Rev. G. J. Wegener: His Life and Ministry in New Orleans

Rev. G. J. Wegener: His Life and Ministry in New Orleans

Kevin J. Bozant

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Recently discovered photographs, private letters, and various official documents, capture the fascinating and intricate details of life in New Orleans at the corner of Port and Burgundy Streets in Faubourg Marigny between 1887 and 1947. In "Rev. G. J. Wegener: His Life and Ministry in New Orleans," the personal recollections of Pastor Wegener, his two wives, fifteen children, and the members of St. Paul Lutheran Church, come together to create an intimate portrait of the Wegener family. Sixty years of reminiscences from the stoop of their two-story parsonage on Port Street reveal how one New Orleans family - in the face of floods, fires, yellow fever, financial hardship, the 1915 hurricane, the Great Depression, prohibition, and two world wars - is sustained by the bonds of love and faith.

St. Paul Lutheran Church of New Orleans: The First 80 Years 1840-1920

St. Paul Lutheran Church of New Orleans: The First 80 Years 1840-1920

Kevin J. Bozant

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
This publication revisits the first 80 years of St. Paul Lutheran Church, exploring the congregation's formative years in Faubourg Marigny, New Orleans. Between 1840 and 1920, the members of St. Paul endured a turbulent history of fires, language disputes, epidemics, Civil War, hurricanes, doctrinal confusion, and World War I. Yet, 80 years after its founding by German immigrants, St. Paul continued to display the energy and vitality that would distinguish it for another century. Hundreds were baptized at the ancient German-era font still in use today. Celebrating thousands of baptisms, confirmations, and marriages, their lives remained focused on the religious values and social responsibilities of this remarkable church family. St. Paul survives to this day at the corner of Port and Burgundy Streets, having found sustenance for 180 years through capable leadership, inclusive fellowship, and the inestimable bonds of love and faith. The first 50 years, 1840-1890, are recorded here by republishing Rev. G. J. Wegener's history of the congregation, Geschichte der St. Paulus Gemeinde, with its original illustrations, published in 1890. Wegener's original work is further illustrated with additional archival documents and photographs. The years 1890 through 1920, capture St. Paul's emergence into the 20th century. This period is explored through the subsequent writings and recollections of Pastor Wegener and his family, with additional details gleaned from the archives of St. Paul. The memoirs of fellow clergy, school teachers, and congregational members, create a multifaceted portrait of a congregation as a work in progress. There are also parallel historical accounts written by various church historians in order to bring a more balanced perspective to the narrative. This book reveals details about St. Paul's early pastors and teachers by way of synodical sources, family photographs, personal memoirs, and private letters, creating brief biographical portraits of the pioneering German theologians and educators who introduced Evangelical Protestantism, as well as the beginnings of Lutheranism, to New Orleans. The St. Paul archives include a vintage collection of individual confirmation portraits featuring the ancestors of many current and former St. Paul families. Their inclusion here places a human face on the historical record. They have not been seen in decades and many of them are published here for the first time. This is the beginning; an exploration of the human drama and doctrinal confusion, so evident during St. Paul's emergence in the mid-19th century. Here is also an encouraging portrait of a Lutheran congregation, blessed with steadfast leadership, determined to navigate its way into the 20th century and beyond. Kevin J. Bozant has revisited the historical writings and archives of his great-grandfather, Rev. G. J. Wegener, resulting in the following publications: Rev. G. J. Wegener: His Life and Ministry in New Orleans, St. Paul Lutheran Church of New Orleans: The First 80 Years 1840-1920, and Bethlehem Orphan Home: New Orleans Refuge.

Managing Ocean Environments in a Changing Climate summarizes the current state of several threats to the global oceans. What distinguishes this book most from previous works is that this book begins with a holistic, global-scale focus for the first several chapters and then provides an example of how this approach can be applied on a regional scale, for the Pacific region. Previous works usually have compiled local studies, which are essentially impossible to properly integrate to the global scale. The editors have engaged leading scientists in a number of areas, such as fisheries and marine ecosystems, ocean chemistry, marine biogeochemical cycling, oceans and climate change, and economics, to examine the threats to the oceans both individually and collectively, provide gross estimates of the economic and societal impacts of these threats, and deliver high-level recommendations.

George Washington: A Life in Books

George Washington: A Life in Books

Kevin J. Hayes

Oxford University Press Inc
2017
sidottu
When it comes to the Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton are generally singled out as the great minds of early America. Up until the present day, George Washington has never been taken seriously as an intellectual. Indeed, John Adams once snobbishly dismissed him as "too illiterate, unlearned, unread for his station and reputation." Yet Adams and most of the men who knew Washington were unaware of his regular devotion to reading as a program of self-improvement. Based on an exhaustive amount of research at the Library of Congress, the collections at Mount Vernon, and rare book archives scattered across the country, Kevin J. Hayes draws on juvenilia, letters, diaries, pamphlets, and the close to 1,000 books owned by Washington to reconstruct the active intellectual life that has gone largely unnoticed in conventional narratives of the first US president. Despite being a lifelong reader, Washington felt a sense of acute embarrassment about his relative lack of formal education and cultural sophistication, and in this lively literary biography, Hayes reconstructs how Washington worked tirelessly to improve his mind. Beginning with the primers, forgotten periodicals, conduct books, and classic eighteenth-century novels such as Tom Jones that shaped Washington's early life, Hayes engages with Washington's letters and journals, charting the many ways the books of his upbringing affected decisions before and during the Revolutionary War. The final section of the book covers the voluminous reading that occurred during Washington's presidency and his retirement at Mount Vernon. Throughout, Hayes also engages with Washington's writings as well as his readings, starting with The Journal of Major George Washington and going through his Farewell Address. The sheer breadth of titles under review here allow readers to glimpse Washington's views on foreign policy, economics, the law, art, slavery, marriage, and religion. Ultimately, The Books of George Washington's Life offers a startling new perspective on the mind of America's Father, uncovering the ideas that shaped his intellectual journey and, subsequently, the development of young America.

When it comes to the Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton are generally considered the great minds of early America. George Washington, instead, is toasted with accolades regarding his solid common sense and strength in battle. Indeed, John Adams once snobbishly dismissed him as "too illiterate, unlearned, unread for his station and reputation." Yet Adams, as well as the majority of the men who knew Washington in his life, were unaware of his singular devotion to self-improvement. Based on a comprehensive amount of research at the Library of Congress, the collections at Mount Vernon, and rare book archives scattered across the country, Kevin J. Hayes corrects this misconception and reconstructs in vivid detail the active intellectual life that has gone largely unnoticed in conventional narratives of Washington. Despite being a lifelong reader, Washington felt an acute sense of embarrassment about his relative lack of formal education and cultural sophistication, and in this sparkling literary biography, Hayes illustrates just how tirelessly Washington worked to improve. Beginning with the primers, forgotten periodicals, conduct books, and classic eighteenth-century novels such as Tom Jones that shaped Washington's early life, Hayes studies Washington's letters and journals, charting the many ways the books of his upbringing affected decisions before and during the Revolutionary War. The final section of the book covers the voluminous reading that occurred during Washington's presidency and his retirement at Mount Vernon. Throughout, Hayes examines Washington's writing as well as his reading, from The Journal of Major George Washington through his Farewell Address. The sheer breadth of titles under review here allow readers to glimpse Washington's views on foreign policy, economics, the law, art, slavery, marriage, and religion-and how those views shaped the young nation..

The Future of the Book: Images of Reading in the American Utopian Novel looks at how turn-of-the-century utopian novelists imagined what the book would be like in the ideal future. This works examines many different aspects of book culture. One chapter looks at the utopian residential library, both its contents and its personal and social functions. In the ideal future, everyone has books in their home. Another chapter discusses the public library in utopia. Many of the innovations the utopian novelists imagined correct problems that real public libraries faced in late nineteenth-century America. In utopia, everyone knows how to use the public library. A third chapter shifts the discussion of books and reading from the place of consumption to the place of production, looking at the role of the author in utopia. This chapter also attempts to answer a vexing question: Can an ideal world produce great literature? The utopian novelists said yes, but the novels they imagined in the future make their conclusions more circumspect. A parallel chapter studies what the utopian newspaper would be like. Some utopian novelists projected alternative news media, foreseeing technology that anticipated television and the internet. The final chapter examines what printed books would look like in the ideal future, looking at graphic design, universal languages, and methods to assure that the books would be printed without censorship or editorial intrusion.

The sheer variety of Jefferson's many pursuits-he was an inventor, horticulturist, statesman, architect, and philosopher, among many other things-almost mask the singularity of his genius. But there is little doubt that our third president was also one of America's greatest intellectuals. This superb new biography focuses on Jefferson's intellectual and literary life. It follows Jefferson's education from adolescence to adulthood, examines his interests, and gives new interpretations of his writings. Early writings, including A Summary View of the Rights of British America, the Declaration of Independence, and Notes on the State of Virginia are analyzed in depth. Hayes also provides substantial coverage of Jefferson's professional, social, and literary activities in Paris and his travels through Europe. He devotes a chapter to the time he served as secretary of state and his publication, The Anas, an extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at George Washington's presidency. His tenure as vice-president and president is considered in light of the ideas and relationships that were most salient for him during those crucial years. Separate chapters treat his correspondence with John Adams, the formation of the Library of Congress and his retirement library, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, The Autobiography, and the founding of the University of Virginia. Overall, the biography offers an intimate portrait of the life of the mind that Jefferson cultivated and dreamed of one day developing to its full potential while in retirement at Monticello.
