protected home in the valley and now, against rapidly shrinking odds and pursued by enemies scenting Seth's final defeat, he must trust in Abba Father as he has never done before to deliver him and his family from the Flood.
In a few short years, Latin America has passed from being a contentious issue in U.S. foreign policy, to one scarcely discussed, to a concern once again with the unrest in Mexico, Cuba, and Haiti. In this study Eldon Kenworthy explains how popular images and the language in which they are embedded affect the making of foreign policy in the United States toward its Latin American neighbors. In particular, the author looks at how the Reagan administration tried to sell its policy on Nicaragua to the American public at a critical juncture in 1986 when it had to contend with a Congressional prohibition of military aid to the Contra rebels. The advertising techniques employed provide a fascinating case study in the refurbishing of old myths for the manipulation of public opinion to support a political crusade.In examining the subtext of the discourse that U.S. leaders reproduce unconsciously, Kenworthy explores the boundary between discourse analysis, which rarely moves beyond texts, and policy analyses that emphasize rationality. U.S. leaders view the hemisphere not only through the calculus of domestic political advantage but also through the prism of historical experience. Buried in the discourse of Washington's relations to Latin America is the myth that fueled the consolidation, then expansion, of federal rule in U.S. territories. Visions of a U.S. project have become conflated with dreams of hemispheric unity. Today, a stable relationship with Latin America cannot be established as long as the U.S. continues to use a discourse grounded in old myths and identities.

The Theological Tendency of Codex Bezae Cantebrigiensis in Acts

Professor Epp's purpose in this investigation is to discover to what extent textual variants in the New Testament were caused by dogmatic interference with the text. Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis, a late fifth-century manuscript of the Gospels and Acts, is the leading Greek representative of the so-called 'Western' text, and a natural starting point for an inquiry into theological bias behind the striking variants in that textual tradition. Professor Epp makes a detailed comparison between the 'Western' text and the 'Neutral' text of Acts, and discloses a strongly heightened anti-Judaic tendency in the Western text. He concludes that a theological motive for these variants can hardly be questioned, since the Western text of Acts is more consistent in delineating its particular viewpoint and more abundant in its evidence than could reasonably be expected of an aberrant textual tradition. This theological approach to textual criticism is not new, but it has been confined hitherto to isolated passages.

The economically depressed rural Kimmel County has one Law Enforcement Officer, Sheriff Leland Kelly. The Sheriff's office in downtown Kimmel also houses the town's jail and a front office where the Sheriff's secretary, Ruth, rules the phones.Recently, most of a woman was found just off a walking trail north of Kimmel. While returning from interviewing the usual suspects and other felons in his area, Sheriff Leland happened on an abandoned Mercedes, out Route 203, with its headlights shot out. Checking it out, he followed a trail of discarded clothing and broken branches 50 yards into the woods and to the site of a second, especially brutal decapitation. Because the town's coroner/mayor/building and roads inspector/postman/caf owner/and senior Rotarian, Pete, was currently on a two week stint of city business visiting Kimmel's sister city of Fernley, just east of Reno, Nevada - Sheriff Leland breathed a sigh of relief and called the town's large animal veterinarian Merlin Travers, instead.
Long before the current calls for national service, civic responsibility, and the restoration of community values, the Progressives initiated a remarkably similar challenge. Eldon Eisenach traces the evolution of this powerful national movement from its theoretical origins through its dramatic rise and sudden demise, and shows why their philosophy still speaks to us with such eloquence.Eisenach analyzes how and why, between 1885 and World War I, progressive political ideas conquered almost every cultural and intellectual bastion except constitutional law and dominated every major national institution except the courts and party system. Progressives, he demonstrates, were especially influential as a force in American politics, higher education, and the media. They created wideranging professional networks that functioned like a ""hidden national government"" to counter a federal government they deeply distrusted. They viewed the university as their national ""Church"" the main repository and disseminator of values they espoused. They established truly national journals for a national audience. And they drew much support from women's rights advocates and other highly vocal movements of their time.Permeated with an evangelical Protestant vision of the future, progressive thought was an integral part of the national discourse for nearly three decades. But, as Eisenach reveals, at the very moment of its triumph it disintegrated as both a coherent theory and a viable public doctrine. With the election in 1912 of Woodrow Wilson, the movement reached its peak, but thereafter lost its momentum and force. Its precipitous decline was accelerated by world war and by the rise of New Deal liberalism. By the end of the Depression it had disappeared as an influential player in American public life.In the decades that followed, the Progressive mantle went unclaimed. Conservatives blamed the Progressives for the rise of the welfare state and many liberals cringed at their theological and imperialist rhetoric. Eisenach, however, argues that we still have much to learn about and from the Progressives. By enlarging our understanding of their thought, we greatly increase our understanding of an America whose national institutions political, cultural, educational, religious, professional, economic, and journalistic are all largely the product of this thinking. In other words, their ideas are still very much with us.
In The Covenanters in Canada, Eldon Hay sheds light on a religious community often overlooked in the chronicle of Canadian history. A group of religious and political dissenters who opposed the interference by the Stuart kings in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland, the Covenanter movement was small, but had deep roots worthy of attention and respect. This study of a resilient tradition of religious dissent reflects the value of variance in a genuinely pluralistic society. The Covenanters objected to a ruler who was both the head of state and head of the church. Tracing the theological and historical significance of the movement in Scotland, Ireland, and the United States, Hay outlines the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of Covenanter missionaries in the Maritimes, Upper and Lower Canada, and the West. Despite fierce opposition from rival denominations, the Covenanters ultimately survived to carve a niche for themselves and develop a precarious relationship with other denominations and secular society - a relationship that remains tenacious and tenuous. A comprehensive study of a minority religious movement, The Covenanters in Canada is an insightful perspective on the evolving relationship between small religious movements and the majority culture.
There are 56 capitol structures in the United States and its territories--and this book has 56 entries about all aspects of their genesis, construction and use including the political origins and history of each governmental unit and the story of how each site was selected (with all the political maneuvering and attempts at personal aggrandizement). Facts about the edifices themselves are in abundance--chronologies of construction, personnel (architects, contractors, others), costs, square footage, principal contents and features (e.g., art work, furnishings, interior and exterior finish), annual maintenance and tour information.
There is a long-standing relationship between broadcasting and sports, and nowhere is this more evident than in the marriage of baseball and radio: a slow sport perfectly suited to the word-painting of broadcasters. This work covers the development of the baseball broadcasting industry from the first telegraph reports of games in progress, the influence of early pioneers at Pittsburgh's KDKA and Chicago's WGN, including the first World Series broadcast, the launch of the Telstar Satellite, the Carlton Fisk homerun in the 1975 World Series, which changed how baseball is broadcast, through the latest computer graphics, HD television, and the Internet.
The name "Junia" appears in Romans 16:7, and Paul identifies her (along with Andronicus) as "prominent among the apostles." In this important work, Epp investigates the mysterious disappearance of Junia from the traditions of the church. Because later theologians and scribes could not believe (or wanted to suppress) that Paul had numbered a woman among the earliest churches' apostles, Junia's name was changed in Romans to a masculine form. Despite the fact that the earliest churches met in homes and that other women were clearly leaders in the churches (e.g., Prisca and Lydia), calling Junia an apostle seemed too much for the tradition. Epp tracks how this happened in New Testament manuscripts, scribal traditions, and translations of the Bible. In this thoroughgoing study, Epp restores Junia to her rightful place.
