Named States Rights Gist by his father, the Harvard Law School graduate went on to become a Confederate general despite his lack of formal military training. This biography fills in the outline of Gist that other historians have left incomplete. His brilliant performance in high command led him to become a militia general at the age of twenty-four. He participated in the first shots at Fort Sumter and lead the charge at Franklin, Tennessee, dying gallantly in the process. In the interim, he was a combat leader at First Manassas, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and the Atlanta campaign.

Theology for Pew and Pulpit: The Everlasting Song

Bassett, Joseph A.

Religion & Spirituality

The Fourth Gospel is an unusual resource for those in the pew, the pulpit, or for the pastoral student. The Reverend Professor Cullen I K Story has skillfully provided a new synthesis of insights from the church fathers, novelists, poets, and contemporary theologians for all who want a deeper understanding of John's message. Story's solid middle of the road approach makes the book of John accessible as a committed Christian without limiting him to any one modern trend.
Why another commentary on John's gospel? Because it speaks to both clergy and lay people today as a living narrative, reminding the reader of the themes of the love that triumphs over sin and death and the call to service in the world. The Fourth Gospel has been the object of serious investigation since the end of the first century A.D., the last of the four gospels which the Christian community received as the foundation of faith.
To enhance the reader's understanding of John's language and symbolism, Story begins with the original Greek and then proceeds to illuminate the Gospel's rich theological concepts: "the bread of life, rivers of living water, the resurrection and the life, one flock, one shepherd, etc..." Story's credibility as a scholar and Ms traditional yet fresh approach to the gospel of John make his commentary one which belongs in the library of students of scripture, whether they are in a seminary, a parish or an office.

Breathtaking in its scope, yet down to earth in its ability to reach the average person, God and World Religions will change all who read it. This is a book pastors and laypersons of any religion or creed can understand. Paul Johnson has organized his material by theological topics for all interested in world religions. Comparing such themes as fear and love, and the divine-human relationship, Johnson takes the reader into new ways of looking at the beliefs of Native American, buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, and other religions. Combing insights from scriptures, historical events, astronomy, and understandings of how language can be used, Johnson examines the deities, beliefs, practices, history, and traditions of all of the world's major religions.

His experiences as a refugee from Nazi-dominated Hungary convinced John R. Bodo that there is just one Gospel, indivisible, personal, and social, and that 'mixing religion and politics' is part of a pastor's prophetic responsibility. This book is Bodo's spiritual autobiography, and based on twenty-one sermons preached over the last half-century, Bodo presents in biblical and theological perspective many controversial public issues which continue to engage and sharply divide Americans.Commitment to the freedom of the pulpit and to responsible prophetic preaching has marked Bodo's entire ministry. Prophet on the Payroll illustrates Bodo's lifelong struggle to apply the justice and compassion of Jesus to some of the toughest issues facing post-industrial, multi-cultural, modern America.

Major General George J. Stannard was Vermont’s greatest Civil War hero. With the exception of his critical role at Gettysburg, little has been written about him. Vermont Hero: Major General George J. Stannard fills this historical void. George Stannard, a militia colonel, was the first Vermonter to volunteer in the Civil War. He served from June 21, 1861, to June 28, 1866. Some significant highlights of his military career include his position as colonel of the Ninth Vermont; his participation in the events that occurred at Harpers Ferry on September 15, 1862; his role in defeating Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg; and his role in capturing Fort Harrison on September 29, 1864.
