What counts as 'indigenous religion' in today´s world? Who claims this category? What are the processes through which local entities become recognisable as 'religious' and 'indigenous'? How is all of this connected to struggles for power, rights and sovereignty?This book sheds light on the contemporary lives of indigenous religion(s), through case studies from Sápmi, Nagaland, Talamanca, Hawai`i, and Gujarat, and through a shared focus on translations, performances, mediation and sovereignty. It builds on long term case-studies and on the collaborative comparison of a long-term project, including shared fieldwork. At the center of its concerns are translations between a globalising discourse (indigenous religion in the singular) and distinct local traditions (indigenous religions in the plural).With contributions from leading scholars in the field, this book is a must read for students and researchers in indigenous religions, including those in related fields such as religious studies and social anthropology.

In the Ancient world, one began the study of Plato with two dialogues: the Greater Alcibiades and the Gorgias, which depict Socrates' first conversations with two famous men: Alcibiades, the Athenian statesman, general, and traitor-and the great sophist Gorgias, who taught ambitious young men like Alcibiades how to rise as their society declined around them. Greg Johnson's Tyranny & Wisdom leads you carefully through these dialogues and demonstrates that the Ancients were right: together, they are an excellent introduction to Plato. Here we encounter Plato's most challenging ideas, threaded together by a highly dramatic conflict between two ways of life: the pursuit of power vs. the pursuit of wisdom.

There's a lot of truth in fiction.In Novel Takes, Greg Johnson explores racial, ethnic, and political themes in such works as Jean Raspail's The Camp of the Saints, Frank Herbert's Dune series, Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, H. P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth, John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces, Michel Houellebecq's Submission and Annihilation, Tito Perdue's Morning Crafts, The Node, and Reuben, Chuck Palahniuk's Adjustment Day, and others.

Charting the path forward for our churches and ministries in providing care--not a cure--for our non-straight sisters and brothers who are living lives of costly obedience to Jesus.At the start of the gay rights movement in 1969, evangelicalism's leading voices cast a vision for gay people who turn to Jesus. It was C.S. Lewis, Billy Graham, Francis Schaeffer and John Stott who were among the most respected leaders within theologically orthodox Protestantism. We see with them a positive pastoral approach toward gay people, an approach that viewed homosexuality as a fallen condition experienced by some Christians who needed care more than cure.With the birth and rise of the ex-gay movement, the focus shifted from care to cure. As a result, there are an estimated 700,000 people alive today who underwent conversion therapy in the United States alone. Many of these patients were treated by faith-based, testimony-driven parachurch ministries centered on the ex-gay script. Despite the best of intentions, the movement ended with very troubling results. Yet the ex-gay movement died not because it had the wrong sex ethic. It died because it was founded on a practice that diminished the beauty of the gospel.Yet even after the closure of the ex-gay umbrella organization Exodus International in 2013, the ex-gay script continues to walk about as the undead among us, pressuring people like me to say, "I used to be gay, but I'm not gay anymore. Now I'm just same-sex attracted."For orthodox Christians, the way forward is to take a close look at our history. It is time again to focus with our Neo-Evangelical fathers on caring over attempting to cure.With warmth and humor, as well as original research, Still Time to Care provides:Guidance for the gay person who hears the gospel and finds themselves smitten by the life-giving call of Jesus.Guidance for the church to repent of its homophobia and instead offer gospel-motivated love and compassion.

Greg Johnson's Toward a New Nationalism is a companion volume to his The White Nationalist Manifesto. Toward a New Nationalism offers a White Nationalist analysis of race realism, white identity, the problems with conservatism and libertarianism, "hate," "white privilege," American ethnic identity and nationalism, technological utopianism, freedom of speech, metapolitics, the Jewish question, the rise and fall of the Alt Right, and the ethos of idealism, duty, and self-sacrifice that white advocates need to cultivate if they are to change the world.

The trial of Socrates is a pivotal event in world history. Before Socrates, philosophy had put society on trial. Now society was striking back. The Trial of Socrates first presents the case for the prosecution based on Aristophanes' comedy Clouds, which mocks Socrates as a preacher of atheism and moral corruption. The case for the defense is drawn from five of Plato's dialogues, which explore the permanent tensions between intellectual freedom and social order, as well as how they might be harmonized. "Socrates was the pivotal figure in the emergence of Western philosophy. Greg Johnson's The Trial of Socrates is the clearest and most incisive introduction to the life and teachings Socrates that I have ever read." -Collin Cleary, Ph.D., author of Wagner's Ring & the Germanic Tradition "In The Trial of Socrates, Greg Johnson guides us through the difficult and ambiguous evidence concerning one of the most crucial turning points in the West's cultural history: the career and eventual execution of the Athenian philosopher Socrates. In doing so, he brings the reader close to the heart of our tradition and what it means to be an heir of that tradition today. -F. Roger Devlin, Ph.D., author of Sexual Utopia in Power "Plato's Apology of Socrates is the court report of the trial and death sentence of history's most famous philosopher. Greg Johnson's The Trial of Socrates is an important companion to anyone approaching the text for the first time, providing the historical context to bring this key text back to life." -Mark Gullick, Ph.D., author of Vanikin in the Underworld "Nietzsche's hope to 'reestablish the broken link with the Greeks' finds very few adherents in academia today. Teachers with the enthusiasm, talent, learning, and seriousness for such a task have been driven out of our colleges and universities. Where does one turn for guidance? With the publication of The Trial of Socrates-a lively, engaging, and accessible introduction to the fundamental moral-political and philosophic problems embodied in the life of Socrates-Greg Johnson steps into the void and helps fulfill a vital need in our destitute time." -Anonymous Heidegger Scholar

In 2020, America was hit by three waves of catastrophe: the Covid-19 pandemic, widespread racial violence, and a stolen presidential election, leading to economic devastation, explosions of black crime and white flight in diverse cities, and a government crippled by deep polarization and the stench of illegitimacy. In The Year America Died, Greg Johnson comments on these crises and explains how they can be used to promote white identity politics.The crises of 2020 are opportunities for white identitarians, but in many ways, the movement is unable to capitalize on them due to bad ideas, bad organization, and bad actors. Thus the book ends on a self-critical note, with essays on the pathologies of the White Nationalist movement, including terrorism, accelerationism, paranoia, misogyny, injustice, embitterment, putting personalities above principles, and other follies.

White identity politics is the wave of the future. Since 2015, Western elites have been in full panic at the rising tide of nationalism, populism, and white identity politics. To beat back this tide, the parties of the center-Right and center-Left have formed a united front, along with the media, academia, and big businesses. They have resorted to campaigns of vilification, censorship, and outright electoral fraud. In White Identity Politics, Greg Johnson cuts through the lies and hysteria. He argues that white identity politics is inevitable as a consequence of multiculturalism, necessary if whites are to survive, and completely moral. He explains the three foundational concepts of white identity politics: kinship, culture, and love of one's own. He debunks the idea of "white privilege" and the accusation that populism is "anti-democratic." Finally, he explores how "uppity white folks" can build a vital political movement and outlines a path to power. White Identity Politics is the sequel to Greg Johnson's pathbreaking 2018 book The White Nationalist Manifesto and is written in the same clear and compelling style. White Identity Politics is required reading to understand the fundamental ideas and deep social trends behind Trump, Brexit, Orb n, and Salvini-and why uppity white folks are not done yet.
